Geek Gear World of Wizardry October 2018 Review
In each box from Geek Gear, you’ll find a handy booklet listing all of the products inside! In addition to the products, you will also find a clue for an item in next month’s box and a “Subscriber Spotlight” featuring a community member.
Recipes: Spider Roast and Berry & Mascarpone Pies
Well, that spider roast recipe looks absolutely creepy, even if the ingredients list sounds like a nicely seasoned meatloaf. I’m going to side with Ron Weasley on this one and avoid at all costs. The berry & mascarpone hand pies look delicious, but they are also a bit ambitious with a handmade crust- think I could make this work with pre-made pie crust? While I love to cook and am pretty sufficient, baking has never been my forte.
Exclusive Basilisk Fang – Listed Value $15.36 (£11.99)
This really is a collector’s item for the Harry Potter fans out there – and it’s a unique one too, as I haven’t seen a replica basilisk fang before! If having memorabilia like this is your thing, I think you’ll be happy to have seen this in your box. I really liked the packaging of this, too—it’s a small thing, but the sticker depicting the Chamber of Secrets logo on the front is a nice touch.
Harry Potter NanoFig – Listed Value $6.39 (£4.99)
I received a tiny Ron Weasley from HP7, and he really is nano- he isn’t much taller than a bottle of nail polish. I think he will be right at home on the shelving where I keep my nail polish and various bobbleheads of baseball players.
Licensed Exclusive WANTED Bellatrix Lestrange Print – Listed Value $12.80 (£9.99)
I think this is my favorite item in the box- it is so neat! The craftsmanship is high, and the poster is actually encased in a wooden frame with a nice weight to it. This would be a great addition to the décor of any Harry Potter fans (I think it would make a nice contrast in a room that was designed in soft pinks and greys).
Exclusive Wizardry Scarf – Listed Value $19.21 (£14.99)
Now that it is officially cold weather I can totally get behind sending scarves, especially House scarves! Unfortunately, this fell a little flat for me—it isn’t really long enough to actually be worn as a scarf.
There is only enough length to wrap it around my neck once, and it isn’t bulky enough for one wrap to keep me sufficiently warm.
Exclusive Wizardry T-shirt – Listed Value $12.80 (£9.99)
I have a lot of anger with this shirt- I have lost some weight, and I was excited to try this shirt on (which was selected in my normal size) and see how it fit. I could not even get this over my arms, that is how tight this shirt is. I ended up giving it to a friend who wears a small in t-shirts, and she said it fit her the way a large would fit her (which definitely isn’t the size I need). I like the phoenix design of this shirt, I only wish I could have worn it.
Verdict: This was a well-curated box for the Harry Potter fan out there, but I was disappointed with the scarf and shirt this month. I really am impressed with the Bellatrix print, however, and that alone holds a lot of personal value that made this box an overall success for me. If wizardry is your thing, I think the value is there – especially due to the exclusive private label nature of the merchandise included in this subscription.
