Golden Tote Surprise Tote Review – Tote 2!

Golden Tote Surprise Tote Review - Tote 2

In addition to their regular monthly totes, Golden Tote recently introduced a Surprise Item Tote. It’s $99 (plus shipping), it’s always in stock, and it’s always all surprise items. (You can indicate whether or not you are OK with receiving surprise items from previous totes. I opted for only new surprise items just to make sure I didn’t get any repeats).

This is my second Surprise Tote. (Check out my first surprise tote review too!)

The Box: Golden Tote Surprise Tote

The Cost: $99 plus shipping (Find it in the Boutique)

The Products: 4-5 surprise clothing items. (Available in sizes XS-L)

Check out all my regular Golden Tote reviews too!

THML Clothing Top - Value $40?

I really like this top (the length is perfect), and I like the detail in the back as well!

Golden Tote Surprise Tote Review - Tote 2! Shift

Sweet Claire Shift Dress - Value $50?

There are certain people who can pull off the look the of the shift dress, and I am not one of them. I tried this on and it just looked super boxy on me. It will be swapped.

Catch Me Top - Value $30?

This top is at that weird length where it's a little too long to be a top and a little too short to be a dress. I could use it as a swimsuit coverup, but I think I'll put it through the laundry and try to shrink it a little bit since I will get more use out of it as a top.

Jolie Linen Shorts - Value $30?

I never buy linen clothes because I hate how easily wrinkled they can get (after wearing them for like 5 minutes!), but these shorts probably won't bother me so much if they wrinkle a little - I'll give them a try!

Verdict: I definitely like my first Surprise Tote more, but I will use 3 out of the 4 items in this tote so I'm happy. Based on the two totes I received, it seems like these totes have two tops, one dress, and one other type of item. That's only based on my experience though, so I could be wrong about their surprise tote formula! What do you think of my second Golden Tote Surprise Tote?

I have the same first top as you did. I like it a lot and wore it the next day for a house party. I receive 2 other tops, one for keep and the other to swap. I also receive a mini skirt, that I cannot see wearing (not part of the targeted age group).

Maybe you’ve answered this somewhere else, but I have to know… The totes themselves look like they’re fabric/reusable. You must have a TON of them by now. What do you do with all of them? Are they a good size for groceries? A lot of the designs are super cute and I think I’d be tempted to start hauling everything I own around with me in a bunch of them.

That 2nd item made me really not want to ever purchase a surprise tote. It’s hideous.

I got the same striped top in my tote! I love it! It came just in time for the Fourth of July!

A pair of flats I got at Target a couple years ago has the exact same pattern as the top of that dress! I think the pattern works on the shoes–not so much on that ugly dress! And I also like linen shorts.

I love wearing shifts, but that is one of the ugliest dresses I have ever seen. It looks like it should be the uniform to work in a Mexican restaurant. Linen shorts are my favorite, though, and they stay surprisingly unwrinkled as long as you fold them neatly. And I like both of the white tops that you got in your surprise totes a lot. But that dress is seriously concerning.
