Coastal Co. Fall 2018 Review
When you first go to sign up for Coastal Co., you’ll be met with a short survey to let them know your sizing and physical features so they can send the perfect items for you. They also take your location/climate into account when selecting items.
Complexion, face shape, top size, bra (cup) size, waist size, ring size, and shoe size will all go into your profile.
When you receive your box you’ll see an info card right on top that has a lovely beachy photo on one side and a short intro with the items and their prices on the other side.
Pirette Fragrance Sample
A free sample of this beachy fragrance kicks off the Fall box. The card describes it as fresh green coconut, surf wax, and sunscreen. I have to say that I like it quite a bit and it totally reminds me of being near the ocean. The coconut really stands out.
Nixon Facet Watch in Silver – Retail Value $200.00
The big-ticket item in this box is this super nice watch from Nixon. Every subscriber received this beautifully well-made stunner and I have to say it’s one of the nicest watches I now own. It must get its name from the glass faceted face of the watch that creates a really classy look that actually reminds me of a mirror I’ve wanted for several years with a similar cut. It has a really nice weight to it which makes sense seeing as though it’s made completely of stainless steel with a linked band that can be adjusted to fit. It comes with a little pouch housing extra links but you can, of course, get some taken out (like I’ll have to do as you can tell from the photo above). The face doesn’t have any numbers, but rather just silver bars that denote the time with minute dots all along the outside edge. I’m surprised to receive such a classy, nice watch worth so much from a beach-themed subscription box, but I’m not disappointed at all.
S’well Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle, 17 oz. – Retail Value $35.00 (similar linked)
The next item is familiar to me since I’ve seen S’well water bottles all over. They’ve included the medium 17-ounce size which is really roomy and holds a lot of any liquid you desire, hot or cold. The first thing that comes to mind is for water on a hot summer day and this bad boy will keep it cold for a whole 24 hours. Wild, right? Now that days are getting colder here in PA, this can also house some hot cocoa or coffee for a camping trip and keep it piping hot for 12 hours. Super impressive. The bottle itself is solid white except for a delicate palm tree design on front in grey with the S’well logo at the bottom. The bottle is handwash only though, so keep it clear of the dishwasher. This fits comfortably in a car cup holder so it’s perfect for road trips.
Richard Podgurski Jr Print – Listed Retail Value $25.00
What’s a Coastal Co. box without a nod to the beach? This print is from photographer Richard Podgurski Jr and has a really pretty sunny beach scene from a bird’s eye view. Crystal clear blue water is to the left, a sandy beach in the center, and some green trees peek out of the bottom right corner. It comes in a white mat that you can leave as is, or pop it in a frame for more polished wall art. With winter coming, this would make a nice addition to a grim dark office at 5 pm.
Lira Clothing Twin Palms Thermal – Listed Retail Value $45.00
One of the cool things about this subscription is that even though it’s beach-vibes forward if you live in a colder climate (like Pittsburgh), they’ll cater the apparel to your location for the season. Since this is their Fall box, they’ve included a super soft navy thermal shirt from Lira Clothing. Tops can be a tough fit for me since the size completely depends on the style of the shirt. This medium is a bit on the tight side for me, but it will make a great layering piece or I can wear this to bed once my house becomes freezing at night. It’s more lightweight so it’s not too thick that it will have me sweating. There’s a small embroidered double palm tree detail on the chest in white that lends a little flair.
Formulary Bath Fizzy Sparkling Bath Tablet in Sea Salt & Lavender – Retail Value $6.00
I thought this was soap at first but upon further inspection saw that it was a “bath fizzy”. I am a huge fan of anything I can soak in the tub with and this sea salt & lavender scent is just the ticket on a crisp Fall evening. Although a little crumbly, this cube of fizziness is 2-inches squared and will surely fill my whole second floor with wonderful smelling aromas. I also really love the packaging which makes it feel like a luxury item purchased in a boutique.
Knotty Tropical Lapel Pin – Retail value $9.00
The last piece this season is a cute little enamel pin of a green palm leaf. It certainly fits the palm tree theme that ran throughout the box and just like the palm trees on the thermal will add a bit a flair to a jean jacket.
Verdict: I didn’t love this season’s Coastal Co. box as much as the first, but the value is certainly great for totaling $320.00 retail for the $103.95 cost. I appreciate the change in the items received due to the season and think the watch is a super wonderful item. I’ll get the most use out of the water bottle and bath fizzy while the thermal will probably come in handy to wear under a short sleeve shirt in cooler weather. Interested to see what the Winter box will have in store!

MSA Would love to to see a review for the winter box!!!
Are you reviewing the winter box as well?
Does anyone know when spoilers are going to be revealed for the winter box? 😁
There’s a teaser picture of the whole box on their website!
I would love to know this too. Hoping it’s just a amazing as the fall box
I have the rose gold watch.
Does anyone want to trade, I’d prefer the silver or black.
I received the rose gold watch but would prefer the black or silver. Does anyone want to trade?
💜I originally received a rose gold watch, when I reviewed the box I mentioned I would have rather had the black or silver as I don’t wear gold. They contacted me, sent me a silver watch and a package to mail my rose gold one back for free. Just dropped it in the blue mailbox. Easy Peasy! Super pleased with this box! Can’t wait till winter! ( that how I found this thread, looking for winter spoilers)

I still have not received my box, they keep claiming its on the way!
I just got my box and love everything! I got the rose gold watch, the only one I didn’t want. If anyone wants to swap for any other color email me at megantolley at hotmail dot com. It’s still wrapped in the original packaging
I received a gold and silver one and would love to trade for a rose gold one
Hi! I did a search for Coastal Co. and found your blog! I just received my Fall Box today, and received the black Nixon watch. Any chance you would be interested in trading your silver one for my black one? If you are interested in doing that, I’m sure we could find a way to swap even if we don’t live in the same area! 🙂
This box is cute. I do like it but I’m not sure I would spend $100 for it. I see the watch is $200 RV but I’m just not sure. I will keep an eye out for future boxes for sure
Just got my box and super impressed yet again! Just what I would want in a beach inspired box for Fall. Glad the items make sense for the season, but still stay true to the coastal theme which is why I signed up! I couldn’t believe the quality of the Nixon watch– absolutely LOVE it. Thermal is a great transitional piece and love the design of the water bottle. Those items alone well exceeded my expectations. Also, received a sample of Pirette fragrance oil, which smells AMAZING… there is a code with a discount to buy full size and I already ordered one! So cool to discover new brands. Really happy I found Coastal Co, my favorite Subscription Box by far… can’t wait for Winter!
I love most of the items….. but Swell water bottles do not end up keeping items cold for 24 hours unless you fill it to the top with ice and do not open it the full 24 hours to take a sip. And the watch would be a complete miss for me. Is there any section that you could say….no water bottles and no watches?
I do believe, like Yeti, that you have to pre-chill the vessel before filling it up in order to get that “24 hours cold” guarantee. But it does work.
I’m super excited to receive my Fall box and to see what items I received! I especially hope that I receive the watch in either silver or black and not rose gold. I wish that they would have allowed subscribers to select their watch color since this is such a large part of the value in this box. I had emailed their customer service several weeks ago when they released the watch as a spoiler to see if I could select my color, but was told that this wasn’t an option so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!
Hi Kris! I agree, it would have been great if we could choose our watch color. I just got my box today and got the black one. I was hoping for silver. If there’s any chance you got silver and want to swap, please let me know! 🙂 Thanks!
Wow what a gorgeous box! I am definitely signing up for this one!
I got this box too (my first from them) and I really liked everything. My shirt was brown, and I really love it. It’s super comfortable and it fits awesomely. I think the fit makes up the RV for me, as it looked kinda small when I pulled it out. The perfume oil smells awesome, it’s definitely something I’d purchase full-size.
Nixon is a brand that’s often found in surf/skate type retail shops so I can definitely see why they included this brand in their box. My fiance and I are big fans of Nixon. I have 3 of their watches, and he has about 6.
Great box this season!
