Monthly Mystery Box by Jamminbutter April 2018 Box Review
Each month, there's a chance to win a BIG prize. This month's prize was en echo show. Next month, there's a chance to win a Ring video doorbell!
I also got a wine coupon and a few promo cards for related subscriptions and sites in the box.
Joy Mangano Water Filter Kit - Retail Value $12.53
Oh no! I know this kit all too well. I got one in a previous Monthly Mystery Box by Jamminbutter last year, one in a Mini Monthly Mystery Box by Jamminbutter, AND one in a Peaches and Petals box. All of those boxes are under the same umbrella company, so they must be sharing inventory. I guess if you don't subscribe to all three, the repeats won't be such an issue (#reviewerproblems), but it is still a bummer to get two of the same product within a year from the same subscription box. The filter set is meant to help clean up tap water for drinking and includes a bottle and a few spare filters. It's a little clunky to use often, though. So many moving parts to keep track of!
Dry Erase Calendar
This is much more my style! This big magnetic calendar is 12" x 15.5" and has a nice dry erase gloss to it. The month and date boxes are of course blank, so you can use it month to month. There's even a space at the bottom for notes! The calendar comes with two pens (one red and one black) that have magnets on their caps. I love my digital calendars, but nothing's quite like writing something down IRL. It always helps me remember my appointments better!
Light Works 360 Pyramid Lantern
I couldn't find this lantern (which is arguably a cone, not a pyramid) online. It'll be handy for taking out to the patio during evening snacks/conversation. The lamp is small and lightweight at about 7" tall. I wasn't expecting it to be as bright as it is, but those crisp white LEDs really do the trick!
Star Wars Trivia Board Game in Storage Tin - Retail Value $16.99
Yay Star Wars! This board game comes packed inside a cool metal tin, rather than a regular box. There are pieces and pens so that you can ally yourself on teams or go it alone. The game is scored by putting together lightsaber pieces, which can be won or lost. It's a pretty cute setup and the perfect accompaniment for a night with some nerdy friends.
The Verdict: I wish this box had featured anything but that water filter set! It's just such a complicated contraption for doing what my on-faucet filter probably does just fine already. Plus it's a repeat item for this subscription (as well as others from the same company). The other products were cool though—I especially liked the calendar, and the light will come in handy, I'm sure. The game would be a great gift if you didn't feel like keeping it yourself. While I couldn't find prices for every item in the box, the values I did find add up to $29.52, which is already over the cost of the $24.99 box.
