Skandicrush Subscription Box Review – February 2015

This is my second month on Skandicrush. I liked the blanket last month but this month was a disappointment. I liked the cloud cutting board, it was cute, but the Alvar Aalto dish has been around a long time. I got one or two for my wedding 10 years ago and have to say I’m not a huge fan. Nothing new here. The value of this box was especially disappointing.
For $55 I may stick around one more month but if I get another disappointing box I may unsubscribe.

Never mind the items – what is that awesome looking bread Liz has on the board?! 🙂

I have received this box and the last from Skandicrush, the beautiful blanket. Overall, I am really happy to receive these things from Finland, Germany and Sweden. I don’t have to travel there to pick up things. I thought this month was cool, not as wowed as last month, but it had its own cool factor. I am sticking with this one!

The bowl is a design classic (almost to the point of being cliché), so it’s unsurprising that it would show up in this box sooner or later. It looks fantastic with candy and that’s a great use for it, but it’s not a ‘candy dish’ specifically. I would never have thought to put candy in it.

I like both these items, but the value isn’t there this time, especially as it costs $55 now. If I subbed for a year, I’d have all kinds of neat and useful things that I wouldn’t have thought to buy for myself. It’s more about the curation than the value. But for some reason I find it hard to sign up knowing that there might only be one item, and the value might be low.

I’m glad some of you seem happy but I instantly cancelled upon receipt of this box. My mouth was agape I was so disappointed! My first box was last month’s blanket (which I loved), but the low value made me not want to subscribe any further. Also, I listed my box on Ebay if anyone wants to buy it at a bargain price!

I am not home yet so haven’t seen in person but based on the review this may be a little disappointing both on value and the items. Really don’t need another cutting board or a candy dish. I agree that the addition of some unique candy would have helped this box.

The candy dish is cute, it matches the cutting board. I’m surprised they did not include some great candy, to increase the value and to put the glass dish. The monthly subscription cost is $55 ( instead of $50 ) I think the price was raised since the first box. I like how simple and useable all the items in the box. Maybe one day I will sign up, if the values start increasing to maybe $85 or more.

I love that cute cutting board, but the glass bowl is a very…interesting shape.
