We want every customer to be truly happy with what they receive from SKIMS. Their feedback matters to us and will directly shape how we approach future releases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>So what\u2019s inside the SKIMS advent calendar?<\/h2>\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><br \/>\nAccording 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>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><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates
