Sports Crate Review: February 2015

In the subscription box world, there seem to be a million beauty boxes and the same number of geek themed boxes, but one area that really hasn't been tapped into much yet is sports. Sports Crate is the only active sports subscription box full of collectibles. What's nice is you also pick your teams for the box so you are getting things related to your interests. 

This month, the owner also emailed subscribers as he had a limited number of camp shirts and wanted to know which athletes interested each person. He couldn't guarantee everyone a shirt, but he would promise no one would get one they didn't want (for example, I would probably have burned anything with Vick on it). We did end up getting a shirt, so the majority of this month's box's value is in that. 

We also got a miniature Red Sox player to match our full sized one from last month. :)

Sports Crate Review: January 2015

Sports Crate is a relatively new subscription box all about sports, which I knew was perfect for my husband. You are asked when you sign up to select your favorite NFL, NHL, MLB, and NBA teams, as well as NCAA franchises (from a select group). My husband is really the sports fan (although I like hockey), so I used his preferences when we signed up. He kind of laughed at me because I put down both the Patriots and Dolphins, as he used to like the Dolphins, but he liked them when Marino played. So I'm a little out of the loop. He's basically a stereotypical hardcore Boston fan so I guess I should update his favorites (although he didn't have a problem with anything he received).

Sports Crate ships in a pretty basic black box and it was full of sports paraphernalia and collectibles.
