Skims is offering full refunds or store credit to customers who bought its $148 (£110) advent calendar after criticism online of the items inside, including hair clips and keychains.
A company spokesperson said the calendar had not met expectations for some customers and that Skims had contacted every buyer to offer a refund or credit towards other products. The BBC said it had contacted the company for comment.
The calendar promised “twelve days of fun surprises”. Social media users mocked its contents, with some comparing them to odds and ends found around the home. One TikTok account likened the items to things its cat collected; another said they looked like objects Kardashian had cleared from her bedside table.
Skims, the shapewear and clothing company co-founded by Kardashian in 2019, was valued at $5bn in 2025 when it raised new funding. Forbes has reported that the business made Kardashian a billionaire.
