Sugg attracted criticism from the media in November 2017 after releasing a 12-door £50 advent calendar, with the "extortionate price" and alleged poor quality receiving attention. The calendar contained items such as a small pack of confetti, a packet of seven stickers, and cookie cutters. A spokesperson for Sugg said, "Zoe is incredibly proud of the Christmas collection and excited to see it in store. However, the pricing and in-store promotional strategy of the collection, including the calendar, is at the control of third parties and is not set by Zoe."{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/boots-zoella-advent-calender-price-cut-half-12-door-youtube-star-fans-criticism-a8056006.html|title=BOOTS CUTS PRICE OF ZOELLA'S £50 12-DOOR ADVENT CALENDAR IN HALF AFTER YOUTUBE STAR FACES HEAVY CRITICISM|last=Oppenheim|first=Maya|date=15 November 2017|work=The Independent|access-date=16 November 2017|location=London|archive-date=15 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115164842/http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/boots-zoella-advent-calender-price-cut-half-12-door-youtube-star-fans-criticism-a8056006.html|url-status=live}}

Also in November 2017, Sugg apologised following controversy surrounding posts she had made on social media between 2009 and 2012 mocking gay people and "fat chavs". She responded on Twitter, claiming the posts had been "taken out of context" and writing, "I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, that was not my intention."{{cite news|url=https://www.nme.com/news/zoella-under-fire-fans-criticism-old-tweets-2159582|title=YouTuber Zoella responds to backlash over old tweets about gay people and "fat chavs"|last=Moore|first=Sam|date=15 November 2017|work=NME|access-date=16 November 2017|location=London|archive-date=15 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115193349/http://www.nme.com/news/zoella-under-fire-fans-criticism-old-tweets-2159582|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41998691|title=YouTuber Zoella apologises for old offensive tweets|author=|date=15 November 2017|work=BBC News|access-date=16 November 2017|location=London|archive-date=16 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116033131/http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41998691|url-status=live}}
