I was very excited to see this box on my doorstep. Xplore ships priority mail, which is excellent in my book.

| Kitchen Science Kit |
The Kitchen Science Kit sells for $21.39 on Amazon. This kit is filled with fun things to do: Table Top Volcano, Vinegar Rocket, Kitchen Spy-Invisible Ink, Kitchen Detective-Fingerprints, Rock Candy Factory and Fruit Battery. I love all the experiments and activities in this box. This would be lots of fun for a child.

Final Thought: I really like Xplore BoX. This is a great box for any boy or girl ages 7-12. Children older than 12 can still subscribe, but children under 3 should never use this kit (small parts etc). As a child, I loved Science and would have loved to have a kit like this. Xplore BoX makes learning Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fun. I didn't do a full retail value for this box, as it was difficult to estimate prices for the gummie project. This box is worth much more than the face value of each item. The Xplore BoX experts have put together a box of educational items, that lets your child learn and have fun at the same time. This makes this box well worth the cost. Do you want a Xplore BoX for your child? Xplore Box is so awesome, they are giving an Xplore BoX to one of my readers! Just enter below. Please do all three mandatory tasks (I do check). A winner will be randomly drawn. If the winner has not completed all the mandatory tasks, a new winner will be drawn.

| First Look |
The box contents were shipped in a large box with lots of packing material. There was an envelope with a return shipment label. I have found out since that you can't return the subscription boxes. I am not sure why it was included in the box. There was also a couple of Fancy stickers.

| Box Items |
 |
| Two Tone Woven Cotton Belt by Men in Cities $40.00 |
This belt comes in green, grey, beige and black. C was not a fan of the green. He would have loved the grey, beige or black.
Ashton Says “Let loose and still look stylish. This belt'll keep your secret if your waistline needs a bit more space at dinner.
 |
| Neon Rim Frames by Isaac Jacobs $15.00 |
C liked this and plans to put it on his desk at work. This is a nice frame and has a nice design.
Ashton Says “When a picture's worth 1,000 words, this minimal frame lets mine continue to do the talking.”
 |
| Wooden Alarm Clock Box By Kikkerland $30.00 |
 |
| Maps Rocks Glass $13.00 |
This is a nice heavy glass and there is a map of Manhattan etched along the outside. C cute his thumb a bit when he took it out of the box. There was some pieces of the factory etching left. It is a nice glass and will hold a nice Jack and Coke.

| The Box |
Final Thought: I contacted Fancy after C cut his finger on the glass. Fancy has an online chat option on their website. Someone followed up with me the next day and gave me a $15.00 gift card for the trouble. We were also offered to return the box if we chose. I am pleased with the customer service at Fancy Box. My husband really likes the picture frame and clock. We are getting another box next month to see how C likes it. The glass is nice but we will be careful of the etching. C would have really loved the belt had it been another color. I have seen other boxes and some people got beige. Overall this box was okay, but C wasn't thrilled with it. C is looking forward to next month, to see if it is better.

Final Thought: I am really impressed with these socks. I was disappointed that my husband can't wear them, but not many people wear a size 14 shoe. I love the women's socks.
