AIDA: Fan unpacks 139 euro Advent calendar and is disappointed

Hamburg – Feel free to read on, the following spoilers are more likely to disappoint according to customers. The out-of-stock Aida Advent calendar at 139 euros was a failure for many buyers. “Trash” or “ultimate trash” is a very bad punishment.

This has been going on for a few days now Advent Calendar sent. Conclusion of most customers: “Klimbim” instead of cruiser luck.

What’s on the Advent calendar

Starting with liquid soap which customers also use to wash their hands on planes. Followed by two Aida kissing mouth gimmicks in promotional gift quality (glass rope, safety pin). It remains to be seen whether foodies will enjoy the next curry powder according to “Aida’s secret recipe”.

Possible anger over another mouth kiss (this time a keychain) and four mini plastic Christmas balls (A, I, D, A) can at least be washed down with the booze behind door 7. The suitcase trailer behind door 8 receives a tired “Oh.”

Vouchers are only valid for a short time

The ten euro voucher for a travel film is only valid until next June. Potential Crusaders So you have to order quickly and then want to buy the film (it costs 39 to 179 euros). For beach leave, followed by shoelaces (with kissing mouths of course), bracelets, and the next keychain (this time with ribbon). With the next voucher (15 percent in the online shop), Aida clearly intends to boost her Christmas business. Only valid until January 2026.

With chocolate, schnapps, a third key chain, body lotion and a bar of soap, we continued through Advent. By gate 19 at the latest, you’ll probably lose interest in the anticipation. There is a fourth (!) Aida keychain. And nothing could be better: after socks, straws, more chocolate and more spices, it was finally over Christmas. Aida’s four mini ducks can be under the Christmas tree.

Buyers are not satisfied with the price and contents

The comments under the YouTube unboxing video are also terrible:

“What rubbish,” it read.
One user argued that 139 euros for the calendar was unjustified: “A calendar full of promotional items that you actually get for free as a gift.”
Someone who didn’t get it was happy: “Now I’m glad I didn’t buy it.”
Other users called the contents of the calendar “garbage”, “garbage” or “garbage”, the value of which Aida herself stated was 180 euros.

This is what Aida expressed regarding this criticism

BILD asked Aida about the contents of the calendar and buyers’ reactions. A spokesperson said in writing: “There are differences of opinion in our calendar. We respect them, of course.” The value of the contents is “25 percent higher than the selling price.” He also said: “This calendar was created for the Aida community. So it’s a fan article, which is why a lot of the content has the Aida logo in it.”

The 2026 Advent Calendar can currently be pre-ordered on the fleet homepage – for 139 euros. According to a spokesperson, there have already been more than 1,000 pre-orders.
