Whether your teen is into crystals or pampering themselves, you’ll find the perfect advent calendar for them below. FYI: Almost all of the options have 24 windows, which means they’ll have a surprise waiting for them every day until Christmas (or they might impatiently open them all in one sitting, we don’t blame them)!
