Quick Answer
Our 2026 Crystal Advent Calendar is a colourable advent box with 24 numbered windows. Behind each window is one real crystal plus a card explaining what that stone means, so you open a new crystal every day from December 1 to 24. Each calendar holds at least $100 in crystals and costs $69.99 CAD. It's on presale now and ships from Regina, SK starting mid-October. Order by October 1, 2026 and you also get a free surprise crystal bracelet (valued at $25+) as a Day 25 gift.
Hi, I'm Laurie. Every fall the same question lands in my inbox: "Are you doing the advent calendar again?" This year, so many of you also asked for the same format: one crystal each day, with a card sharing its meaning. So we brought that format back for 2026.
This post walks through what's inside, how it works, what the presale bonus is, and when it ships, so you can decide whether it's the right gift (for someone else or for you).
What's inside the 2026 Crystal Advent Calendar?
- 24 crystals, one per day. Each numbered window, 1 to 24, holds one stone.
- A meaning card with every crystal. Each stone comes with a card that shares its name and meaning, so you learn something new every morning instead of guessing what you just opened.
- New finds. I sourced stones especially for this calendar, including some I've never carried in the shop before.
- A colourable advent box. The box is made to be coloured in, which makes it a nice little family project before December 1.
- At least $100 in crystals. Individual stones in the calendar range from about $3 to $6 each at our regular prices, and every calendar is built to a minimum of $100 in value. You pay $69.99.
Stone sizes vary, and the photos on the listing are examples only. The exact mix stays a surprise, which is half the fun. Every calendar is assembled by hand here in Regina, and I choose the stones with love, intuition and intention.
The presale bonus: a free crystal bracelet for Day 25
Order your calendar by October 1, 2026 and I'll tuck in a free surprise crystal bracelet, valued at $25 or more, as your Day 25 gift. It's my thank-you to the people who order early, and it helps me plan how many calendars to build.
After October 1, the calendar is still available while supplies last, but the bracelet bonus ends.
How the calendar works
- Colour the box (optional, but recommended).
- Starting December 1, open one window a day.
- Read the card and spend a minute with the stone. Hold it, set it on your desk or nightstand, or add it to a little bowl so the whole collection builds up through the month.
- By December 24 you'll have a 24-stone collection with a card for every crystal, which is a lovely starter set if you're new to crystals.
If you're a beginner and wondering what to do with 24 stones afterward, my guide Your First Crystals: How to Choose a Starter Set You Will Actually Use has ideas for keeping, carrying and displaying them.
Who is it for?
- Crystal beginners who want to learn a new stone every day without buying 24 separately.
- Collectors who like surprises and want to see the new material I found this year.
- Families and kids who enjoy a daily countdown and a colouring project.
- Anyone hard to shop for. It's a gift that keeps going for 24 days.
When does it ship?
This is a presale. Calendars start shipping in mid-October 2026, which gives plenty of time to arrive before December 1 anywhere in Canada, and time for international orders too. We ship from Regina, Saskatchewan across Canada and worldwide. Local Regina customers can choose free pickup at checkout.
Tip: Standard shipping is free on Canadian orders over $75. The calendar is $69.99, so adding a tumbled pocket stone or a small stocking stuffer usually gets your whole order shipped free.
