In 2025, Tieks by Gavrieli released their most magical blue box yet. The Tieks Holiday Gift Calendar promised to reveal 12 never-before-seen, hand-crafted Tieks treasures. In this post, I'll take you through each day of the 12-day Advent calendar.
My favorite ballet flats are Tieks. I've been wearing them for a decade and have amassed a collection that includes almost every pair. Check out my post about picking the perfect pair of Tieks if you want more details and photos.
Tieks Advent Calendar
On October 22, 2025, an email went out to Tieks subscribers detailing a special release. The luxury ballet flat brand, known for its signature blue bottoms, created a 12-day Advent calendar. The calendar was designed to be opened each day from December 13th to 24th. There was also an 8-day Hanukkah Calendar, also featuring 12 items.
How much did the Tieks Advent Calendar Cost?
The calendar was available for pre-order. Here is what the email said: "Discover the most magical Tieks Blue box yet. A festive vision of our Boutiek reveals 12 never-before-seen, hand-crafted Tieks treasures. Pre-order the limited edition Tieks Holiday Gift Calendar while supplies last." The cost was $795. Then, it would increase to $895 on November 3rd.
What was included with the Tieks Advent Calendar?
The contents of the calendar were meant to be a surprise, but Tieks gave us a sneak peek. The items included several small leather goods like wallets, keychains, and charms. Also promised within the calendar was a hidden key with an invitation to an exclusive shoe launch.
There was a lot of chatter about the cost of the box within the Tieks Anonymous Facebook group. Some felt like the brand had lost the plot in this economy, but others appreciated the excitement and magic around the holidays. There was also some confusion about whether the Holiday Calendar included a special pair of holiday Tieks or if it just gave you the ability to purchase the holiday pair. Tieks cleared that up in a follow-up email. They said there would be a Calendar-exclusive shoe included with each purchase. Then, it said buyers would also have access to "unlock the vault," which would give them access to previous limited-edition styles from the Tieks vault. As a die-hard Tieks fan, I ordered the calendar before the price increased.
Another email on November 1, 2025, revealed another surprise. Buyers would also have access to the "Muse Board." The Muse Board would help shape a new limited-edition style that they'd then have early pre-order access to.
Tieks Calendar Day 1
Day one of the Tieks Advent Calendar included a heart-shaped leather keyring. Each of the small leather goods included a Tieks dust bag for safekeeping. My keyring was Ballerina Pink, but there were a lot of different colors. Another fun fact about the Tieks Advent Calendar was that no two calendars would be the same since some items came in varying colors. There was a daily thread in the Tieks Anonymous Facebook group where people would post their items daily and compare colors.
Tieks Advent Calendar Hidden Key
Day one also included the hidden key. The tag attached read, "This key you've found is just the start of treasures past and dreams you'll chart. Come January, an email will share the path to wonders beyond compare."
Tieks Calendar Day 2
Day two of the Tieks calendar included an Apple AirTag holder. If you weren't familiar with Apple products, Tieks included a label on the back of each box detailing the contents. My holder came in Metallic Bronze.
Tieks Calendar Day 3
Day 3 of the Holiday Gifting Calendar was a Tiek Blue nail polish from Cote Beauty, which is a non-toxic brand.
Tieks Advent Calendar Day 4
Day 4 revealed a Tieks by Gavrieli purse hanger with an accompanying leather pouch for storage.
Tieks Advent Calendar Day 5
Day 5 included 10 individual leather cleaning wipes.
Tieks Calendar Day 6
The day 6 gift was a Matte Black and Tiek Blue key pouch. I've got a few of these from Louis Vuitton, and they are one of my most used small leather goods.
Tieks Advent Calendar Day 7
Day 7 was a mirror in the leather color Rosé
Here's another view of the Tieks mirror.
Tieks Calendar Day 8
Day 8 was a MagSafe Card Holder. From what I saw online, I think this were only made in Matte Black. Like the AirTag holder, this was hit or miss since not everyone uses Apple products.
Tieks Advent Calendar Day 9
Day 9 was a luggage tag. These were only made in Matte Black.
Tieks Calendar Day 10
Day 10 revealed a small Tieks ornament. At first, I thought it was ceramic or enameled, but it is actually a tiny Tieks box that opens.
Tieks Calendar Day 11
A Tieks bag charm was the day 11 gift. Mine was in the color Metallic Pewter.
Tieks Advent Calendar Day 12
The final day of the Tieks calendar was a travel jewelry case. My case was in the color Cool Grey.
So what do you think of the Tieks Holiday Gifting Calendar? Once I have more information about the limited-edition shoe included in the calendar, I will update this post. I'll also update with more details on the vault and the Muse Board once I have them.
