I am so happy that there are so many subscription boxes coming out that aim at female geeks! It’s about time, in my opinion. Like most subscription boxes, FanMail will have a different theme every month and cater to the fashionable, yet geeky female. It is $21.99/month & usually comes chock-ful of goodies retailing at about $50 – what a deal! So what came in this month’s Fantasy box?
Well, a whole bunch of stuff did!!! The box was full of goodies, including a wedding invite to the purple wedding from Game of Thrones (who wants to be my +1?), a Toothless t-shirt from How To Train Your Dragon, Sorceror’s Stone Soap (which I’m sure will make you all sorts of magical), a gorgeous Legend of Zelda Hyrule Royal Crest necklace, Harry Potter nail decals and button, Thranduil spider brooch from The Hobbit & a couple of character pins from Once Upon a Time & Lord of the Rings.
I told you it was packed with geekery! I personally loved this box and thought that for the price, you really got a lot to choose from. Not only quantity matters, of course. I’ve reviewed other, more well-known boxes, and have been disappointed at their “filler junk.” What I liked about this box was that it had a lot of quality items that fit a broad spectrum of fandoms. For example, I’m not a Zelda fan, but my best friend is so I am going to gift her the necklace. However, every other item in this box fits my interests perfectly and they are not items I’m just going to toss. The Thranduil brooch is drop dead gorgeous, I love the pamper myself in the bath so the soap will definitely be used, I’m a nail art addict so I’m beyond excited with the decals and I love me a good dragon tee (in fact, I already wore this one to Florida Supercon a couple of weeks ago)!
Lastly, I loved the little added feature of a list of geeky media (movies, TV shows, comics) that you should check out for the month to stay up to date on all things fandom. How cool is that? I honestly can’t wait for what they will have in store for their members this month with a fun theme like Out of This World! Interested? Make sure to sign up – spots are filling up quickly!
