May Fancy Box Review (Original)

The Fancy Box is one of the many subscriptions owned by the Fancy right now.  But this is the original subscription, and it works a little different than all the other ones.  First of all, it is a universal box in the sense that essentially anyone can subscribe. This is because when you first subscribe, they give you a list of categories to check off.  You can check off as many categories as you please, some include: men's, kids, home, gadgets, and media.  Then there is an option to add any special notes. And then you have your own customized subscription

If anyone is wondering, for this box, I choose Men's, Gadgets, and Home for my categories. 

Like all fancy boxes, this costs $39 a month plus shipping.  I am not sure if the coupon 20OFF16 is working, so someone please tell me in the comments!

 This box came in a darker green than usual.
F@#K the Time Watch ($95)- Holy moly, this watch was like double the cost of the box! That always makes me happy. As for the watch, it is OK. I think it is kind of ironic to say eff the time on a watch, but that is probably the humor in it. It isn't to explicit because you can't really read it from far away which is nice.

Milo Micro-Suction Smartphone Stand ($18)- This seems like a pretty high quality stand.  I haven't bought one of these yet, so that is awesome! I think this would be perfect when cooking while reading off a recipe!

Mizu Fancy Water Bottle ($18)- I was relieved when I read that this was dishwasher safe, because I HATE washing bottles by hand. This also seems really high quality. It sure will get a lot of use, since I am in need of water bottles since mine are constantly breaking.

Selection Decanting Pourer ($13)- This little gadget aerates your wine. I gave this to my father and he loves it! So I am happy this didn't go to waste.

The total value of this box is about $144! Holy value gods! This is one of the highest values I've ever received in a box. And most of the items will be used. When I choose the men's category, I was scared of getting just pocket squares and ultra-bright socks and stuff. This stuff is perfect and I can see how it would fit into all the three categories I choose!  And it seems that I received a completely different box from everyone else this month, even the people that choose the same categories. So when I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised to see a bunch of things I'd never seen before! 

Verdict: Awesome box! All fancy subscriptions are seemingly getting more awesome.
