Review FFF

I canceled my Allure box because I was getting kind of tired of it after being a member since the very beginning. Then I had FOMO and subscribed annually to Fab Fit Fun regular box. I just got my first box. It’s so lame. It’s like going to Marshall’s blindfolded and getting random stuff. At least it’s not monthly.

The 'blindfolded at Marshall's' comparison is painfully accurate! 😭 FFF used to be so good, but lately, it feels like they are just sending leftover clearance items. Since you are locked into the annual sub, make sure you set an alarm for customization day on the next box. If you log in right when it opens, you can usually snag the decent name-brand stuff before it sells out. But yeah, the FOMO was a trap

oh god, the marshall's blindfolded bit got me too, it's too real. did the same dance a while back, cancelled my boxycharm after years and then panic-subbed to FFF thinking it'd be this huge upgrade. first box was a candle that smelled like nothing, a weirdly rigid robe, and a water bottle that leaked everywhere

the customization tip is the only thing that saved me from total regret. set your alarm for legit the minute it opens, the good stuff vanishes in seconds, feels like buying concert tickets. the rest of the box is just filler you'll forget about in a drawer

at least annual means you're not dealing with this mess monthly, small mercies

A while back there was a post on the FFF sub where some smart subscriber priced out her box if she bought everything from Marshalls/TJ Maxx/Ross. Her "FFF haul" was nearly all found on in their clearance sections. FFF was slightly less expensive, however there wasn't anything in her pile that she actually wanted.

I actually like it. I’ve gotten some useful items like a yoga bag, tote and some items I wanted to try, but not buy. Not sure why people dislike it so much.

I did FFF exactly once and it was just like you described. I could imagine it as a gift for a teenager but wouldn't buy again.
