My first
Lootmonster box will be arriving this May 2015. It is a UK based geeky
subscription box and costs £25.99 (with free p&p). This makes it one of the
most expensive subscription boxes that I have ever come across, but I’m refusing
to write it off on that basis because it also promises a significantly larger
number of items. Each box will have 7-10 items, plus a t-shirt every month.
This sounds like a really good deal, but with the box being the price that it
is then it is really going to have to impress me in order to be worth keeping
up with. The worst thing that I could imagine happening with this box would be
that the 7-10 items were mostly filler and full of rubbish like sweets. I’m
hoping that I will be pleasantly surprised by what Lootmonster has to offer.
One thing about
Lootmonster that really did stand out to me was that the 1 month subscription
option doesn’t actually automatically renew. Automatic renewal can be a really
useful feature when you’ve chosen a box that you’re confident in and know that
you will love every month, but it can be a real pain when you’re wanting to
find out what a box is like. A one off box purchase is sometimes really nice
when you’re trying to figure out which one to go with. Boxes that automatically
renew are weighted with financial obligation, particularly if you are forgetful
like me and don’t cancel before the money is taken from you for a second box.
So really, my
Lootmonster box may or may not be a one off. It is expensive, but I’m happy
that I can get a single box to try it out and see whether or not it’s for me.
