I thought it was well done. Only one thing in there that I didn't like. That said, I won't be buying this because I don't make enough winter cards to justify the purchase.

I didn't look at the spoiler, just the list of items. It's about the same price point as their card kits, without the lame onesie/twosie sheets of card stock/envelopes/markers. But still with tags and twine, two things I can live without. I didn't want to see the spoiler, but I was trying to conjecture the sizes of things like the stamp sets by looking at the sizes of the doors.
If somebody who has looked at the spoiler would like to reveal things like that (stamp set size), maybe whether the dies coordinate or are stand-alone, I would find it very helpful.

If no one does this today, I can watch again and make note of things like that if stated (for size).

I think I may see about getting this next month. There are only 3 items I don't see useful. And they are small things.

Spoilers of sizes.....
Okay these sizes are estimated, just what they look to me. Stamp 1 3x4 2 3x2
Stencil 1 3x3- 4 layers 2 3x3- 1 layer
Die 1 3x1.5 2 3x2 and 1.5
I don't care for #6 door at all everything else is usable. For the $70 + tax + shipping its just too much for me . I do love how the designers used pieces from the box.

Yeah, those are mini-stamp sets, imo. Anything less than 4x6 is IMO. I suspect it's a pass for me. Thank you so much for the size info azcrafty!

I didn’t see anything in that box that I don’t already have some version of so I’ll pass.

Yeah, too little stuff for too much money IMO, and all things I have a full size version of already or don’t want. It would be a nice gift for a newer stamper, perhaps. I personally find I never reach for the tiny little random items that come as freebies with purchase, and these all remind me of freebies. Nice enough but 🤷🏻♀️ I can get some nice full size stamps and dies for that money.

The smaller sized items make them useless for me & not worth the cost.

Spellbinders Stitchmas box was only 72 and had 12 full-sized die sets. Better value for the money, IMO. Of course if you don't like stitching, its not.
Cute stuff in this one, but not $70 worth.

After thinking about this some more, I don't think it is a good value. But I do like most of what was included.

And the first item is kind of duplicated with the other one, in my opinion. No thanks! ETA: Just remembered SSS has that $10 clothes pin, so no surprise they highly (over) value their logo/product.

I almost bought it. Thankful for some insight here, I could talk myself out of it.
