Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar 2026 Review: Full Unboxing

The Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar is the cheapest full 24-day sex toy advent calendar in Lovehoney’s 2026 range.

It costs £99 / $129, or £79.20 / $103.20 with my code SEXTOYREVIEW20, and Lovehoney says the contents are worth £280.76 / $345.77.

I’ve opened all 24 doors, and unfortunately this was easily the most disappointing of the three Lovehoney calendars I was sent.

There are some fun bits, particularly if you’re completely new to sex toys, and the Womanizer Starlet 3 clitoral suction toy gives the final door some genuine value. But there’s also a lot of very inexpensive filler.

Most importantly, the excellent Lovehoney Couple’s Advent Calendar is only £40 more once both are discounted. If your budget can stretch to it, that’s the one I’d buy.

SPOILER ALERT: I’ve opened the whole calendar below. If you want to keep the contents as a surprise, then skip the day-by-day section and head straight to my value comparison and verdict.

First Impressions Of This Sex Toy Advent Calendar

The packaging gives away fairly quickly that this is Lovehoney’s budget 24-day calendar. It’s attractive enough, with pastel pinks, purples and blues, but it doesn’t feel very festive and it’s not as heavy or substantial as the other calendars I’ve reviewed – The Couple’s Calendar and the Luxury Calendar.

It’s also slightly annoying to unbox. The Couple’s and Luxury calendars open up like books so you can see everything laid out and make it easy to remove and replace each individual box. With the Enjoy calendar, you get two layers with days 1-12 on top and days 13-24 underneath. Unboxing the lot I ended up surrounded by a pile of compartments which I shall be trying to get back in like some kind of kinky jigsaw puzzle.

The calendar costs £99 full price and contains 24 doors so I wasn’t expecting premium toys every day, but after opening the much better Couple’s Advent Calendar only a few days prior, I perhaps wasn’t quite prepared for how modest some of them would be either.

What’s Inside The Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar 2026?

Here’s the full day-by-day run down.

Day 1: Battery-Powered Bullet Vibrator

The first door contains a basic silver bullet vibrator. It’s battery-powered rather than rechargeable, and feels like a roughly £5 toy rather than an exciting start to a £99 calendar.

Unfortunately it arrived cracked. Not a great start.

Verdict: Basic (and unfortunately cracked).

Day 2: Womanizer Water-Based Lubricant

A 60ml bottle of Womanizer water-based lubricant. Not exciting, but lube is always useful and at least it’s something most people will actually use.

Verdict: Practical.

Day 3: Reindeer Cock Ring

A stretchy cock ring complete with little reindeer antlers. It’s silly, cheap and festive, which I can’t really complain about in a Christmas advent calendar.

Verdict: Novelty, but festively appropriate.

Day 4: Padded Blindfold

A simple padded blindfold. It does the job, but feels noticeably cheaper than the versions in Lovehoney’s more expensive calendars. Could have been a more festive pattern, I thought.

Verdict: Fine for beginners.

Day 5: TPE Butt Plug

This is a small, soft butt plug with a reassuringly wide T-shaped base. I actually prefer the shape to the little jewelled plugs included in the other calendars, but it’s made from TPE, so not something good for re-use (read our sex toy materials guide here)

Verdict: Good shape, disappointing material.

Day 6: Menthol Pleasure Balm

A small pot of menthol pleasure balm. I’ve now received this in multiple calendars and the very minty smell hasn’t convinced me to put it anywhere particularly sensitive.

Verdict: Not for me.

Day 7: Sex Position Dice

A sex-position dice. Perfectly harmless couples fun, but it’s hard not to notice that we’re a week in and there hasn’t been anything particularly substantial in the calendar.

Verdict: Cheap novelty extra.

Day 8: Finger Vibrator Sleeve

This soft sleeve fits over the bullet from Day 1 and turns it into a finger vibrator. Again, it’s made from TPE, so I left it sealed rather than opening something I wouldn’t subsequently keep.

Verdict: Little value to me.

Day 9: Fresh Toy Wipes

Toy wipes. Useful, certainly, but nine days in I was starting to wonder when the calendar was going to produce something exciting.

Verdict: Useful filler.

Day 10: Bondage Rope

The larger box got my hopes up. It contained a length of purple bondage rope.

It’s reasonably sturdy with properly finished ends and could be a nice introduction to restraint play, but this still felt like another inexpensive accessory.

Verdict: Functional, if not thrilling.

Day 11: Rechargeable Mini Wand

Finally, a toy!

This is an extremely small wand vibrator with a flexible head. It’s cute, rechargeable and considerably more interesting than most of the first ten days, although it’s definitely mini in every sense.

The controls are slightly unusual, starting strong and then cycling through lower speeds before the patterns.

Verdict: Definitely the best door so far, although that isn’t saying a lot.

Day 12: Mini Paddle

Halfway there now, and behind door 12 is a small bright-pink impact paddle.

I like paddles, so this was the first door that produced a genuinely enthusiastic response from me. It’s basic, but a perfectly decent beginner-friendly introduction to impact play.

Verdict: Simple but fun.

My Thoughts Halfway Through

By Day 12, the problem with the Enjoy calendar was becoming fairly obvious. There was plenty of variety, but a lot of it was tat.

Obviously you’re partly paying for the advent-calendar experience rather than simply buying £99 worth of loose products, but at the halfway point it still felt very light on real value. Aside from the Mini Wand and maybe the rope, there’s nothing here I’d have spent more than £1 on.

Day 13: Masturbator Egg

A small textured masturbator egg, similar in concept to a TENGA Egg. I left this sealed so I can pass it on unused.

Verdict: Cheap way to experiment with a stroker, although even the premium TENGA version wasn’t great so I have low expectations.

Day 14: Sexy Snap Game

The same sex-position card game included in the other Lovehoney calendars. Fun, silly, cheap little filler.

Verdict: Relevant couples extra.

Day 15: TPE G-Spot Dildo

A small, soft curved dildo designed for G-spot stimulation.

The shape is perfectly reasonable, but it’s another TPE toy and therefore not something I’d personally use internally.

Verdict: My kingdom for some silicone toys.

Day 16: Nipple Clamps

A pair of very basic nipple clamps.

There’s no chain to connect them, and they’re not particularly padded so as someone who isn’t particularly enthusiastic about nipple play anyway, these did very little for me.

Verdict: Cheap and niche.

Day 17: Tickler

A long-handled soft tickler for sensation play. Not valuable, but cute and potentially fun for teasing or lighter sensory play.

Verdict: I mean… It’s fine.

Day 18: Vanilla Massage Oil

A 30ml bottle of vanilla massage oil. I like massage oil and it will get used, although I have now accumulated quite a lot of it from these calendars.

Verdict: Useful consumable.

Day 19: Plastic Handheld Massager

A little manual back/body massager. It feels more like something you’d get in a cracker than a sex toy advent calendar.

Verdict: Very cheap filler.

Day 20: Anal Beads

A set of soft TPE anal beads. Again, these stayed sealed because I wouldn’t personally keep or use them.

Verdict: Potentially useful for experimenting, but not for me.

Day 21: Heart Nipple Pasties

A pair of heart-shaped nipple pasties. Very cheap filler, cute enough if dress-up is your thing. It isn’t particularly mine.

Verdict: Harmless filler. 3 more days and really nothing is standing out.

Day 22: Bunny Cock Ring Attachment

A bunny-eared attachment designed to hold the Day 1 bullet.

I actually like the general idea. The Couple’s calendar uses one rechargeable bullet to power lots of different attachments, and it works surprisingly well.

This version just feels much cheaper, and it’s made of TPE so once again – it won’t be going anywhere near my genitals.

Verdict: Decent idea, budget execution.

Day 23: Storage Bag

A bag.

A bag!

That’s it.

I assume it’s there to store the Womanizer behind Door 24, although it’s Lovehoney and not Womanizer branded. OK a storage pouch is useful, but giving it an entire advent-calendar door felt optimistic and a bit of a kick in the teeth, if I’m honest.

Verdict: Christmas Eve Eve deserved better.

Day 24: Womanizer Starlet 3

Finally, we get to the product doing most of the heavy lifting.

The Womanizer Starlet 3 is a compact entry-level clitoral suction toy and one of the cheapest ways into the Womanizer range.

It’s small, lightweight and discreet, with proper up and down intensity controls rather than the single-button system found on many cheap suction toys.

I don’t see the Starlet 3 as an upgrade for someone who already owns a good suction toy. If you were planning to buy one anyway, this calendar might be worth it after all, but I would probably prefer a chocolate one.

Verdict: The genuinely valuable product the calendar badly needed.

A Note On The Materials

I genuinely rate Lovehoney but there is no denying that some of the toys they stock are made from questionable materials. Usually this is made extremely clear on the product description.

Lovehoney does disclose what the toys are made from in the included safety guide, but it’s tiny, and you really have to look. Your average couple opening this calendar may not even be aware that the products are TPE rather than silicone, including some of the insertable toys.

TPE is porous and harder to clean thoroughly than silicone, so it isn’t a material I would advise keeping and reuse long-term. That obviously affects how much value those particular doors.

They’re not necessarily pointless. A cheap toy can be a useful way of discovering whether you enjoy a particular shape or type of stimulation before spending significantly more on it. I just wish the material information was more prominent, particularly in a calendar likely to attract beginners.

Come on Lovehoney, you’re better than this!

Is The Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar Worth £99?

I think it depends on what you’re actually buying. If you’re simply buying an advent calendar, there’s undeniably some fun here. You have something sex-related to open every day for 24 days, you get to experiment with lots of different types of play, and there’s a Womanizer toy waiting at the end.

Advent calendars generally aren’t bought because every individual door represents exceptional financial value.

If you’re buying it primarily as a sex toy collection, however…

There were simply too many days where I opened the box and found something worth very little to me.

If I were gifting this to a partner, I’d genuinely be tempted to put sweets into some of the smaller doors to keep morale up.

Enjoy Vs Couple’s Advent Calendar

This comparison is ultimately what makes the Enjoy advent calendar difficult for me to recommend.

At full price the Enjoy costs £99 and the Couple’s is £149.

With our 20% discount code SEXTOYREVIEW20 that comes down to £79.20 and £119.20, a £40 difference.

For that extra £40, the Couple’s calendar gives you a slightly better air pulse toy in the Womanizer Liberty 2, We-Vibe Sync Lite, a rechargeable remote-controlled bullet, much better silicone reusable attachments and generally more substantial contents.

I appreciate £40 is still significant, particularly for a Christmas novelty purchase, but having opened both, if you can afford the extra £40, I think the Couple’s calendar is considerably better value.

Who Is The Lovehoney Enjoy Calendar Best For?

I’d consider the Lovehony Enjoy sex toy advent calendar if you:

• specifically want the Womanizer Starlet 3;
• want a full 24-day countdown for under £100;
• have very few sex toys already and want to experiment;
• care more about the fun of a daily surprise than getting the best possible toys for your money.

If you already own a decent vibrator and clitoral suction toy, I think you’re likely to find much of it underwhelming.

Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar 2026: Verdict

The Lovehoney Enjoy Advent Calendar is fun in concept, but the £99 budget has been stretched very thinly across 24 doors.

The Womanizer Starlet 3, rechargeable mini wand and a few useful accessories give it some genuine value, but too many of the remaining doors feel extremely cheap or disposable.

I give it a 2/5 for value, and a 2/5 for contents. If the Starlet 3 was already on your shopping list, then fine. Otherwise, I’d spend another £40 on the Couple’s calendar.
