Wjat so you think? Does this make up your mimd about signing up??
As if this is actually a spoiler to anyone - Loot Crate announced some things we can expect to see in October's FEAR crate! SHOCKINGLY there will be exclusive Walkimg Dead items! They've also announced that there will be exclusive Capcom items as well. I would imagine this might be something having to do with Resident Evil? I'm sure I'll like the WD item but I don't believe I've be ever played any Capcom games. Wjat so you think? Does this make up your mimd about signing up??

I just love their packaging. Plus, one of my favorite things is that they list all the items included on a makeshift plane ticket! So clever.
As cute as these would be holding salt and sugar, if I had sugar out for too long I'd have an ant infestation, so these will go in my bathroom. I already have a bunch of shells around my bathroom sink so these will be a lovely addition. Plus they're gold! These shells were picked up along a little island in Charleston Harbor. This was a really adorable box this month and it really does scream southern hospitality and the laid back lifestyle they're known for. All the items were very charming and elegant with comfort in mind. I thought the curation was really great.
I'm really sad that I only have 1 more Hazel Lane Deluxe box before I have to say goodbye! :( I'll definitely miss this one when it's gone - but I do have one more month left so I'll be back to let you all know where we're traveling to in October! If you'd like to sign up, there are several different subscription options to choose from:
Head over to www.hazelln.com to check out your options! >>--> Kelli <--<< "This month is all about the spooky, creepy and scary parts of your favorite geek & gaming franchises. October’s crate will be packed with scare-iffic coolness, including exclusive items you won’t find anywhere else. And that’s not all: Anticipate the return of a t-shirt to join several other epic items within our FEAR crate! We’re DEAD-icated to delivering an awesome crate this month." I can't say I'm surprised since this is October, there had to be a Halloween related theme! I actually haven't decided if I'll be getting this one or not. The fact that it includes a t shirt is definitely incentive because they usually alone cover the cost of the box. I'll think about it but I think this will be a good one for sure!

Key Chain, wristlet - $10 https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrooklynLoveDesigns Handmade fabric key fob made with high quality 100% cotton fabrics . Easily fits around wrist for a convenient way to keep car keys handy. Made with 100% Cotton designer fabrics this wristlet is soft and comfortable to wear around your wrist. Key fob is also reinforced with interfacing for stability. Wristlet band is 1"wide and 10" long forming a 5" loop with nickel hardware I think this is really cute and I'm sure I'll end up using it. I like the pattern and the feel of it. Suny Island Blu - Island Chic Body Lotion - 2 oz ($12 for 8 oz) http://sunyislandblu.com/ One 8 oz bottle with flip top cap. ~Our body lotion is the perfect mix of skin loving oils, soothing aloe vera and moisturizing shea butter. Not to heavy, it sinks in beautifully and leaves your skin soft with out feeling greasy or sticky. ~Paraben Free ~No Mineral Oil or Dyes ~Vegan Friendly I was really happy to get some of this body lotion. I've been eyeing all of the different scents on the Suny Island Blu site but just didn't want to pay that much in case I didn't like it. It feels and smells delicious! Hive Shaped Beeswax Candle - $3 https://www.etsy.com/shop/honeyrunfarm This is a pure beeswax candle approximately 2" tall and 1.75 ounces of beeswax, shaped like a beehive. Beeswax has an aroma that is wholly natural and burns longer, cleaner, and brighter than other types of candles. These candles are unscented, featuring only the clean, natural, sweet aroma of pure beeswax and honey as it is harvested from our beehives. The beeswax is harvested as part of our honey extraction process during the summer, and is later cleaned, melted down, and poured into molds to create these beautiful little candles. From what I could tell, I think these free shipping boxes might have been made up of previous month's items because it's not the true September box. There was no description card in the box like there normally is, which is another indicator that it's a limited box that is most likely depleting old inventory. Even so, I like the items that I got. I looked back at June's box and it had the key chain and the candle and that was it, so I'm ahead of the game by getting the lotion too and free shipping!

The first item in October's box is... A limited edition Deadpool figure!! I'm excited about this because I'm trying to get more into Deadpool. My roommate always talks about how funny he is and we have a few comic books. I'm sure this figure will be a welcome addition to our collection! What do you think of the first spoiler??

>>--> Kelli <--<< I know I've posted a lot about Nerd Block lately but we might have some more sneak peeks of Kevin Smith's selections! Now, I can't guarantee these at all reflect what will be in the box, but I have to share what I can with you all. Nerd Block has been posting these everday and I can't imagine they'll stop at all before the subscriptions close for October, so it could be arbitrary but they could also be what to look forward to! What do you think of these possible teasers?? Who are you looking forward to seeing included?

Overall - definitely not impressed this month. I'm pretty much banking on Kevin Smith making next month AWESOME because I would have cancelled my subscription after this one. I'm actually really excited about monthly themes. Although, it didn't really help that I knew what to expect this month because the items themselves just really didn't cut it for me. I was really excited about GotG and TMNT.
This box costs $19.99 (+$9.50 shipping) and I received about $55.00 worth of items (about $65.00 including the extra T-shirt) which is a great value, but I feel like they could have picked way better items for the Classic box. I really felt like this was a Jr. box by accident. Judging by the comments on their facebook page, I'm not the only one that was really let down by this month. Did you like this month's box? Are you looking forward to next month and themes to start in January? If you'd like to see what Kevin Smith will pick for his COLLIDE: MARVEL VS. DC COMICS theme next month, make sure you get your subscriptions in by October 15th! Head over to www.nerdblock.com and sign up! >>--> Kelli <--<<
COLLIDE - MARVEL VS. DC COMICS! I would expect nothing less from a Comic Book Man! I'm extremely excited for this box! My roommate and I are hooked on comic books and anything with the 'vs.' type storyline always catches our eye so this will most likely be a huge hit in our house. This box will be a taste test for the coming monthly themes due to arrive in January 2015. I thought I was excited when I heard Kevin Smith was picking the items but no one can carry this theme better than him! Themes are already becoming a big topic for debate among Nerd Block subscribers but I think they're off to a great start with this one. What do you think?? Are you excited for themed boxes? If you'd like to sign up, subscriptions are now open for October. Head over to www.nerdblock.com to sign up! Subscriptions are only $19.99 + shipping ($9.50 for international subscribers - they're based in Canada)
>>--> Kelli <--<< As more and more subscription boxes are catering to the millions of nerds of the world, Nerd Block has heard comments and requests and THEMES are coming January 2015! Especially with their recent launch of Arcade Block and Horror Block, they've noticed that the original Classic Nerd Block may have lost its identity. And as I've said before, Kevin Smith will be selecting the theme and items included in October's Nerd Block! Very, very excited for this one! I think Kevin will do a great job! October's theme will be announced tomorrow, October 22nd, so stay tuned for that announcement here!
I may have said this before, but with this new change, I'll say it again. Any box that has themes that are announced ahead of time - I think should have an option to skip-a-month. I think that's a vital part of this type of box. Much like Loot Crate, if you don't like the theme that most, if not all, items will be based around, you probably won't like that box! You should be able to easily skip a month without having to cancel/reactivate/cancel/reactivate your subscription. So I hope they will initiate this type of subscription option in the future! I think they're subscribers will really appreciate it - and I doubt it will lose them any money in the long run. The convenience of it alone will keep people from just cancelling outright. Make sure you get your subscription in for October to receive items handpicked by Kevin Smith! Head over to www.nerdblock.com now! Boxes are only $19.99 plus shipping ($9.50 for international subscribers - they are based in Canada) What do you think of Nerd Block adding themes? Do you think they should let subscribers skip themes they may not like? >>--> Kelli <--<<
The Quantum Mechanix website has a brown Tribble listed but this is an exclusive Looter edition! The packaging says "This Tribble was bred exclusively for Loot Crate. Its color and package are unique and only available to Looters" as well as warnings to "Keep out of reach of Klingons", "Do not block ventilation grill" and "Please do not feed." I like all the exclusive stuff Loot Crate gets their hands on! It really adds to the value of the items we receive (like the LC exclusive Groot we got last month!) I know subscribers really appreciate their items feeling special! I don't know a lot about Star Trek, to be honest, but I DO know about Tribbles! This is one item I like!
ALSO - they've done it again with their awesome box designs! Mal fits in perfectly with the loading bay of Serenity! And I Spy a little R2-D2 in there (which, hello - would be awesome!) Very well done, LC! This is a really great one this month! I'm so glad they finally included Firefly! I actually really like most of the items I got so I'm very pleased. This box costs $13.37 + $6.00 shipping and this one had a total retail value of at least $60.00!! That's an incredible value - and this box was actually the most PACKED I've ever seen with a total of EIGHT items! They've been doing a great job with getting awesome exclusive items to set them apart from every other piece of memorabilia around and we definitely appreciate it!
