# Nora Whitfield — Advent Calendar Gifts
Former retail buyer writing about advent calendars: what the categories contain, how the door math works, and when in the season to buy.
Nora spent six years as a buyer for a national beauty retailer, where the holiday assortment was planned in February and argued about until August. Advent calendars were the part of the calendar she looked forward to — the one product that has to be a story as well as a box.
She started writing about them publicly because the shopping advice available in October was, almost without exception, a list of links with no explanation of what a "value" claim on the front of a box is actually worth.
She writes from the buyer's side of the table: what goes into an assortment, why the last door is always the best one, and why the calendar you buy in September is a different purchase from the one you panic-buy on December 2.
