July The Fancy Box Review


Time for my Fancy review! This month I definitely got a little of everything from the different categories... and there was one mishap! It's cleared up now so check out my box and the deets below!



The Fancy:
Type: Lifestyle Box
Cost: $39+$2.95/month for regular box
What is it?: For those who don't know, TheFancy is like pinterest but for products especially cool and amazing items. When you sign up you choose 3 categories from Men's, Women's, Kids, Pets, Home, Gadgets, Media, Sports & Outdoors, and Workspace. You then receive an array of some of the cool items that are on the site. I subscribe to Home, Gadgets, and Men's. The worth is well beyond the $30 it costs and you receive amazing products!  TheFancy also pairs with celebrities to make boxes- Ashton Kutcher's was $45 and currently P!nk has her own box for $35 and a Coco Rocha one. Check it out. Use my referral code to sign up for TheFancy- sign up is free it's like Pinterest. Use code FOLLOWUP10 to save 10% on any Fancy box (celebrity or regular).


Big Blue Fancy Box


First look


First look inside the box- something looks fishy...


Info cards.

I love their info cards- they are the best!


Veggichop X2? Mistake! I got two of this product and zero of another. I contacted their customer service and they righted the wrong right away! I am now getting my missing product sent to me (I could have chosen a $15 gift card instead) and I have an extra veggichop now too! I think I'll give it to a friend!


Veggichop: This awesome product is like a mini chainsaw for your kitchen. You pull the string a few times (like starting your lawnmower/chainsaw) and it finely chops veggies, herbs, nuts, meats, and fruit. We used it to make an awesome pesto the other night! Highly recommend this awesome little tool- it has a lid too so you can use the bowl for storage. Price: $20


Chef'n Burger Machine: This was my missing item. I've kinda always wanted a burger press which is why I opted to receive this product instead of the discount. You make perfect, uniform patties with this bugger. Perfect for summer BBQs. Price: $15


Aqua Pouch Speaker: This strange looking product lets you listen to your phone under water! The case has a speaker to plug into your phone (or iPod) and you can listen while in the shower or at the pool! It's touchscreen friendly and looks awesome! I don't think I would dunk this under water but using it in the shower or poolside sounds perfect for when you want to listen to music but keep your technology dry. 
So fun! Price: $19.99

The Fancy Wayfarer: The info card says, "Be one of the first people to rock these custom made matte black Fancy Wayfarer sunglasses." These men's glasses (we get the Men's category) are amazing. CJ wears regular glasses and rarely wears contacts PLUS he has 8-bit ones from Loot Crate to rock so I tried to claim them. I wear big sunglasses but these super colored lenses are awesome. This pair of sunglasses is really great- I would recommend them to anyone for a fun summer-y pair. Price: $30


Game Day's Moisturizer: This anti-aging moisturizer with SPF will keep you hydrated and clean on the beach or in the office. CJ will use this especially since he isn't me with 300 moisturizer samples in the bathroom. Not the best item in the box but a fun extra. Price: $5.60


Shark Bracelet by Sophie Sparrow: I was excited when I saw the nice pouch but almost laughed out loud when I opened this up. Yeah, right! CJ will never wear this. Totally not his style! It could be a nice reminder to, as Tracy Jordan says, "live every week like it's shark week," but it doesn't quite work. It'd be more BA (as the card suggests) if it wasn't light blue. I thought I could rock it ironically but you can see it's huge when it is pulled as tight as it can be. Price: $20

*CJ could surprise me and wear this since he ended up wearing the F%^k the time watch from another Fancy box (albeit not for work or anything) BUT I think the watch is great and the bracelet, not so much.


Verdict: It seemed like a very pricey month for The Fancy this month but honestly, this box always ends up being chock full of value. This month ended up being worth $110.59 although really I could say $130 since I got an extra $20 for the extra Veggichop due to the mistake. I don't know if I mentioned it before but we changed our sub to Home, Gadgets, and Men's since the Gadgets and Workspace categories were so similar. I love stuff on The Fancy, including the Men's stuff, but now that CJ is getting a few boxes of his own I think I will switch back to Workspace over the Men's category. This month was Man-heavy and while the lotion will be used and I love the men's sunglasses, the bracelet was a little poopy for our tastes. Still a pretty awesome box though!
I wish there was a better Fancy coupon right now since I just purchased some amazing things (I'll share them soon) but for now use my referral code to sign up for TheFancy- sign up is free it's like Pinterest- and use code FOLLOWUP10 to save 10% on any Fancy box (celebrity or regular).
