Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box Review May 2013

As always, Fancy shipped this box later than promised. Fancy has several celebrity curated boxes, and the newest is the Jennifer Love Hewitt box. May was its first month, though it arrived well within June. 

I don't think I've gotten a yellow Fancy box before.

Simple Wayfarer ($15) These are very low quality. I do like that they're nice and neutral. I also have a tendency to break or lose every pair of sunglasses ever, so I'm glad to have these for an occasion where I know I might not be as careful as I should be. (A beach trip, maybe?)

Bad to the Bone Turquoise Bracelet ($18) This bracelet is so not my style. Chunky, AND skulls? I'm not sure what to do with this, but I hate it.

Florescent Orange Cuffed Beanie ($20) I love beanies! I was surprised I never got one in any of my winter boxes. But now it's June, and June is NOT beanie season. I'm not sure what Jennifer Love Hewitt was thinking, but this was not a wise choice. Honestly, I don't think I can wear this during the winter either. It's really nice quality (made by American Apparel), but the color? I just can't pull it off. What would I wear it with? Hmm, I wonder if there's some way I could dye over the orange...or maybe I should just get into hunting.

Verse Headphones by Urban Beatz ($40) These absolutely made the box for me. I love the color. I don't have any decent over-the-ear headphones, so I'm thrilled to finally have a pair. They're pretty comfortable and the sound quality is actually pretty good.

Luckily, I got this box for about $6 (the box costs about $46 with shipping, but I had a $20 coupon code and a $20 voucher). I'm happy with what I got, but, really, I'll only be using the sunglasses and the headphones. Still well worth $6, but I'd never pay full price. I'll be canceling this subscription for now unless I see marked improvement or an awesome coupon code. To test it out for yourself, click here.

Fancy Box Review May 2013

I was charged for my second Fancy box before I got my first, so although I would have cancelled between the first and the second if given the chance, I was kind of forced into this second box. I loved the purple box it came in this time. So did Oliver!

I swear I post more photos of my cat than most people post of their kids, but whatever.

Micro-Suction Smartphone Stand ($15) I'm using this right now to prop up my smartphone by my bed, and it's handy that it actually has a "place," but other than that I'm not finding it terribly useful.

Mizu Water Bottle ($20) Water bottles are always nice, but I have a few already and I rarely use the ones I do have. Also, not a fan of having the logo on the bottle.

TKO Watch ($95) I can't find this exact watch on the website, but the price sticker says that it retails for $95. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of watches. This is a super cute watch though!

Height Chart Fridge Magnet ($10) This is cute, but I don't have any kids. Oh, well, I guess I'll save it for my next baby shower.

At over $140 value, this is a great box. Unfortunately, none of the items appeals to me much, even though I can see other people liking them. I guess I'm just not cut out for the Fancy box?

Fancy Box April 2013

My first Fancy box finally arrived today! I say finally because I ordered this box on March 18th. It was supposed to ship on April 15th, but didn't ship until the 22nd, then of course travel time, and now it's finally here. Unfortunately, I was already charged for my second box on April 18th, over ten days before I received my first order. Okay, rant over. Box time!

Definitely a fun looking box. The inside has popsicles all over it too.

Memo Mountain ($12) This is kind of cute. I didn't have "workspace" checked though, because office supplies are pretty boring. Yet I got this anyway. I'll use it though, so I'm happy with it.

NYC Rocks Glass ($12.50) I guess this is useful, but I don't have any interest in New York, and I prefer larger (and matching) glasses. Meh. It's kind of classy I guess.

Paper Watch ($11.55) So this is a digital watch you can decorate yourself. Of course, I don't wear watches and I'm not artistic. And even if I was, this isn't an appealing concept to me in the slightest. I think I need to find a kid to pawn this off on.

Rainbow Honey Nail Polish ($25) This includes a bottle of red nail polish, a bottle of black nail polish, and cuticle balm. I have more nail polish than I know what to do with, and red and black aren't exactly exciting shades since I already have lots of reds and I don't think there are too many variations on black.

So, this box was pretty much all a waste for me. Technically the box is valued at over $60, but I never would have purchased any of these items, which is the real test of value. Hopefully next month is a better one.

The box retails for $39.99, but if you're interested in starting a subscription, use the code "20OFF15" for $20 off your first box.
