L.O.L. Surprise! "Holiday Chillin'" Winter 2019 Review
The fun thing about this subscription is that everything comes wrapped up in these little bags so it's all a mystery until you open it up. This is certainly exciting!

Part of the fun is choosing which bag to open first!

L.O.L. Hat
This hat is so cute and very nicely made! I love the texture on the main part of the hat and those cute poms make it really fun, too! I like that they kept the L.O.L. doll face subtle.
She loved it and kept it on while we opened everything else!

Our second package had another surprise inside!

L.O.L. Blanket in a Pouch
First, she opened up to find this pink pouch with the same L.O.L. face as her hat, then once she unzipped it, she discovered a soft blanket inside.

This fleecy blanket has some cute snowflakes and L.O.L. girls on it and is made from 100% polyester. It's a thin blanket and just big enough for a kid to get cozy under. She is holding it up here and it goes above her head and she is just about 4' tall to give you a sense of scale.

L.O.L. Pin
Next up we had a smaller item which was this cute pink pin.

L.O.L. Boot Cuffs
These boot cuffs are such a unique item and something I never would have thought about before. Once I explained what they were and how they worked, she was so excited to put them on her boots and she declared she would never take them off!

Here they are on. They add a fun pop of pink and can help keep her warm in her boots!

L.O.L. recently changed their sizing and we ordered a 6/7 for my daughter. Unfortunately, they accidentally sent us a large which was huge on her! Fortunately, they were quick to send us a replacement!

L.O.L. Sweater, size M
This time they sent us a medium, which was still a little big on her. She really should have received a size small, I think, since we ordered the 6/7. Their sizing is 4/5, 6/7, 8, 10/12, and 14/16 so maybe it was just a bit of a mix up since the sizes don't match up to traditional S/M/L? Either way, this one fit her a little big. The sweater is really cute - I love the color and the fuzzy look is so warm and cozy. I also like that the L.O.L. girl is small again making this more of a subtle feature.

While it is a bit big on her, she loves it and thinks it's warm and cozy and perfect for winter. The only thing I was surprised at was that is is hand wash only! I did test it out on a gentle cycle, inside a garment bag and it held up well except for a small section of thread that came out making a hole at the seam, but it looks like it will be a super easy fix thanks to the way it is sewn. I am also not 100% sure that the hole wasn't there before though? I do still feel confident washing it in the machine and will probably stick to that once I fix up the seam. I don't think it's a quality issue, but I really can't be sure! If you receive this box, let me know if you had any issues with your sweater!

L.O.L. Card
This pop-up card was another fun item that she liked. She thought it was fun and while I think the idea might be to give it away, she wants to keep it for her new L.O.L. collection!

L.O.L. Surprise Lils Winter Disco Globe - Retail Value $6.99
These toys are so fun! After unwrapping the first layer there was a little sticker with a clue on it. Then another layer of plastic before we got to our disco ball.
1 of 8
Inside of our ball, there were a ton of tiny items. There were three wrapped items, a little stand, instructions, and some cute stickers.

She was excited to find a cute pink animal inside that changes colors in water!

She also received some fun accessories to go along with it. How cute is it inside of the globe?
Here is everything she received with the toy. She wasted no time adding the cute stickers to her globe!
Verdict: My daughter was so excited for her winter L.O.L. Surprise! Box and the items inside did not disappoint! While the sweater sizing was a bit of an issue, they were quick to fix it, so it really didn't affect our experience. The fact that everything comes wrapped up in bags makes it such a fun experience overall and the items inside felt like decent quality. The boot cuffs were so fun and my daughter really loves her hat. The toy almost feels like a bonus after everything else! I think that $45.00 ($38.00 + $7.00 shipping) feels like a fair cost for such exclusive items from a popular brand. I am also happy that the box arrived before the holidays as promised, even though their fall box was late (which they were completely transparent about).
