Quirky Crate October 2020 Review
Quirky Crate samples one item from a featured artist or brand each month. This month features the designer, Maureen Vázquez, and her company Pipsticks Sticker Club. This info card gives you some insight into Maureen and her company as well as some social media info.
On the flipside, Quirky Crate includes an itemized list of each product and its value. This month's theme is "Taco 'Bout Happy Mail"!
Time to get quirky!

Primitives by Kathy Pizza Socks - Retail Value $10.95
This month seems to have an overall food theme, not just tacos, even though that purse definitely steals the show. Quirky Crate‘s socks are always unique and have been easy conversation starters in the past. It is always fun to mix up a stuffy work look with some jazzy socks, especially cheesy ones like this pair from Primitives by Kathy. They read "I like pizza as more than a friend," and they feature a devilishly handsome pizza man (or is it man pizza?) at the top. These socks are medium-thick and fit my size 7.5 feet perfectly.

Pipsticks Stickers - Retail Value $3.00
Stickers have been a passion of mine since I was a ten year old, sick with mono, and my aunt bought me a few sheets of stickers to cheer me up; I always get very excited to see stickers in subscription boxes because they always manage to have that same effect on me. The sheet from Pipsticks, this month's featured brand, has a cute "Brunch Club" theme with rose gold foil accents and a few random tidbits, the teabag being my favorite. These stickers are on a clear backing and come with a sticker manifesto all of us sticker lovers should try to live by.

Taco Purse - Listed Value $35.00
Quirky Crate really outdid themselves with this month's purse. It's a taco adorned with the traditional American toppings of cheese, lettuce and tomato. It is bigger than the bags we are usually sent, and it comes with a chain strap, although I prefer to use this type of bag as a clutch. The faux leather details are a crack up, and even though I love my other quirky bags, this one might be too much, even for me. I would still use this as a travel makeup bag, but I am most likely going to gift or donate this find.

Sushi Pen - Listed Value $3.75
I love the fine tip on this adorable sushi pen! It is perfect for when you have little space to squeeze in some notes; the fine tip also helps you keep your writing legible, which is hard for me at times. It writes smoothly and is slim, so it fits comfortably in my hand. I'd prefer it if this were a click pen so there wasn't the risk of losing your cutesy sushi cap, but other than that, it checks all of the boxes for me.

True Love Enamel Pin - Listed Value $10.00
My sister has an intimate relationship with pizza, so I am definitely putting this in her stocking this Christmas, even though I am tempted to keep it for my collection. The bright colors and metallic silver accents make this pin unique and fun to look at. It would also make a great tattoo if you're serious about your love for pizza.

Egg Beret - Listed Value $25.00
Here is another example of QC going hard! This sunny side up beret is really funny, cute, and original, but I just don't see myself wearing it out. The material feels like wool; it would definitely keep your head warm for the fall and winter months.
I think my little model felt the same way I do about this silly hat.

Farmers Market Tote - Listed Value $5.00
No matter where I go, I am always equipped with several reusable bags. You never know when you'll need one, and I've never regretted being armed with a few when I leave the house. This net bag is perfect for produce shopping at the grocery store. It is big enough to fit my order of fruits and veggies but small enough that I won’t overfill and crush anything. I also love the hot pink color, which will be easy to find in my trunk or backseat.
The Verdict: October's Quirky Crate was definitely quirky to the max. It wasn't my favorite assortment of products from QC, but I thought the food flair was really cute; I am also excited to gift the pin and beret this holiday season. The total value of this box adds up to $92.70, over double the $36.95 + $8.50 shipping subscription cost. Out of all of my many subscriptions, I have the most fun unboxing QC, making it worth every penny each month.
