My Mother’s Day Fancy Box was on my porch this morning when I got home and I couldn’t get into it fast enough. I have been dying to see what was included in this one and hadn’t been able to find any spoilers on it yet, so I was anxious!
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, T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, Coco Rocha and / or Tyler Florence. They also offer a Fancy Food Box (which is one of my favorites) and offer Limited Edition Boxes, such as this Mother’s Day one every so often. This year they offered $19 / $39 / $79 boxes. I purchased the $79 box. In addition, Fancy is now offering Mystery Boxes in three sizes – Small ($10), Medium ($20) and Large ($40), and either Men or Women.
Fancy Box ships via FedEx. This box shipped on Friday and arrived to me on Tuesday (today). I may not love that they charge extra for shipping, but I do love that they arrive so quickly.
Like I said I hadn’t been able to find any spoilers on this one, but things looked good from the first look!
The Mother’s Day Fancy Box doesn’t include a true information card (or cards), but it does have a cute little postcard type card. Here is what was included in my Large Mother’s Day Fancy Box:
~Midnight Clutch by Emilie M. ($50): I know this came in a lot of people’s Fancy Mystery Boxes, but I never received one in mine. I really like the clutch and love the size of it. Most clutches I have are tiny and this is huge in comparison.
~Tilt Mug ($15): B has one of these from a different Fancy box at work I believe? I am going to take the little tea thing out of this and just use it as a regular mug. It seems bigger than a normal mug, which is nice! L would also love to drink hot chocolate out of this with mini m&m’s or mini marshmallows in the basket. How cute would that be?
~Silver Bar Necklace by Lumo ($40): Love this! It’s delicate and gorgeous and I love it. I should have B wrap this up for Mother’s Day for me because it would be perfect.
~Selection Decanting Pourer ($13): Oh, we received one of these a while back and love it! It’s probably one of our favorite Fancy box items. I don’t know that I can taste a difference using this, but it really helps with drips and spills.
~Japonesque Safari Collection Brushes ($20): I believe I have received these in a Coco Rocha Fancy Box maybe? Sometime last Spring? I have no idea where they are now, so I guess another set isn’t a bad thing. They are really cute.
~Fancy Nail Lacquer ($21): I know this has made the rounds in various Fancy boxes, but somehow I have never received it! It’s not really summery or Mother’s Day’ish, but it is nail polish, so yeah, I am happy with it!
All totaled I came up with a value of $159 for Mother’s Day Fancy Box. The box was $79 (plus shipping), so the value was almost double the cost! I liked this box, but I didn’t love it. It kind of felt more Mystery Box like than Mother’s Day box like. It’s possible it’s just because I have received so many Fancy Boxes in the past few weeks that I am not as excited about it as I would have otherwise been.
Did you get a Mother’s Day Fancy Box? What size did you get and what did it include? I am super curious to see if they were all the same or if there was variation between the sizes of the box.

I am glad that is not the box I chose to gift my mom with. The packaging is just so-so for a box advertised as a gift. Like the Pop Sugar holiday box that was wrapped so nice with each item individually wrapped in tissue paper. That was a nicely packaged gift!
I kind of expected this packaging, but you are right. For a gift it wouldn’t have been am amazing presentation
With half the items being from the mystery boxes and the others from old boxes I was very disappointed in this Box. I found the medium box to be nicer, especially at half the cost. There was nothing special or thoughtful about these boxes.
What was in the medium? Yeah I am wondering if my thoughts would be different if I hadn’t already gotten /seen so much of it?
Well from what I’ve read I did well to get a book at least about being a mom, and the cute druzy earrings. Coulda been worse.
Which book was it? Not the one on Greece someone else received I take it???
I’m glad I didn’t get this box after seeing your review. XD After seeing the other Fancy mystery boxes, I have traded for both the clutch and the mug already, so if I had gotten this I would have had two repeat items!
That is good then!!!
Hi there!
Can you tell me if your Mystery Box’s invoice says $39 or $79?
I too ordered the large one but I believe we may be missing items! You may want to call or email as I did. The contents I got were the same however~
$39. But I e-mailed them and it was a misprint. The $39 box has a candle, powder, tea and something else in it I believe.
I also agree with you guys. I own all those items already from previous boxes, except for the necklace. I think Fancy would be wise to include a statement in the future that there might be product overlap. All great items though.
It’s possible there is one. I probably still would have bought it though!
Actually there isn’t any such statement. What they say is that you will get favorites from the crowd sourcing, yet most of the items have less than 10 fancies. I think what was so disappointing is that the box did not appear to be thoughtfully curated and in respect to the prices of the subscription boxes and the mystery boxes the Mother’s Day boxes were overpriced when you count in the higher cost for shipping (twice or more the normal shipping cost) and that you were receiving the same old same old.
I have a question about the mystery boxes. I LOVED mine–I got a medium men’s box and a large women’s box–but if I ordered another set, would I be likely to get the same thing? Apparently, I have no idea how the process really works.
Hmm, that is a good question. I have ordered a few and there have been some overlap between them, but I have yet to get two of the exact same boxes.
I got the medium box. It had a packing list that said Tes, (whatever that is),
Book, Studs, candle, powder. The only thing on the list I received was a book, Living in Greece, got the tilt mug I received in the regular box that made me cancel, also the tiny decanter pourer that came in that box, a stick to the refrigerator shopping list, and a bracelet that says its Sea Green Chalcedony, but it is pitch black.
very disappointed. I’m just sure a mother would love a shopping list that requires some kind of metal refrigerator to stick to, there was nothing special in this box at all.
That is quite a random assortment. That book is pretty specific to put in a Mother’s Day box!
I ordered the large box and my invoice shows $39.00. I sent an email and haven’t heard back from Fancy. I also received the clutch, wine pourer, NCLA heart nail polish, tilted mug, a very nice jewelry roll and a book The Sartorialist. At first I was happy to get a book but this $25 paperback is just full of pictures. The book made this box a thumbs down for me. Unfortunately, some of this stuff goes on the swap site so hopefully I will remember not to waste my money on Fancy Mystery Boxes.
Ohh, so I guess they are all different. That is interesting! My invoice said $39 too. They said it was a mistake.
