FabFitFun Summer 2021 Box Spoilers: Customization 3 Choices

Did anyone else notice that the choices are choices from previous boxes? The cooler, glasses and towel for example. Make your own bracelet? I didn’t look at the rest because once again, I’m disappointed.

Ok, that Draper James nightie for old ladies =thats ME!!! 😂 Does anyone know if their L/XL size runs small or large & how long is it? I get 2 boxes & for winter I chose 2 robes in L/XL & Plus. I wear XL in US size and guess what? The L/XL didn’t wrap enough up front (so it got gifted to a skinnier friend) & Plus was huge, yet too short for my liking, so that got expropriated by a football offensive lineman (=fridge!) who was thrilled to have post-shower robe that fully wraps, covers his butt & held securely with belt unlike the standard bath towel 😂 And it has a hood & pockets! The envy in the locker room! If I could swap for more of those Plus robes I’d bless the entire O-line! Since I am left without a robe I’m treating myself to a cheerful nightie not to scare people that knock on my door too early in the morning (though it may be my German Shepherd not the nightie 😂)
I really enjoy reading comments as some are so funny that I actually laugh out loud! Y’all stay healthy, safe & sane!

I’m actually pretty excited for the summer box. I have plenty of make up and skin care products, but there are a few products so far that I would use. Just going with dry shampoo for first choice, and the cooler bag for 2nd choice. I’ve been needing a smallish cooler bag for the kids snacks on outings and road trips, so this seems perfect. And My sister just broke her face washing thingy, so 3rd choice is PMD Clean for her 🙂 This summer box is my last annual box, I’m not sure if I will renew.. I have so much stuff that I haven’t gotten to yet.

Baublebar has got to be either kidding or just crazy with that suggested retail price. I’ve seen a lot of plastic bead bracelet kits for kids and this one’s chintzy even by those standards. Don’t get me wrong, I generally love fff and most of the choices. That one just really sticks out like a sore thumb.

I have found the boxes very underwhelming this year… I guess I am the exception based on the comments above but most of the things are of low quality and not worth it IMO and I would never purchase them on a store…
The bauble bar bead making kit is a joke shouldn’t be retailing a penny over $5 it’s cheap plastic beads kids lots have. For $50 you can go to Michael and get way better and cheaper if you want to make your own.
I literally like or need nothing…. the wine tumbler 🤦🏼‍♂️ The bag, the cactus glass last month… I already have two tumblers from them not counting the cactus why does every box need to have one?
The cosmetic selection is also bad… I think I might try Rachel Zoe’s box

These choices are not getting any better. Still hoping for some things that are exciting to me.

Thanks for the detailed info about the spoilers. I have a hard time seeing where we switch from Customization 1 to 2 to 3, etc. because the font is paragraph style. A different graphic layout or some way to set apart (larger font, underline, different color) when you are switching from one customization to another would make your site more accessible to all users.

We have to remember that we aren’t paying retail for these items. If you have an annual you are paying $45 for this box. The last box had 8 items so only $5.60/item. If that bead kit interests you at $5.60 then it’s not a good deal. I think it’s smart to get an annual so you get to choose something in each category. I’m sure we can all find something we’d like that we’d pay under $6 for.

Box 1 (for me): I’m 41 with oily hair and good skin thanks to my liberally applying anything and everything since college. I live in FL with my husband, no kids nor pets. I work from home. This is the last box in my annual subscription and I won’t be renewing. My picks: supergoop sunscreen, OUAI detox hair product and Summer Fridays serum.

Box 2 (for me): I use this box as gifts for my 12 year old niece and to pick up anything the first box didn’t cover. This is the last box in my annual subscription and I won’t be renewing. Baublebar bead kit for my niece, Tarte moisturizer and beach towel for my niece.

I’m curious for the rest of the spoilers. I’m finally at the place in my life where I don’t want nor need all these extras things. I have found my holy grail skincare items and would rather take my FFF budget and spend it on items that I’ll actually use. 🥰🥰🥰

Box 3 (for my sister, I chose her boxes as she likes the surprises): Curl activator for her spirals, Tarte moisturizer and the green neoprene bag as she’s a landscaper.

Fabric wrap, Guac and salsa bowls, pouch, dewy spray, iPhone light and lip balm. Yay!!

I’m curious if anyone else who subscribes to both FFF and beauty boxes (eg Boxy, Ipsy, BeautyFix, etc) feels compelled to choose items other than skincare or hair products for FFF boxes. I will get the Supergoop and Ouai this time (I love a good scalp massager), but I usually default to choosing housewares or accessories from FFF because I can get comparable skincare, body, and hair products from my other subs.

Considering the options, I’m happy they introduced swap for credit… Nothing is wowing me and I’ll get my skin care from allure this month since it’s finally shipping to Canada..

It should be mentioned that the Supergoop sunscreen is ONLY for the US (according to the FFF Instagram.) So unfair! I was actually debating getting a 2nd box because I liked multiple things in Choice 2 especially and thought it would be cool to see what the hype was about with this sunscreen. Only to find out that I can’t even get it because I’m in Canada (EVEN THOUGH Supergoop is sold at Sephora here.)

It’s really unfair for FFF to pick items that excludes subscribers from getting them due to their location. It should be all or nothing. Either everyone can get the items or don’t include it in the box. Why can’t the Canadian and UK versions of the sunscreen be sent out? Especially when we pay more due to the exchange rates and paying for shipping, yet we get shafted.

Some Subscribers: Why do they keep adding ugly, cheap jewelry?

FFF: Build your own.

Lol I was sitting here with my fingers crossed saying “Please be awful please be awful please be awful!” There was nothing I need from choices 1 and 2 and the only things that caught my attention from choice 3 are the Supergoop and the glasses, and I have a ton of great sunscreen already.

Thank you FFF, I can comfortably unsubscribe. Not that the choices are bad, they’re just either not for me or items I already have so I can’t justify getting more. I’m only an incidental FFF subscriber for specific items.

Poolside water resistant pouch is 11.25″ X7″ in case anyone besides me was wondering.

Has anyone tried the Malin & Goetz moisturizer? I love that brand but not familiar with this product.

The Unseen Sunscreen is really good. One of my favorites. It has that velvety, silicone-y feel that some primers have.

I like it, I might resub for this one. Wine chiller, salsa & guac and Corkscicle.,

I’m sorry but for 50 dollars, that bracelet kit better make itself. That is just crazy. I can go on Amazon and find a whole kit for under $30

Wish the tumbler didn’t have a straw. Can it be used without one or does the lid just have a tiny straw hole?

Excited for the supergoop. I love that stuff!

Every day I think “why am I paying $50 for this? This is a bunch of junk I don’t need” and then I look back at previous days and think “how will I narrow down what to select?”

Nothing feels very special or well made, unlike Journeebox where everything feels special and well-made, or Causebox where some things feel special (like the Feed bag) but some of it is just not good quality (the kettles! the robes!). And some of these have that Target clearance section feel. And yet, I know I’ll end up using the items I select or one of the tweens in my life will. 🤷‍♀️

For those who got them last time around, how well have the tie dye towels held up?

Usually summer boxes are my least favorite, but I’m finding more than one item per category that I like.

Most of these products seem like the same old stuff. Moisturizers, hair masks, totes, etc. I actually like most of them, but I guess it’s hard to please everyone while keeping it fresh and also appealing to new subscribers?

Idk. I have such mixed feelings toward FFF overall, but I think they’re doing their best. I met one of the founders at an event and she seemed very genuine. I feel like everyone’s tastes are so different and I don’t envy walking the tightrope between profitability. logistics and pleasing everyone season after season.
