Hello!!! I bought 2 (1 for me snd 1 to piece out for those who couldn’t afford or didn’t want the whole box). I live in the US. Honestly taking away the pink bag, paper cutter, markers, paper print outs and giant clip everything else would retail in her shop for $355, so honestly I think it’s a great deal!!! I love the Vellum, Washi, PET Tape, Magnet, STICKER BOOK, and all the sticker sheets are just so beautiful! Lynda put her heart into this along with her team; husband, mother-in-law and her brother. I also bought her PET Tape Box and Washi Box to sell samples and loops to whomever didn’t buy the whole box….but their so beautiful I’m definitely keeping 2 loops from each PET tape roll and will keep more than half the washi. I hope people reconsider and look at this objectively, look at each piece and really evaluate if you’d buy it? If not that’s okay but I definitely love the bow and all the other things I mentioned 💕
Hello Rebecca!why you order that expensive box if you dont like it?i cant order that kind of boxses because i really dont have that much money.i order only a few items sometimes.
Hello! I opened mine last night and was just thrilled!!’ 💕 very pretty, and thoughtful with “junk journaling” & “scrapbooking” in mind. This box I think helps us be more creative, think outside the box and learn how to put it al together to make our own beautifies within our journals and planners. I don’t want to be too repetitive so if interested I’ve left other comments on here 💕. Enjoy! @Mimiplansandknits
There is an Advent calendar for everyone, in a variety of price categories and with different contents. There are also people who buy cosmetic Advent calendars worth 300 euros. And yes, not everyone can use or want everything. It's like buying a mystery box and then complaining that you don't like the contents. If you don't want the uncertainty, then don't buy an Advent calendar. Then only buy products that you really want.
I am gutted I missed out on getting this. I have a couple of advents calendars due but couldn’t really get another with my house move. Can’t wait to sit down and watch this (and be very regretful I’m sure!)
The items are beautiful and I guess it still adds up to being a good deal if you consider the individual prices...That said, I'd be livid to find paper printouts in an advent calendar I paid GBP129 for. Make it 149 if you need to, but offer those at least laminated or on vellum or sg. Again, I love the design and appreciate the time and effort that went into it but at that price, you can expect a premium, almost luxury, product. That does show through in the hand wrapping and all, but no paper printouts pls.
Lack of Theme; someone said in the comments. If you know “Lynda” this Box makes perfect sense! She’s a beautiful person inside and out with a creative mind that can’t be “Kept in a Box” so throughout her boxes you’ll find pink and bows and then the main Theme (in this case the florals & birds) along with little unexpected treasures which are a part of her signature. May seem “random” but when you know her you know it’s the beauty of how her mind works and it’s an endearing surprise to look for and find. All artists have “treasures” video game creators and movie directors have them and call the “Easter eggs”. When you spot one in a game or film, you know “ah yep this is so and so’s” game or movie. It’s a beautiful touch of the Unexpected 💕
I get what you’re saying and i have to disagree, you don’t purchase an advent calendar because someone is a beautiful person inside and out. You purchase it based of the products. There wasn’t even a kit in the advent not one planner kit. I could have said much mure than i did due to the fact that she is such a lovely person and i dont want to upset people that’s not what i am about But £144 to me is a lot of money and I didn’t get what was expected for a box that price.
@Whoopsididitagainco Hi Becky! 💁🏻♀️ I meant no disrespect, I was just replying to others comments, I hope to get to watch your video later today to know your thoughts and opinions too. This is my first Advent Kit so I honestly didn’t have any expectations but I’m very pleased and love even the paper cutter and how portable it is. Archer & Olive had their Advent Box and NOW THAT WAS DISAPPOINTING….cost twice as much as their Sub Boxes and with LESS. So that’s truly my only comparison. I do have Graceful Muse Advent on the way!!!! And I got the WHOLE KIT-&-CABOODLE; Deluxe Kit PLUS EVERY Add-on. Not all for me but some for gifts and some to sell on Mercari, an online store in the US for people again who didn’t want to spend for the whole Kit but just parts. Same with Rosey, I didn’t buy the two boxes for me but also for others and I know there’s something in there for everyone to love…but I agree there wasn’t a Full Kit per se….unless you grab all the stickers, all the washi, pet tape and vellum then that makes up a full kit + more. Expectations will always disappoint, I’d rather be excited by life and all its possibilities!!! 💕 I sure hope you’d find some lovely people to Bless with maybe the disappointing things that may bring a little sunshine their way! Hugs and God Bless you! Thank you for the video and videos, I just love catching up on your channel when I’m making my own pretty things 🥰
I do know what you mean! I got mine yesterday and was so excited. But my feelings changed as I kept opening the numbers. I was not thrilled with the items more than anything in this box. I was thinking more Graceful Muse advent 2023 for this box. Don’t get me wrong; I love, love Roseys stuff!! I got the bossy lady box and it was gorgeous!!!❤❤ But for the $183 I paid for this advent calendar, I expected more. This by far has been the most expensive advent calendar (stationary, journaling) I have ever gotten.
I'm totally with you. Some of the pieces are gorgeous. The rest are very disappointing. Some seem very cheap and the kind of thing you would give a child. I didn't think we would get so much washi as you said, she did a separate washi advent.
Whoopsididitagainco Hello! Okay I just watched I thought you did an excellent job with the video and I think your review is very fair. I would’ve liked to see some days, dates and large stickers. I would love a Rosey Posey Box, and the Rosey washi is “self-care” exercise, weighing oneself and the like. I have all the others and really like cutting them out individually putting them in my sticker book and using them when I need them. Speaking of Sticker Book, I like to use also for precutting my pet tape and storing it in there so it’s ready to use when I’d like. The Chore Chart…definitely “youngish” I agree but great for a kid’s bedroom door or honestly even for my fridge for the family. I too love the colors of the markers and stickers… Based on the comments I feel like others really focused on the negative but this box as you said is beautiful! I love her magnets too! So much to enjoy…I just have to figure what to keep as I too got her Shabby Chic Box…🤦🏻♀️. But I’ve posted most for sale under retail so it’s a blessing for others. The Planner Struggle is real, enjoy & hugs! 🥰
Honestly, I don’t know how can someone criticize the whole Calendar if only few items are not ok in their opinion. And yes, everyone can have their own opinions and it’s welcomed, but this is turning into something very miserable. People need to learn a bit of kindness nowadays 😢 Everyone who is getting the fuel to this, if you were a small business owner and someone would react and comment like this, what would you do? Or think of this as your own kids, if so many people would come and literally mob your kids like this, how would you feel? It’s an Advents Calendar, guys. Advent is for forgiveness, kindness and it is turning to a some miserable show. How can people sleep peacefully at night after letting out such comments? Just think about it for the moment
I have read every single comment on this video as i do all my videos and i don’t see one that is criticising the whole calendar. I definitely did not do that on my video. I have spoken to Lynda about the video and the comments and yes she was upset initially however she thanked me for my honesty. What you need to understand is people are upset and disappointed, the price of this advent was not cheap at all and they are vocalising their opinions. I don’t feel like my subscribers are a mob. I stand by what I said and I will always be open and honest on this channel. This is my RUclips channel and I’m in total to my opinions and so is everybody who watches this. If people don’t speak up and say what they think then no change can happen.
The simple fact is that you are an influencer that people look up to who was on this girls PR team and you allowed comments like this from people who didn't even buy one of the boxes!! Come on they were commenting on your energy not on their own experiences they even said they had not even got it yet. WOW I see you will not see any wrong doing here so what is the point! SHAME! @@Whoopsididitagainco
@vaidasstudio17 I agree…sadly my comments from this thread were shared with a shop owner I mentioned who just threatened me with legal action for reselling. Thankfully I already have permission to resell from TRLP so that’s not an issue. But why anyone would intentionally stir up drama is besides me and heartbreaking. Stickers are meant to be fun and shared! Who cares if I buy $500 from a small shop and then give it away for free as gifts….but I guess that’s not allowed. At least I’m not expecting it for free myself, I’m actually paying for it and reselling to help promote the small shop owner. I don’t think it’s ethical to “double-dip” get paid from YT and get free merch…skews the “honest” reviews that turn out to not be so honest.
Great honest review. For a minute I had fomo, but now I don't. I agree with what you said some items don't go together and the paper stuff definitely could have been better. Did you find out about the missing number 25?
I personally think that ”being honest” isn’t just complaining when products aren’t what you would have wanted (when it is a mystery box). I also think that it is little bit rude to complain when there really isn’t anything wrong with products. You could have keep your opinions in private and let people make their own opinions of the Advent box.
You do realise that you’re commenting this on MY RUclips channel don’t you? A RUclips channel which I talk on. A RUclips channel which I make weekly videos on and talk. lol a place where I give my opinions on MY channel. I just find these comments so amusing. If you don’t like the way I review products, don’t watch. It’s no skin of my nose. I will always be 100% honest with everything I receive in the Planner community.
@ I won’t watch these in the future, no problem. But I still think that people should realize that even when it is ”My social media”, they can be kind and remember that words matter. No need to answer MY comment anymore.🙄
I haven’t been unkind to anyone. I gave my opinion on products I received that I paid for. If you buy some clothes, then try them on and you don’t like the look of them or the feel of them so you take them back is that being mean or unkind? I paid the money I received the products I gave my opinion. Case closed.
I think her stuff is beautiful, but she asks way too much for items you can get in another shop for a 3rd of the price... like asking $10 for a piece of vellum where others ask maybe $2-$3... even $5 would be high... I understand wanting to make a profit off it, but there is too much competition out there to ask $10 for a piece of vellum.. and I've seen a lot of that stuff on temu... i also love her collection with niya paperie, but $200 for a folio with a company we can't even trust is good craftsmanship.
100% agree! I got the December subscription to try it out for the first time, and basically for $100 that's not something to dish out every month. Love, love her stuff. If anything I'd go back to Sterling Ink subscription or Faded Chronicles.
I think lots of things are like that, for example Handbags and Cars. Why does Louis Vuitton charge $1600 for a tote when you can get one at Walmart for $10? Or why does BMW charge $83k when you can get a Toyota for $23k? It’s all about style and being a Designer… Yes there are plenty of cheaper sticker shops to buy from and think it’s great the variety that is out there to meet people’s budgets. It’s all personal taste, what one can afford and what they’d like to spend their money on. Her sets are beautiful and if subbed to the monthly it $55 and shipping for quite a bit more than Sterling Ink (whom I also buy) for $35/mo. When looking at it that way it because a unique treasure that’s found. 💕
@@DesertGalmaybe its the shipping that cost so much? But paying almost $100 a month for something when i can get two subs for that price .. idk i get what you're saying but its hard when we see all the beautiful things but because they are overpriced we cant afford them.
@Chaos_and_Creativity Yeah the shipping is $10 for tracked or free if over $55 I believe…Archer & Olive charges the same and they’re still within the same country. And recently I just heard shipping went up statewide. If there’s something you like that I’m willing to part with and you live in the US I can completely share with you for a great price. I have so much vellum and cute trinkets and can’t use it all. I’d love for everyone to be able to have Rosey’s stuff 💕. I’m not in any journaling or planner groups that but, sell, share or swap but I’m on here. 🤗💁🏻♀️
I’m glad I watched this,I didn’t care about spoilers.i appreciate your opinion and honesty as always Becky ❤and have to say I’m gutted I haven’t received mine yet and after saving up for it I was super excited considering I love her subscription I thought the advert would be amazing but it looks so disappointing not only the cheap plastic stuff but all the washi and vellum 🤔 I was hoping for more items for a planner set up.its the only advert I got and I don’t think I will get one next year! Super disappointed ☹️ x
I truly hope Linda does not see this comment she would be heartbroken 😔😢 I know how hard they work Are you not part of her PR team Becky? And you commented on this? Wow 😳 I am losing my faith in humanity
@@Mari-k5i Being part of a PR team does not mean that i lie to people. I have always rained about her products and stand by that. The Advent however was disappointing to me and a lot of other people. As a business owner you need to be able to accept criticism. People paid a lot of money for this and they’re upset.
@@Whoopsididitagainco Half of the comments don't have this calendar at all, the other half are disappointed. How many are there? 10 people out of how many calendars? And a few people like me are shocked by the hate that is being spread here. Personally, I would have been very happy about this calendar, but I was too slow. So to all of you who don't like the calendar, send it to me 😅
I would be a bit annoyed if I paid over £100 seeing as the clip highlighters and bathroom tasks are from Temu as I have them which I got for under £1 each. I agree some of the printed stuff could have been laminated. I love her stuff but for an advent I would be a little disappointed. That art and washi are beautiful though.
@@Chaos_and_Creativity I’ve not shopped her stuff before only what I e seen online and it does all look lovely. I would have expected better for the price esp as some items are on Temu for under £1.
I don't understand the negative comments :( why would anyone want u to be anything but honest?!? I don't have a lot of extra $, but when I do I want value. I loved the theme, I just wish there would've been a kit included. That was disappointing! I've been planning 10 +yrs now. I've never seen an advent calendar not have a kit included! It's something I look forward to! Josephine Bow Designs was 1 of my faves!!!!!
@cozy_mona I didn't say I didn't have any $, I said extra $. When u buy something, don't u want value? & I've seen a lot of planner advent calendars & I've never seen one that didn't have a kit included.
@@Oceanbreezes2002 the rosey life planner only does sub kits - not box layouts or functional stickers per say and from what I remember has never had "kits" in her shop or in any of her 3 other previous advent boxes. She does 10 sets of deco sheets and this is what is in this box 😂 several unboxing videos from previous years on Instagram and here show this. Her ad for the box does not say anything about a kit either so this is people's expectations getting the better of them - shame because it was a lovely box and now this video kind of ruined it for everyone didn't it
I just found TRLP by watching your channel, and was sad that I missed the advent calendar (but now I’m not, the only things I liked in it was te stickers, vellum,planner cards bow and magnetic pin) but I did order the January deluxe kit to try it out.
I appreciate it is small business, but if nobody is honest how can they improve? I don't think you are wrong for giving your honest opinion. If it had been me I don't think I would have been as polite. I can see a number of things that were picked up on a Chinese shopping site. I think if you add up the cost of the contents you are looking at less than £50. If we allow say £40 for staff time then the most that should cost would be £90 and I'm being generous there. I was going to buy her December set as a treat because it was beautiful but this has put me off. Nothing that you have said, just looking at the contents. I don't think they really considered the customer and what someone spending over £100 on an advent calendar would want. If I'm cynical it looks like a money grab from their customers.
I didn‘t saw this video, because I have the advent box too and don‘t want to see spoilers. But I heard about this video and I‘m a bit confused and shocked and angry too! You‘re in her PR Team? Right, yes!!!! Sure it could be always that you don‘t like each product. Sometimes the style changes or whatever… And an advent box is a big „surprise“ you never know what you will have in it! But why only focus on „don‘t like that“? And most of the comments here are so evil! Who thinks about what could happen to a small business with these comments? Sure everyone should be writing/telling the honest opinion but please be fair! Yes I‘m in her PR team too and I know Lynds and her shop since early 2022 and I can‘t believe how much hate is here! Maybe someone here needs to think about their behavior.
Hi, I will address this right now. It makes absolutely no difference whatsoever that I am in the PR team. Just because I promote her products doesn’t mean that I have to love all of her products. As I said in my video people have different tastes and something I might not like somebody else may like. You said you haven’t watched the video so I don’t see how you can comment without having firsthand knowledge of what is actually inside the box. I am completely 100% honest on my channel and that’s what people come here for. I don’t think any of the comments have actually been hateful in any way. I have spoken her about my unboxing and yes she is very upset however she understands that I need to be open and honest.
$144 pounds? so like, $180 cad... yikes!!! that is INSANELY expensive for what you're getting - a bunch of washi tape, low quality papers, and cheap plastic stuff that is destined for the landfill. $180 can and should get you so much more than that. 😢i hope the rest of your advents are much better!
I totally expect in an advent that it can’t please everyone but that’s usually one item or the style isn’t your jam. But this seems way overpriced. The cheap temu add ons (bag, cutter, habit board) are like when your kid goes to a party and gets cheap favor that you trash when you get home. Those seem like after thoughts and don’t seem on brand either other than being pink. And didn’t add to any true cost of the box based on the price you can buy them yourself on Ali or temu so those just don’t go to me and I’d be disappointed. Those could have been replaced with a few sticker kit sheets or setup functional items (yearly overview overlays, planner belongs to etc stickers) and it would have been more worth. And I feel like the journal prompts and other papers should have been on sticker paper at a minimum but really on vellum for the cost. This is a very expensive advent box.
Honestly, im surprised at how bad this advent calendar box is. Usually, her sub boxes are great, so i expected this to be phenomenal. This box is disappointing. I'm glad i didnt purchase it.
I got her advent last year because it’s not cheap and I was sad I missed this one but now Im kinda not. Last year was great not as many washi but my fountain pen only worked for one day and I loved it but its not useful if it doesn’t work - I do love Linda and her style and sub for a year but not next year because it was a little pricey for me - hope you still enjoy it and good luck for next week we will be in hospital at the same time 😂. Im only have a week of pain treatment you are going to get your life back girl. 2025 is Beckys year bring it on🎉
Was gutted i did get this because when i see you open the sub boxes they look beautiful but so glad i saved my money now thanks for being honest Becky x
I agree with you. I got the shabby chic box and was so unhappy with it. I was scrolling through temu for zippers and came across four of her items that she got from temu. The ballerina slipper pen holder was on temu for 4.00. Or less. I can’t believe I kept finding more stuff. So sad.
$183 with shipping ! That is what I paid to get it to New York and it was definitely not worth it. The products feel cheap. The paper cutter and habit tracker felt like it came from the dollar store. There is no theme. We don't even get a full kit. No functional stickers. I agree with you on the dashboards printed on thin paper and way too much washi. I definitely expected more. 😐
Gosh this calendar doesn’t really seem worth the price. Like the price is too inflated. Thanks for making the video and I agree with you! Would you have any other advent videos in the future? I love how honest you are
I agree. The amount of usable stuff in Rebel Inco in comparison is your proof. This was nice and the beautiful way you set up your planners and I think you will use all of them to the max. I am impressed by your style, but the cost is not there. Luv ya!
Now to order that here in Australia, it would be over 300 bucks. Id be truly miffed if i paid that much money and thats what i🎉 got. I will not do subscriptions unless i get sneaks. I work too hard for my money as we all do, quite disappointing as the theme and colours are just gorgeous
I agree with you it is a bit disappointing. I'd have liked to see more stickers and more vellum and dashboards. Rather than the washi and other plastic trinkets. The quality just isn't there for the price
I did make the decision to not get this one because I just had a feeling it wouldn't be worth the amount to send to the states. I love her stuff but am not having regret that I didn't get it.
yeah i feel like your feelings are very valid. 144 is a lot.. i think you could’ve spent that amount on her shop (if she has one im not familiar with how her business works) and could’ve gotten more of what you wanted and be happier. i feel like advent calendars should also be slightly like getting a deal but it definitely felt like you over paid for this one :( especially when it came to the paper and the random cheap items
Hi Becky, Thank you so much for making this video! 🩷 I was a bit sad that I missed out on the advent calendar from TheRoseyLifePlanner but after watching this video I am glad I saved my hard earned bucks. I don't like to complain either, because I know that Lynda works really hard and I love her products, but as you say: some of the things were a bit of a let down and the calendar in whole maybe not worth the money (incl. shipping and taxes). I would rather purchase the washi tapes I liked in this advent calendar and then use the rest of my money for something else. 🎀
I loved my box!
Hello!!! I bought 2 (1 for me snd 1 to piece out for those who couldn’t afford or didn’t want the whole box). I live in the US. Honestly taking away the pink bag, paper cutter, markers, paper print outs and giant clip everything else would retail in her shop for $355, so honestly I think it’s a great deal!!!
I love the Vellum, Washi, PET Tape, Magnet, STICKER BOOK, and all the sticker sheets are just so beautiful! Lynda put her heart into this along with her team; husband, mother-in-law and her brother.
I also bought her PET Tape Box and Washi Box to sell samples and loops to whomever didn’t buy the whole box….but their so beautiful I’m definitely keeping 2 loops from each PET tape roll and will keep more than half the washi.
I hope people reconsider and look at this objectively, look at each piece and really evaluate if you’d buy it? If not that’s okay but I definitely love the bow and all the other things I mentioned 💕

24:18 you said 25 when you opened the last washi. Maybe you just did it in the wrong order?

Everyone who is getting the fuel to this, if you were a small business owner and someone would react and comment like this, what would you do? Or think of this as your own kids, if so many people would come and literally mob your kids like this, how would you feel? It’s an Advents Calendar, guys. Advent is for forgiveness, kindness and it is turning to a some miserable show. How can people sleep peacefully at night after letting out such comments? Just think about it for the moment
I am glad some people here have a bit of humanity absolutely shocked by all of this😞
Big hug Vaida for your words 🩷🩷🩷
I have read every single comment on this video as i do all my videos and i don’t see one that is criticising the whole calendar. I definitely did not do that on my video. I have spoken to Lynda about the video and the comments and yes she was upset initially however she thanked me for my honesty. What you need to understand is people are upset and disappointed, the price of this advent was not cheap at all and they are vocalising their opinions. I don’t feel like my subscribers are a mob. I stand by what I said and I will always be open and honest on this channel. This is my RUclips channel and I’m in total to my opinions and so is everybody who watches this. If people don’t speak up and say what they think then no change can happen.
The simple fact is that you are an influencer that people look up to who was on this girls PR team and you allowed comments like this from people who didn't even buy one of the boxes!! Come on they were commenting on your energy not on their own experiences they even said they had not even got it yet. WOW I see you will not see any wrong doing here so what is the point! SHAME! @@Whoopsididitagainco
@vaidasstudio17 I agree…sadly my comments from this thread were shared with a shop owner I mentioned who just threatened me with legal action for reselling. Thankfully I already have permission to resell from TRLP so that’s not an issue.
But why anyone would intentionally stir up drama is besides me and heartbreaking. Stickers are meant to be fun and shared!
Who cares if I buy $500 from a small shop and then give it away for free as gifts….but I guess that’s not allowed.
At least I’m not expecting it for free myself, I’m actually paying for it and reselling to help promote the small shop owner. I don’t think it’s ethical to “double-dip” get paid from YT and get free merch…skews the “honest” reviews that turn out to not be so honest.
Great honest review. For a minute I had fomo, but now I don't. I agree with what you said some items don't go together and the paper stuff definitely could have been better. Did you find out about the missing number 25?
I personally think that ”being honest” isn’t just complaining when products aren’t what you would have wanted (when it is a mystery box). I also think that it is little bit rude to complain when there really isn’t anything wrong with products. You could have keep your opinions in private and let people make their own opinions of the Advent box.
You do realise that you’re commenting this on MY RUclips channel don’t you? A RUclips channel which I talk on. A RUclips channel which I make weekly videos on and talk. lol a place where I give my opinions on MY channel. I just find these comments so amusing. If you don’t like the way I review products, don’t watch. It’s no skin of my nose. I will always be 100% honest with everything I receive in the Planner community.
@ I won’t watch these in the future, no problem. But I still think that people should realize that even when it is ”My social media”, they can be kind and remember that words matter. No need to answer MY comment anymore.🙄
I haven’t been unkind to anyone. I gave my opinion on products I received that I paid for. If you buy some clothes, then try them on and you don’t like the look of them or the feel of them so you take them back is that being mean or unkind? I paid the money I received the products I gave my opinion. Case closed.
I think her stuff is beautiful, but she asks way too much for items you can get in another shop for a 3rd of the price... like asking $10 for a piece of vellum where others ask maybe $2-$3... even $5 would be high... I understand wanting to make a profit off it, but there is too much competition out there to ask $10 for a piece of vellum.. and I've seen a lot of that stuff on temu... i also love her collection with niya paperie, but $200 for a folio with a company we can't even trust is good craftsmanship.
100% agree! I got the December subscription to try it out for the first time, and basically for $100 that's not something to dish out every month. Love, love her stuff. If anything I'd go back to Sterling Ink subscription or Faded Chronicles.
I think lots of things are like that, for example Handbags and Cars. Why does Louis Vuitton charge $1600 for a tote when you can get one at Walmart for $10?
Or why does BMW charge $83k when you can get a Toyota for $23k?
It’s all about style and being a Designer…
Yes there are plenty of cheaper sticker shops to buy from and think it’s great the variety that is out there to meet people’s budgets.
It’s all personal taste, what one can afford and what they’d like to spend their money on.
Her sets are beautiful and if subbed to the monthly it $55 and shipping for quite a bit more than Sterling Ink (whom I also buy) for $35/mo.
When looking at it that way it because a unique treasure that’s found. 💕
@@ChanelthePomstonI looked at faded chronicles and I'm obsessed! Plus it's only $37!! I may have to do the switch to them lol
@@DesertGalmaybe its the shipping that cost so much? But paying almost $100 a month for something when i can get two subs for that price .. idk i get what you're saying but its hard when we see all the beautiful things but because they are overpriced we cant afford them.
@Chaos_and_Creativity Yeah the shipping is $10 for tracked or free if over $55 I believe…Archer & Olive charges the same and they’re still within the same country.
And recently I just heard shipping went up statewide.
If there’s something you like that I’m willing to part with and you live in the US I can completely share with you for a great price.
I have so much vellum and cute trinkets and can’t use it all. I’d love for everyone to be able to have Rosey’s stuff 💕. I’m not in any journaling or planner groups that but, sell, share or swap but I’m on here. 🤗💁🏻♀️
I’m glad I watched this,I didn’t care about spoilers.i appreciate your opinion and honesty as always Becky ❤and have to say I’m gutted I haven’t received mine yet and after saving up for it I was super excited considering I love her subscription I thought the advert would be amazing but it looks so disappointing not only the cheap plastic stuff but all the washi and vellum 🤔 I was hoping for more items for a planner set up.its the only advert I got and I don’t think I will get one next year! Super disappointed ☹️ x
@@sammieshort9877 this is also what I found annoying as I was hoping to use it for a set up to.
I truly hope Linda does not see this comment she would be heartbroken 😔😢 I know how hard they work Are you not part of her PR team Becky? And you commented on this? Wow 😳 I am losing my faith in humanity
@@Mari-k5i Being part of a PR team does not mean that i lie to people. I have always rained about her products and stand by that. The Advent however was disappointing to me and a lot of other people. As a business owner you need to be able to accept criticism. People paid a lot of money for this and they’re upset.
@@Whoopsididitagainco Half of the comments don't have this calendar at all, the other half are disappointed. How many are there? 10 people out of how many calendars? And a few people like me are shocked by the hate that is being spread here. Personally, I would have been very happy about this calendar, but I was too slow. So to all of you who don't like the calendar, send it to me 😅
I would be a bit annoyed if I paid over £100 seeing as the clip highlighters and bathroom tasks are from Temu as I have them which I got for under £1 each. I agree some of the printed stuff could have been laminated. I love her stuff but for an advent I would be a little disappointed. That art and washi are beautiful though.
She asks $10 for vellum.... it's ridiculously unaffordable to me.
@@Chaos_and_Creativity I’ve not shopped her stuff before only what I e seen online and it does all look lovely. I would have expected better for the price esp as some items are on Temu for under £1.
I don't understand the negative comments :( why would anyone want u to be anything but honest?!? I don't have a lot of extra $, but when I do I want value. I loved the theme, I just wish there would've been a kit included. That was disappointing! I've been planning 10 +yrs now. I've never seen an advent calendar not have a kit included! It's something I look forward to! Josephine Bow Designs was 1 of my faves!!!!!
If you don't have any money or you don't want to spend a lot of money, then you should buy a chocolate advent calendar.
@cozy_mona I didn't say I didn't have any $, I said extra $. When u buy something, don't u want value? & I've seen a lot of planner advent calendars & I've never seen one that didn't have a kit included.
@@Oceanbreezes2002 the rosey life planner only does sub kits - not box layouts or functional stickers per say and from what I remember has never had "kits" in her shop or in any of her 3 other previous advent boxes. She does 10 sets of deco sheets and this is what is in this box 😂 several unboxing videos from previous years on Instagram and here show this. Her ad for the box does not say anything about a kit either so this is people's expectations getting the better of them - shame because it was a lovely box and now this video kind of ruined it for everyone didn't it
@@ChloePlans oh that makes a lil more sense now!
I just found TRLP by watching your channel, and was sad that I missed the advent calendar (but now I’m not, the only things I liked in it was te stickers, vellum,planner cards bow and magnetic pin) but I did order the January deluxe kit to try it out.
I’m not upset about not ordering it anymore. Some of it was nice.
I appreciate it is small business, but if nobody is honest how can they improve? I don't think you are wrong for giving your honest opinion. If it had been me I don't think I would have been as polite. I can see a number of things that were picked up on a Chinese shopping site. I think if you add up the cost of the contents you are looking at less than £50. If we allow say £40 for staff time then the most that should cost would be £90 and I'm being generous there. I was going to buy her December set as a treat because it was beautiful but this has put me off. Nothing that you have said, just looking at the contents. I don't think they really considered the customer and what someone spending over £100 on an advent calendar would want. If I'm cynical it looks like a money grab from their customers.
That last sentence - wow 🤯 this is nasty 🤢 how do you sleep at night?
Also I agree - I don't think it was worth the amount you paid. Hope next year it's better.
I didn‘t saw this video, because I have the advent box too and don‘t want to see spoilers.
But I heard about this video and I‘m a bit confused and shocked and angry too!
You‘re in her PR Team? Right, yes!!!!
Sure it could be always that you don‘t like each product. Sometimes the style changes or whatever…
And an advent box is a big „surprise“ you never know what you will have in it!
But why only focus on „don‘t like that“?
And most of the comments here are so evil! Who thinks about what could happen to a small business with these comments? Sure everyone should be writing/telling the honest opinion but please be fair!
Yes I‘m in her PR team too and I know Lynds and her shop since early 2022 and I can‘t believe how much hate is here!
Maybe someone here needs to think about their behavior.
are you serious?!
she is in the PR team!!!
@@marjanwijnnobelyes she is
@@marjanwijnnobelwith mentioned that she is in the PR Team? Yes I am
Hi, I will address this right now. It makes absolutely no difference whatsoever that I am in the PR team. Just because I promote her products doesn’t mean that I have to love all of her products. As I said in my video people have different tastes and something I might not like somebody else may like. You said you haven’t watched the video so I don’t see how you can comment without having firsthand knowledge of what is actually inside the box. I am completely 100% honest on my channel and that’s what people come here for. I don’t think any of the comments have actually been hateful in any way. I have spoken her about my unboxing and yes she is very upset however she understands that I need to be open and honest.
$144 pounds? so like, $180 cad... yikes!!! that is INSANELY expensive for what you're getting - a bunch of washi tape, low quality papers, and cheap plastic stuff that is destined for the landfill. $180 can and should get you so much more than that. 😢i hope the rest of your advents are much better!
I totally expect in an advent that it can’t please everyone but that’s usually one item or the style isn’t your jam. But this seems way overpriced.
The cheap temu add ons (bag, cutter, habit board) are like when your kid goes to a party and gets cheap favor that you trash when you get home. Those seem like after thoughts and don’t seem on brand either other than being pink. And didn’t add to any true cost of the box based on the price you can buy them yourself on Ali or temu so those just don’t go to me and I’d be disappointed. Those could have been replaced with a few sticker kit sheets or setup functional items (yearly overview overlays, planner belongs to etc stickers) and it would have been more worth.
And I feel like the journal prompts and other papers should have been on sticker paper at a minimum but really on vellum for the cost. This is a very expensive advent box.
Honestly, im surprised at how bad this advent calendar box is. Usually, her sub boxes are great, so i expected this to be phenomenal. This box is disappointing. I'm glad i didnt purchase it.
I got her advent last year because it’s not cheap and I was sad I missed this one but now Im kinda not. Last year was great not as many washi but my fountain pen only worked for one day and I loved it but its not useful if it doesn’t work - I do love Linda and her style and sub for a year but not next year because it was a little pricey for me - hope you still enjoy it and good luck for next week we will be in hospital at the same time 😂. Im only have a week of pain treatment you are going to get your life back girl. 2025 is Beckys year bring it on🎉
Was gutted i did get this because when i see you open the sub boxes they look beautiful but so glad i saved my money now thanks for being honest Becky x
The girl bending over on the vellum looks like she's farting flowers.... im sorry I'm awful😂😂
Rebecca I love your honesty.
Gorgeous theme! But where's the kit :( I'd be a lil disappointed
what kind of kit?
@@cozy_mona the planner kit :)
@@Oceanbreezes2002 she has never done kits and she does 10 sets of deco sheets!! 😂😂😂
@@ChloePlans ty for clarifying. I kinda wanna delete my comment now :( but that feels wrong too! Grr!
@@Oceanbreezes2002 Some people should delete their comments here. It's disgusting 🤢
I agree with you. I got the shabby chic box and was so unhappy with it. I was scrolling through temu for zippers and came across four of her items that she got from temu. The ballerina slipper pen holder was on temu for 4.00. Or less. I can’t believe I kept finding more stuff. So sad.
All planner shops source from china that's nothing new
$183 with shipping ! That is what I paid to get it to New York and it was definitely not worth it. The products feel cheap. The paper cutter and habit tracker felt like it came from the dollar store. There is no theme. We don't even get a full kit. No functional stickers. I agree with you on the dashboards printed on thin paper and way too much washi. I definitely expected more. 😐
Gosh this calendar doesn’t really seem worth the price. Like the price is too inflated. Thanks for making the video and I agree with you!
Would you have any other advent videos in the future? I love how honest you are
I agree. The amount of usable stuff in Rebel Inco in comparison is your proof. This was nice and the beautiful way you set up your planners and I think you will use all of them to the max. I am impressed by your style, but the cost is not there. Luv ya!
Now to order that here in Australia, it would be over 300 bucks. Id be truly miffed if i paid that much money and thats what i🎉 got. I will not do subscriptions unless i get sneaks. I work too hard for my money as we all do, quite disappointing as the theme and colours are just gorgeous
I agree with you it is a bit disappointing. I'd have liked to see more stickers and more vellum and dashboards. Rather than the washi and other plastic trinkets. The quality just isn't there for the price
I did make the decision to not get this one because I just had a feeling it wouldn't be worth the amount to send to the states. I love her stuff but am not having regret that I didn't get it.
yeah i feel like your feelings are very valid. 144 is a lot.. i think you could’ve spent that amount on her shop (if she has one im not familiar with how her business works) and could’ve gotten more of what you wanted and be happier. i feel like advent calendars should also be slightly like getting a deal but it definitely felt like you over paid for this one :( especially when it came to the paper and the random cheap items
Hi Becky,
Thank you so much for making this video! 🩷
I was a bit sad that I missed out on the advent calendar from TheRoseyLifePlanner but after watching this video I am glad I saved my hard earned bucks. I don't like to complain either, because I know that Lynda works really hard and I love her products, but as you say: some of the things were a bit of a let down and the calendar in whole maybe not worth the money (incl. shipping and taxes). I would rather purchase the washi tapes I liked in this advent calendar and then use the rest of my money for something else. 🎀
