Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS is refunding customers who criticized the company for selling a $148 Advent calendar that many found extremely underwhelming.
Plenty of shoppers bought the pricey countdown-to-Christmas calendar, only to find it stocked with items like hair ties and SKIMS-branded bobby pins.

Several took to social media to complain, calling it a waste of money and the “worst advent calendar ever.” One person even compared its contents to the clutter women find at the bottom of their purses.
SKIMS appears to have gotten the message. A company rep told TODAY that executives are aware of the feedback and are now offering refunds after reaching out personally to the unhappy customers. The spokesperson also acknowledged that the calendar didn’t meet expectations for some buyers and asked for more feedback going forward, saying it will directly shape how the company approaches future releases.
