Birthday BoxI didn't see anyone else post this yet, but Freckled Fawn is turning 5, and they have a birthday box of $175 worth of new stuff (not seconds) for $39.95 plus shipping. Basically a warehouse type box, but they're going to have some events for their site, and this is supposed to give you stuff to work with for the events.

Will be interested to see some pics if anyone gets one, but I'm always very nervous about warehouse boxes

Tempting, but I don't like that on the list of items it says "zipper pouches". I need, like, 0 zipper pouches, thanks anyway, and I'd be bummed to get even more than 1.

I don't find them all that practical...they are cute but the plastic likes to stick to itself and other plastic materials. It's nice when it comes to keeping things in place (being sticky means they don't fall over or slide around as easily when stored together) but I find myself pulling out my DK bags from Studio Calico for extra storage. They are bigger and just more usable. There...I paid SC a compliment!!

Bought one, the challenges sound fun and I could bundle it with my kit which was the deciding factor for me.
I plan to cancel my kit for a few months so this should keep me going for a while

I was tempted -- the $5 blooper bags have always been super good deals -- but $40+$10 shipping buys a lot of new stuff I'm sure I'll like, so passing.

If the birthday box was mostly new product I would probably get one but I don't know if the contents are new or older items. I've bought a few kits and blooper bundles so if the box is mostly older stuff, I probably already have it. I think I'll have to pass since I don't know about the contents. Does anyone happen to know?

The owner posted that the newest product in it was from the December kit (so not old really), and that the rest contents were from 2016 as well.
I tried to stop myself, but I couldn't since i am a subbie and I got 1.50 shipping TO AUSTRALIA for 2 pounds worth of stuff...I don't know how she does it. Every time I purchase grab bags from FF they are packed with amazing stuff. I will post a photo when it arrives (but it probably won't be here until late Feb...).

nicolep Awww thanks for that! December is INSANE around here because not only is it the holidays, but it is the end of school for kids etc. And my eldest was finishing grade 6, so there was extra stuff, primary graduation, transition to high school (high school starts in grade 7 here). And my middle boy was finishing his first year in primary school! Then all the regular holiday prep stuff. Just overwhelmed with not enough fun time to be here! I am still around though...and the kids go back to school this week, yay! anniefb I know the subscriber benefit of 1.50 additional to post anything with your regular sub is amazing. I just love FF product and their service is amazing. I can't wait for this huge box to arrive.

Soooo....anyone get their box yet? They said they'd be out in time for the Feb. birthday event, so figured they'd ship pretty quick!

I know mine won't ship until about the 5th because that is when my sub ships. I bundled them together to save money. If people subbed they probably did too. So wel wil have to find a non subbie who bought one!

I ordered one, and I don't have a sub. No sign of mine yet though. (I live in CA - not sure where it ships from)
I can't wait!

Did they send you a shipping email? If you have an account (on their web page) you can check the status of your order. Be sure to post photos when it arrives. I am sure everyone will be dying to see the amazing goodies. Save

This isn't my video but someone posted an opening video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF4kFaeRonwAside from so many zip bags I think it was a great box. Lots of chipboard! Interested to see how much variety there will be between boxes.

I bought one as a gift for my niece, but looking at those, I may post it on the FS board. I know she loved the MME one I got her a few months ago, but she's really basic, so the veneer/cork/clear stuff will baffle her. I figured she'd love the puffies/chipboard/stickers/tape, and "grow a little" on the rest, but that might be a little over the top for her. I'll have to check the mail and see if it came when I get home. Btw...did anyone weight it? LoL...always amuses me when you buy "x lbs of happiness" and half of it's the box/packing. >< I figured one of the YouTubers would probably check it.

I think one of the ladies said it was 2 pounds...it looked huge! You could always take out some of the stuff she might like and sell the more "baffling" bits! I am thrilled with the contents, especially the 8 sheets of chipboard and puffies!

I watched the first...while I saw a good amount of value, I don't think I would have been happy with what, 5 bags? I have several empty sitting here now as it is. That detracts a lot from the value...I think the chipboard and puffy stickers is what I'd love the most of everything. It's a pretty assortment but I'm glad I didn't buy it. If someone offers up the puffy stickers with the houses on a resale group for cheap, I'd definitely buy!!
