Coupon Code: SAVE3 to save $3 off your first box.
Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box full of hand-picked, awesome geek and gamer products. Each month, for less than $20, you’ll receive 6-8 products which are guaranteed to have a value of $30 or more.
Loot Crate now ships via FedEx Smart Post. Smart Post is slower than USPS which is what they previously used, however, they are now shipping boxes earlier so subscribers will be receiving them around the same time each month. So pretty much, there’s no difference to subscribers.
I knew the theme for this month, but I had only briefly glanced at some boxes in my Instagram feeds opening it today was a fun surprise.
The April 2015 Loot Crate theme was “Fantasy” and included all things swords and sorcery, myths and magic, dragons and …things that aren’t dragons:
~Dungeons & Dragons T-Shirt by Wizards of the Coast / Loot Crate Labs (~$15): I had no idea what the symbol on this shirt was until I saw it in the information book. I will probably end up trading this or gifting it to a friend.
~Harry Potter Luggage Tag by Bioworld: Now this I knew! Not only is it cool, it will help you identify your luggage at the airport because not too many people will have this.
~Inflatable Crown by Loot Crate Labs: Best Loot Crate item ever! The kids are obsessed with it and B even loves it. WB barely let me take a picture of it with the rest of the contents of the box. As soon as I blew it up, he wanted it on. And then as soon as L got home from school yesterday and saw it, he needed it on too! Love it!
~Exclusive RPG Bow Tie by Spotted & Tied: I know some people are big bow-tie wearers, but B isn’t one of them. I will probably put this in the kids dress-up bin because I know they will love it.
~The Princess Bride Playing Cards by Albino Dragon: I love The Princess Bride and love these cards. And we are always losing decks of cards so I like getting them in subscription boxes.
~Exclusive Gane of Thrones USB Flash Drive by CustomUSB: B absolutely loves Game of Thrones and will be taking this I am sure. Do you remember when these USB sticks used to cost a fortune? I remember we used to pay like $100 for a 1GB (maybe even less) at work when they first came out!
~Game of Thrones Magnet Set by Dark Horse: Again a total B item! I have tried to watch Game of Thrones with him and I just couldn’t get into it. He’s addicted though.
There were so many Loot Crate exclusive items in this month’s box that I couldn’t do a cost breakdown. It wasn’t my personal favorite Loot Crate, but that’s mainly because I am not a Fantasy fan. They always do a fabulous job with their themes and I love that they included items from an assortment of fantasy franchise! And I did love that crown. We so loved that!

This is actually my husband’s favorite Loot Crate to date – he’s been subscribed almost a year. He loves every single item. According to him, the T-shirt is the new D&D logo, which makes is really desirable – as opposed to a mash-up or parody shirt. The bowtie is also D&D themed, though more subtle. He told me he’s wearing it next time we have to go to “one of those lame law school events” 🙂
My son is a bow tie guy!! I was so excited to see this box on IG. My kids were already disputing over who should get the crown. Awesome box this month. The Nerdblock for this month was so great too, but I did not sub to it in time. I maybe need to get back on the Nerdblock train.
What size is the shirt? I would be interested in it and the bowtie even if you’re willing.
It’s a ladies large. I will send it to you and the tie if you want! On me!
I need to get some of those luggage tags to send with clients that book Universal trips. Those would be so cute.
I understand I can’t get into GoT either. My friends rave and I just go blah. Not my thing I guess,
I’m trying to trade the crown over on My Subscription Addiction, along with the Game of Thrones stuff, but I really liked the playing cards, and my son loves the bow tie. He’s probably going to wear it to his next 6th grade band concert.
