B&M's gin advent calendar is back for Christmas 2019 and it's even bigger and better

Gin lovers rejoice because budget retailer B&M is bringing back its gin advent calendar for Christmas 2019.

It may be August but eager shoppers can now buy the calendar, which retails for £34.99, in stores nationwide.

This year the calendar features 12 bottles of great tasting gins along with 12 different bottles of tonic water to enjoy them with.

Popular tipples from Bombay Sapphire and Gordon’s Pink Gin will feature behind one of the 12 doors along with premium tonics from Franklin & Sons and other top brands.

The calendar is a fraction of the cost of rival gin advents currently available on the market, so if you're looking for a boozy calendar to buy that won't burn a hole in your pocket this is a great option.

Cash and carry retailer Costco revealed its own gin advent calendar recently, but it’ll set you back a whopping £59.89 – that's £24.90 more expensive than B&M's and you don’t get any mixers. However, the calendar does feature 24 miniatures instead of 12.

Another option we've spotted available to pre-order is That Boutique-y Gin Company Advent Calendar from Masters of Malt, which will set you back £49.95. The calendar features 24 wax-sealed 30ml drams of premium gins from around the world. But it's still £15 more expensive than B&M's version.

Judging by last year's response, the limited stock of B&M's gin advent won't stay on the shelves for long. The calendar was so popular shoppers took to social media in their droves to rave about it.

One fan on Twitter wrote:" I neeed the gin advent calendar from b&m".

Another exclaimed, "Hold my gin. Off to B&M" along with a picture of the calendars stacked up in store.

While another Twitter user shared a picture along with the message: "I have THEE best friend anyone could ask for. She knows me SO well. Lou just sent me this. I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. (£29.99 from b&m if any one needs one in their life too!)"
