Companion Tees Review: April 2015

I may have said this before, but Companion Tees is the best subscription ever! They always send perfect shirts, whether in their monthly grab bag or in the monthly subscription like this one. Since their monthly grab bag, for me, includes three shirts, I get that one in a box, but the regular subscription comes in the TARDIS. :)

Companion Tees Review: March 2015

If you love Doctor Who as much as I do, you probably tend to find yourself quoting or referencing things that no one understands. It's a little unacceptable, I think, since it's not like the show is new. But anyway.

So when I stumbled upon Companion Tees and their monthly Whovian shirts subscriptions, I signed up for both. Obviously. I don't have to dress up for work, so I love t-shirts - and t-shirts that embrace all the things I enjoy make me very happy!

Fandom of the Month Club Review: March 2015 (Doctor Who)

AHH! I LOVE THIS SUBSCRIPTION!

Sorry. I'm a bit more composed now. Again, this is under $15 a month, and Fandom of the Month Club sends you three jewelry items each month in a custom-made bag for one specific fandom. This month's theme was Doctor Who and next month is Harry Potter. The items are shipped in this adorable mailer (and this month it's TARDIS blue!)

Companion Tees Monthly Grab Bag Review: March 2015

I'm pretty sure that if Companion Tees were a person, he/she would be my best friend. I have mentioned before that I love them, as well as their sister site We Heart Geeks. They also are partnered with Once upon a Tee.

There are three subscriptions available through Once upon a Tee/Companion Tees. Both Once upon a Tee and Companion Tees have a one shirt a month subscription in their theme - that's Legend of Zelda for Once upon a Tee and Doctor Who for Companion Tees. The shirts selected for this subscription are part of their limited edition runs/exclusive runs for that month. In addition, Companion Tees offers a monthly Whovian grab bag of one to three shirts. These are from previous months.

One of the only reasons I was sticking it out with Nerd Block/Arcade Block/Horror Block was because I liked the shirts. I had figured that even if everything else wasn't for me, at least the shirts could be worn. However, when I realized that for the same price (actually slightly less than only one block), I could get three shirts that were all related to Doctor Who each month, it was obvious that I would be happier with this.

I really loved all three shirts in this month's grab bag, so I am off to a great start!

Companion Tees Review: February 2015

Guys, Companion Tees is literally the best thing ever. (This might be confusing but Companion Tees and Once upon a Tee are basically the same company, except your monthly subscription to Once upon a Tee gets you a Legend of Zelda themed shirt each month, while Companion Tees sends you a Whovian shirt monthly. They also are run by the same group of people as We Heart Geeks, who provide a variety of items but no subscription yet. In combination, my life is better for these three companies being it.)

I already loved Companion Tees before I even got my first subscription shirt, thanks to the random shirt I ordered out of their monthly collection (they run a la carte shopping with a limited selection that is only available for a limited time).

So this was my first month - and they did not disappoint! They knocked this one right out of the park! I am so excited about my shirt selection!!

Companion Tees/Once upon a Tee Shirt Review: British at Heart

Sometimes you come across things online and you think, "that looks perfect." Sadly, though, you end up being disappointed, either because the product isn't as good as you'd hoped or because the company has unethical practices or terrible customer service.

Other times, you stumble across something and you wonder how you were alive before you realized it existed. Your whole life prior to the company feels hollow and empty. That's how I feel about Companion Tees/Once upon a Tee. Not only do they have a subscription service (either Legend of Zelda or Doctor Who themed shirts sent each month), but they also have some of the best customer service I've ever seen. AND their shirts... My God, their shirts!

But that was how I felt until the package arrived. Once it arrived, I mourned for the moments of my life when I didn't know this was a thing! Look at this envelope! I would buy this just for the envelope, but that's only the beginning.

Black Box Review: January 2015

Black Box is a subscription service that caters to the goth lifestyle, although it's not just goth items. The owner of the company hand selects the items each month based on your personality and interests. I was definitely excited to try it out, but didn't know how well it would work for me, as my goth days are long behind me. However, I loved the sample items posted on the website.

The box is actually a big black box and the items inside are wrapped in black tissue paper. Instead of an information card, you received a personalized note since each box is planned for the individual customer. I had seen some of the other boxes opened and was on the fence about continuing my subscription because those items really weren't things I would like. Again, though, since I filled out a survey about my personality, I knew that they may not be reflective of what I received.

My mailman hates me, I think, because so many of my boxes come to me looking like this. :(

Geek Fuel Review: January 2015

It's official. I have an addiction, and I need to pick up more work just to feed it. All these geek boxes are going to be the end of me, I tell you. I can't decide between them, because they are all amazing. When Geek Fuel offered to send me a box for review, I was on that so fast! And now I have another new subscription after trying this box. Sigh.

Anyway, it's an amazing box - and if you want to use our link to sign up, Geek Fuel will send you a Nihon Town Poster as a special gift! Here's the poster:

Nerd Block Classic Review: January 2015

This was Nerd Block's first themed Classic Block, and it was AMAZING! The theme this month was "A Galaxy Far, Far Away." I was getting very anxious about this one because it got held up between Canada and here, but it was worth the wait - and I avoided spoilers!

Blue Box Balm Review (Geek Inspired Lip Balms and Perfume)

Blue Box Balm doesn't have a subscription service, but I found them on Facebook and they were having a sale. In the spirit of geekiness, I had to check out the perfumes and lip balms all inspired by Doctor Who (with some Sherlock love as well).
