I do not write too many personal reviews. In my opinion, everyone has the right to decide if a product is right for you or not. With that being said, I am a fan of subscription boxes. The monthly or bi-monthly crates are filled with various items. Depending on your personal tastes, a crate may contain beauty items, food from around the globe, movie memorabilia, and much more. The best aspect of these crates, you never know what is inside. The crates are a pleasant monthly surprise.
Today’s crate just made me smile from first glance to viewing the final product. So I just had to share my excitement with all of you.
First, sneak peek…I admit I opened this one slowly. I took pictures as I pulled out each item.
T-shirts are always part of these Wizardy Geek Gear boxes. I absolutely love getting a new t-shirt every month. Of course, my t-shirt collection is growing more than I could ever wear in a year. The August box contains an exclusive beasts t-shirt.
Love this shirt!
Other items in this box include:
Cornish Pixies Tea
I love loose tea. I was so happy when Geek Gear started putting teas in the monthly boxes.Living in Michigan, I can never have too many socks. Michigan winters can get really cold.
A new mug…
So exciting, this is my first Gringotts Mug. I cannot wait to add this to my collection.
A bright new print…
Licensed and exclusive, the print will look great on my bedroom wall.
I was so happy to see a wand in this month’s box. I love the Geek Gear wands. Each is uniquely made and durable.
The wand’s specifications.I love the skeleton wand. Reminds me of my favorite holiday, Halloween.
Saving the best for last, the signed owl art poster was my favorite in the August Wizardry Geek Gear Box. I just love this print. I am actually going to hang the poster in my living room.
So my overall review of the August Geek Gear Wizardry Box is 4-stars, my highest rating. I felt like my birthday or Christmas came early today.
