November Loot Crate Review

November's Loot Crate had a theme of BATTLE!  I was pretty excited when they teased this one.  There were hints of great items from Street Fighter and Mega Man.  They also kept teasing that there was awesome t-shirt this month.

I loved when we got a t-shirt from this company last time in a previous box from Loot Crate.  I think that this one is a little overwhelming.  I think that this one is harder to read, and it kind of doesn't really make sense to mix ninja with pirate.  I think this kind of just sets up the rest of the box to be like this shirt, almost cool.  The Street Fighter head band...almost cool.  The Halo mini-figure...almost cool.  The Megaman helmet...almost cool.  The thing that I found to be the best in this crate was the Assassins Creed Unity coin.  The thing is, what do you do with it...other than put it in a drawer?

So, was it worth it...Loot Crate is $17.66 a month.  This one missed the mark for me.  I'm hoping that Loot Crate will win me back.  This past year has really been hit or miss when it comes to Loot Crate.  I think you have to be really open minded with this subscription and realize that some months may not be that great depending on your interests.

November Fancy Box(es)

November in a nutshell.  I currently have four Fancy box subscriptions.  With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays...I didn't get any of these up in a very timely manner...so here are all four in one post.

The Culinary Box this month was all about Thanksgiving.  I'm not sure how often a lot of these items will get used though.  I will for sure use the whisk, but beyond that I don't really know if the taste injector will ever get used.  I'm going to go back to what I said a long time ago about this box.  If you don't have much in your kitchen when it comes to gadgets, then this my friend is the box for you.

The November Nicky Hilton box threw me for a loop.  It came the same day as my Culinary Box.  I opened this one first and thought it was the Culinary Subscription.  There are some fun things in here, but the Nicky Hilton boxes have become less and less appealing as time has gone on with this subscription.

This month's Rockettes's box is summed up in one word.  Boo!  I feel like it's a trip through their gift shop.  Fancy has totally given up on including why items are selected for any of their subscription boxes, so I'm left wondering why I was given a package of business cards giving me the "opportunity" to draw my own pictures on before giving to someone.  I honestly would cancel this subscription if it weren't so close to Christmas.  I have high hopes for the Rockettes in December because that is their month to shine with all their emphasis on Christmas.

The only box that I was really excited for this month was the iJustine Box.  The theme was video games and I got some really great things.  I feel like because this box is still new, there is still hope for it. No promises though... I've gotten GamaGo tattoos before, and I always love the designs.  I really like the "Gameboy" cell phone holder, even though it's too small for my phone.  I'll be using it for something else for sure.  The sunglasses don't work for me, since I wear glasses.  They have already been gifted on to my brother and worn a lot.  I also really like the throwback with the art she selected for her box this month.  I like the funny spin on the Mario Bros.  It has the look of the video game with just a hint of the very unsuccessful movie from their franchise.  This is a great pick, and will be hung up for sure.

Tetris always has a special place in my heart.  I'm really liking these cookie cutters.  I can't wait for the craziness of the holidays to go by, so I can start baking things other than Christmas Trees and Gingerbread people.  The sticky notes are pretty impractical, but I'm thinking that they will be a great size to use as bookmarks.  I really like these offerings.

So, is it worth it... for the most part I'd say no.  Each of these subscriptions are $39.00 plus shipping and handling.  The only box that I liked this month was the iJustine box.  Which basically means this month was a bust.
