Cat Reviews: BiBimbox GOT7 Gold Box

Aloooooha Friends!  It's finally Friday and I'm back with yet another Cat Reviews!  Have I done too many Cat Reviews lately?  Idk but oh well.

Today I'm going to be reviewing the BiBimbox GOT7 Gold Box.  BiBimbox is a K-Pop subscription service that where you can (currently only) choose between the BTS Box, EXO Mini Box, or the Gold Box which features a different K-Pop group every month.  The BTS and Gold boxes are both $39.99 each and the EXO Mini Box is $29.99.  You can buy each box once and cancel anytime, or continually pay $29.99/$39.99 each month and have a new box delivered each month.  The Gold Box, which is the box I got, changes every month in terms of which group it features.  I've seen IKON, BIGBANG, and a few others that I can't remember, but I have the GOT7 box.  Each Gold Box comes with 4-6 K-Pop merchandises that can range from a t-shirt, hoodie, poster, light sticks, etc. You can tell BiBimbox your shirt size and who your biases from the featured group is and they'll do their best to give you something related to that member.  And most importantly... SHIPPING IS FREE!  Each box goes on sale for the next month, meaning in April, you will be purchasing the box for May.  Sales for that specific box ends on the 25th of each month and will ship within the first two weeks of the coming month.  Since it is coming from Asia, it typically takes about 2-3 weeks for the box to arrive (to the States).  Okie so overview out of the way, let's get into the box that I received.

Like I said earlier, I got the GOT7 Gold Box.  This box was featured in February and costed $39.99. BiBimbox asked which GOT7 member was my fave, and I'm sure you know my answer to that lol. The shipping took a VERY VERY VERY long time.  The box should've shipped during the first two weeks of February but didn't ship until the first week of March.  It was Chinese New Year, and in Asia, most manufacturers shut down for like a long time, so it explains the shipping delay.  But finally the box came around March 15th?  Of course I was super excited to open the box since what's in the box is a surprise.  It came wrapped in a big black package, and I could tell (before opening) that there was a clothing item packed separately from the box, but they were all packed in the same big black package.  I tore open the package and this is what I found!!!!

I was surprised at the stuff that was in the box, because from the photos on their website, it looks like you get a t-shirt, bracelet, keychain, hat, and things like that.  It didn't really seem like it'd be worth $39.99 so I was worried that I didn't get my money's worth, but I was wrong.  As you can see in the photo above, I received a hoodie, eco bag, poster, and tumbler.  It's only four items, but I looked up each item on eBay, which is usually where I buy my K-Pop merch, and found that if you were to purchase these items individually from their respective sellers and pay for shipping, it would total to about $52.  Knowing that makes me feel like I got more than what I paid for, so that's good.  I'll link the similar items when I detail them now...

So the first item I saw when I opened the package was the hoodie, because it wasn't packaged in the box, because it wouldn't fit in the box, obvs lol.  I saw the Hard Carry logo and got excited (cause you guys know that Hard Carry is my favorite era).  I unfolded it and saw that it has "MARK 04" on the back and I got really happy.  I put it on immediately and was surprised at the quality, because it's made in China, and we all know how likely it would be that the quality could be complete crap.  It's super thick and warm and I've worn it a lot already lol.  I've also met a few other fellow Ahgases because of it!  !!! Also keep in mind when you're ordering that the sizing is Asian sizing aka generally 1-2 sizes smaller than US sizes!!!  I'm generally an L/XL in hoodies cause I like em comfy, but I got an XXL to be safe and I'm glad I did because it fits perfectly. You can get the same hoodie here!

Next in the box was a GOT7 eco bag.  It's AMAZING quality guys.  It has (what I assume to be) pleather handles as well as two pockets and one zipper pocket on the inside.  It's cute, but I honestly don't know what I'd use it for.  Maybe like idk.  But I do really like it and it's not something I'd buy myself if I saw it online or in a shop so it's nice!  You can get the same eco bag here!

Next was the Mark tumbler.  It's probably the least nicest quality out of all the things in the box and the photo is honestly a tiny bit pixelated when you look up close but it's still nice.  The photo is from the FLY era.  At first I was confused because I was like is this Mark???  Does it look like Mark??? That's Mark's nose and mouth but is that Mark??? YES it IS Mark, but don't you agree that it's kind of weird???  Maybe because I've never gotten to see him from that angle but ya lol.  I haven't used it yet but would it be weird to bring this to class?  Maybe I will one day and see if people stare. Me: yes I have a tumbler with my boyfriend's face, what's wrong with it?  You can get a similar tumbler here!

The last item that came in my box was a GOT7 poster.  Again, I was really surprised at the quality of this poster.  It's some high quality paper and the printing job is really good.  I don't know if it's official, and I honestly doubt it is but it's fine lol.  The poster isn't huge, which I actually don't mind because huge posters honestly just take up too much space.  It's also from the FLY era which is another one of my favorite eras.  It came folded at the bottom of the box, which kind of sucks because it has creases, but whatevs.  I haven't hung it yet because it doesn't really go with my room decor lol.  Idk what I'm going to do with it right now.  You can get a similar-ish poster here!

And that was all the things that came in the GOT7 Gold Box.  I'm kind of bothered by the fact that the hoodie is Hard Carry, but the tumbler and poster are FLY.  It's so minuscule but it bothers me for some reason lol.  Overall though, I really do think you get more than what you pay for with this box. The quality of almost all of the items I received were surprisingly good and I really like everything that came in the box.  It really is difficult to stomach the price at first, but once you actually receive the box and see what you get, the price is more understandable.

I really recommend BiBimbox for those who love K-Pop merch and surprises!  Like I mentioned earlier, the Gold Box features a different group every month, so keep an eye out for your favorites. You can also purchase the BTS Box if you're an ARMY or the EXO Mini Box if you're an EXO-L! I'll probably purchase a Gold Box when they have GOT7 again or MONSTA X because I really enjoyed this box!

As always, thank you for reading!  I hope you check out BiBimbox and if you do, or if you already have, let me know what you get/got in your boxes!

With Love,
