Reviewers have opened every door of Lovehoney's £119 couples advent calendar - and their verdicts reveal whether its claimed £487.75 contents are worth the money.
There's only one problem with buying an advent calendar containing 24 surprises: resisting the temptation to find out what's behind every door before December even starts.
Some reviewers have shown considerably less restraint, opening the entire Lovehoney Couple's Advent Calendar and revealing exactly what buyers get for their money.
And their verdicts make interesting reading, particularly because the calendar has now dropped from £149 to £119, with Lovehoney claiming the contents would cost £487.75 bought separately. That works out at a £368.75, or 76%, saving.
We're not going to list all 24 items here. Anyone determined to spoil the surprise can see exactly what's hiding behind every door.
But those who have already opened the lot appear broadly impressed.
The Sun put three of Lovehoney's 2026 calendars through their paces and said the couples version "can't be accused of being all tinsel and no substance".
Its reviewer praised the variety of what was inside and the fact the collection included products aimed at both partners rather than concentrating entirely on one person.
Reviewers pick out the value
Specialist site Sex Toy Reviews UK also opened all 24 doors and compared the couples calendar with Lovehoney's cheaper £99 Enjoy version and £299 Luxury calendar.
Its reviewer picked the couples edition as the best all-rounder, saying it offered the "best balance of premium toys, variety and genuinely useful contents". The review did find some filler, but said there was considerably less of it than in the cheaper calendar.
That review was based on the previous £149 price. The same calendar currently costs £119, making the value calculation rather different now.
Cosmopolitan has also named it its best overall for couples in its round-up of 2026 adult advent calendars.
And one buyer review highlighted by HELLO! suggests that sticking rigidly to the traditional one-door-a-day rule may prove difficult.
The customer said: "Opening these mystery boxes is the highlight of our week", adding that they had already started opening them early.
So what is actually inside?
That depends on how much of Christmas you want spoiled.
Lovehoney says there are 24 products spanning bigger-ticket branded items, accessories, games and other surprises intended for couples to discover together.
Two of the headline products alone normally cost £89.99 and £79.99, but we'll leave their identities hidden for anyone who still wants some mystery.
Those whose curiosity has won can see the complete list of all 24 products here.
The £119 price also qualifies for Lovehoney's free delivery, which is available on orders over £50.
There may be another reason not to deliberate too long. Lovehoney is currently marking the £119 couples calendar as "last chance" and says it will not be restocked.
Whether buyers manage to leave all 24 doors closed until December is another matter.
