Fandom of the Month Club Subscription Box Review – November 2015

Disclosure: This box was paid for by me. There is a referral link.  

 

Subscription: Fandom of the Month Club

Cost: $13/month, but with coupon code NEWMEMBER you can save $3 on the first box, but then shipping is $3.29ish, so free shipping!

What to Expect: Every month your high quality, fandom inspired designs will be delivered by owl (or mailman) to your doorstep!

 


 

This post is way late because I could not get the pictures to upload last month and just remembered I hadn’t posted several reviews! Sorry…. On the bright side, this was the one day over the past month where it wasn’t overcast/raining, so I headed outdoors to take pictures!

Anyway, this looked like a neat box and I wanted to try it out. I’m not much of a fangirl of anything, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a dork/nerd! Plus, the stuff I do love [X-Files, Jessica Jones, Orphan Black] aren’t often featured aside from comic books.

I thought I got a tiny OwlCrate box! This came right after I got the OwlCrate November box, so I was confused at first.

love all the fun stuff written all over this box.

A yin and yang pink cake??

Fandom Magnet: This was a fun little inclusion. I threw it up on the fridge right away. The only one I’ve read/watched is wizards–Harry Potter. My mom liked Divergent though, so I’ll probably read that.

Ohhh fancy one year anniversary bag. I put it in my drawer of little sub bags. Doesn’t everyone keep bags and boxes stashed places?? I have a bag of gift bags to reuse…

I might be a hoarder…

tardis doctor who ring

Doctor Who TARDIS Ring: It’s adjustable. I never got into Doctor Who, but nannied for a girl who luuurved it! Probably one of the few things I’ve seen where David Tennant is not super creepy. Can I bring up Jessica Jones again?? It’s seriously so good. I’ve gotten so many people hooked on it… so… go turn on your Netflix and watch!!

Mockingjay Keychain: Very lightweight piece. I think that’s good for your keychain weight. I’ve never seen or read the Hunger Games though.

Post apocalyptic stuff gives me horrible anxiety.

Lost Necklace: It says “NOT PENNYS BOAT” I had to look up what this necklace meant. I never watched Lost, so the reference is lost on me.

I also lack a secret snack trapdoor. Sad taco emoji.

Silver Dragon Earrings: These are super cute! They’re nice and small and I’m guessing they were made for the box. I wish these were real silver so I could wear these!!

Firey blurry close-up!!!

Harry Potter Fandom Bookmark: It looks like the Deathly Hallows symbol, a feather [pen perhaps?], and a golden snitch with wings. I like it, and I’m just guessing it’s a bookmark because there was no note. I tried putting it in a book and I didn’t like what it was doing to the spine, so if anyone has any idea what to do with it let me know!

I love this picture! The moss here looks so pretty.

All together now!

 


 

Verdict: This box wasn’t really for me, but this is a great teen fandom box!! I really like the idea of it, and used to work with teenage girls who would adore this sort of thing. Honestly, if I watched and read these fandoms I’d be jazzed as well. Overall, I think it’s a good price for the contents received. The Harry Potter bookmark and the magnet were the only items I kept, the rest will be given to people who love them!

 

bookshelf

I like how Sub Bella includes a picture of her subscription box from past reviews, so I thought I’d put this in! I noticed my fancy bookshelf was pretty sub-tastic! Soundless from OwlCrate, In the Unlikely Event from PSMH, a teacup from Eucopia [I use it daily now], and my magic HP wand thing!

 

What do you think? Are there any fandoms you follow that you’d want to see in this box? Let us know!

      Julie, are you a Lost fan? I like the little hand, I just don’t get the reference =)

        Spoiler alert in case anyone who hasn’t seen it by now, still decides to watch Lost!

        The survivors initially thought that the boat they could see in the distance was because Penny (Desmond’s girlfriend) was looking for him. And Charlie’s dying message was to try to warn them that the boat wasn’t from Penny so there was the possibility that the passengers’ (of the boat) main goal was not necessarily to save the survivors (or even know about them).

          I tried several times to get into Lost. I feel like if the was a Clif Notes or a book of summations to read after each episode I can do it, oh and not have an army of Pnut people to distract me from binge watching/reading.

          Speaking of binged watching I am excited for the new year which means House of Cards is coming soon! That is one night of bindgewatchi going I can manage!

          I like how this review spawns into other sub-discussions 🙂

            I’m glad it does! I like hearing about people’s binge obsessions =D Haha. The last one I had was Pretty Little Liars earlier this year, and happened to finish right before the new season started. That show really needs to just end… sigh. I kinda feel bad for fans who have been watching it for 6 years dying to know who A was!!!

    I love Lost! And Hunger Games! And Divergent! And Harry Potter! I want you to love them too but now I’m worried those first 3 might give you anxiety… So I’m afraid to encourage you to read / watch them.

    Did you read Soundless yet? It’s on my to-read list.

    • December 16, 2015 at 8:41 pm

      Thanks for the explanation of the Lost reference!! It’s mostly the barren wasteland or fighting for resources that freaks me out. Zombie virus movies are the same.

    The moss picture is pretty. My son would understand most of the references. i would not.

    Just got my Eat24 weekend coupon, and I love their legal text at the bottom! Perfect for this box, haha.
    “We hope your weekend is as exciting as an epic Quidditch duel between The Indominus Rex and Robocop. May the Matrix be with you, boldly, to a wizarding world on the island from Lost.”

    Love this review and I sort of want a pet owl.
