I love surprises. Grab bag type retail situations are my jam.
“Oh, I’m going to give you a bit of money and you’re going to throw a whole bunch of shit into a neat care package and ship it off to me? Yes please! I’ll take two!”
I get bored of the same type of things though, so I’m not exactly an ideal subscription box consumer. As long as I am into everything that I get in my beauty bag, bark box or tyranosaur tote, I’m golden. Send me one shitty batch and I’ll delete my credit card info from your website so fast you won’t be able to say, “Are you sure you want to cancel?”
Sometimes my friends post pictures of their subscription boxes online and I get box envy. There was a neat Loot Crate back last year some time that I ended up over paying for after the fact because I wanted the bullshit inside it so much.
I…don’t even remember what the stuff was at this point, so obviously I should have held onto my money.
My other bookish twitter feed blew up last week because a subscription based service called Book Boyfriend Box sent out subscription box to celebrate the release of the newest volume of The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. The box included a cup with a straw, a tote bag or a pillowcase, a lip balm, a bookmark, a button…and a soap shaped like a dick.
The peen soap came from the etsy shop of Lunar Bazaar and, I mean…it’s cute and all…kind of bachelorette party chic which some people are totally into, no judgement here.
My issue is that the soap came with a suction cup attached to it.
Don’t fuck soap, Peepz. Even if it’s shaped like a dick.
It’s not good for your body’s Ph and it’s a lame way to irritate your naughty bits.
Also, the Lunar Chronicles are a Young Adult book. While the word “adult” is legit in the description, so is the word young. Not really cool for teenage fans of the series that are looking to get some swag. There are absolutely disclaimers on the website saying that some of the Book Boyfriend Boxes are NSFW, so it’s whatever, I guess. This is apparently the first time that they have actually included genitalia in the package though.
Hehehe
Package.
