Quirky Crate December 2020 Review
Quirky Crate samples one item from a featured artist or brand each month. This month features the dynamic duo, Jen Koehl and Chris Uphues, the couple that created Beautiful Days. Chris and Jen work together to create their colorful products ranging from stickers to journals. This info card gives you some insight into them and their background as well as some social media info.
On the flip side of the card, Quirky Crate includes an itemized list of each product and its value. This month's theme is "Glitter and Glam".
Time to get quirky!

Bedazzled Socks - Retail Value $12.00
These socks are much different than any other pair from Quirky Crate, and they are fabulous! So warm and cozy, too! The length is perfect, and I like how tight they are from the ankle up. I can't stand when my socks sag, and luckily, I know I won't have any issues with these falling down.
Did I mention they are bedazzled? These socks make me want to pull out the old Bedazzler and bless more accessories with rainbow bling, but for now, I will just enjoy these.

Beautiful Days Notebook - Retail Value $8.00
I am always happy to see stationary in my sub boxes. This little notebook is perfect for inspo on the go. I always have one handy, and even though I prefer my notebooks with lined paper, this will be less restrictive for my more creative notes and reminders. This month's featured artist, Beautiful Days, designed this little pad.

Lipstick Purse - Listed Value $38.00
Quirky Crate, this is your best bag, yet; I absolutely love this ultra-glamorous bag! This lipstick bullet is perfection; the design is simple, but I think that is what I like about it. It is actually one of my favorite lip colors to wear, and it (the purse and/or lipstick color!) could really glam up any outfit. This month's handbag comes with straps that are a little different, and I definitely like these more than just the usual chain; it gives the purse a more punk, edgy look and doesn't add as much weight to the bag.

Panda Cooling Eye Pads - Listed Value $7.00
I have a few pairs of eye cooling pads, but none of them are this cute. I am disappointed to report that these have actually met their expiration in 2019. When I saw the date on the packaging I rolled my eyes, "how could these possibly expire?", then I reached my fingers into the packaging and recoiled when my fingers came out sticky. Maybe the plastic on the eye pads deteriorates after a certain amount of time, but these are definitely unusable. I reached out to Quirky Crate's customer service; they promptly sent out the replacement item below.

NPW Mermaid Glitter Shell Cooling Eye Pads – Retail Value $12.95 (currently sold out)
The eye pads above were just an oversight and were immediately replaced with these little cuties. I love keeping eye pads in the fridge to rectify late nights and early mornings. After a few minutes of relaxing with these on, my eyes are instantly depuffed and look much better than before.

Glitter Phone Ring - Retail Value $10.00
This cute little heart is handy! It enables me to text more easily with one hand, and the ring turns 360 degrees so I can prop up my phone. I've been looking for an accessory that sticks to my Otterbox phone case, and this may be a keeper! The subtle sparkle would match pretty much any phone or phone case, too.

Disco Ball Enamel Pin - Listed Value $10.00
I am 100% a disco queen, so naturally, I adore this pin. There is no denying the glitz of the 70's disco era, so what a perfect pin for this month's theme of Glitter and Glam. Iridescent sparkle and colorful hearts adorn the front disco ball, and the back requires two pin backs to keep this rather large pin in place. New Years' is quickly approaching, and this will make an amazing accessory at my NYE jammy party in my living room.

Veil Beanie - Listed Value $18.00
I was a little confused, admittedly maybe I still am, about the fit of this hat. I have selfies where the veil is pulled the whole way down past my chin, but I think the pic above is about where it should be. The overall design is very confusing, and when I wear it, I feel like a beekeeper. The veil wraps all around your head, but it just doesn't fall quite right. The beanie is soft and very warm, but I don't think I will be getting much wear out of it.
The Verdict: I really loved mostly all of December's Quirky Crate shipment. I admit I'm totally drawn to bling, so the items with sparkle were my favorites, but I wasn't impressed with the beanie selection or the expired eye pads. The total value of this box adds up to $103, over double the $36.95 + $8.50 shipping subscription cost. Quirky Crate brings out the rainbow-loving, flair-hoarding, accessory-needing nerd in me every month, and I 100% embrace that. It is a fun, treat-yo'self type of subscription, which makes it worth every penny to me.
