The worst ever advent calendar?

[goose1964]

I think this beats the house of Fraser one from a few years ago

What atter crap, I think I woul hate the "bracelets" just as much as the stickers.
I don't really watch the "unpacking" YouTube videos ... but this one is worth 3 gold star stickers!!

Could someone link to the HoF thread, please? I can't find it again...

That is more than horrendous! It's like someone in the packing department had a load of shit made up and subbed them in to the boxes keeping the good stuff for themselves. That isn't worth even a fraction of the price.

Bloody heck, what were Chanel thinking?

Fast way to ruin your brand. I love Chanel perfume because the quality is so good, but this is just a load of old tat I wouldn’t want, even if I was given it for free!

They need to sack whoever came up with this, I would be fuming if I paid that and got loads of crappy stickers.

What person that can afford a £600 advent calendar wants stickers and tacky bracelets?! Erghhhh

It is literally the free stuff you get given by the salespeople when you buy a beauty product, but they have put a load of it together and are charging $800

It is literally insulting to anyone who is a regular customer of theirs (because they will already have most of it). Honestly there is less stuff in it than there is in a Clinique “buy two products and get a few bag of samples” offer.

What idiot signed that creation off

Wow that’s fucking outrageous.

It's contemptuous. And looks very much like they believe their customers are silly little women who don't know what items are worth. That tiny sample of body cream! That's a free sample with purchase! And it wouldn't do one body. And that's one of the 'products'.

At least perfume has some expensive ingredients, although the mark up is eye-watering. The bracelets and stickers costs pennies. Literally pennies.

I imagine this is often bought as a present. Which mean having to pretend to your DH you actually like the stickers. When you open the box of disappointment.

This has to be a contender for the worst ever

😂
These videos are so funny.

Does anyone else loathe the word “unboxing”?

If Marie Antoinette were ever to choose a 2021 advent hobby, it would be 'unboxing' this crock of tat .

These expensive beauty advent calendars all seem to be a rip off. This one has taken it to a whole new level. Yet year on year people still buy them. The Sephora calendar is legendary for how trashy it is in American. Nowhere near this expensive though.
Just get a chocolate calendar. Or nice box of chocolates with at least 24 in the box.

A fool and their money….

Wow, that QVC one is shiiiiite too! (Apart from Sunday Reilly Good Genes, which was a real cult beauty thing a few years ago).

Only one review on the Chanel site which gets over 800 dislikes!
