The brand\u2019s 2026 Accessories Advent Calendar is a 12-day calendar priced at \u00a3158 \/ $150, and it dropped as part of the SKIMS holiday shop, which launched on Thursday, October 29. On paper, it sounds cute. SKIMS describes it as featuring twelve days of fun surprises, from hair accessories to keychains. But now that people have seen what\u2019s actually behind each door, they\u2019re not convinced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height: 500px;\" data-embed-height=\"740\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/popculturechat\/comments\/1xmkf22\/a_user_on_tiktok_shared_what_they_got_in_their\/\">A user on TikTok shared what they got in their $150 (yes, that\u2019s right) SKIMS advent calendar<\/a><br \/>\nby<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/bbyxmadi\/\">u\/bbyxmadi<\/a> in<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/popculturechat\/\">popculturechat<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>So what&#8217;s inside the SKIMS advent calendar?<\/h2>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/skims.com\/en-gb\/products\/accessories-advent-calendar-holiday-essentials\">SKIMS website<\/a>, here\u2019s what you get:<\/p>\n<p>Day 1: Bear keychain<br \/>\nDay 2: 3-pack hair elastic<br \/>\nDay 3: 3-pack \u201cstain\u201d scrunchie<br \/>\nDay 4: 3-pack bobby pin<br \/>\nDay 5: SKIMS squishy<br \/>\nDay 6: 2-pack clips<br \/>\nDay 7: 2-pack bra elastic headband<br \/>\nDay 8: 3-pack \u201cbobby pink\u201d<br \/>\nDay 9: Comb keychain<br \/>\nDay 10: Logo keychain<br \/>\nDay 11: 3-pack satin scrunchie<br \/>\nDay 12: Faux fur compact mirror keychain<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s four keychains, two lots of bobby pins and a stress toy, for $148. And unlike the brand\u2019s $450 Panty Advent Calendar, there\u2019s not a single piece of actual SKIMS clothing in sight.<\/p>\n<p>After one person picked up the calendar, Reddit had a lot to say about it. \u201cNot even a full pack of plain hair ties is taking me OUT,\u201d one person wrote. Another said: \u201cWow, I haven\u2019t seen bra strap headbands since I was in middle school. Can\u2019t believe someone paid $150 for a collection of things you could\u2019ve found at the bottom of my school backpack in 1999.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And one person had a more direct message for shoppers: \u201cStop f**king giving the Kardashians money what is wrong with y\u2019all.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>So does it actually save you money?<\/h2>\n<p>SKIMS hasn\u2019t said what the contents are worth, and most of the items aren\u2019t sold separately, so it\u2019s hard to put an exact number on it.<\/p>\n<p>But if you go by SKIMS\u2019 own prices, you\u2019re paying a lot for very basic bits. On the SKIMS site, a satin and velour scrunchie 2-pack is listed at $24, a micro fiber scrunchie 2-pack at $18, and a silicone case keychain at $12. By that logic, the calendar might roughly work out to what you\u2019d pay buying SKIMS accessories separately.<\/p>\n<p>The catch is that this only works if you think two scrunchies are worth $24 in the first place. On the high street, you can pick up a Kitsch five-piece set of satin sleep scrunchies for $7.94 at Walmart, and similar bear keychains are widely available for under $10. Buy the non-SKIMS version of everything in the calendar and you\u2019d likely spend a small fraction of $148.<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates
