Fancy Mystery Box
Cost: $17.95 (one time purchase) ($10 + $7.95 shipping).
Ships To: Worldwide. Additional shipping costs apply to shipments outside of the US.
I reported on my Women’s Fancy Box yesterday (you can read that review here) and now it’s time for the Men’s Mystery Box review! Like I said yesterday, when these went on sale at Fancy I snatched them up right away. They a pure grab bag. You really never know what Fancy will send!
If you aren’t familiar with Fancy, they offer a regular monthly Fancy Box full of cool goodies or celebrity curated boxes which include a collection of the coolest products hand-picked by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Verbal, Kelly Rowland, Coco Rocha and / or Tyler Florence. They also offer a Fancy Food Box (which is one of my favorites). Boxes are $39 (plus shipping). This box, however, was only $10 (plus shipping) and promised to contain $30+ retail value worth of goods.
The Mystery Fancy Box ships via FedEx and, like most all of my Fancy boxes do, took two days to arrive to me. They ship from NY and I am in MI so I never have to wait too long.
The first look was a mixed bag. I wasn’t immediately wowed like I was with the Women’s box, but I wasn’t totally disappointed either. The Fancy Mystery Box does not come with any information cards, but this is what was included:
~Joseph Joseph Nest Cups ($10): I can’t really explain why, but I do quite like these. I have a million sets of measuring cups, but I think these will be great for the kids to play with in the sandbox this summer or with our indoor play sand right now.
~Richer Poorer Socks ($12): The socks are a win and B will use these more than anything else in the box. I should mention that he has a few pairs from this brand already and they hold up quite well in the wash.
~High Line: The Inside Story of NYC”s Park in the Sky Book ($20): This book is the story of two people who, with no previous urban planning experience, created one of the most innovative urban reclamation projects in memory. I’m not sure what I will do with this book. I doubt I will ever sit down and read it, but you never know.
~The Men’s Soap Shop Aftershave ($14.06): I don’t know how often B uses aftershave (if ever), but this does smell very good. I have never heard of this brand before, but it looks pretty cool (the packaging on the full size product on this makes it look like a flask).
All totaled I came up with a value of $56.06 for the Men’s Mystery Fancy Box! I didn’t love this quite like I loved the Women’s box (I mean how could I), but I certainly felt like I got my money’s worth. Once again the boxes are $10 plus shipping (which is $7.95 in the continental US) and are a one time only purchase.
