Honestly, if I was a kid and got that calendar, I'd be so freaking disappointed. Not only are most of the items just stickers, but the stickers are really meh in design and if they all have the same texture, then they're even more boring...
In addition to that, 2 of the days are just an extra charm to change the ones already on the dolls... An Lastly, so many of the fidget toys are just pop its?!
Absolute trash calendar...

[jessea]

I feel like Mrs. Bench with these mystery/advent boxes really needs to focus on more variety. Who wants that many pop it's and that many accessories?

[WildflowersCreations]

I have to agree with others that this wasn't our usual Jackie reviewing this calendar. A perfect example is at 18:40 this would be when the salty graphic usually would be, it was day 14 the 2nd charm, basically 2 filler days with an item that is already attached to the doll that we don't need. She goes over the box details at 2:04 and how it is misleading at the end of the video:

Includes wording on the front of the box:
* Fashion Fidget Dolls
* Fidget Accessories
* Sensory Stickers

Includes wording on the back of the box:
* 2 Dolls
* 14 Toys
* 8 Stickers

Jackie is clear at the end of the video that you get the following in this advent calendar:
* 2 Dolls
* 6 Toys (there are duplicates so she counts it as 6, I very much agree with this)
* Those remaining 2 toys would be the charms / key chains for your dolls which already come with them attached, so they are duplicates. You can see this at 4:24 day 1 and 17:36 day 13.
* 8 Stickers (they are not sensory stickers, just stickers and they don't have a theme to them which she mentions often)

Jackie says this calendar is worth your money because of the dollar value which is $25; you get the 2 dolls and 6 toys. The fidget dolls are $9.99 normally, currently on sale for $7.99 and are a mystery so just like this calendar you have no choice. The rest of the calendar though you would have a choice in what you put in your kids calendar. So for me, I don't know if I would say it is worth your money. My child being disappointed over getting a charm they don't need or a sticker that isn't sensory or worse case a meltdown because many children doing this are special needs, NOT WORTH it for me. Each day should be special, especially the last day, as special as the doll days no, but special.

Regarding Jackie’s review I think it was mostly like her normal reviews. It was very thorough, what was missing was the graphics, the saltiness where is should have been like at 18:40 and in her final conclusion. So I do hope when she does more of these we get that back, I missed it on this one. Love you Jackie, but got to be honest.

I think that a cute idea they could have done with the stickers would have been something like In-n-Out does and make a little postcard type thing that has a special spot for each sticker so that after the 24 days, you could hang it up or keep it on your desk for the sensory effect. Would have been so much better!!

[thewildcard]

I very much agree with you on making the accessories more inclusive. I've always had big hands and none of the rings or even some bracelets would fit me, even though I was right in the target age range. For the bracelets I would probably tie strings to the end and have the buyer cut the strings and tie it where its comfortable. Rings are a bit harder to do that way but it's possible.
Edit cause it just came to mind: Make the strings ribbons with fun textures or patterns on it. I loved messing with ribbons as a kid.

[moonyfruit]

To be fair, Jackie, your honesty in reviews are really, really good for companies to improve their products. I'm sure that's why Mrs. Bench keeps sending you stuff she's affiliated with to review! ☺

[lokithorn]

I never expected cohesiveness with calendars as a kid, just a fun toy everyday- usually would end up losing half of them by the 24th, I wouldn’t consider them ever needing to come together as one thing in the end unless it states so on the box, calls it a play set like Lego and crayola

[fanime]

I'm very disappointed with this calendar. I wasn't expecting 24 dolls but I thought I would get 3-4, which would have made me happier than just 2. I also would have been happier if there were actual accessories for the dolls like the Santa hat on the box. Not just stickers and repetitive fidgets. I was actually tempted to buy it because I've been wanting to buy those fidget dolls. But at this point, very much not worth it.

[multievtuber]

I actually prefer advent calendars that aren't a cohesive activity! I've always seen them more as "here's a present every day" than a set thing to do unless it's stated otherwise. I also don't mind repeats as long as they look different; specifically because they didn't say "14 different toys", just 14 in general. That said, considering charms as toys/gifts was a little strange, and they could make the rings better for sure.

I love you Jackie. My Aunt was a huge fan of yours along with me. She passed away a few months ago. You will always be in memory of her ❤

[MrsBench]

Ooooh!!! Buckling up for a review! I’m excited and nervous 😅😍

[byecatsstacey]

Always great to watch you do these advent calendars, Jackie - thank you SO much. Question is: why are they not consulting with you on curating these? They breaka our hearts! Day 2 is my day and really? Really? I get that charm? 💔💔💔 The little mochis were the best additions and I found the rest to be sadly disappointing. Mrs Bench is not best served here, sadly and the two of you could come up with an AMAZING advent calendar for next year 😉😘💜♥.

[laurendisney]

Of course this comes up the exact day after I bought two of these 🤣 Been eyeing them at our Aldi for about a month now and was hoping to see you review before purchasing, but they were half off when I went yesterday so I caved. Watching this I really wish there was more variety and better "sensory stickers", but my kids lost their minds yesterday so for $12.50 I'd say they were worth it!

[Etty]

so thankful for your vid jackie <3 you make me smile. keep doing what you do.♥

[aval]

This is the earliest I’ve ever seen a video posted. Love these videos and the chill vibe this channel has. Thank you for the amount of time you dedicate to it.

[sunshinem.]

With calendars/sets with doubles like this, they should be advertised as "share with a friend" type products. That way each friend or sibling gets one of each thing

[rebeccamorrow]

Jackie my sister got me a Pokémon Advent calendar! The 1st day was Charmander, I think you would approve! Happy Holidays! Love you!

[linamonster]

The keychain thingy is propably for the fidgets that can hang but dont have one. Like the simple dimple things. ❤️

[nottheoneforyou]

I'm sorry to say this Jackie. But again like the other advent calendar you did for Mrs Bench you weren't as brutally honest as I'm used to seeing. When I mentioned it on the other video a lot of people pointed out the play-doh calendar and how raw your honesty was about it. And I just don't think you've done that with this and the other product. Neither of these advent calendars are with the $25 sticker price to me. And I wish you had been the way I am used to seeing you review products. It just makes me sad to see. I know Mrs Bench has sent you a ton of free products to test. But I feel like you just aren't being authentic, maybe because you don't want to upset her? IDK....

[ConejoDeLana]

Watching this, I felt that this advent calendar was basically two 12-day calendar put one after the other, like everything came in pairs.
