Meghan Markle Sells Montecito‑Inspired Advent Calendar Through As Ever

A limited-edition Compartés collaboration links As Ever to the Sussexes’ Montecito home with sales restricted to the U.S.

Overview

  • As Ever opened limited pre-orders on Oct. 1 for a keepsake Advent calendar made with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés, priced at about $148 (£112) and scheduled for early-November delivery.
  • The box contains 24 handcrafted chocolates described as inspired by the Montecito garden, with flavors drawn from As Ever spreads and one piece topped with Meghan’s Flower Sprinkles.
  • Each chocolate and its countdown number are finished in Meghan Markle’s handwriting and hand-painted in edible gold luster, and the packaging features an illustrated depiction of the Montecito house and garden.
  • Meghan promoted the launch with throwback Instagram footage of ‘Christmas planning in June’ with Compartés’ creative lead Jonathan Grahm, and the partnership follows earlier As Ever x Compartés chocolate releases that sold out quickly.
  • Although the Sussexes moved back to the U.K. in August 2026, they are keeping their Montecito property, and the product reinforces As Ever’s California-rooted identity while limiting initial sales to U.S. customers.
