I have been waiting for the Tyler Florence Fancy Box for what seems like forever and it finally arrived today! I don’t know what it is with Fancy Box and their celebrity curated boxes, but they always seem to be behind. It makes no sense to me, but whatever.
As always, I LOVE the Fancy Boxes. Is it weird that I get excited to see what color they will send me? So far I have seen green, blue and red (my favorite). Are there any others?
I totally peeked at some spoilers yesterday, but I was still very excited to open my box and check everything out. And I think Tyler Florence is hot.
Just like I love Fancy’s boxes, I also love their information cards. The back has notes from Tyler Florence describing the products and why he enjoys them. I also noticed that he has an actual account on Fancy, so it makes me feel like he really did have curate this box as opposed to one of his people.
~Tyler Florence Fresh ($35): I know it’s valued at like $20 on Amazon, but this is a SIGNED copy of his book!!!! He offers signed books on his website for $35, so $35 it is for this! I do not own any of his books and browsed through this a little and it looks great. The idea is to use easy-to-find ingredients to work together in unexpected ways (i.e. fresh basil makes for a delicious ice cream paired with honey, balsamic vinegar, and sliced figs). B is going to love this even more than I do and I can’t wait to see what he makes first from it. And the fact that it’s signed (maybe that’s why the box was delayed) makes it even cooler!
~DCI Meat Tenderizer ($10): I don’t know that I have thought wow, I need to pound my meat (LOL), but then again I don’t even really cook so what do I know? Hopefully one of the recipes in Tyler’s book calls for pounded meat because this looks super fun!
~Pluck Sunny Side Out by Quirky ($12.99): It took me a minute to figure out exactly what this was for, but basically, it’s used to pluck the yolk out of an egg! I am testing this out tonight when B gets home (he’ll want to play too). B’s mom brought us a bunch of farm fresh eggs, so we have plenty to experiment with. As a side note, the eggs are different colors. Brown, blue, green, etc. Being the non-farm girl I am, I immediately asked if the chickens were special colors as well. They are not ;).
~SPARQ Whiskey Stones ($19.50): I don’t think you can go wrong with whiskey stones can you? They are made from soapstone and can be used for whiskey, coffee or even wine. Can wait for that bottle to chill? Now you don’t have too!! Love it!
All totaled, I came up with a value of $77.49 for the April Tyler Florence Fancy Box! I used a $25 off coupon to buy the box, so I paid only $21.95, which is a complete steal! I’m not 100% sure I would ever pay $46.95 for a Fancy Box, but they always have coupons, so you really don’t have too!
Did you get a Tyler Florence Fancy Box? What’d you think of the box? Thinking of ordering? Click here and get on it! Right now you can use the code: “20OFF14” to save $20 on your first box! I used it last night to order next month’s box! If you can’t find the Fancy Box you are looking for, I suggest just doing search for “Fancy Box“. It’s much easier than trying to navigate their site!
This is the first fancy box that I decided to go with, and I’m super excited to get this!
I got the regular fancy box and didn’t like anything but the tshirt. I’ve been trying to give away the citrus water bottle and alarm clock and no one wants it. Will probably have to donate them. The whiskey stones are ok and the cookbook is great because it’s usable, but I think the rest of it is just junk (in my opinion).
I opted for the regular food box, but still haven’t received it. They seem to be running late for all of the boxes. 🙁
So if I ever have another baby I’m getting that egg separator….you know how hard it is and how long I spent to just get the yolk!! Love it!
You can buy the Tyler Florence fancy box for just one month? I was reluctant to sign up because I thought it was a monthly subscription and knew I would get sucked into paying the full freight every month!
I think Tyler Florence is hot too! Question – how are you using the coupon if you are already a subscriber? I really want to subscribe to this box, but there’s no way I can pay 46 dollars for this box on a regular basis.
His choices were great and you can definitely tell he was involved (all the way down to the signed book…nice!) I should have went with my gut…I totally need a meat tenderizer and that egg seperator would give me so much more egg lol you waste some when you do it the old fashioned way. Love this box 🙂
I can totally hear some guy saying ” I have some meat you can pound.” LOL N just asked me what was so funny I’m laughing so hard. 🙂
I’ve been waiting to see reviews of the TF box before buying. I’m not totally sold yet and will likely wait a couple more months to see what he comes out with. Also surprised another box has come out with less than the promised $80 value.
Side note – I just subscribed to my first Fancy Box yesterday – the Coco Rocha one – using the promo code. From what I understand, it’s a month-to-month sub so my first box is $20 off and my next one will be regular price. I need to learn your secrets. How are you able to use the promo code on next month’s TF box if you are already subscribed? Do you cancel your sub after the first billing then re-sub when a new promo code comes out, or is there an easier way? I’d rather pay less if there’s a way!
This is a great box! I want a sunny side out! The crazy part about it costing $12.99 is that you can do it with an empty water bottle. I’m still going to buy it!
Um..yes. Tyler Florence is super hot…especially with that beard he’s rocking. The box is worth it just because of the signed book!
I love your site and ordered my first two Fancy boxes (Fancy Food and Tyler Florence) because of you. Curious — can you tell me how you were able to use the code for the following month’s box? Do you cancel your subscription and then resub using the code? Thanks!
I subscribed to the regular fancy box and also the Ashton Kutcher A+ fancy box. I am hoping one is way better than the other so I can cancel one subscription. I am slowly cancelling the underwhelming boxes I am receiving. April was my first month and so far out of the 7 maybe that I have gotten I am only keeping 2. (Birchbox and popsugar). The problem is for everyone I unsubscribe to I find another one I want. The popsugar box wasn’t the best, so I am going to give it another month.
Have you heard anything about the Ashton Kutcher box?
Have you gotten the may box yet? It’s the end of the month and I still haven’t gotten it
yet, so just wondering if its just me.
@Rei: I was worried too but I JUST got mine today and it is really great imo:-)
