The controversy gained attention after a TikTok creator posted an unboxing video showing the contents of the 12-day calendar, including SKIMS-branded keychains, silk hair ties, hair pins, a squishy toy and Christmas ornaments. The video attracted more than 64 million views, with viewers questioning whether the selection of accessories offered enough value to justify the $148 price.
Responding to the complaints, representatives for SKIMS told Page Six that the company had taken customer feedback into account. They confirmed that every customer who purchased the calendar had been contacted and offered a full refund or $150 in store credit if they preferred to keep the calendar.

“We want every customer to be truly happy with what they receive from SKIMS,” the spokesperson said, adding that customer feedback would help shape the brand’s approach to future releases.
Despite the reaction online, SKIMS had described the package on its website as a 12-day collection of surprises, combining playful accessories with everyday items.
