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

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

The contents of the calendar, including hair clips and keychains, have been widely criticised on social media.

Kim Kardashian's Skims is offering customers refunds for its $148 (£110) advent calendar which has been widely criticised on social media.

The accessories advent calendar promised "twelve days of fun surprises" but has been mocked online for the quality of its contents, such as hair clips and keychains, with some comparing them to something you would find down the back of a sofa.

A spokesperson for Skims has told a number of media outlets "for some, the calendar didn't meet expectations" and the company has "personally contacted every customer" to offer a full refund or credit to put towards other products".

The shapewear and clothing business was co-founder by Kardashian in 2019 and has made the reality TV star a billionaire, according to Forbes magazine.

Skims was valued at $5bn in 2025 when it raised millions of dollars in new funding.
