My LONG awaited May Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box finally arrived today! I ordered back on May 2nd (for real) and had hoped that I actually would receive it in May. It was not to be though. I don’t know what it is about these celebrity curated boxes, but Fancy seems to get off to a rough start with them. P!nk was super late. Coco Rocha was late. Tyler Florence was late. If it really annoyed me, I’d just cancel, but I’ve kind of just started to expect it to tell you the truth. That way I don’t get all fired up about it anymore.
I got a shipping notice on this box (and my Coco Rocha one) earlier this afternoon, but I tracked it by reference yesterday (your order number is your reference number on FedEx), so I already knew it was coming today. My (May) Coco Rocha box this way and learned that it’s set to arrive Saturday ;). Fancy Box ships via FedEx Ground which I love. If PopSugar shipped that way, I’d have my box by now. Just saying. And yes, I am quite pleased I got the yellow box. I’ve been wanting the yellow one.
I had checked out the spoilers on MUT (I love me some MUT), but seeing it in person is always better. Always! Although I was kind of surprised to see how empty the box was. I knew was was in it and what the size of the box was, so I guess I could have figured it out, but still.
I was pleased to see the special JLH information cards and loved reading her reasons for selecting the pieces and seeing why she loved the pieces. I have loved JLH for ages so I HAD to get this box. She seems so down to earth and so real. I can relate to her totally and figured she’d do pretty well putting a box together.
Here’s what it included:
~Verse Headphones by Urban Beatz ($29.99): I’m not sure about these. On one hand, I never use headphones like these. On the other hand, maybe that’s because I don’t have headphones like these? I’m not sure? B has some noise canceling ones and uses them all the time. We’ll see about these. I do think they are cute though.
~Simple Wayfarer by Free Clothing Co. ($9.99): While these are a totally classic style, I have none like them at all. I’m going to leave these in the car or my diaper bag (which I rarely carry but when I do I will be in total need of some sunglasses) so I always always always have a pair of sunglasses. I need them everywhere and will NOT leave the house without them. Ever. And since B now just gives me the look when I want to buy a pair (*), I need to rely on my subscription boxes for them!
~American Apparel Fluorescent Orange Cuffed Beanie ($20): When I first saw the spoilers on this, I thought it said “beret”. I was like NO WAY. Luckily I totally read that wrong and it was a BEANIE. Ha! While I can’t pull off a hat quite like JLH (those used to be my initials by the way), I don’t care and will totally wear this hat. And the brighter the better really. But it would have been a better fit for a winter box. It’s summer. Who is wearing a beanie?
~Katie Dean Jewelry Turquoise Bad to the Bone Bracelet ($25): I totally love this (although it’s not something I would pick out on my own) and can’t wait to wear it. It can come to my arm party any day of the week.
All totaled, I came up with a value of $84.98 for the May Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box. Would I have paid $84.98 for the box? No. Or even the $46.95 cost of the box? Meh. Probably not. But luckily I used a coupon code when I subscribed and only only paid $26.95. Totally worth it I think. And since they already charged me for June, it looks like I still be sticking around long enough to check that one out as well!
Did you get a Jennifer Love Hewitt Fancy Box? What’d you think of the box? Thinking of ordering? Click here and get on it! I STILL can’t find any coupon codes (come on already Fancy and release one), but I will let you know if I hear of any. Oh, and 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!
AHHHH I looked damn! LOL! Mine will get here while Im gone so this makes me happy to see what I will have to wait for!
Lynz
The hat reminds me of Amanda Bynes! Lol.
@Kristin Lockwood: HAHAHAHAHAHA I’m dying over here! SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the headphones in Fluorescent Pink. 🙂 Hayden likes the Hat! I’m torn in the bracelet. I’m kinda not into Skulls for myself – liking more sentimental stuff at the moment.
I don’t use headphones either but everyone says I should have some. We shall see. My initals where all around that. I was JKH and now I’m JKL just like the alphabet and yes my brother called me one day after I got married to tell me this. LOL gotta love brothers.
I received my coco box today. It’s a complete let down for me. I canceled. After seeing your post I am cancelling the JLH box too.
Haha your disclaimers kill me… Shark tank is on but sadly it’s a repeat 🙁
I got mine today as well. I am actually using the headphones on my PC at the moment. They are not to bad. I may even try to use them with my iPad. The apple ear buds tend to fall out frequently. The glasses are going to be tossed in my car and used when I forget to bring my nicer ones. The bracelet is different, not sure I can pull it off, but I am going to try. The beanie on the other hand is going in my winter basket. While I was happy with the box, I am not so jazzed with Fancy’s lack of communication. I am not sure if I am going to subscribe again. I love JLH, but not sure I want to deal with Fancy’s crazy shipping. Going to see what the next box brings.
Love the bracelet, as I didn’t even notice the skulls at first. Awesome!
I got my box yesterday also. I thought it was just OK, so am considering canceling. I’m glad I used a coupon code & only paid $26.95.
Argh. I think this box is pretty terrible for the price…. Fancy looks consistently unappealing to me!
My husband definitely has several of those beanies for hunting. From Gander Mountain. For $5! Seriously, if you take the logo off it, it’s exactly the same. I could never see that on someone and not think it’s hunting gear.
Just got mine, and I got the teal headphones as well! I was hoping for the teal ones, I received the same pair in orange in a regular Fancy Box from back in December. My boyfriend always tries to steal them from me, now at least we have two, and I have my favorite color… Even though I STILL don’t want to let him have the orange ones 🙂
I was surprised how light the box was when I picked it up. At first I thought all that was in it were giant bits of packing paper! I am SO disappointed about the damn beanie! Yes JLH can rock those things like no one else, however, us short haired ladies…yeah JLH we don’t all have hair that works with such hats…I look ridiculous. For real. OR like I should be working construction. The glasses…are so cheap!!! The plastic baggy they came in…is what plastic silverware from fast foot places come in! The bracelet is pretty but not my style. The headphones are pretty cool but I don’t use them…and they are hot pink. Yikes. I do appreciate the little cards though with her reasoning…but that’s about it. So sad about it. I’m sure it’ll get better as it goes but until I see some worth while boxes…I cancelled.
That wasn’t supposed to sound as whiny as it did! Whoops.
Just got mine today (purple box , since I know you love the boxes) I got the same color headphones as you , I have never used them before but we have been talking about getting me some so perfect timing and they are super cute, the bracelet I haven’t decided if I like it or not…I know if I decide it’s not for me one of my girls will be all over it though, the glasses are fine, not great, but I wear prescription sun glasses so can’t use them anyway…the ski cap thingie…not for me… I like in Texas and can’t imagine needing this in summer or more than a couple days a year actually (actually so does JLH lives in TX as well, so I really don’t get this pic..but she can rock the look and I don’t think I can)
According to Fedex my box arrived yesterday, but I won’t be able to officially open it until I return home. I was overall disappointed by what I see here…where I live that hat in a blazing orange color is only fashionable during hunting season and my family doesn’t hunt. The bracelet isn’t my style. Maybe my opinion will change when I see it in person. I wear the cheap sunglasses, but would have loved if they were official ray-ban wayfarers. These will probably last a couple months in my purse before breaking…
The only thing of potential for me in this box is the headphones, BUT I’m hearing impaired, so if they don’t fit over my hearing aids or if my hearing aids make a squealing noise while wearing them, I simply won’t be able to use them. This is also assuming I got the teal pair and not the hot pink. I wish Fancy wouldn’t send out hot pink items! Not every girl likes hot pink and sometimes men subscribe to these boxes as well. Fancy could at least allow us to specify no hot pink items, like one can with the regular fancy box. I also wish Fancy would fix the duplicate item issue. To my understanding, these headphones were already in the early regular fancy box, so those who have been subscribing from the beginning already have them. While this doesn’t apply to me in this particular instance, it has happened before and this is definitely an issue Fancy needs to address in my opinion.
Luckily I used a coupon on this box, so I only paid $26.95, so if I received the headphones in teal and they work well with my hearing aids, that’s the price of the box right there. If not, I wasted $26.95, but that’s better than wasting $46.95. In my experience with Fancy the first box is always sub-par, but they improve with each box. Hopefully that will be the case here. Fancy already charged me for the second box, so I will have to stick around, but if the next box is the same quality as this one, I might have to consider cancelling.
A ha! This is like the 3rd time I have gone to the Fancy site looking for the subscription boxes and unable to find them… but this time I found them! Yay me! So there are like 6 or 8 or something different boxes to pick from… so does this mean if I were to say pick the Ashton Kutcher box, every month it will be that one? This is the first time I have seen the JLH box on here. Will you now get one every month? (Unless you cancel?) So really, if I just had just tons of money, I could get like 6 different “Fancy boxes” a month???? I’m easily confused :-p
