Some advent calendars disappoint. Twenty-four minis, a lip oil you’ll lose by Boxing Day and a candle that smells of “festive”. Lovely. Predictable. Not exactly going to change your life.
Healf’s Wellbeing Advent Calendar is not that calendar. Magnesium, molecular hydrogen tablets, NAD+ patches, a 90-day Fatty15 starter kit. It’s an advent calendar for people who track their sleep scores, and we mean that as the highest compliment.
We’ve had it on our desks for over a month but it also has Claudia Schiffer’s stamp of approval, scroll on to find out whats inside…
What Is The Healf Advent Calendar?
If you haven’t come across Healf yet, it’s the London-based wellbeing platform that curates products across what it calls its Four Pillars: EAT, MOVE, MIND and SLEEP. Think of it as a very picky retailer. According to the company, every product listed on the site has to pass a three-step curation process before it’s allowed anywhere near your basket, and in 2026 the Financial Times named Healf the fastest-growing company in Europe on its FT1000 list.
Last year’s calendar sold out well before Christmas, so this year Healf has doubled the run to 1,000 calendars. The 2026 edition is priced at £349 and contains 26 products from 26 brands, 24 of them full size, with a total RRP of £1,005. In plain English: its worth nearly three times what you pay, and this time the “value” isn’t made up of 5ml sachets.
Eight of the brands inside are exclusive to the calendar in the UK: LMNT, Momentous, Fatty15, H2Tab, Kaicao, Mindbyte and What’s That Patch are all in there, alongside the headline addition: Humanrace, the skincare brand founded by Pharrell Williams, which joins the calendar for the first time this year.
Why we care: this is the first advent calendar we’ve seen that treats wellbeing and biohacking with the same cult-product energy the beauty industry has had for a decade. It’s not a beauty calendar with a token vitamin thrown in. It’s the other way round.
Why It’s Perfect For Biohackers
Let’s talk about what’s actually behind the doors, because this is where it earns the biohacker label: Thorne Magnesium Glycinate (90 capsules, so a proper supply rather than a taster), Momentous Ashwagandha, Kion Aminos, five AG1 sticks, a dozen LMNT electrolyte sachets, Artah Enhanced Nootropics, Omre NR + Resveratrol, Mindbyte Omega 3, Natroceutics Vitamin B Complex, Kiki Health Organic Black Seed Oil, an Ancient + Brave Discovery Pack and De-Liver-Ance shots for the morning after the office party.
Then it gets properly nerdy. H2Tab Molecular Hydrogen Tablets (lime flavour, drop one in water), What’s That Patch NAD+ Longevity Patches (transdermal, stick it on and get on with your day) and the Fatty15 90-Day Starter Kit, the C15:0 fatty acid supplement that has become something of a longevity-set obsession. A 90-day kit inside a 24-day calendar is a flex, and we respect it.
The skincare and body doors are where the beauty editors in the group chat will linger: Dr Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum (10ml), the Agent Nateur Trinity Set, Humanrace’s 7D Mystifying Gel Moisturiser, Salt & Stone Natural Deodorant in Saffron & Cedar, Monday Muse The Gloss Hair Oil (a full 50ml), Fierce Nature Magnesium Balm and a 5ml of Heretic Parfum’s Nosferatu, which is exactly the sort of fragrance you want to be wearing in December.
Food and drink rounds it out: Honestly Manuka 550+ MGO honey (250g, the real deal), Prima Bars, Kaicao Smashed Date Bars and Sweet Bee Organics Elderberry Elixir, which is essentially winter in a bottle.
The clever bit is that nothing in here is a mini for the sake of a mini. “To be listed on Healf, a product has to pass our rigorous three-step curation process. To make it into the Wellbeing Advent Calendar, it has to go one step further. It needs to be among the most exciting products in its category or an all-time cult classic. The result is a truly considered edit of the best in wellbeing, bringing together products that people will be genuinely excited to discover and want to keep in their routine long after the calendar is finished,” explains Healf’s Head of Curation, Julia Alsterberg.
The Claudia Schiffer Of It All
Claudia Schiffer is both an investor in Healf and its ambassador, and Healf says the calendar reflects her particular approach to wellbeing and considered living. Some of the products inside are, in her words, already non-negotiables.
“For me wellbeing is about discovery,” Schiffer said. “I love trying out the latest products in health and longevity and making small changes to find what makes me feel good. The Healf advent calendar is full of simple additions that can easily fit into my daily routine, whether that’s taking magnesium in the evening, Fatty15 supplements in the morning or adding a little Manuka honey to soothe a December throat ache.”

She added: “I am passionate about thoughtful curation from a trusted source like Healf because it helps to cut through the noise and introduce you to products and innovations that can genuinely benefit you. There are some incredible brands to discover in this advent calendar, some of which are already non-negotiables in my daily routine.”
Magnesium at night, Fatty15 in the morning, Manuka for the throat. If that’s the supermodel protocol, we’re willing to give it a try.
Who Should Buy It
It’s for the woman who already has a magnesium routine and wants to upgrade it, the friend who keeps saying they “should probably sort out their supplements”. It’s also a sneaky way to try eight brands you can’t currently buy anywhere else in the UK without committing to full-price bottles of each.
Healf has deliberately pitched it broader than the usual female-led beauty calendar market, with performance, recovery and skincare all in the same box, so it works as a genuinely unisex gift. The one caveat is the price: £349 is a considered purchase, not an impulse one. But against £1,005 of product, with the Fatty15 kit and the full-size Thorne magnesium alone doing a lot of the heavy lifting, the maths holds up better than most.
How To Get One
The Healf Advent Calendar 2026 is £349 and sold exclusively at healf.com. At the time of writing it’s on pre-order, starts shipping from 11 November, and the product page is already flagging only a few remaining of the 1,000 made. Given last year’s sold out well ahead of the holidays, we wouldn’t hang about.
Customers can also opt into daily door-reveal emails throughout December, one reveal a day from the brands inside, which is a nice touch if you’re the kind of person who likes to know what’s coming. If you’re not, maybe don’t tick that box.
Why we care: A wellness advent calendar is the new beauty advent calendar, and it’s a fun way to try new products. Healf has borrowed the format and filled it with the products the biohacking girls were buying anyway. Claudia Schiffer approved, group chat approved, and ours is already half empty.
