From sticker sets to a plastic bracelet: We need to talk about Chanel's $1140 advent calendar.

Along with many other beauty brands this year, Chanel launched its first ever Christmas Advent calendar. 

And at... *checks notes*... $1,140 - it's probably as pricey as advent calendars get.

Made up of 27 boxes numbered from five to 31, the calendar marks the 100th anniversary of the iconic Chanel No. 5 perfume.

Sounds like a good (albeit expensive) time, right? But, friends - the Internet is not impressed. Like... people are very mad.

After purchasing the luxury advent calendar, TikTok user Elise Harmon posted a series of videos of herself opening and reviewing the content of the Chanel advent calendar boxes to see if it's worth the hype. 

Because if you're going to spend $1,140 on an advent calendar - you want to make sure it's going to be filled with some pretty good loot.

And while her initial impressions were pretty positive (some of the boxes contained full-sized beauty products, like Le Vernis Nail Lacquer, Rouge Allure lipstick and Chanel N°5 Eau de Parfum Spray), as the video continues, she's hit with... disappointment.

Watch: Speaking of beauty products... dirt build-up wreaking havoc in your makeup draw? Here's a quick fix. Post continues below.

As she opens box number nine, she finds a pack of ✨stickers✨, while box number eight contains a small jewellery-sized dust bag with nothing inside. 

"I can’t make this up. It’s just this bag. It’s just a dust bag,” Harmon said in the clip. 

"It’s a dust bag for your stickers obvi," one person commented.

Other noteworthy items included a black string bracelet with a plastic 'wax' seal branded with 'CC', a flip book, and... temporary tattoos. 

Thoughts and prayers.

The real kicker? According to Diet Prada, some of the items can be found on eBay, and appear to have been old "gift with purchase" freebies.

Worth the hype? Probably not but it is pretty

The unboxing clip has now gone viral, with more than 41 million views - and judging by the comments, many people are angry at the low-budget items being sold for $1,140.

In a follow-up video, Harmon's confirms that Chanel has now blocked her.
