As a beauty editor, I’m a professional when it comes to gifting beauty products. Makeup, perfume, hair, beauty devices—I know exactly what everyone wants and the items they’ll love that they don’t even know they want yet. But I got Alo’s self-care advent calendar last year, and I still use so many of the products to this day.
Their headband has a permanent spot in my gym bag, along with the brand’s scrunchies and Magnesium Reset Spray. So I'm gonna cut right to the chase: 2026’s Alo Self-Care Advent Calendar is finally available, but I don’t think it’ll be in stock for long. At $450, this gift set is filled with 24 different products that basically anyone could use, totaling up to a $450 value.
Unlike so many others, though, the focus is on a mixture of wellness and beauty, perfectly fitting with the Alo vibe, of course. There’s a mini woodwick candle that smells like sandalwood, a sweat-wicking headband, a four-pack of Alo's wellness gels for immunity and skin, a travel-size Magnesium Reset Spray, the Bio NAD+ Recovery Eye Masks, an Effortless Claw Clip, a yoga strap, and the brand’s Scrunch Socks. I'm actually giddy just thinking about opening it.
Coming from someone who tests everything, I actually think Alo's beauty and wellness selection is so slept on. While you might know the brand for its performance fabrics and chic loungewear, I personally love its bodycare, especially the formulas with magnesium that help soothe sore muscles. There's also a wide array of wellness products, including supplements for skin health, immunity, overall health, and more (and I actually use and love them).
Not to mention, obvi, if you're working out, it has the best accessories: socks, headbands, hats, towels—you name it. If $450 is a little steep, Alo also dropped a 7 Days of Wellness Advent Calendar for $150, featuring seven products in a mix of full and mini sizes. I’m most excited about the Effortless Claw Clip in pink—the brand’s claw clips are fantastic for quickly pulling back my hair in a workout class and never snag or rip out my hair.
All of this to say: Do not skip this one if you think you'll want it. The products are just so good that I refuse to believe that the stock will last. It’s currently on presale, expected to ship before the end of the month.
