- Meghan Markle‘s lifestyle brand As ever opened preorders on Oct. 1 for a $148 advent calendar made with the Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés.
- It holds 24 handcrafted chocolates, numbered in Meghan’s handwriting in edible gold, in a box whose lid shows an illustration of her Montecito home and garden.
- Delivery is early November, in limited quantities, to the 50 US states only, and the brand sells it exclusively through its own website.
Meghan Markle has launched a holiday advent calendar with her brand As ever, and it is only for sale to US addresses. Preorders opened Thursday at 9 a.m. PT for $148, and the box arrives in early November.
What is in Meghan Markle’s advent calendar?
The calendar holds 24 handcrafted chocolates, one for each day. The flavors draw on As ever favorites: strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and orange marmalade spreads. One chocolate is finished with the brand’s Flower Sprinkles, and the set includes a dark chocolate ganache truffle from Compartés.
The brand says each number is “in Meghan’s personal penmanship,” done in edible gold luster.
Per the product page, the keepsake box is “inspired by Meghan’s Montecito home and garden.” The lid shows an illustration of a tile-roofed house with palm trees, a cobblestone path and chickens, and the text inside the box calls the 24 chocolates “thoughtfully inspired by our Montecito garden.”
How much does it cost, and when does it ship?
The price is $148, or about $6.17 a chocolate. The product page lists the box at 15 by 11¾ by 2 inches and about 12 ounces. Delivery is “early November.”
It ships to the 50 US states only, and ground shipping is free on orders over $50. The brand’s page says it contains soy lecithin and may contain raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.
The quantity is limited. A previous As ever and Compartés chocolate collection sold out in under an hour, according to the brand’s launch coverage.
Why does the box show Meghan’s Montecito home?
The box art and the “Montecito garden” wording come from the brand. The launch comes after the couple’s move to the UK, which we covered.
Meghan has shown a hand-lettered advent project before. In the trailer for her Netflix holiday special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, posted Nov. 19, 2025, she writes numbers by hand on fabric pouches, and two of the sets are labeled “Lili” and “Archie.” The special premiered Dec. 3.
Where can you buy it?
Only from the As ever website. The brand says it is “exclusively” sold there, so it will not appear at other stores, and it is for US delivery only.
