Kim Kardashian's Skims Advent calendar, priced at £158, has drawn criticism after early unboxings revealed its 12-day contents, which some fans likened to sofa lint.
The festive product, featuring a design of deer, cats and bows that some called "so pretty," has been roasted by customers who found the items inside underwhelming for the price.
What's Inside the Calendar
TikTok creator Lesley, posting as @lesleyalj, shared a day-by-day breakdown of the calendar, which has 12 doors instead of the traditional 24. Day one contains a tartan teddy bear key ring; days two and three hold bobbles and scrunchies; day four has hair clips, with only two of the three featuring Skims branding.
Day five is an unidentifiable object bearing the word 'Skims,' and day six offers more clips, again only two with branding, in a different colour. Day seven is a Skims-branded comb, and day eight is a large red Skims keyring.
Day nine brings more scrunchies, and when Lesley's partner asked if they had the Skims logo, she said "no" and admitted she was "trying not to crash out." Day 10 is more clips, which her partner pointed out were "broken." Lesley said she had "no idea" what day 11's product is, appearing to be two bra straps, and day 12 is a furry flat keyring that may have been a mirror.
Online Reactions
In the comments, one person defended Skims, noting the website lists what customers get each day before purchase. Others said they preferred the surprise element, with one man writing: "As if a man is going to check that" before buying it for his partner.
Some were shocked the calendar had sold out, and others joked: "So this was £15, right?" In a separate post, someone compared the contents to lint found down the back of a sofa, with discarded clips, bobbles and scrunchies. A woman joked: "I can sell you the stuff my kids leave down the couch."
Skims was contacted for comment.
