i must say, in my opinion this is a huge rip off. I was looking to get this for a friend who loves Wicked, yes the artwork is lovely but thank you for showing the content because now I wont buy it.
I'm not a Wicked fan but will say the art style is very appealing. I think them making it with removable clue said a lot for the manufacturers considering it would be purchased by collectors. Most arguments are destroyed by the time you've opened the doors. I would just keep everything inside like a window box and mount it opened flat on the wall :-)
Yes I think it was a very thoughtful choice for the removeable glue. It would have just wrecked me if all the pretty envelopes had gotten torn when opening them!
I really like that all the items in the calendar are useable for pretty much everyday use. Like sticky notes, pencil, Coasters book marks and other stuff. Unlike Alot of Advent calendar items.
I agree! They are mostly practical items which I appreciate. I know some people have expressed their disappointment with how average and ordinary the items are, which I can understand. But it is a relatively inexpensive advent calendar and my expectations weren't too high for the set. In the end, I'm happy with it as a Wicked fan
For $20-25 this is good. If you want more, pay for it!! P. S. Lauren, this is my first time seeing one of your videos and I was not disappointed. Your voice and the video editing rocks. Like the Glinda pink outfit!
Aww thanks for your sweet comment! I agree, for the price, I wasn't disappointed. I think some people's expectations are a little high for the price point, but to each their own...
❤ your videos. Started with just the flowerknows vids and have started branching out to wicked.😊 Btw have u received the order from the new FK collection yet?
Why, won't you still have to pay it to have the product? I don't think you can avoid paying taxes. Maybe the shipping if it a product you can buy in stores, but taxes should be always included.
@@fernandagoncalvesoliveirab2083 Because taxes and shipping vary depending on where you are but more importantly it is not money that is going towards the cost of producing the advent calendar.
I got this and it was a tomatal scam I got nothing she did and it was all just cheap stickers nd random peices of paper and I even got just plain white sticky notes I mean wtf
We ordered one for our Granddaughter it come and was a knock off version,will all the wrong presents ,just cheap tat nothing like on this video,she was really disappointed,£16 it was as well so be careful out there
Well, it was $24.61 before tax, so from a business perspective, that just really doesn't seem like it would work. But Kohl's online did have a Wicked themed advent calendar with makeup products. I'm not sure if it's still available but it's worth looking into.
This advent is awful😖 it screams dollar store, cheap, childish, and so underwhelming for something thats themed for a story NOT geared towards the children. Children that this type of gumball machine items would appeal too. You look super cute as Glinda tho!!😊
This is like if Wicked owned a dollar store lol

Do you think wicked is a kids movie? I haven’t watched it yet so-
@@Nami..Queen. it 10 million percent isn't. Especially the book. Both are not really for kids
@@gamergirlgametheorist3078 what’s it about??
I feel way ripped off. I paid about $60 for this in NZ. I’m an OG book fan, but this is not it for me
for $25 I think it’s worth it
When my husband and I got married in 2006 we went to see Wicked on Broadway. It was amazing, we got to see Kirsten Chenoweth and Idina Manzel.
OMG what a dream!!! I would die if I could have seen the original Broadway cast! 😍😍 I was too busy being in 2nd grade when Wicked debuted 😞
Thanks for the honest review, and staying positive during the less exciting items :)
Of course! I foresee a lot of dark days ahead so I try to find the good in every little thing I can :) Thanks for watching!
“A green powdered sugar and you dusted it over a hot chocolate” oh you could also do a matcha drink too! 🍵

is it me or are there very few *elphaba* items in the calendar? plenty of green, but theyre oz or emerald city or elphaba-and-glinda themed...
Yeah I totally agree with this point! I would have loved a few more Elphaba exclusive items
Your nails are SO CUTE!! Love your commitment to the theme! ❤
Thank you for noticing!! 🥰

Love your styling! So perfect for this
Thank you! 💕💚
I like your Glinda dress 👗.
Thank you! 😊
matcha powder is green and could work for that foam topper stencil
Great idea! I will definitely have to try it out soon!

My mum and dad got me it. The one i got was such a rip off! Wish we could have got our money back after the usless items we got
Oh no! Did your's have the same items or different?
@LaurenLex some of the items were the same like the badges,coasters and stickers but there was stuff in there that were nothing to do with Wicked
Aww that is so lame! I hate that there seems to problems with consistency with this item... :(
@@LaurenLex thank you I'm not alone with the problem of it. Since they did a pencil you think they would do a sharpener or a ruler
Tweezers is helpful when opening calendars
So true! I'll remember that for next time lol
8:18 I would turn the OZ band bookmark into a necklace ❤
Omg that's a really good idea! I love it!
Such a helpful video! I'm excited to get the patches! 😊
Use the stencil for sugar cookies. Dust pink or green sugar on them.
Omg great idea! I'm totally going to do some Wicked themed Christmas cookies!
What is so cute, is you look like Glenda today! ❤. So beautiful.
Thank you for noticing! :)
The cutest unpacking I've ever seen. You are charming.
Aww thank you 😊 I hope you enjoyed the video!
Nice editing!
Thanks!
Thank you for the spoilers 😉😉… now I know when to buy it
Hope you enjoy it!
Great video and some really nice gift ideas. Happy Thanksgiving
The only thing I liked was the Oz elasticated bookmark in day 18.
Yeah, it's probably not worth it to you for just that item :(
Slay queen
Where do you get that?
I bought mine on Amazon
❤ your videos. Started with just the flowerknows vids and have started branching out to wicked.😊 Btw have u received the order from the new FK collection yet?
You are in for a treat! My video is going live tomorrow! :)
@LaurenLex Yay! What time???
11 am CST
They should do it as 12 days of Christmas and just include the better items and not like paper gift tags and a pencil…
They made one with all lip balms 😭
Is that the one they were selling at Kohl's? If so, I saw that one online and read the contents and I was like nope!
To be fair, I wouldn't include taxes or shipping as part of the cost per item. I'd just base it on the actual cost of the advent calendar. js :)
but in most other countries tax is included so it won't translate well for the rest of us!
I like inclusion of the taxes and shipping. Because that is the actual cost to obtain the calendar.
Why, won't you still have to pay it to have the product? I don't think you can avoid paying taxes. Maybe the shipping if it a product you can buy in stores, but taxes should be always included.

Great video 💙💛❤💚💜
Thanks!
Where is your lovely blouse from?
I believe I got it from Shein a couple months ago. It's actually a dress :)
Thanks a lot babe!!
Very welcome!

I got this and it was a tomatal scam I got nothing she did and it was all just cheap stickers nd random peices of paper and I even got just plain white sticky notes I mean wtf
REALLY?? omg that is such a bummer. Did you get it from Amazon too?
That is deff for a kid or pre teen or teen
Or a non-money hungry adult. Just enjoy.
We ordered one for our Granddaughter it come and was a knock off version,will all the wrong presents ,just cheap tat nothing like on this video,she was really disappointed,£16 it was as well so be careful out there
Oh no! That's such a shame! Where did you purchase it from?
Trust me for 20 something dollars this is fine designed for children
Was hoping it had make up or Starbucks merchandise

For someone who loves wicked I feel this is a rip off. I won't be buying it
I like it and I love Wicked
This advent is awful😖 it screams dollar store, cheap, childish, and so underwhelming for something thats themed for a story NOT geared towards the children. Children that this type of gumball machine items would appeal too. You look super cute as Glinda tho!!😊
I honestly think even children would be disappointed to get gift tags lol
Sorry but this calendar is a pure trash. 31$ on amazon (it is showing me this price now) for one sticker per door and cheap bracelet?
Bracelet? There was no bracelet in my set
Wow that is a rip off
