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💖

I used to be obsessed with this brand. There main thing is using recycled material like plastics that have been taken from the ocean, and make jewelry out of it. I think it's a fair price, should be going to a good cause as well.

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)

I love cheap costume jewelry, but this calendar would have been a huge disappointment to me. I can buy jewelry that at least looks fancier for a lot cheaper. That said, this definitely reads like it’s for a teen, but it would have been too expensive to me when I was that young. I can see them having an audience in the tiktok community though. But those stickers… They just don’t belong in an advent calendar that’s that pricey, especially not the one that was a whole day. It’s not as bad to include with one of the items, but on its own, no way. Still, I really enjoyed seeing a different kind of calendar. 😃

If this stuff looked any more white-labled, it would throw off your colour balance entirely. I’d bet this fancy floss spent a large portion of its life cruising on a slow boat from Asia. Judging by the company’s willingness to replace products no questions asked, without proof of purchase, I’d guess each unit has a very low value. The money went into the packaging, which is pretty nice. I’ll give them that.

Ummm... Well as someone who enjoys making jewelry as a hobbyist (I always use hypoallergenic and nickel free supplies), I can say they cost VERY little to make. In truth, I generally don't make these kinds of jewelry because they look cheap. I would rather take strips of old T shirts and braid them into a bracelet. Probably because of the beachy theme, when the pineapple sticker came up it made me think of something I literally just learned yesterday. Apparently if your on a cruise and you put an upside down pineapple on your door it means your a swinger LOL

I've loved watching these videos but I do think there is something negative to opening something you don't know anything about... I think if we look at many items in life and the prices charged we could say it's overpriced. This company really isn't that bad - they sell $10 or $12 lower quality bracelets for kids, teens and young adults. Target sells the same type of bracelets for almost the same price but we don't really bash them. You were acting like everything was practically Dollar Tree stuff but that is just life and cost these days... Also $2.50 is definitely the going rate / lower than most stickers being sold out there! I don't think every company makes an advent calendar to give you insane amounts of value. Sometimes it's just for fans of the brand to have a cute one of a kind box with something they like to open every day for a few days with somewhat of a price break. 🤷♀

Y’all need to realize that Pura Vida donates a lot of money with most bracelet, necklace, earrings, etc purchased. That’s why they’re not cheap. Each normal bracelet is $4, if you get a charm or one that all profits go to a cause, they’re $7-$10. If you don’t like the brand, no one is saying you have to buy from them. But I’ve seen some comments spreading false and misleading information about the brand. That’s not okay to do. Just because you don’t like them, doesn’t give you the right to run their name in the dirt.

I have multiple stuff from them! They are pricey but they do come out with sales often! I have multiple ear piercings and I love buying their earrings because they are allergy free and they hold up perfectly well under water! (I sleep and shower with them on) plus the company is pretty awesome too!

Love your videos and advent season! I would really love to see you do one of the calendars backwards! Over the holidays I heard that some people do that, and with seeing some calendars put the "best" piece in door number 1, id love to see you do one backwards and if it gives you the same feeling!

You can get non-precious stone rocks in beads that look lovely and they are not expensive. You can make so much gorgeous stuff if you wanted for less without resin or plastic. I'm sorry, I am not a fan of this stuff unless it's on a 12 yr old or one of their parents (you know it was a present lol).

My daughter who’s in college loves these. She wears multiple bracelets together, she even puts them on her ankles. She always buys the ones that they donate to different animals. If you just showed a picture of you mid neck down, you’d be a hip chick. 😂

... Rip off much? O well... If they have a customer base... I bought Latino bracelets some girls made and they are much better quality and are super cute and only 5 bucks

I love their bracelets. I have had one of the string ones for 5+ years and it still looks good and is holding up. My friend paid $30.00 for one with moon, stars and suns on it so the calendar price isn't that horrible. They use small artists and help with cleaning the plastic from the ocean and other charities.

When you decide to get your ear pierced again, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, don't go to Claire's or anywhere that uses a gun. Go to a reputable tattoo shop and find a good piercer, I promise you it's so much safer!

My 12-year-old would love this and I looked at purchasing but I did think it was over-priced for what it is. I think in general, Pur Vida is grossly over-priced.

Let me just add something to what you said about this being for young girls wven teenager's & those in their early 20's since I am aware you are from Kentucky so you wouldn't have a clue how things work out here specifically in Southern California and here you will see hip woman in their 30's through 40's and those any older which are few far in between but still their they wear this exact kinda jewelry.. Only difference with the older woman in their late 20's, 30', 40's and the few far in between who are in the 50 & over age group is they have elvated their clothing style while still incorporating the "young 🙄😒📿 jewelry" into their day to day evryday style. 🌅🏖🌞

One word. Claire's. It's giving that vibe. But, you can get loads more with those buy two get one free. Also, please be careful with your teeth opening and closing things. That's how I've chipped my teeth.

So $100 for some very tacky, hideous, string, cheap, gumball jewelry I’ll have to say no thank you.

Oh, girl. My heart sank when I found out it was from Pura Vida. In my opinion, their stuff is a total rip-off. I fully expected the calendar to be just string bracelets because that’s a huge part of their inventory but somehow the other items were even worse? This calendar isn’t worth $99 and it definitely isn’t worth more than that, despite what they charge for those pieces on the website. But I still enjoyed watching you unbox it as always! 💜

You're paying for the labor, not the materials. Those bracelets are handmade by people in Costa Rica, hence "Pura Vida", The slogan of Costa Rica

Bruh, this whole calendar was a rip off. I looked over their website and I KNOW you can get the stuff they sell on whole sale sites for between 9cents and 2 dollars. They just chucked their name on it. The necklace and anklet will turn copper after a bit, it doesn't hold up. And the opal rings, aren't real opal, they're a glass synthetic opal. If you're allergic to nickel I probably wouldn't wear the rings and earrings for too long.

I got this calendar cause my kids wear tons of pura vida bracelets. This was an awful advent calendar. The first day bracelet was their favorite. Everything else sucked. We got more bracelets during their sales. Also everything in the calendar sold for super cheap during the holidays. There was no value in this.

I am not going to diss the string bracelets and the price. Might be due to livable wage, whatnot. But they could have at least use sterling silver in the metal jewelry. Or heck, even surgical steel is better! Personally, I don't mind a bit of tarnish, just wipe or rub on some polish. And we are good to go. But I cannot with jewelry that has finicky plating, because with that now I have to be careful with perfume. Not to mention body lotion or sanitiser. So honestly, it is because of that, this calendar aint for me, and that 2.50 sticker. Bracelets are still cute though.

I think this company supports artisans around the world and donates a bunch of money to charity. So you’re kind of getting cute jewelry but you’re also kind of giving back?

I’ve never got a jewelry advent calendar before cuz I felt like they’d just give us the worst cheapest jewelry possible. But the Charmed Aroma jewelry advent calendar looks way better than this one. It’s the same price but their jewelry looks alot more expensive even tho it’s cheaper lol This advent calendar just looks like target jewelry 😭

I feel like for $100 if this is your style, that's not too bad. It is, however, not my style, and I wouldn't pay $20 for the callender because there is literally nothing in it I would wear. It's all about perceived value with this one.

I wouldn't pay $50 for all that. It would be too much. I did like the jewelry, though. The enamel stuff was my favorite.

Girl trying having a biometric arch for your braces . It was that or head gear for me. Honestly looking back now I would have chosen head gear. It was so bad . They had to leave like and inch to an inch and a half of wire exposed. No matter how much wax you pack on it didn’t help . It actually ended up cutting up my cheeks. And I had an infection just from every day eating and brushing and of course talking I had a project due and my teacher screamed I didn’t realize my face was swollen. Also fuck spacers those things break teeth

Could the tiniest ring actually be a toe ring? Either way definitely seems an over priced kids calendar. *edit* Note to self:- Just keep watching Kira, just keep watching lol

i'm torn. it's not my style, first off, so i wouldn't buy this anyway, but i don't think it's...too bad? they do look cheap, but other folks in the comments are saying the string ones last awhile, and the brand's "thing" seems to be sustainable products and paying their artisans a living wage, which i can absolutely get behind. i think i'm just too old and uncool to like this advent calendar/brand, tbh.
