This is the second BatBox I've gotten. I had skipped December but I definitely wanted to get January's Iconic Austin box. I had also seen some spoilers on Instagram and they looked pretty great. This box offers local brands and products from local artisans that Austin can be proud of. Austin is a city that's always intrigued me so these boxes are fun for someone like me, who's never actually been there. |
Each box comes with a piece of paper describing the theme, the meaning behind it and why it was chosen. Also there's an enveloped of "SWAG!" in each box that contains stickers and other goodies from local business and artists. I really like that this box is a way for lesser known talent to get some more exposure around the country. |
I've actually gotten this BBQ sauce in another box, but we really enjoyed it so I'm okay with getting more. I don't know how much I'll like smokey mesquite, but I usually like any kind of BBQ sauce. | While I definitely appreciate the custom design, exclusive for BatBox, these earrings are a little too big for me. I normally wear a more subtle size or design. I do like the look of them so I think I'll just display them somewhere. I also like that they're made from birchwood - it gives them a natural look that I like a lot. |
This was the first spoiler I saw when they announced the theme of the box. I instantly got really excited because I have been wanting to go to the Alamo Drafthouse about an hour from me for a while now. Now I have the perfect excuse to go! People who don't have one near them received Cornucopia Popcorn Movie Mix in their boxes instead. |
This item isn't listed on the card, so I think it's just a bonus item to munch on while enjoying the rest of the box. | I don't know much about Eric Johnson, except that he's an amazing guitarist and I have Cliffs of Dover on my ipod. I think I'll put this on my ipod and then send it to my stepdad. |
