yes, you read that correctly. i have spent quite a bit of real money on silly little animal crossing trinkets. and guess what? i love them. in this post i'm going to explain what i got, rate them, and maybe some extra information, who knows.
so, the first box i picked up from gamestop, which was winter themed and i found it adorable. it contains a tote bag, blanket, mug, post cards, and a couple coasters i believe? the tote bag is good quality, it's a decent size and has come with me on a few overnight trips. the blanket is a little small for me (i'm 5'9") but it's fuzzy so what can i say? the mug is blue but when a hot drink is poured in it a pattern appears and that is marvelous. unfortunately for me, i'm not a hot-drink drinker but if you drink coffee/tea/cocoa frequently you would definitely enjoy this mug. the post cards and coasters just have photos of villagers on them and i think they are great, though i haven't used either for fear of ruining them. overall, i'd give this box a 7/10, all the items are cute, but not things i would commonly use. i don't remember how much this box was, but i think it was like $45 or something?
the second box i got from target, and it doesn't have a specific seasonal theme, it's just regular acnh themed. this box came with another blanket, a drawstring bag, a peach squishie, a wooden block date calendar (sorry for the bad naming, idk how to explain it), a journal, and fuzzy socks. the blanket is in the shape of a bell bag and it's actually so soft and big and i'm sitting on it right now. the drawstring bag looks nice, but i haven't used it yet so i can't give a fair rating. the peach squishie is literally heaven on earth. it smells amazing, it's super slow rising, and it's literally a PEACH. they knew what they were doing with that for sure. the date calendar is so cute, it has the nook brothers on it!! i used to have a really old one that was falling apart so it was great to get a replacement. the journal is divided into tabbed sections, one section for each fruit in the game, and i haven't used it yet but it's honestly so adorable and if anyone has any ideas as to what to use it for, please share!! the fuzzy socks are super comfy and they have a little embroidered isabelle on each one. i'd give this box a 10/10, there were way more items in it for less money, all great quality, and stuff i'll be using a lot. this box was $30!
let me know if you guys have bought either of these boxes, what you think of the items, or if you have other animal crossing merchandise! if you read this entire thing, i applaud you. <3
