serious geeky loot

Have you heard of #Lootcrate? It’s advertised as a monthly subscription box of geek and gamer gear… and judging from their hashtag popularity, they deliver month after month on that promise.

So, being a family of “gamers & geeks,” I gifted Mr. M a 3-month subscription to LootCrate for his August birthday. And what arrived on our doorstep at the end of August was silly fun for the whole family! There was an exclusive Pop Vinyl Groot collectble (which mandated that we go out and find all his Guardian friends), Shwings to add wings to your favorite lace-ups, and TMNT sunglasses and an action figure!

Needless to say, Mr. M was pretty happy and Miss L is sporting those sunglasses as often as possible.

I’m always pretty skeptical of the monthly subscription boxes, mainly because I’ve been jaded by one too many fragrance samples I’ll never use for $10/month. I mean, does anyone ever run out perfume in those little sample vials? But LootCrate this month was definitely worth the $18.37 price tag! Mr. M actually asked, “Um… so I get more of these right?”  Yes dear, yes you do.

Next month’s theme: GALACTIC!  So, items from Firefly, Star Wars and Star Trek… yeah, I think it’s a safe bet that he’ll love that one too!

[p.s. if you use the code SAVE10 you’ll get a 10% discount on your subscription]

Anyone out there an avid looter too?
