Turning the card over reveals a list of all the quirky items included this month and their values.
Ice Cream Pool Float – Value $3.69
I don't have a pool, and I don't go to public ones all that often, but this ice cream inflatable instantly makes me happy! At just under three feet tall, this big purple cone probably won't save your life, but it will brighten up a pool party.
Set of 5 Unicorn Horn Make Up Brushes - Value $9.80
I'm not even that into unicorns anymore, but I gasped with delight when I saw these. The purple plastic handles and the rainbow-hued brushes are just amazing! It's great that there are five in all different sizes and shapes. I don't have any brushes, so these are a total win for me. The best part is that these are items that will stay home to fulfill my secret teenage (or pre-teen?) dreams instead of having to choose between this and something more "grown up". The brushes are SO SOFT and the pouch they come in is adorable.
Girl Gang Patch - Value $4.05
My #patchgame is becoming pretty strong lately, and this is welcomed as my newest addition. I have a fair amount of pro-lady merch these days, but I can always have more. Since I'm a big fan of long acrylic nails, I can get down with this design even more. This patch is also iron-on which is important to know for all the lazy people like myself! Just nab a plain sweatshirt from the thrift store, slap this on, and BOOM. New awesome sweatshirt that no one else in your neighborhood has.
Cactus Pen - Value $2.25
Quirky Crate is catching on fast to what I love. This unique cactus pen is really doing it for me. I'm into its pale green hue, and am again surprised by the quality of such a novelty pen. As I mentioned in my recent Messy Box review, novelty pens usually suck, so I'm stoked that new ones are on the up and up!
Kristin Carder Rainbow Laser Cat Enamel Pin - Value $10
Oh heck yes. This pin is rad! Kristin Carder is the featured pin artist of this month's box, so this pin comes straight from her online shop. As I mentioned, you can tell by looking at her site that she loves color, and this cat pin proves it. The quality here is great, and the design is super creative and fun!
NPW London VibeSquad Confetti Pouch - Value $11.70
I legitimately squealed when I saw this pouch. They call it a coin purse on the info card, but it screams pencil pouch to me. I swear I had something like this in elementary school back in the 80's. I love that it's filled with water and confetti that you can squish around. It's 7.5" wide and 4.5" high, so most standard pens and pencils (or pixy stix) will fit in there. Hard to pick a favorite this month, but this is at the top!
Ice Cream Socks - Listed Value $8
I wonder if each box will feature a pair of socks because so far, we are two for two. I'm not mad about it, just curious! This month brings us bright yellow short crew socks with pink and blue ice cream cones! The ice cream is on both sides of each sock and they are a pretty decent quality. Not as cushy or soft as a luxury sock, but it's getting the job done.
Unicorn Cookie Cutter - Value $1.99
The last item we have is a metal cookie cutter in the shape of a leaping unicorn! This cutter is almost 3.5", tail to horn. I actually don't own any cookie cutters, so I'm stoked to now own a unique one that will no doubt make fun cookies to decorate!
Smarties and Pixy Stix
Last month we got giant smarties, and this month is a regular size pack, plus 2 pixy stix. These aren't listed in the value, so they're just a fun bonus item!
Verdict: Quirky Crate certainly brought the colorful excitement this month for me. I was immediately obsessed with the confetti pouch and unicorn horn make up brushes. After looking the items up online, my concern is that they over-valued some things on their info card that I could easily order cheaper via Amazon or other sources. That being said, the cheaper prices I found still added up to be $51.48 (under the promised $64 value), which is still over the total cost of the box ($40.94). I am really loving Quirky Crate just two months in and look forward to more!
