For just $1.49 each, these Milk Chocolate Advent Calendars are the perfect treat for your little ones.

There’s truly a Christmas countdown treat for everyone in the family, two- or four-legged. Trader Joe’s Advent Calendar for Dogs ($8) “includes 24 days of single ingredient, freeze-dried treats made from tail-wag-inspiring chicken breast.”

“Peppermint oil imparts an invigorating scent and subtle cooling sensation, while pink, biodegradable jojoba beads make this Body Scrub look like a Candy Cane as much as it smells like one,” describes Trader Joe’s of the store’s new Candy Cane Body Scrub ($7).

Finish off your post-shower ritual with the complementary Shimmering Candy Cane Body Butter ($6). “The Candy Cane scent is wintry and invigorating, not overpowering, and the shimmer is soft and subtle, not garish or glittery,” Trader Joe’s says.

“This thick, clay-based, subtly minty mask is designed to calm the skin and delight the senses, while simultaneously extracting oils and impurities,” says Trader Joe’s. The $7 Pink Peppermint Face & Body Mask is infused with mineral-rich kaolin clay, peppermint leaf extract, Manuka honey, evening primrose, marula oil, and jojoba beads.

Rounding out the minty body-care items is this $3 Peppermint Foaming Hand Soap, which “contains a skin-soothing blend of peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, aloe leaf juice, & agave leaf extract.”

This holiday season, I’ve seen a lot of stores selling crooked The Grinch-style faux trees, most of which are bright green and a little garish. Trader Joe’s live Grump Tree ($10) is a more subtle take on the trend. It can be used as a table centerpiece or given as a fun white elephant gift.

Use this $9 Holiday Centerpiece Wreath on your front door or on a tabletop with candles in the center. It’s made of Noble Fir Boughs, “the longest lasting of any needled greenery,” along with pine cones and fragrant-smelling juniper.
