I thought this box was going to be great, and I still like the enthusiasm and spirit behind this box, but gee, I’m afraid I cannot say I loved this box and will be putting a bunch of it up for swaps. First, it was really poorly packaged. The box was squashed, so the poster (rolled up) was squashed. The inside of box was filled with crinkled paper shreds, and it was very hard to find some of the very small items. There’s supposed to be a carabiner in the box, but I never found it. Doesn’t look like Leisha found it either! Let’s see how responsive customer service is!
On the good side: I like the bandana with the batiked stars. Very cool. All the Kiehls skin care — I think these alone justify the cost of the box, but just barely. The little bottle with message inside is cute.
But majority was on the “huh?” side:
I’m too old for posters, and even in college I would not have put up a sexy celebrity poster even if it is signed. I need a kid brother to give it to.
The glass beads are cool, but I wish there was some ideas / instructions / materials list on how to actually make something with it. Just stringing it up on thread isn’t going to look very professional.
Same with the glow in the dark thread. Neat idea, but I’ve been searching the web for interesting ideas of what to do with it, and I’m just not going to start a cross-stitch project right now!
I don’t get the lanyard.
The other textile piece of fabric – again, wish there were some ideas of what to do with it. Orange is not my color, so it’s not going to go on my head.
The batik bag – it’s ok. It’s rather floppy with little structure, no extra pockets, so it’s not going to work well for a gym bag for me. So I’m wondering what I will use it for.
Little flashing light – neato for a party maybe but nothing really special.
Pinhole glasses – what do I do with these?
I’ll give this box one more chance just because!
