Kim Kardashian's Skims offers refunds for $148 advent calendar after backlash

Kim Kardashian's fashion brand, Skims, is offering full refunds or store credit after customers criticized its $148 (£110) 12-day accessories advent calendar on social media. The calendar, marketed as providing "twelve days of fun surprises," included items like hair ties, hair clips, keychains, and a compact mirror. Buyers and social media users questioned the quality and value of the products, describing them as underwhelming and repetitive.

A Skims spokesperson acknowledged the criticism, stating that they had personally contacted every customer to offer refunds or store credit. The company emphasized that for some, the calendar "didn't meet expectations." The calendar has become a subject of ridicule on TikTok, with users comparing the items to miscellaneous trash or asking if they justify the high price tag.
