SKIMS Advent calendar sparks controversy

Kim Kardashian's SKIMS brand is offering refunds after facing intense backlash over its $148 Advent calendar. The calendar, which was meant to offer "twelve days of fun surprises," instead contained low-cost items like hair ties, keychains, and ornaments, leading social media users to express disappointment and frustration. One TikToker noted that the contents were similar to items often found at Dollar Tree, questioning their value given the high price tag. After videos mocking the calendar went viral, SKIMS acknowledged the complaints and personally contacted each customer to offer a full refund or credit toward other products. The company stated that for some customers, the Advent calendar did not meet expectations.
