Kim Kardashian faces furious backlash as shoppers demand refunds over $148 advent calendar

SKIMS is offering refunds or store credit after shoppers criticised its $148 advent calendar for containing accessories they considered poor value. The backlash spread through viral unboxing videos and social media posts, with some customers saying they expected clothing from the brand.

The 12-day calendar contained items including hair ties, scrunchies, clips, bobby pins, key chains and a compact mirror, all listed in the product description. SKIMS said it had contacted every purchaser with the choice of a full refund or credit, and that feedback would inform future releases.
