Is this ACTUALLY worth OVER $300?! | FabFitFun Winter 2023 Unboxing

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Hey guys! We are skipping ahead to winter a little bit with this FabFitFun box! My box ended up being worth $315! The Winter and Fall FFF boxes are always my favorite! I thought this box was okay but I definitely think the Fall box was better! What do you guys think? Im going to see if I can make other choices for my second box😂 Let me know what you guys want to get below! Love ya💖

I just lost the comment I had been writing. That really bothers me to no end. I had made several thoughtful comments about the robe.... Essentially, I was telling you that the best benefit of never/hardly leaving the house (another trait we share), is that you never/seldom have to wear real clothes. True story: last Christmas my husband bought me the perfect gifts--four new pairs of pajamas, several pairs of slipper socks, and two new pairs of slippers, one of which was a pair of muk luk slipper booties, which are perfect for wearing outside for a few minutes. The goats There comes a time when agoraphobics and others who cannot leave their houses for whatever reason, just have to say f*ck it... This is my life now. It's not an easy step to take, but Grinch pajamas make it so much easier. The goats don't care what I'm wearing as long as I do some ear scratching. The horses won't give me the silent treatment as long as my new slippers can walk me to their pasture with a pocket full of treats. And the dogs begin their long stare at the front door if I put on real clothes because that means I'm going away and never coming back...they're a bunch of very spoiled, dramatic babies, and only some are calm enough to accompany us on bye byes. And the cats are petulant enough to torture the dogs into believing that we'll never return. You've heard of George Orwell's Animal Farm? Well it's real, and this time the animals aren't taking no for an ansewer. Hmm. I ended up writing twice as much as the first comment I lost. I'm sorry. A about that. What I meant to say was that robes are always apropos 😅😝😉❤️ P. S. Get new glasses. Those have been around since the early days 🙄 Peace ✌️☮️💜✌️

Alex: the candlesticks are delicate, gotta be careful. Also Alex: waves delicate candlesticks wildly.

[@imperfecttimes]

I came here to say this as well. The way she never set them down while continuing to gesture with them was kind of making me anxious, tbh. Glad there were no casualties, and her final display looked so beautiful, but I was legit scared for a bit.

[@DestroyAllWarnings]

@@imperfecttimes the whole time this was me: 😬

[@yvonneh7126]

I came here to say this too! Lol. And also (saying in my head the whole time she's waving them) put them down, put them down, oh please put them down 😅

[@jesssmith6581]

The little stringy bits on the robe are to tie on the inside before you belt the outside 😊 life saver if you're a little nakey underneath and the robe comes loose...which always happens when you're bending to reach something 😂 saves you from becoming a peep show 😂 xx

[@jessicalinkletter9787]

Perfect timing! I’ve been debating renewing my annual subscription again next week. I’ve girl math-ed it to the point where these boxes are surprise gifts to myself throughout the year.

[@thepampepper7660]

I did the girl math and signed up for the first time, yearly, on august 30th

[@Papeeshka]

lol

[@Sorchia56]

Good on ye! I feel the same way about surprise gifting myself. I use my subscription more for gifts to other’s throughout the year but some things just never quite make it out of the house! 😊

[@helengarner8826]

watching the pooch getting comply and having lick and scratch was hilarious, honestly they should have a channel, the fabfitfun box was great also.

[@cinnfulsweets115]

Coming from a self taught baker/cake decorator, those cakes were amazing! ❤ and I wish I lived closer, I'd bake for your store! 😅

[@AnneAndCamel]

To me, this particular seasons box, seems more fall than winter. I would’ve expected a set of socks with the rubber grips on the bottom, a gingerbread baking kit, a scented oil plug in with two different scents in vanilla and cinnamon or chai….

[@tiffanysadlertlc]

Your cakes were so good!!! Definitely want to see more!

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Aww thank you!

[@m.service5584]

Me, too!! Considering your (hilarious) strawberry cupcake/muffin baking video, I was thrilled to see those photos! Great job, Ally!!❤

[@lisaflesher]

Um mam. Alex. Alexandria Ryan? YOU NAILED THOSE CAKES! I’m a cake decorator and that is amazing work! Own it!!!! Is there anything you’re NOT good at?!

[@herbicide]

I think the reason a lot of people see facemasks as useless is bc they use it just as a nighttime spa treatment or something. facemasks ROCK if you use them early in the day/before makeup!! guaranteed good skin day

[@Sorchia56]

Spot on! I love my collagen mask first thing in the morning. I’m somewhat awake when it’s time to remove, rub all that extra around my face, neck & chest then drink my 5 pints of coffee as it soaks in! 😂😂

[@Shtina25]

You're selling me on that robe! I'm ready for my coffee and watching kids open gifts. 😂

[@demccoy1320]

Over sharing NEVER! I love your stories and getting to know you! You’re awesome and everyone has had a point in their life that tears flowed a lot. Just glad I didn’t wear my glasses when that happened. The more ya know? Lol also stop waving those candle sticks around! 😂 I almost had a heart attack.

[@tiffanyragan8063]

Hey Alex, I know you have done two advent calendar video's already, but I am ready for more. I get so excited watching your advent videos😊. Also, I hope you're having a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day❤.

Loved the box! Always a treat to see the boys in the background! I feel like you just need to find a pj box or a cozy selfcare box. Maybe Esty has some?? Would not mind seeing another Etsy box unboxing on the channel. :)

[@taylorpryor5171]

Sewing Down South is owned by Craig Conover. He’s a bravo star on Southern Charm. It’s so cool that he’s partnering with FFF. We love to see it!

[@Plum_bird]

I thought the apron was winters too because of baking. Thought the jewelry is nice for holiday/ New Year’s Eve party. They really had great items this season.

[@alliebagwell9653]

The apron fold is definitely a short torso thing. I do it too, my grandma taught me she was also short torsoed lol

[@crystalbarfoot]

Hiii Alexandria. I 100% support the bathrobe around the house is acceptable and confusing to your husband if you do, AND have full makeup on. Keeps 'em on their toes. Hahaaha💖

[@lShishkaBerryl]

I went to goddamn pastry school and that cake looks way better than anything I could do lmfao, you're good!

[@tiffanysadlertlc]

I’m at the time of my life that I actually wore my bathrobe around my complex and even right across the street taking my dog out lol I did keep telling her to please hurry 😂 I typically don’t mention other channels and someone’s video but just an FYI SHECRAFTY has done several advent calendars already and will be doing more. She’s a small channel and does a great job showing you the products.

When you discussed wet cuffs,I had to fight the urge to gag! I hate when that happens so much; it makes me miserably uncomfortable!

Hi Miss Ally & boys. I really like seeing who got what in a FFF box. I thought the outside of their boxes usually where decorated. Maybe I'm thinking of another box. Thank you, have a ghoul week.👻🧡💛

[@Sorchia56]

You had me buckled watching this! 😂😂 Tater making his bed, giving you the stink eye and just being so blooming precious while you’re waving those candlesticks about like a ninja with chucks! I chose the candlesticks, so pleased I did. The last box has been my favourite so far though, Fall 2023. Cheers for the codes, I was planning on signing up a few family members and my bestie as a Christmas gift this year! Now I’ll be called out because they’ll see where many gifts have come from! 😁

[@janemclean7032]

I love your channel, and you are simply adorable! Thank you for cheering all of us up and making us laugh!

[@CatchUpWithKay]

I swear I breathed a sigh of relief when you showed those candlesticks in place with the lit candles. I was convinced I was gonna see a freeze frame with a voice over telling us you'd dropped them! 😂 Nice box and I'm excited to make my choices but I agree with you that the fall box seemed more exciting. Maybe it's because I love this season too! xxx

[@debbieadams2695]

Your cake photos are amazing! Love the candlesticks and robe. The apron is really nice! I collect aprons; reminds me of my grandmother. She baked all the time.

[@bluemoonsyrup]

If you’re looking to get back into baking, I highly recommend Jane’s Patisserie, her recipes are amazing! (She is UK based so you might not be able to get some things from her recipes tho) Also the lil tie on the inside of the robe is to keep the inner flap tied in place, I never use it on mine tbh, too much effort and it makes no difference

[@sommercoburn5911]

I’m choosing the candlesticks and masks too. The purse and travel perfume. Maybe the dog leach set.

[@jmarshal]

The cakes you made were incredible! Definitely nothing amateur about those. Wow.

[@m.service5584]

Ally, I think that necklace is perfect for you! I like the apron; it is likely made of oil cloth so it is easy to keep clean! You would LOVE The Blanket Hoodie (yes, that's the name); SUPER & COMFY!! We LOVE ours and DON'T get overheated! As for folding up your apron: yes, im certain that you're in the habit because of your height -- not a bad thing to do! Oh, and the candlesticks are gorgeous! Looks like they could be used as vases for a single flower, as well.

[@deannejohnson3157]

😀love your reviews - I want to pick the robe but am plus size so is yours L/XL or did u size up and get plus - I know this is a personal question but would help me alot !!!! Now I want the candlesticks too !!

[@catiebabii1991]

The bath shower juices! 😂 I’m the same way. I enjoy the thought of the robe and then I’m ripping it off after 5 minutes lol.

[@ennismaggie7]

i sooo recommend trying slugging with Aquaphor for the dry skin on your face!! do your normal skin routine and put a water based moisturizer and then coat your face in aquaphor!! I do it twice a week!!!

[@MissMTurner]

Living in Florida, I often have to literally just "cool down" after a shower because I'm too humid otherwise! LOL And as for long robe sleeves, I've actually caught myself on doorknobs because of the wide, drappy sleeves. D'oh!

[@montananerd8244]

Rolling up the sleeves & securing the tie is essential, but once that's done, I am such a robe girl. I have a cotton one & a heavy teddy bear fur one. Sometimes I wear both 😂 and I wear house dresses, despite not being 94.

[@Nursenightmare]

I’m in florida too, but dealing with some health issues and I’m literally freezing all the time. Never thought about getting a robe. 😭

@@Nursenightmare sorry to hear that! Get yourself an electric blanket! They really help

Does anyone else feel inspired to put together a fall and/or winter Himegoods or Maxx box and swnd it to her to open?! Just me 🤷‍♀️

[@outoftheklosset]

I'd love it if you had baking vlogs! I just got diagnosed with acid reflux so it's no chocolate for me for a bit so of course all I want is chocolate everything but especially chocolate cake!😂 Those candle holders are gorgeous and I can't imagine how someone even makes something liked that.😮The skill and talent is incredible. Btw I have dry sensitive skin and I use Vanicream on my face and neck at night and it works really well. It was recommended by my dermatologist. It's thick but it feels really good and one of my drs even uses it because of my recommendation.😂 I hope you, the hubs and the boys are having a great Sunday. Give Ren and Tato my love.❤️❤️

[@bookandmakeuplover4263]

You probably do the apron folding thing because it's a trick that moms/granmas/other family bakers use when putting an adult apron on a kid so they don't trip.

[@shellbell1974]

Really? Unprofessional? Those are the best unprofessional cakes I’ve ever seen!!!xoxoxo

[@JT-hr6dq]

My first, and only so far, P. Louise box is being delivered on Thursday because of you. It's the September box with the Halloween theme.

[@annhodge9952]

You were making me a nervous wreck with the candle sticks, waving them around like that! I was just waiting for them to smash together!! Pretty nice box!! You definitely need to get back into cake making! The two pictures you showed were professional grade. Wow! So much talent! What can't you do!

[@KathrynSnyder]

Fellow 31 year old & fff subscriber which is how I found your channel years ago! So excited for this box! They will change the box size depending on the items you chose to be eco friendly. You definitely helped me with customization 1! I was gonna add the robe but the difference in texture and my lack of robe wearing has me picking the perfume and adding the tiered tray instead!

[@amybourget6046]

Ooooo I was going to get the rob, because I live in mine, but I hope I can get a perfume, because i have been loving perfume lately. Perfume is just too expensive. It all depends what kind the perfume it is. I don’t like strong perfumes, because I get migraines easily. My house gets really cold, so that is why i live in robes, plus they are so cozy. I have a zip up one with pockets that I got from my mother-in-law and a thicker wrap one and they are both bright pink.

[@taniasprout7102]

I am loving the green glass candle holders. Plus the pictures of the cakes you made show your cake making talents.

[@laurencarlson6742]

Loving the video! But I got to your glasses bit and wanted to share my similar story! I had glasses that was etching and the metal underneath was causing skin issues! Eventually it went from dry skin to a full infection. I had to take antibiotics and the doctor said it can be dangerous to get infections close to your eyes- so I would get it checked out if you can!!

[@allyperfectcosima5472]

I work at a bakery and I think your cakes look awesome! Way better than anything I could do

[@amandakruger3632]

It is a moment to be celebrated when you get to the stage of appreciating the ROBE. I have one that goes on as soon as I get home and am constantly having to remember that it isn't to be worn to the Supermarket lol.

[@SJO1408]

Oh, the robe dilemma is SO 👏 REAL👏 preach girlfriend!!

I contacted the company they sent me a $20 credit big whoop! After I spend my $20 credit, I’m canceling that’s it enough for this I did not get a robe I did not get the candlesticks I did not get a apron I didn’t get anything you got in your box!! disgusting rip off I’ve ever seen. They did this to so many of us. Hey fab fit fun, you’re gonna go out of business just like Kylie, Jenner with your BS

[@lauriedaniele5967]

Hello Alexandria I hope you have an amazing and blessed day. Can’t wait to see what’s in your fab fun box. I have a recipe for pumpkin bread. You may come in the small coffee cans, metal ones and it makes four at a time. If you want the recipe I will give it to you. My eyes get like that in the winter too. I use a little bit of oil at night on it, and it goes away. Do you know online I don’t know the name of the store. You can get two pairs for $80 and they have nice frames.

[@agamizgala3562]

Will you be recreating this box to show us that we can get similar stuff ourselves? Or is that not allowed with sponsored boxes? Also, what was the *script* they have given you to make this video? Usually, you have more critique of everything... I get that it's a sponsored video, but to me (*my personal opinion*) it really doesn't come off as natural and genuine 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully you don’t have rosacea? Redness and inflamed skin often in the area you’re describing.

One of my sons are in here and he said, oh robes are the best.😅 When they git them last year they gave me the really mom look but after putting them on they are like you😅 I agree with you on the wet sleeves thing. Yuck. It definitely made this robe more appealing. Also my son and I were both really impressed with your Woody cake. The other one was pretty too. They looked like something you would order in advance from the bakery and spend a lot of $$ on. The general thought pricess from several that have opened or shared the options was disappointment that it just wasnt very wintery this season. I did love those candlesticks though

Do you feel the "plasticy" texture of the apron is similar to nylon"? And is it the same texture on both sides of the apron?

If you want to wear two different necklaces attach them to each other. Like hook one clasp to the other and vise versa. So they’re like toggled and they won’t tangle
