We know, we know – the sun is (finally) shining, and the idea of tinsel, mince pies and wrapping paper feels like a distant dream. But we’re pressing pause on spring vibes for just a moment because something very exciting is happening in the world of Christmas countdowns.

Martha Brook – beloved by stationery lovers and organised queens everywhere – has just announced a 48-hour presale of their iconic 24 Days of Stationery Advent Calendar, and honestly, we’re already setting a reminder. It goes live at 5pm on Thursday 29th May, and trust us, if you want one, you’ll need to act fast.
We got our hands on this beauty last year, and let us tell you – it was love at first open-the-box. Every day in December brought a delightful piece of personalised stationery, tucked behind a stunningly illustrated book-style drawer. It was grown-up, magical, and just the kind of December joy we all needed.

It turns out, we weren’t the only ones obsessed. So much so, in fact, that the calendar became the subject of a global scam, with imitation versions flooding the internet and leaving real Martha Brook fans empty-handed and heartbroken. This year, they’re taking back control – and helping fans get ahead – by offering an exclusive 48-hour presale only to those signed up to their newsletter.
The 2025 design is still a closely guarded secret, but if it’s anything like last year’s Enchanted Woodland theme, we’re expecting something utterly swoon-worthy. Think intricate illustrations, warm festive hues, and that unmistakable Martha Brook magic.
At £109, it’s a treat-yourself moment – but with 24 beautiful, practical, and personalised items inside, it’s more than worth it for the stationery-obsessed (and for those of us who need a little sparkle to get through the winter gloom).
So yes, it might feel too early to talk Christmas – but this is your official permission slip to lean in. Because once December rolls around, you’ll be thrilled you thought ahead.
You can sign up for the presale access via the Martha Brook website, and then all that’s left is to count down the days to… the countdown.
