How to choose art & hobbies for men
- Step 01
Match the doors to the days
14 of the 18 here have 24 doors — a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. The others run 12 and 25, and the shorter ones start partway through the month: a 12-door box opens on 13 December. For someone who will not open one every day, or a gift that will arrive late, fewer doors is the better fit, not the lesser calendar. Every start date
- Step 02
Know which season you are buying
7 of the 18 here are 2026 editions, and 11 are last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. A brand's page keeps every edition together, so check whether the box you are looking at is this year's before you compare prices.
- Step 03
Start from the ones we have opened
5 of the 18 here carry an editors' pick — the chip above the grid narrows the shelf to those — and 7 have a written score. Those are the boxes somebody on this site has actually judged. The rest are listed because they exist, not because we are recommending them; being on this page is not a verdict. How we review

The best value among the calendars here that we have rated this season: contents worth 2.0× the price, rated 4/5, £100, 24 doors. A 100 GBP box that ends with an exclusive fountain pen, in a harlequin case worth keeping. The doors are a secret beyond a rough spoiler, so it's a purchase on trust; of the stationery calendars, it's the one I'd buy.
