What a week.
Honestly, I’m not quite sure how to put it into words because what has happened with our very first Little Moments Melts Advent Calendar has completely blown us away.
After months of planning, designing, testing, pouring, packing and keeping this little project as secret as we possibly could, we finally revealed our first ever Advent Calendar — and we had absolutely no idea what was about to happen.
We had 50 calendars available.
And after just 47 hours, they were gone.
Every single one.
We are completely overwhelmed. ❤️
A little idea that started back in January…
This Advent Calendar has been a very long time in the making.
It actually started back in January, when we began talking about what our very first Little Moments Melts Christmas Advent Calendar could look like.
We didn’t want to simply put together 24 random wax melts and call it an Advent Calendar.
We wanted to create something really special.
Something that felt like a little Christmas ritual.
Something you would look forward to opening every single morning in December.
And, most importantly, something that felt completely Little Moments Melts.
Our daughter created the beautiful artwork for the calendar, making the whole thing even more personal and special to us. It really has become a little piece of our family as well as our business.
Behind each door is a Christmas-scented wax melt from our brand-new festive fragrance collection, giving you approximately 34 hours of fragrance to enjoy.
And then, behind door number 25, there is an extra hand-finished surprise. 🎁
We may be biased… but we think it’s rather lovely!
Then came launch day…
We knew people had been asking us for years when we were going to make an Advent Calendar.
But even with all those requests, you never really know how something new is going to be received.
Would people like the design?
Would they love the fragrances?
Would they want one?
Would anyone actually buy one?!
Well… you answered those questions rather spectacularly. 😂
Within 47 hours, our original 50 calendars had sold out.
We genuinely couldn’t believe it.
There have been so many lovely messages, comments and orders, and seeing how excited you are about something we have poured so much love into has honestly meant the world to us.
And then you asked for more…
The problem was… we had said 50.
We weren’t planning on making any more.
But after seeing how quickly they sold out — and knowing there were still people who had missed out — we started making a few phone calls.
And somehow, we have managed to secure another 50 calendars that will arrive in time for our November dispatch.
So if you missed the first release…
This is your second chance. 🎄❤️
But this really is the final batch for 2026.
Once these are gone, there won’t be any more this year.
Christmas is coming to the workshop 🎄
Behind the scenes, things are getting very busy here.
Christmas production is well and truly underway, and there is something incredibly special about seeing shelves filling up with festive fragrances, beautiful packaging and products that we know will become part of someone’s Christmas.
From the very beginning, Little Moments Melts has been about those little moments.
That moment when you light a candle after a long day.
That first smell when you walk through the door.
That little bit of Christmas magic when you open an Advent Calendar door each morning.
Those are the moments we love creating.
And knowing that our products are going to be part of so many homes this Christmas makes all the hard work worthwhile.
From our kitchen table to this…
Sometimes I have to stop and think about how far Little Moments Melts has come.
What started on our kitchen table has grown into something I could never have imagined when I first had that “little moment” that inspired the name.
And weeks like this remind me just how lucky we are.
So, whether you have already ordered one of our Advent Calendars, shared our posts, commented, sent us a message or simply followed along and cheered us on…
thank you.
You are helping a little family business make some very big Christmas dreams come true. ❤️
And if you missed out on the first 50, keep your eyes peeled…
Because 50 more Advent Calendars are coming. 🎄✨
