The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Box

The Fantasy Box is a subscription service for adults, designed to provide a little “kick” into your romantic relationship. They offer a variety of fantasy-themed boxes to choose from, each containing step-by-step instructions and products to help facilitate an intimate and special date night.

The Fantasy Box kindly sent us the Platinum Box to review.


The Fantasy Box Subscription Review First Look

The Subscription Box: The Fantasy Box

The Cost: You can choose to receive your boxes monthly, or every other month. The cost is $159 for the Platinum Box (5-7 products), $59 for the Classic Box (4-6 products), or $34 for the Essentials Box (3-4 products). This is a review of the Platinum Box.

The Products: 5-7 luxury products from high-end brands. With the Platinum Box, you also get to customize your experience, including lingerie colors, toy preferences, fantasy progression, etc.

Ships To: US and Canada, but if you live internationally you contact their customer service and they will work with you to figure out the additional shipping costs!

The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Shipment

The first thing I noticed about the Fantasy Box was that it came in a completely inconspicuous brown box. The second thing I noticed was that the actual, red-and-black box was extremely high-quality and even had a magnetic closure.

The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Items

The goal of the Fantasy Box is to turn the box into an intimate date night for you and your partner. It comes with informational cards and questionnaires to help the two of you communicate and give you step-by-step direction to help you live out a fantasy. This month’s theme is “Leader & Follower.”

The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Cards

There are two part to the box: The “For Him” and “For Her” cards are surveys with questions about preferences, attitudes towards, and likes/dislikes regarding sex. The second part is the actual role playing of the fantasy. The white instructional card helps you approach the box in an open and positive way, and even suggests you talk with your partner about your answers over a romantic dinner.

 The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Blindfold

Sex & Mischief Satin Black Blindfold – Value: $6.99

This blindfold is a necessity with the box’s theme of leader/follower. It’s soft and is a nice item to be used on its own or even with future Fantasy Boxes.

The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Leg Avenue

Sliqud Organics Botanically Infused Natural Lubricaing Gel – Full Size (4.2 oz), value: $12.99

Nylon Sheer Thigh Highs with Lace Top by Leg Avenue – Value: $9.50

I’m very glad that the Fantasy Box includes many organic and natural products – which seems especially important when it comes to intimate products like personal lubricant! This Sliquid Organics Lubricating Gel is glycerin- and paraben-free, hypoallergenic, and vegan-friendly.

The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Candle

Don’t Stop Massage Candle by Booty Parlor – Value: $36

The scent of this candle is a lovely Sandalwood Vanilla. This is a soy candle, made of a blend of shea butter, vitamin E, aloe vera, jojoba, and coconut oil and is paraffin-, paraben-, and dye-free. To use, you burn the candle until a pool of oil forms. Then, you blow out the candle and pour the warm massage oil onto your partner. I’m glad they made an effort to make sure that the oil isn’t just a bunch of chemicals and is actually good for your skin!

Here’s a close up of the candle. The porcelain feels very high quality and it has a convenient pour spout.

 The Fantasy Box Subscription Review Corset

Regal Romance Stain and Metallic Lace Chemise by DreamGirl – ~ $40

I couldn’t find this exact set from Dream Girl Direct, so I estimated the price from similar sets and listings for this set elsewhere. The quality of this chemise is actually very nice! It’s soft and feels comfortable, plus I love the removable straps at the bottom to clip onto thigh highs (which works well, since a set of thigh highs came in the box!).

The Fantasy Box Subscription Review More

MiMi by Je Joue – Value: $89

This vibrator is made with seamless, 100% body safe silicon (which means it’s phthalate-free), waterproof, and runs quietly. It also features a 3-button design that helps you control the 5 power levels and 6 different pulse patterns. It’s obvious that this is a very high-quality product.

The Fantasy Box Mimi

The MiMi is comes in a really nice box for itself. It’s rechargeable, which I’m sure can probably be frustrating considering you would have to sit and wait for it to charge when it runs down instead of simply replacing the batteries. The charger that comes with it is proprietary, and it connects magnetically. However, I know that the rechargeable feature exists to ensure complete and trouble-free waterproof functionality.

Verdict: Overall, I was very impressed with the Fantasy Box. They don’t feel gimmick-y at all, the products could all be permanent additions to your sexual experiences on their own, and I really appreciate their focus on actually enhancing a relationship through their service. I love that it included organic products that are free of any parabens or harmful chemicals. The cost of the Platinum box is $159 and the products within the box are valued at just under $200, so I’m happy with the value.

What are your thoughts? Have you tried any adult subscription boxes before?

I had a TERRIBLE fantasy box and even worse customer service. The toy that came in my box was broken, the delivery was super fast, but dont bother if ur not going to spend the most to get the platinum box, assuming everything works. Then theres no customer service, what I got back was the most rude email I have ever recieved from anyone, saying they just canceled my subscription since “I obviously dont appriciate their box”…

Actually what I don’t appriciate is some rude person mad because they sent me broken items for almost $60… THEN the box that we were looking forward to was basically… unusable unless I wanted to be burned with a candle… HARD PASSSSSS, if anything goes wrong u r on ur own… weird customer service reps, false advertisment on their sites, and don’t allow ALL customers to review, just ones that ordered several boxes.

I think everyone receives similar first boxes (with the whole leader/follower theme). I just got my second box today, and it involves the fantasy of the woman being a lingerie runway model like in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and the guy being a photographer. The box was filled with lingerie, one kinda cute striped strapless top with thong, and the other two sexy black lace…um, teddies? Not sure of all the lingerie terminology! They each had a lace collar thing with a connection to wristbands–one was chain like and the other a ribbon, I think. The one also had some ribbons that you tied around your legs maybe? Luckily they both have instructions! 🙂 And this came with a pair of thigh-highs too. The lingerie seemed good quality, too. Just wanted to give a sense of what other boxes might be like!

I also just received my second box …. it involves a couples toy complete with remote control, lingerie, massage oil and those fabulous fantasy cards Chris and Mariah include to set up the ‘date’. I am so impressed with this subscription (the quality & value have exceeded my expectations). I’m already looking forward to my next box.

I ordered the box using the Gilt voucher. I placed my order late Thursday and the box arrived today – Monday. I’m impressed. I ordered the Platinum box. There is a survey to fill out on sizes etc. Everything I received was the same except for the lingerie. I love what was selected for me and would had bought it in a store if I saw it. It’s a Coquette plum baby doll. I love it.

There are deals for 1st time Fantasy Box subscribers on Gilt City (3 different discount options). I just purchased the Platinum intro box for $87.20 using code WELCOME20 (I am a first time Gilt City customer too). Just a heads up for anyone that might be interested in this box … can’t wait to receive mine!

I am having a REALLY hard time trying to talk myself out of splurging on this box. (P.S. I would love to see more reviews of Fantasy Box and other boxes like it. Thanks!)

I felt the same. They have 3 price options. I got the middle priced version. But, after receiving this box..I might have to splurge every few months and change it to the platinum version. They have so many ordering options ( every other month, hold, cancel, upgrade, downgrade ..) the concept ,and products are awesome!

We just received our first box! This company has awesome customer service! I live the box! They take their service seriously. They deliver quality products. I ordered on Friday and it was at my door on Monday! My partner and I work a lot. This box makes those very few and far between moments, a little more fun and romantic. Bring on the second box…we are looking forward to it. This box and the the customer service reps take the embarrassment out of ordering” sex”products, by turning them into “sensual ” necessities!

I’m so glad you finally reviewed The Fantasy Box! I agree that this was a very well spoken, tactful review. One think you said was that “this months” theme was Follower & Leader– that is actually everyone’s first box, no matter what month you sign up in! Then, from there, they send you boxes based on your previous boxes, which may be different from someone else’s box that month from. All of the themes are very well thought out, with each box containing an instruction card for both him & her that are detailed, yet keep it classy.

I tell all my friends (that I feel comfortable with) about this box because it is so well done! There are other similar boxes out there that feel trashy and come across as very little effort put into it, but this one goes above and beyond. And if you sign up for the platinum box (which is so worth the price) you can ask them to incorporate certain ideas or items (like say, purple lingerie) and they will curate the box around those requests. Their customer service is exceptional. I really can’t say enough good things about this box and the people behind it!

You did a really good job with this review. Very professional, tactful, and sensitive about handling adult subject matter. I know these comments are usually about the product, but I just thought once in a while it might be nice to hear that you wrote something really well! Well done!
