Kelly Rowland Fancy Box
Cost: $39/month + $7.95 S/H.
Ships To: Worldwide via FedEx.
Coupon Code: N/A
My November Kelly Rowland Fancy Box arrived last week and I am just now getting around to doing the review on it.
Just in case you aren’t familiar, Fancy, which is $39/month (plus shipping), has a “regular” Fancy Box full of cool goodies and also celebrity curated boxes which include a collection of the coolest products hand-picked by Kelly Rowland, The Rockettes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Verbal, Coco Rocha, Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and / or Nicky Hilton. They also offer a Fancy Food Box (which is one of my favorites), a Culinary Box and Fancy Mystery Boxes.
Fancy Box shipped via FedEx and took the normal two days to arrive to me.
I opened this box and took out the packing materials and thought what is this? There was no information card, but the packing slip confirmed that it was indeed the November Kelly Rowland Fancy Box. Here is what it included:
~Deep Tea Diver ($10.16): I am sure that, if I liked tea, I would be way more excited to get tea stuff than I am. I will pass this on to a friend to enjoy.
~Get the Hint Sticky Notes ($5): I have gotten these before from Fancy. I do think they are funny (in the right place of course), but there are only so many people I can leave a sticky note like this for. Like pretty much just my husband!
~Head Massager ($2.40): Not one, but two head massagers. These have also come in a subscription box before. So far I just cannot see Kelly Rowland picking out any of these items. Oh and the regular price on this is $4 – they are on sale right now.
~Young and Wild Tee ($16): This one is on sale right now for $16 – down from $32. And like the other items, I have received this in a prior Fancy box as well. I am not sure what I did with my first one and I have no idea what I will do with this one either.
~Tea Tilt Mug ($15): Yep, I have gotten this mug in the past as well. You can take the little basket out of it and use it as a regular mug, but it is supposed to be used to steep tea. B already uses the one we have, so I guess this will be a gift too?
~In Case of Emergency Bank ($12): I actually like this and I have not received it in the past. It’s cute and will watch WB’s room!
All totaled I came up with a value of $60.56 for the November 2014 Kelly Rowland Fancy Box. Like the Nicky Hilton one I received yesterday, this did not at all feel like a celebrity curated box. It felt like a Mystery Box. I cannot see any one of these items as something Kelly Rowland would pick out and like yesterday’s box, it felt like they were sending leftovers and sale stuff! I have an e-mail into Fancy about this and I will report back when I hear from them!
Did you get the November 2014 Kelly Rowland Fancy Box? What’d you think? If you are thinking of ordering this or ANY of the Fancy Boxes, click here and get on it!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 better than the NH box, just not good. There are some really good stocking stuffers in there, but other than that… I wonder if Fancy even cares lol
I actually thought the NH one was better!!
Fancy boxes seem awful. They are just a way to clear out discounted products! Who needs two head scratchers? If I was a celeb I’d never want my name associated with this crap.
Who needs TWO head scratchers much less one???
Lol, good point! Duplicate items across multiple boxes are bad enough – in the same box? Absolutely unacceptable!
This box is so random! I really wish I could’ve subscribed to the NH October box. I think that was the best one!
It was a really good one!
Wow after seeing your most recent reviews I am glad I have held off subscribing to any of these. Seems like they are clearing overstock.
Agreed!
I think I’m over Fancy Box. It’s quite obvious that the “celebrity” curated boxes are not actually celebrity curated. It’s been that way for the last couple months at least. It’s just the same random odds and ends and the same stuff over and over again. I used all my remaining credits and gift cards towards their sale. Bought a pair of Hunter boots for $45 (REAL Hunter Boots!) and a Dry Bar blow dryer for $50. Both were 70% off. Also got a bunch of smaller items for stocking stuffers. Best purchases I’ve ever made from Fancy.
45.00 Hunter Boots and a Dry Bar on Fancy???
Yup! I spent an hour scrolling their sale section… scrolling, scrolling, scrolling…

Got the last blow dryer, which I almost bought full price at Sephora last week. Score!
and….

Got the last pair… size 8. Pefect.
If you know anyone who is size 6, these ones are still available:

Dig deep and they do have some great things, just not in Fancy Boxes.
I totally agree with you. I have gotten some super cool stuff and incredible deals on Fancy!
Thanks! I bought the last pair. I hope they run big like they say because I wear a 7 but couldn’t pass those up.
I got a complete STEAL on an iPad from them. I was able to use one of their 20% off codes (maybe it was even 30%) which was incredible.
Oh my I don’t even know what to say about this box. It is so not a Kelly box at all and you are right if I had gotten this as a mystery box I would have been happy but not when its supposed to be a curated box. And what is the deal with the information cards? Why aren’t they sending them anymore? So annoying.
Who knows! At first it was the little cards, then the fold out cards. But we we always got something. Not anymore!
These seem more like “mystery” boxes than anything curated by a celebrity.
I would be willing to bet they lose a lot of customers with this box and the Nicky Hilton one. And, I certainly would not subscribe based on these contents.
I totally agree. I can’t even figure out if the Jennifer Love Hewitt one billed / shipped last month! I need to look more into that.
Yep, definitely random. You were right about the disclaimer the other day. Do they think their customers aren’t smart enough to pick up on what they’re doing or are they hoping a lot are first-time customers who won’t care?
I have no idea! I mean, how could you not notice??
What was the disclaimer?!
Oh I just posted in my Nicky Hilton review that you should wait till you see my Kelly Rowland one!
Verbal came in today but so did four other boxes and I don’t have time to write about any of them. I have a Speech and Debate tournament tomorrow with my students and I am leaving for France soon. I will say this, I actually had to look at the box to see any indication that it came from Verbal. I also thought we had received a Mystery Box by mistake. He received a bike bell (in the image of a pedometer), dove bag closers, a paper camera, wings for one leg, and an I-cookie cutter (shaped like an I-phone). No indication that Verbal picked out the items. My husband actually thought it was fine and wants another box. I was not too impressed.
That is a totally random box too! Just a completely odd collection of things!
After the Nicky Hilton box yesterday and this one today, I’d say you probably have a drawer full of useless junk. I would take the $100 you have invested in these 2 boxes and invest in a couple of quarterly boxes. They have their stuff together over there. And you can tell the person that is supposed to be curating those boxes, is actually curating.
Yep, these are done!
Wow do people (who aren’t bloggers) actually buy these boxes?! I’ve never seen a fancy box I liked! Ever!! It always looks like a useless box of junk. Let’s put it this way..If they and a free box code for a fancy box, I wouldn’t use it!
OK. I don’t even know what to say. I posted on the NH one that Fancy responded that NH or her team approved the items. I’m not sure if I am going to try another NH box. I’m glad that I received the items in her box and not the ones in this box. At least the other items are more useful to my family. The bank looks fun.
I’d be curious to see what customer service says because this is kind of inexcusable. :/
So far they have said that I can return one item for a replacement. I e-mailed them back and said that was not enough.
Wow, that’s pretty terrible. 😮 Hopefully they will be willing to let you send back the entire box!
They sent me a $15 gift card. I may e-mail them again! I just really would like someone to explain???
When you were commenting “I don’t think Kelly Rowland picked out any of this” it made me chuckle because Lindi and I review NH, JLH and CR and all 3 of those boxes we agreed Nicky Hilton was definitely the only person who actually had a hand in the curation.
I’m getting so many Fancy repeat items these days too!
I think CR does! Or she did anyway. She has at least done some autographed items!
I thought fancy was much better curated in the beginning. Now everything is just repeats! I received everything in the past except the tea diver, which I actually think is adorable and wish I had. But even then, I know it was included in a past box. Nothing here is new! I’m glad I dropped Fancy last November.
I know. I canceled this and NH!
Must be clearing out stock. I subscribe to the culinary box and recived the same post its and tilt mug in my December box. Usually i’m pretty happy with my box but this time was probably the worst. Felt like it was just thrown together without any thought and there were no cards or leaflet with the product discription. And definitely not worth the suggested value.
