SMFX Smart Lightbulb - Value $46.92 on Amazon
First up is a smart LED light bulb! I'm a sucker for gadgets and technology - so, of course, I'm excited for this. Liz got me a Philips smart LED light bulb set a couple of years ago - they are great. What I like about this bulb is that it's a self-contained unit - you screw it in the outlet and control it on iOS or Android via Bluetooth. My Philips bulbs required me to plug a hub into my router to control them - so this is much better for me.
Allocacoc PowerCube - $22.99
Maybe I'm a sucker for too many things, but I'm also a sucker for power cords! I know, it's weird - but you always need a surge protector. I've never seen this cube power unit before - I like it a lot. I also like that it has an optional mounting unit. They had me at PowerCube.
Machine Era Brass Pen - Value $39.00 on Amazon
This a beautiful solid brass pen. It has a very nice weight to it, being solid brass and all - very solid pen - and it looks good, I'll be keeping it on the desk!
Chomps Hoppin' Jalapeno - Value $2.25
This is the second time we've receive Chomps in a subscription box, and they make some delicious snack sticks! I literally just ate this, and while you can taste the jalapenos - its not too spicy, and doesn't leave a burning aftertaste. It's perfect for me!
The Goodwell Company Floss - Value $5.99
This travel floss kit is 100% biodegradable and shaped like a credit card! I've never sen these before, but they are uniquely made to travel with you in your wallet or purse. Please note, this is one single card, and a $5.99 box contains 10 cards.
Here's a look at the card shape.
Verdict: This is my first time reviewing the Kevin Rose Quarterly box - and I really enjoyed it! I thought there was a really nice curation of products around his theme, and it came in over the cost of the box - it was win-win! On top of that, I'll be putting every item from this box to good use - and that's always what I look for in a subscription box!
