I think most people are used to beauty and now food subscription boxes (the Degusta box is amazing) but I haven't seen any other subscription boxes until now. My Geek Box is a subscription box service focused on TV, film and video games and all things geeky *which I'm loving* so buying a subscription or one off box would be an amazing, unique and unexpected christmas gift!
I received the *My Geek Box: October/Afterlight (£19.99) which is based around all things halloween as it is the October box. This box is a one off and a 'special' box as far as I know but it is still available to buy. Before ordering I chose the T-shirt size (women's medium) but there are mens sizes too - both of which go up to XXL.
I received six things in the box including: zombie sticker, zombie metal warning sign, dracula puzzle, boo! t-shirt, bloody hand print tea towel and twisted dark volume one by Neil Gibson. Firstly, I think they should include a leaflet explaining each item and how much each item is worth as all other subscription boxes do.
- Boo! t-shirt: Such a cute addition which I think will be great as a non-halloween costume and the women's medium fits me (UK size 8-10) well.
- Zombie sign/sticker: I love anything to do with zombies - Shaun of the dead is one of my favourite films! I don't know what I will do with the sticker and sign yet but I might use them as decorations this halloween.
- Dracula Puzzle: I'm personally not a fan of wooden puzzles but this one looks great! The aim of the puzzle is to make it into a cube; I think it would be a great stocking filler for those who love puzzles and gothic novels or halloween which I'm personally a fan of.
- Blood Tea Towel: I'm assuming this is a tea towel, I don't really know what else it could be unless it is a halloween decoration. Either way I think my sister would love it so she will be getting an unexpected surprise in the post!
- Twisted Dark by Neil Gibson: At first I thought this was a book of short stories and it kind of is but it is a comic book. I have never actually read comic book and this one does look interesting.
Overall, I think the My Geek Box subscription service is such a unique, novel and fantastic idea which I think will appeal to SO many people, myself included. This halloween box is fantastic and great value for money, in my opinion. My only negative points include the lack of information about the items and the delivery/processing of my order was quite long, probably due to demand but it seems like a consistent problem for the brand unfortunately. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Have you bought a subscription box from My Geek Box? What do you think of the October/Afterlight box?
Ahhh this is so cool!
