October Rockettes Fancy Box

Fancy.com produces numerous subscription box options. The particular one that I subscribe to is curated by The Rockettes. 

This box is $39/month plus shipping and handling. 

My October box included things that seemed very "Rockettes."  My only complaint is that they didn't include a description card and they used a box four times bigger than they needed to. 

The first thing I pulled out was this glove and hat set from EchoDesign. 


I think that this is cute, but I don't wear hats, so this will be posted on eDivv. Value is about $40 going by what other hats cost on the EchoDesign website. This exact set isn't available online. 


These tattoos are the next thing I pulled out. I haven't tried the trend of adult temporary tattoos, but these might be cute to try. I'll be keeping them for now. Value is $8. 


This bracelet from Lyndy & Lou was neat to pull out. This is the kind of bracelet that loops around your middle finger and the around your wrist. Although it's not my style and will end up on eDivv, I'm still excited about a cute Etsy artist coming in this box. 



The last thing in my fancy box was this bun pin. I do put my hair in a bun pretty frequently for work, but I don't see myself wearing this. It's really cute but just too big for me.  I think it would be like wearing a tiara. So again, going up on eDivv. 

Overall, the Rockettes Fancy Box is a good one. The value is there, and although I'm trading most of the box, I still call it a keeper.


October Pennie Post

While I was gone over the weekend, my October Pennie Post came in the mail!

Pennie Post costs $11/month and sends you 3 stationary items each month. This was my first month of Pennie Post.

The goodies came packaged in an envelope and then inside of a plastic sleeve within the envelope.


This month I received three cards.


I think all of these care are really cute. The candy-themed one is perfect for Halloween but would also work during another time of the year.  The "Hot Dog!" card is made of some kind of wood. It's light enough that I can probably use regular postage, but it's neat to have a card made of unique material. The "Trick of Treat" card is super cute. I just need to find someone to send a card to. Maybe S can use it to draw a picture in and send to someone.

I definetly will continue to subscribe to Pennie Post. I love all three of these cards and can't wait to see next month's designs.
