## Summary

Skims has offered customers who bought its $148 Accessories Advent Calendar either a full refund or store credit after complaints that it did not justify its price. The company said it had listened to feedback and would use it to guide future releases.

The backlash followed a TikTok unboxing of the calendar’s 12 items, including hair accessories, keychains, a squishy and Christmas ornaments; the video has had more than 64 million views. Despite the criticism, the calendar has sold out and is on a waitlist. Skims describes it as a mix of playful items and everyday favourites.
