Unboxing: Lootcrate - TableTop Special Edition

I LOVE tabletop games. Almost as much as I love playing them, I love watching a certain webseries hosted by Wil Wheaton. Aptly named: TableTop.  

So when the call-to-arms went out that they needed viewers' support to fund their third season, I was definitely in. I donated to their indiegogo campaign at the "Lootcrate" level and waited patiently for the episodes and my box of surprise goodies. 

I was not disappointed by either.  

The goodies!!!

I've been seeing a few people who are disappointed in the box, but I am not at all. I was not "purchasing" a Lootcrate. I gave my money so that there could be a new season of TableTop.  Seriously people, they needed the money for the production. There's no way they could make the contents of the box "equal" to the amount of your DONATION.

Ah well. You can't please everyone. But you can please some. And I was pleased.


You've never seen TableTop and you have no idea what I am going on about? Check out this video from this season where they played my current favourite game: Dead of Winter! (Then check out all the others)

Unboxing: June Kawaii Box

I first heard about Kawaii Box from a post on Twinkie Chan's blog and immediately fell in love.

I am completely enamoured with the concept of subscription boxes. I love getting things in the mail and receiving a box of surprise items each month is THE BEST. Like having a birthday 12 times a year.

I'm always looking for new ones to try out. I've done ipsy for makeup and cancelled it in favour of Nerd Block for geeky related items. I have box commitment issues (and also I can't afford to keep subscribing to all the ones I want). As soon as I saw the Kawaii Box, I promptly cancelled Nerd Block and anxiously awaited the arrival of my box of Japanese and Korean goodies.

The wait is over. And I have photos.

 

When you first open the box, you see a thank you card with a hand written note on the back.

I really don't know how they fit all this stuff in the small box. I sure can't get it back in!

I was not disappointed. I have a feeling this will be a beautiful relationship.... Until the next subscription box catches my eye...
