The design is "classic winter designs of colorful, beautifully wrapped presents", in Archer & Olive's words. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription box. ## What's in the 2026 advent box? **Archer & Olive names four gifts and keeps nine more as surprises.** The two notebooks come wrapped in paper and tied with a bow, so opening them feels like opening a present. | Item | What Archer & Olive says | |---|---| | 2 XL pocket notebooks | Vegan leather covers; 160 gsm "ultra-thick" pages that lie flat | | Scissors | 8-inch (203 mm), for trimming and scrapbooking | | Colored pencils | A set of 10, "rich, vibrant pigments" | | More gifts | "9 more festive journaling surprises" | | Days | 12 | | Item code / barcode | HAB026 / 810208873432 | | Price band | $$$$ (over $75) | ![Archer & Olive Paper Packages Advent Box 2026: 12 days, with 2 XL pocket notebooks, scissors and 10 colored pencils named and the rest surprises](https://stationerytimes.com/images/archer-and-olive-paper-packages-advent-box-contents.svg) *Twelve days, four named gifts. The order of days is ours, not Archer & Olive's.* Archer & Olive doesn't give the size of the XL pocket notebooks or the box, so our drawings are in proportion only. It says it will show the full contents on its YouTube channel. ## How good is the paper? **It's the same weight as Archer & Olive's full-size journals: 160 gsm.** That is twice the 80 gsm of a [Leuchtturm1917 A5](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/leuchtturm1917-a5-notebook/), Heavier paper usually resists bleed-through better, though we haven't tested this paper yet. Its [A5 dot grid notebook](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/archer-and-olive-a5-dot-grid-notebook/) uses the same 160 gsm paper. Archer & Olive says the advent notebooks also lie flat. ## How much is it, and is it still available? **It sits in our $$$$ band, over $75, and you can still preorder it until 11:59 pm on October 26, 2026.** Archer & Olive lists it at US$125. The ready-to-ship box sold out by October 22; on October 25 the page offered a "Preorder Only (Ships End of January)" option instead, so a preorder arrives after Christmas. Orders ship from Georgetown, Texas. Archer & Olive will replace a defective or missing item, but it won't refund the box once it has shipped. ## How does it compare with other 2026 advent calendars? **It's shorter and more journal-focused than the big pen and ink calendars.** Where those count down 24 or 25 days, this box covers 12, with notebooks and craft tools rather than pens and ink. | Calendar (2026) | Days | Focus | Price band | |---|---|---|---| | Archer & Olive Paper Packages Advent Box | 12 | Notebooks, scissors, colored pencils, journaling extras | $$$$ | | [Cult Pens Stationery Advent Calendar](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/cult-pens-stationery-advent-calendar-2026/) | 24 | Pens, pencils, ink, two notebooks, a fountain pen on day 24 | $$$$ | | [Diamine Inkvent Calendar](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/diamine-inkvent-calendar-2026/) | 25 | 25 new fountain pen inks | $$$$ | Pick this one if the person journals or scrapbooks more than they write with fountain pens. ## Who is it for? **Journalers and scrapbookers, especially those already using Archer & Olive's thick-paper notebooks.** The scissors and colored pencils point to decorating spreads more than to everyday writing. Stickers and washi tape for the same kind of gift are in our [journaling stickers and washi tape picks](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-journaling-stickers-and-washi-tape/), and other ideas in [stationery gifts for 2026](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-stationery-gifts-2026/). ## Where is it made? **Archer & Olive doesn't say.** Its listing names Georgetown, Texas, as where orders ship from. A Swedish retailer lists Archer & Olive's A5 notebooks as made in China, but we found no origin for the advent box or these pocket notebooks, so we list it as "Not stated". ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Archer & Olive advent box a subscription?
