Fancy offered FREE shipping one day last week on Mystery Boxes and you know I had to take advantage of it.  I opted for a Women’s Medium Box for $20 partly because the Small ones weren’t available and partly because I usually get the Large ones and wanted to try something different.

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, Snoop Dogg, Coco Rocha and / or Tyler Florence. They also offer a Fancy Food Box (which is one of my favorites). In addition, Fancy is now offering Mystery Boxes in three sizes – Small ($10), Medium ($20) and Large ($40), and either Men or Women.

The Box

Unlike every other Fancy Box (Mystery or otherwise) I have received, this box shipped via FedEx Smart Post (as oppose to regular FedEx Home) and took a week to arrive.  I am guessing that it was because shipping was free they opted to use a cheaper method.

First Look

My first look was just kind of there.  There was nothing to dig into or wrap which might be why I was just meh about it.  Since it was a mystery box it also didn’t contain an information card, but I was easily able to identify everything in the box:

~LAEX Fancy Cardholder ($30):  I think this is my third cardholder like this.  I have used one, but this one and the other one can hang out together until I figure out what to do with them.

~Bamboo Paper Straws ($8): Oddly I have always wanted these.  Well, not since I was a little girl or anything.  Just since I saw them in a Fancy Box.  The boys will get a kick out of them and think they are drinking out of trees.

~Text Messages Sticky Notes ($7): Ha!  I can always use more sticky notes and if I can get B to text me back on these, even better ;).

~Japonesque Eyelash Curler ($14): I will probably end up trading or gifting this since I already have one.  It’s kind of neat though because it’s designed for specific lashes you just can’t get curled.  You know it always happens!  It does to me at least!

All totaled I came up with a value of $59 for this Women’s Fancy Mystery Box!  The box was $20 (shipping was free), so even if I take out the card holder it’s still a $29 value. Not a crazy amazing box, but not awful either.

Did you get a Fancy Mystery Box?  What’d you get in yours and what size did you get? If you are interested in buying one, go here and use the drop down menu to select the size (Small, Medium or Large) of the box you want and Men’s or Women’s.  And of course, make sure to report back on what’s in your mystery box!

    Nice!! i ordered two trying to get that clear pouch last round no such luck!!

    1. Jennifer

      The orange one?? I’ll send you mine!

      1. Tiffany

        Yes the first thing you posted, that clear like credit card wallet.. I thought it would be PERFECT for the pool to store money in for snacks and stuff when the bag gets completely soaked and full of sand 🙂

        I would LOVE that!!

        I can send you an RAK of goodies for your LP! 😉

        1. Jennifer

          Deal. E-mail me with your address!

    Your NG Muito Cool hat do you think i’ll fit a 4 year old? Just want to know before I swap for it because it goes great with a lot of the boys bright clothes. If you visit my blog every picture my little ones are in bright clothes.

    1. Jennifer

      I think it would be big. At least it’s big on my 6 year old.

      1. Teena

        Okay that answers my question.

    This was my first fancy box, and I was pretty disappointed with it. I received the same one you did. My favorite item was also the bamboo straws. I’ll use the post-its and try my best to trade the card case and eyelash curler. The men’s medium box was better though. It contained a mason jar shaker, sunglasses, sasquatch soap, and hot dog slicer.

    1. Jennifer

      That men’s one sounds good!

  4. Jacquelyn Noell

    I ordered the Women’s Medium and I got…
    -The Fancy Wayfarer Sunglasses in Brown.
    – NCLA “What Filter Should I Use?” Nail Wraps.
    – Sophie Sparrow Gold Shark Tooth Necklace.
    – Chapstick.

    1. Jennifer

      Were you happy?

      1. Jacquelyn Noell

        I got my money worth. So that was a perk. The sunglasses are nice but I have so many. My sister liked them so they might end up being hers.
        The shark necklace my son likes. And I think it is kinda neat.
        Never used nail wraps before. =\
        And have not tried the lip balm.
        All in all I guess I am content. =]
        I wish I would have ordered the mens. I think that mason shaker is neat!

        1. Jennifer

          The mason shaker is great. I wish I would have ordered that too!

  5. Jessica

    I got both medium boxes. In the women’s box I received the shark tooth necklace (which made it worth it!), Fancy Wayfarers, a lip balm, and some nail wraps. The men’s was The Mason shaker, AJ Morgan sunglasses, hot dog slicers, and a soap. They were my first boxes so no repeats, but I would have been seriously disappointed with your box, except the post its. I guess I lucked out!

    1. Jennifer

      I like the men’s one you got, but I think all of the women’s ones would have been repeats for me.

    I got the large mystery box this afternoon, and it was a bit disappointing. I should have gone for the medium box. I really like those bamboo straws, the post it notes (which I’d also use as masks for card making), and the eyelash curler.

    I got the Wayfarer sunglasses which are gorgeous, but I can’t wear them, a white cup with a shark figure on the inside of it, an earphone splitter (that one will actually come in handy on flights, but that’s still means we’ll only use it maybe twice a year), a cuff bracelet, and the Kinfolk book.

    1. Jennifer

      Not amazing. I wonder what their warehouse looks like. Lots of straws and scale and sunglasses I bet.

    I ordered a medium men’s box AND a medium women’s box. Free shipping! So it was the perfect time to try them.
    The women’s box was just okay. It included:
    – The Fancy tortoise sunglasses. They are a fun style that I don’t have. Perfect for the lake!
    – Sophie Sparrow shark-tooth necklace. Not sure on this one. It’s fun and different. I’ll have to figure out what to wear with it.
    – NCLA nail wraps in What Filter Should I Use. I have never tried any nail wraps. It’s on my list of things to do. This print seems fun for the summer.
    – Bib & Tuck chapstick. I will find a home for this one.
    I was not wowed, but I think $20 with free shipping was a good deal for this one. Not sure if I would get another one without free shipping though. However, the men’s box was great! I got:
    – Mason jar cocktail shaker. Super fun! I am sending this to my son, since he will like it and probably use it.
    – Sasquatch soap. Smells great! I will also send this to my son since he’ll get a kick out of the name. He loves those silly big-foot hunting shows.
    – Wall Decal – “Work Hard Stay Humble”. I will give this to my brother. He owns his own business and that is how he rolls. 🙂
    – Cuppow- turn your canning jar into a travel mug. Clever! Another gift for a friend who will love this.
    – Quirky Hotdog slicers. My husband liked these and thought they’d be fun to keep around when we are grilling hotdogs with kids.
    I thought the men’s box was a great deal! And overall, it was fun to just be surprised.

    1. Jennifer

      I think the men’s box you got was fabulous! I would have gotten a men’s one!
