Two days- two unboxings!


LootCrate:
Type: Gamer Box
Cost: $13.37/month + $6 shipping
What is it?: Each month you receive 6-8 hand-picked products as well as having the option to win a $250 mega crate. This box is curated around a "geeky theme" helping you stay up all night playing video/computer games and show your gaming love to the world. This is my bf's box but we will be joint-reviewing it on the site. Use our referral link and put in coupon code 10K for $4 off.





This is our (CJ's) first Loot Crate and so we had no idea what to expect.


Marvel Workmans Carry All: 
Marvel- $9.33
First up is an awesome lunch tin. Yes- I said awesome. How cool is a real-life lunch tin (or carry-all)? Spider-Man isn't my fav but I was still kind of jealous and wish it was mine. Looks like they sent out a Marvel Carry All aka others may have gotten other things. CJ will probably end up putting toys in it- yep toys- like Legos or something- idk. He's my geeky bf and I love him.


 I have to say I love that everything was packed up in the tin- it is so cute!


Translucent 7 Dice RPG Set:
Awesomedice.com+Chessex- $5.50
So, CJ's super geeky days (yes RPG included) are in the middle school/high school past but I think he was still excited to get these. The card talks about using them as real-life decision makers and CJ was saying it will be our new "who picks where we eat dinner" decider...

8 Bit Zombie Power Pack:
8BitZombie.com- $10
These were really different but we loved the idea. Combining a popular topic-zombies-with an 80's theme- excellent. Their website start page is in 8 bit too- nice follow-through on a theme. CJ had a corkboard where he puts stickers up (from breweries, companies, etc.) so he is gonna put these up there.

2 buttons + 5 stickers

Hello Panda Chocolate Deliciousness:
Meiji- $5.83
Yes! I loved these things when I was a kid! So excited to try them again- CJ tore into them right away! I am avoiding chocolate since I have a big show tomorrow (no acid reflux for me) but this will be a treat for us, for sure! We both loved the nostalgia we got immediately after seeing these.

Yummy, yummy, yummy!

Verdict: All totaled these products were roughly $30.66- compare that to the $19.37 the box costs and this seems like a good deal! LootCrate is definitely about the products though and not the savings- it is about embracing the inner geek (or outer geek as it may be) and discovering cool and new products. My boyfriend loved this box mainly because it was so great to see such unexpected products. This is really a box where you have no idea what to expect which makes it a great treat to get in the mail!
