Kim Kardashian's Skims is offering customers refunds for its $148 (£110) advent calendar which has been widely criticised on social media.
The accessories advent calendar promised "twelve days of fun surprises" but has been mocked online for the quality of its contents, such as hair clips and keychains, with some comparing them to something you would find down the back of a sofa.
A spokesperson for Skims has told a number of media outlets "for some, the calendar didn't meet expectations" and the company has "personally contacted every customer" to offer a full refund or credit to put towards other products".
The BBC has contacted Skims for comment.
The shapewear and clothing business was co-founder by Kardashian in 2019 and has made the reality TV star a billionaire, according to Forbes magazine.
Skims was valued at $5bn in 2025 when it raised millions of dollars in new funding.
One account on TikTok called spicychathouse compared the contents of the calendar to things "my cat collects from around my house". Another account said it looked like "a bunch of stuff that Kim Kardashian was emptying out of her bedside table".
A number of accounts showed people cleaning out their own sofas and claiming they had accidentally created the Skims advent calendar.
