For £180 (while total product value is £120), this calendar is absolutely not worth it. Especially when you have so many dupes in there. There should never be an exact dupe in an advent calendar. These calendars should be used as a marketing tool to promote all the variety you can get from the brand and idd have something unique / exclusive as the last day. I can't believe how many companies (Lindt incl.) do not get that and instead opt for deceiving customers and getting a quick buck in the short term, when they can do so much more. Lovely video though and I like your energy ❤ P.S. I absolutely adore dark chocolate and I dislike white chocolate 🙈
My favorite chocolate. As soon as Christmas ends I'm out buying all the half price leftovers. In fortunately in my day they used to over purchase and were almost giving it away. Not so many great deals these days.
Thanks for sharing your giant advent calendar. Just for comparison: the full size 150g Lindor bags are $10🇨🇦 & they do make tinier bears (50g), you received the biggest size that we would be able to purchase 200g $15.00🇨🇦. We can’t buy reindeers. FYI The overall price of chocolate has really increased in the past few years.
New to your channel here I love it all my favorite chocolate is dark chocolate it's very healthy and I would be happy to receive this for Christmas it's awesome
If you only value things like advent calendars, selection boxes, Easter eggs etc on the monetary value of the contents you will always be disappointed. There is a value to the experience and I actually think having this for a family and the experience of opening for 24 days would bring a lot of fun.
@@cassandragough we never said this, I completely agree it’s super fun for Christmas! However when the price is a lot higher than the value of contents it is not good value. If this advent calendar is for you great go for it, this is just an honest review! We all work very hard for our money and I’m not going to be dishonest and say it’s amazing when I don’t think it is.
@kayleigh-mae My comment wasn't meant in any way critical of you or your thoughts on the product. I am sorry you took it that way. In fact I really enjoyed the video. I just think we as a society don't always appreciate the things you can't put a price on.
No worries I completely understand your point! Christmas is about the experience but the average person has to think about the price and £180 is a lot of money, this is why I was disappointed in the products, for the average household it’s a lot to spend to not get a lot in return :)
I also got a Lindt Advent Calendar, mine cost £10 and includes; snowballs-milk&white choc, mini choc bars, mini Teddies, mini Reindeers, mini Santa and a Big Teddy on Christmas Eve. It didn’t have boxes of chocolates but I think mine was more exciting and definitely better value for money!!! ✌🏻🇬🇧
I can’t with the Easter bunnies that have antlers added and become “reindeer” 😅 and who in their right mind puts the contents on the front cover(s). What a spoiler!!!!!
With this company so big they never used there noggin to do more shapes like christmas tree snowman plus christmas flavors and around £50 for a box go get a gift box dress it up and fill it love the vlog you saved us buying this thanks merry early christmas ☃🎄
It needs more variety of flavors that the truffles come in, peppermint since it is a holiday box and o duplicates. I'm surprised there were no mini truffle reindeer/santa/bears/snowmen that come on cards of 5, those are nice for sharing when there are kids.
we didn’t pay for shipping we bought and took it home ourselves. Whilst I appreciate the novelty, look and experience it’s still not worth the money- just personal opinion if it’s for you great go for it 🥰
I've watched several of these advent calendar unboxings and every opener is most disappointed by duplicates. You'd think these companies would have enough product not to duplicate (sometimes 4 times like this one). Also, a lot of them cost too much for the privilege of ripping apart cardboard with gifts way overcharged.
Advent Calendars are a scam in general, it’s rare to get your money’s worth. People enjoy them because it’s like gambling. You take a chance that you won’t like the outcome, since you didn’t choose the products. You are right, you get all kinds of flavours at stores that sell this chocolate in bulk and you don’t risk getting flavours you can’t stand.
Let's be honest, if someone either receives as a gift or buys one for themselves at that price, they obviously feel it's worth it too them & they can afford it If you're going to be disappointed you probably shouldn't have spent that much to begin with.... All the contents ARE listed on the box (the only surprise is what door they're behind)
girl I think anyone who’s spent £180 would be disappointed with a RRP of considerably less that’s just common sense regardless of affordability. “You probably shouldn’t have spent that much to begin with” I’m entitled to spend my money how I wish hope this helps! We make these videos to show YOU Guys what’s inside the box so you don’t end up wasting your money. This advent calendar was also dropped in price from £180 to £100 recently after the backlash so Lindt is clearly making a hell of a lot of profit of this- let’s not blindly encourage robbing people of their hard earned money thanks xx
Never mind you got to do a vid on UA-cam ....Avent calendars rarely give you more value ( i watched a dior one paid 5540 2900 worth of stuff) its an experience for when i was v young counting down the days to Christmas..now its just commercial crap for people like yourselfs ps lint is bloody good an indulgence for many ...Why not donate to local foodbank make someone's Christmas ❤
Nah they're pretty bad too. Sephora usually just gives you a bunch of applicators and needless items instead of makeup. I watched someone open the 2500 sephora point "bonus perk" avdent and it was a bunch of silicone tools😂😂
it would be better if they didnt duplicate products the amount of santas and deer were stupid... a calender that size i would think it to be a family size one with box holes filled with chocolates.
I'm not much of a fan of the figures. I enjoy all the delicious cream fillings. My biggest let down was they didn't include any at all. I don't count hazelnut because it's yucky :-) I so appreciate you sharing this with us and felt terrible it was a disappointment. I am pleased to be a new subscriber. You are a lovely couple 💑
Kind of a downer talking about worth at every door. This advent is more worth it compared to other high priced with little £1 items. Part of the price is that its a gift and something special for Christmas. It also provided content, yes?
@joybranch-londesborough6617 I paid £180 for it so yes I will be talking about the value of each door to let you guys know if it’s worth your money or not. I’m not comparing it to other calendars I’m talking about this one and what the products are worth based on RRP. I love the novelty and the look of the advent calendar I said this throughout the video, but I’m not going to be dishonest and say it’s worth the money when I don’t think it is lol. We all work hard for our money and don’t think we should have to spend ridiculous amounts because “it’s a gift” that’s just silly.
No it's a rip-off it's like you say they put different flavours in and made it more exciting but as it is it's the chocolate you can get down the street
The "protective layer" is the same image!!! Only on cheaper card board! Total rip off!! Kinda silly they put a picture of everything you get on the outside of the package, not very well thought through for a kind of bougie chocolate company if you ask me....
No no no it's not the biggest calendar.. the biggest calendar is PLouise Express Advent calendar 2024. It looks like a "pink poudlard express train" and take 3 super big packages. It's not chocolate calendar but make up calendar.
I have seen two of these videos now on this advent calendar and i love lindor chocolate especially the birthday cake ones but never would i pay this much for a big box of their chocolates i mean its just not worth it now if they were doing the 10 oz bags instead of the 6oz maybe but the little santa chocolates and stuff obviously not. The kicker is you know what comes in the box and u still paid all that money for what views thats wild its obvious that calender is nit worth it.
Hi Crystal, I agree with you the calendar was not worth it but no we didn’t know what was in it and secondly we didn’t pay the price for “views”. We did not know it was a rip off and we hadn’t seen anyone else review it- we simply saw it in our local Costco and thought it would be fun to unbox. If you look at our TikTok we buy a lot of large items to show our audience if it’s worth the money or not- we never look to see what’s in it and the picture of the advent calendar showed about ten items- we were not aware we were getting dupes. This video was just a bit of fun, but most importantly we like showing you guys if things are worth YOUR money not simply for “views”.
Def super lazy profit grabbing bs. I feel like every company is like "well then others are doing it! Let's jump on board" and it's literally screwing over thier customers. Not even any christmas flavors in thier christmas collection? And they could have added added a lot more variety. They have put some of thier actual chocolate bars as well as some packs of thier luxury chocolates or pralines. So disappointing. On the website you can even buy a bowl, they could have included that!! 🤦♀️
You’re not going to get chocolate to the value of £180. You pay for the packaging which is a lot and the fun of opening a box everyday. Lindt is my favourite chocolate but I wouldn’t want this. I have wanted to know what it was like though so thanks for sharing.
@kayleigh-mae I just found your channel and I appreciate that you guys did this. It isn't completely horrible since you do have some good chocolates to share. And the hazelnut 🤢 LOL
Could bought a month of groceries Or week shopping 🛒 and treated yourself. Companies who do this should be closed down It's disgusting it's discrimination Rich get richer and the poor get poorer And people are struggling to make ends meat and we're paying room tax ARE THEY?
That's a rip off yes. At least you maybe saved some people from buying this calender by this video :D I really didn't like all the repetitive things. Come on..give some variation! And indeed some things were way too small. The box should cost 90 pounds... that way it was more of value.
They should have done some of the Christmas flavors like the peppermint or mint cookie truffles
Yes, like the white chocolate peppermint truffles, or the peppermint bark they have! This is a bit of a disappointment.
Hey,
I luv ur vids ❤
Wishing u a merry Christmas 🎅 🌲
Dark chocolate is delicious!!

Totally agree 🥰
I love white chocolate and dislike dark chocolate lol
You paid a lot for cardboard
real
May be, it's reusable?
😂
Only good thing about the dupes is if you have 2 or 3 kids they would each get their own Santa, Reindeer and Bear 🤣🤣🤣

Nice, that you put everything back so tidy.
I would be happy with this advent calendar because I like this chocolate
I do not like Nutella, but I LOVE the Lindt hazelnut truffles. I suggest you try it. You may just like it.
New to your channel here I love it all my favorite chocolate is dark chocolate it's very healthy and I would be happy to receive this for Christmas it's awesome
My favorite!
Yum..chocky everyday for a month ❤🎉😊
Would love to have more Christmas flavours and more variety of chocolates
I love Dark Chocolate. My mother only used dark when I was growing up.
I love dark chocolate too. My mom hated it. She said it tasted like ExLax lol 😂
I love this chocolate and I love hazelnut and dark chocolate. So if yall wanna send me the dark chocolate I’ll pay for it lol. 😂 ❤

Seems like a nice calendar for a big family or an office
Lindt dark chocolate is amazing. I find the milk Lindt too sickly sweet but love the dark.
So it's £60 for the cardboard, most expensive recycling ever 😅
@@allankirk1128 🤣🤣
Like hazelnut,white😊
Kayleigh,just go to the lint shop and buy what you want.😊
Yes more value and what you want.

@Merry Christmas 🎄✌🏻🇬🇧

Advent calendars shouldn’t have any doubles. There all expensive to get doubles, triples and so on.
I agree!
With this company so big they never used there noggin to do more shapes like christmas tree snowman plus christmas flavors and around £50 for a box go get a gift box dress it up and fill it love the vlog you saved us buying this thanks merry early christmas ☃🎄
Well I really think advent calendars aren’t designed to be a hugely great value, it’s the experience yer paying for
The fact they had so many reindeers and all of them were laying down when the door was opened is crazy.
Tbh we did have to whack it about in the car to get it home so that might be why they fell🤣🍫
It needs more variety of flavors that the truffles come in, peppermint since it is a holiday box and o duplicates. I'm surprised there were no mini truffle reindeer/santa/bears/snowmen that come on cards of 5, those are nice for sharing when there are kids.
£180 is rediculous for that. Made a Cool vid though 😊👍
Yeah we deffo got ripped off haha 🥲
Normal is weird, and dark chocolate is the only edible one. LOL
Most of the advents have a ton of cost in the packaging lol. Y’all are adorable tho and I enjoyed watching 🙂
You pay for the Christmas look, the experience, the shipping and the chocolate.
we didn’t pay for shipping we bought and took it home ourselves. Whilst I appreciate the novelty, look and experience it’s still not worth the money- just personal opinion if it’s for you great go for it 🥰
get all that for about £90 at tesco 🤦🏽♀ crazy but great vid you was a real one for spending the money to show us
Omg that is sooo bad for the price 😭 i love all chocolate 😂 i never loked dark chocolate but ben does and as ive got older i dont mind it ❤
Thank you for getting right into it😅
Ofccc :)
I can’t believe they put spoilers all over the calendar box.
I love love love love dark chocolate. I used to not like it but I’m 52. I’m convinced age has something to do with it. Your taste buds change.

You'd think these companies would have enough product not to duplicate (sometimes 4 times like this one). Also, a lot of them cost too much for the privilege of ripping apart cardboard with gifts way overcharged.
That’s a laugh for the price 😂😮😅
Typical holiday shoppers 19minutes of complaning
Did you want me to lie and say it’s worth the money when I don’t think it is ?
Did you buy this at costco?
Thank god I won’t be wasting my money buy this but thanks for sharing
Dark chocolate is my favorite
Dark chocolate is the best
$360aud. Yep no way.
Have enough trouble paying $5aud for Cadbury.
Havnt seen a Lindt one here (regular one) not sure if Costco here does one
Thank you for the video, fun to see. I love Lindt chocolate, but the calendar is overpriced
I totally agree!
loved this video, Ellises reaction to all the Hazel nut things was hilarious, such a rip of though!! ❤
definitely 🤣🥲
I also hate dark chocolate and hazelnut so I'm with you 😊
19K Indian Rupees no thankyou🙂. I would go for a 5 day vacation in goa for that amount.
I hate all kinds of nuts, Nutella is also a no no, but I love dark chocolate. Advent calendar is a BIG rip off
Are the bears and reindeers solid chocolate?
@@tlsimmons8439 hollow I think
They're definitely hollow. I've had them before.
Usually you get a higher value than you paid. You got everything on the cover of the box only.
I only like dark chocolate & white chocolate

Agreed, it was a bit disappointing but we enjoy the experience of advent calendars more than anything :)
That would probably take me most of the year to entire year to eat it all
Full size of all those costs way more

If you'd spent that on a beauty advent you'd be looking at high hundreds value
Nah they're pretty bad too. Sephora usually just gives you a bunch of applicators and needless items instead of makeup. I watched someone open the 2500 sephora point "bonus perk" avdent and it was a bunch of silicone tools😂😂
Sephoras looks terrible one literally had a dog toothbrush
Ya most the beauty ones I’ve seen have been a joke!
Please send them to me i absolutely love dark chocolate above all others.
Every single item was shown on the packaging lol very very expensive
it would be better if they didnt duplicate products the amount of santas and deer were stupid... a calender that size i would think it to be a family size one with box holes filled with chocolates.

Not worth it. You could buy what you got separately then bought some lovely boxes or bags to put them in for cheaper.
What a rip off it would have been nice with a voucher inside for something extra

It's disgusting it's discrimination
Rich get richer and the poor get poorer
And people are struggling to make ends meat and we're paying room tax ARE THEY?
Paid £9.00 for 3 packs of the thins.
Surely it's not a dupe, it's a repeat, a dupe is a cheaper copy?
dupe just means duplicate :)
@kayleigh-mae thanks xx
I would have expected better from Lindt,but i’m thinking Lindt is over rated.
180 pounds that is to expensive
Fr 🥲
@ you should do high or lower then 50 crème eggs in a big box of crème eggs
Should always have more value in the calendar.. rip off
I hate dark chocolate 🍫😫🎅
What a rip-off! Thank You though!!
lot of money for chocolate
Ohhh that’s a rip off 😮
$227 american dollars, no thank you.
What a rip off! Sorry y’all.😢
That's a rip off yes. At least you maybe saved some people from buying this calender by this video :D
I really didn't like all the repetitive things. Come on..give some variation! And indeed some things were way too small. The box should cost 90 pounds... that way it was more of value.
I would have never got that for that price absolutely not, you got robbed from your money for this I'm sorry
