Today was meant to be a craft post, but I've really only been working on my Sophie's Universe, which is currently blocking (again) after completing round 88. Here's a little sneak peak for the curious...
So I thought I'd share our Loot Crate for this month of April!
This was the first Loot Crate we've received and unfortunately it wasn't the best way to start. We watched lots of other Aussies get theirs from about mid-April while ours only arrived on Friday. Whether this is the fault of Loot Crate or Australia Post, there's really no way of telling since our tracking number didn't work.
Moving on to the box itself, the theme this (or last) month was Fantasy - a big part of why we ordered it in the first place. This box definitely hit it's mark with us.
Obviously this big item in this box is the shirt. It's very red. Go and stand in the street and direct traffic red. It's fortunate that we ordered it in husband's size and not mine - I could not wear a shirt that red. The design is pretty cool - if you can't tell from the shirt, it's a dragon-ampersand.
This is one of my favourite items from the box - a Harry Potter bag tag. It's surprisingly large - maybe the width of my coffee mug - and made of rubber. I'm now really excited to attach it to my suitcase for my Sydney trip!
Yep - it's a bowtie covered in dragons and dice. There's a picture in the booklet of a woman wearing it as a hair bow and I think that may be the preferable option, though husband promises that'll be his go-to next time we have to attend an event. Yikes.
This is definitely the silliest, most useless thing in the box. It was also very difficult to photograph. Really, who needs an inflatable crown? Husband is quite taken with it though so maybe I just don't get it.
My other favourites from the box - Game of Thrones magnets and a House Stark flash drive. It's only 4GB but it's so cute that I don't mind at all.
Finally, it's a Princess Bride deck of cards, a film which I've never seen (I know, travesty of the century). The designs are gorgeous and the cards themselves are very high quality.
For those people who will notice a few extra things in the first picture that I didn't photograph - there's also a badge (button, pin, whatever you call it in your respective country), the box itself, which is full reversal with a fantasy theme (shown) on one side and the standard Loot Crate box on the other, and the book detailing the items in the box and a few other bits and bobs.
Overall, we're very pleased with what we received this month and it has prompted us to opt for a three-month subscription despite the delivery issues we experienced.
Did you receive Loot Crate (or any other subscription box) this month? What was your favourite item?
