Meghan Markle Launches $148 Advent Calendar Inspired By Her Home

Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, has released a $148 advent calendar in partnership with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. The calendar features 24 handcrafted chocolates averaging $6 each, with flavors including strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and orange marmalade — inspired by As Ever’s jam collection. Countdown numbers are hand-painted in edible gold, using Meghan’s own penmanship. The calendar goes on sale October 1. Notably, marketing materials reference the Sussexes’ Montecito mansion, despite Harry and Meghan relocating to Britain in August. The couple has not sold their $14.7 million California property, leaving open the possibility of a return for Christmas. The calendar costs $28 more than Compartés’ standard $120 advent range, though it remains far below some luxury alternatives priced at $385.
