The Chase and Wonder advent calendar holds 12 home fragrance gifts, each boxed, wrapped and numbered by hand in the brand's Cheshire studio. It costs £295, and Chase and Wonder says the contents are worth £435.
Inside are a full-size ceramic candle in fine bone china, six glass candles, two room fragrances, two travel tin candles and a jar of matches. However, Chase and Wonder made only 200 for 2026, so it may sell out. I checked the price and contents on its site on 11 November 2026.
The star is The Starry Night, a refillable ceramic candle in hand-decorated fine bone china with 22ct gold detail. Its scent is orange, cinnamon and pine over wood, so it smells like Christmas.
Next come six 185g glass candles, each in a different scent. Home For Christmas mixes pine, berries, clove and amber. By contrast, The Land of Nod is lavender, chamomile and vanilla. In addition, there are two room fragrances, The Flower Lady and The Orangery.
Finally, there are two 50g travel tins, The Botanist and The Library. A jar of luxury matches is new for 2026. Everything arrives in a keepsake box that Chase and Wonder says it has made heavier and stronger this year.

It suits the person who lights a candle every evening and already knows what they like. For example, it suits a parent, a partner or a host who dresses the house for December.
Because every gift is boxed on its own, any of the twelve can also be passed on as a present. That makes it useful for someone who likes to give small gifts over Christmas.
It counts down 12 days, not 24, so it covers only half of December. Also, the "worth £435" figure is Chase and Wonder's own sum of its shop prices. So the saving only counts if you would buy those candles anyway.
Meanwhile, £295 is a lot for an advent calendar. If they only burn one or two scents, a single full-size candle is the cheaper gift. Lastly, which scent hides behind which number stays secret until it is opened.

Chase and Wonder lists all twelve scents and the value of each item on its calendar page. To compare it with cheese, cocktail and pet calendars, see my cool advent calendars guide, with the cost per door for all 15.
It costs £295 on the Chase and Wonder site, with tracked delivery included. The brand values the contents at £435, which works out at about £24.58 per gift at the price you pay.
There are 12 gifts. They include a full-size ceramic candle, six glass candles and two room fragrances, plus two travel tins and matches. Chase and Wonder lists every scent on its site, but not which number holds which.
It is good value if they would burn all eight candles anyway. After all, the price is well below the brand's shop prices. On the other hand, if they stick to one favourite scent, a single candle is the better buy.
Chase and Wonder says it is dispatching now, in order of purchase, so it should arrive well before 1 December. Only 200 were made, though, so check stock first.
I checked the price and stock on 11 November 2026.
