Skims Offers Refunds After $150 Advent Calendar Sparks Backlash

Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand is offering full refunds after widespread backlash over its $150 holiday advent calendar. Customers were disappointed by contents including hair ties, bobby pins, bra straps used as headbands, keychains, and a furry pocket mirror. A TikTok video by user @wetsloppyswollen went viral, generating 65 million views in three days, showing her progressive disappointment with each item. A Skims representative told Entertainment Weekly the calendar “didn’t meet expectations,” adding the company has “personally contacted every customer” offering either a full refund or store credit. The rep stated “every customer’s feedback matters and will directly shape how we approach future releases.”
