Hey guys! This is our first just jewelry advent calendar! I am really curious what you guys think about this one! Technically the value is there BUT I wonder if these items feel a little extra pricey to you as well? The quality didn't feel great and for $100 I feel like we got a lot of string! Let me know what you guys think! Love ya💖

Unless it’s an advent calendar made by a sticker company, no advent calendar should contain stickers. It’s a major cop out.

My daughter and I learned how to make our own Pura Vida bracelets last year for a lot cheaper than the actual brand.

Putting a $2.50 sticker in the biggest door makes this one a huge "no thanks" from me. How dare they😖

I am a high school teacher and the girls LOVE pura vida, a few of them got the box and were obessed with it. It is crazy expensive for colored floss, but the trends... It feels like when I was in high school in 2007 and I loved a beached theme necklace.

IT TOOK ME TWENTY MINUTES TO REALIZE WREN AND TATER WERE TUCKED IN ALL COMFY COZY 🥺🥺🥺🥺 they so

[erikag.]

For this price i would much rather buy some craft supplies and try to make them myself, they are definitely overpriced

Pura Vida has been sued multiple times for stealing designs. They’re the SHEIN of the jewelry world.

I love Pura Vida a good amount of their bracelets also support endangered wildlife and wildlife rehabilitation. They also support animal shelters and they are hand made. I first discovered thier brand at the Atl zoo and bought a sloth Pura Vida bracelet to support my favorite animal since the proceeds go to them. I gifted a few of the different bracelets to some of my international friends as well and they liked the simplicity of them and the causes that the bracelets helped support. I also have a sweet rose gold butterfly ring that was given as a suprise for my blind ring purchase that I wear fairly often and it's doesn't tarnish .

Pura Vida Bracelets are $5-$45 each (set) most of their offerings support various charities. It started with a couple of guys making bracelets to support their family and blew up from there. "Pura Vida" is the laid back Costa Rican vibe where they originate from. They're waxy since beach/surf life can be hard on jewelry. I wore mine for years and they held up great.

Pura Vida is SUPPOSED TO BE (idk if this still holds true today) a company based in Costa Rica (pura vida - or pure life - is the slogan of Costa Rica) that enlist local artisans (and at one point specifically women’s co-ops) so proceeds from each bracelet would go back to the local economy (to excuse the higher price on what is essentially a friendship bracelet). They were big on fundraising/philanthropy where you could design your own color way for an event and buy a bulk set from them to sell for your organization. They also used to have proceed collabs with pretty much every terminal and/or chronic and/or childhood illness and/or cancer research society (if there’s a ribbon for if there was a bracelet) plus a ton of wildlife conservation and ecological orgs that they’d give back to (they still do some of these esp the dolphin and sea turtles)
This is all info from a decade+ ago though so things have more than likely changed as they grew as a brand but yeah that was their selling point/a lot of their charity work
Edit: spelling (my autocorrect does not like the brand name pura vida apparently)

Love the video - as usual!

If I gave my child $100 for shopping, I would be livid if they came back with what's in this calendar.

[teacheraprilrogers]

I am a high school and adjunct college professor and many girls love this brand. I have hears really good things about the company and their customer sevice. But I agree rhat it seems very expensive. I am 49 and we made the friendship bracelets in the 80s too.

[jovannaayala]

This is like a game of Pretty Pretty Princess with you putting on all the jewelry on! 😊

[PurrfectlyMediocre]

I'll admit they are overpriced, but I love my PuraVida bracelets. My niece lives a nomadic lifestyle and we have a set of matching bracelets. I gave hers to her before I knew just how long they last. I told her that when it fell off, it was a sign to come home and visit. Good thing she comes back more often, because the pair of them are still going strong after years of daily wear!

[MamaBookFox]

I stopped repping for them a few years back, but I still have my bracelets and theyve held up really well. Even so, its still pretty pricey for a few bracelets, in my opinion.

[corilynne]

I love advent calendar season! I would seriously watch these all year long and I get so excited each time I get a notification for one of your videos! 🎉

[nvardgambaryan]

At this point i am not reading the titles. I just love having your voice in the background when i do my everyday stuff. your energy and positivity is the highlight of my day <3

[justkibby]

They're a good brand. I bought earrings on poshmark and they broke as soon as I got them. Even though I didn't buy them directly they still sent me a replacement. Fantastic customer service.

[shaunacorrigan]

I was with them until they gave us the sticker. Please, any companies out there, it is NEVER OK to make a STICKER a FULL DAY in a $100 advent calendar!!😠
