In this video, I’m doing a full-on War of the Advent Aesthetics—because I could not have picked two more different vibes if I tried. This is my last haul of the year, and I kept it to just two 2025 planner advents: the 12 Days of Simply Gilded (timestamp 1:50) and the MushieWorks Emo Christmas boxes (timestamp 27:37). If you love fantasy planner journaling the way I do—where the spread is cute but still has to function in real life—this is the kind of unboxing that helps you figure out what’s actually worth it for your planning style. I’m comparing the overall feel, the “who is this for?” factor, and how each advent fits into my vintage Victorian / fairycore world versus a moodier, alt holiday aesthetic. I also share my honest reactions as I open everything—no sponsorship, I bought it all myself—so you’re getting my real take on what feels usable, what feels like a collector moment, and what would actually make it into my regular rotation of stickers, washi, and journaling supplies. If you’re deciding between soft luxe and emo festive chaos, I’ve got you covered.
