I stopped getting Loot Crate and now instead get The Curiosity Box from VSauce.
At least with the Curiosity Box I know I will have some interest in everything in it because it’s mostly science/science toy based. With Loot Crate if I wasn’t into the pop culture thing being featured it was pretty much junk to me (which was most of the items.)
Curiosity box only ships four times a year so you get less stuff, but it’s of a higher quality and I find I either want to keep them or know someone who would appreciate each particular thing. (You also get a full book, usually hardcover in each one so surprise science books are always nice.)
No, I’m not a paid shill for the Curiosity Box, I just really like it and 5 minutes after opening it I’m usually having fun instead of feeling mildly disappointed like I was with the Loot Crates.
