The Pizza Cupcake
Experience
It was enjoyable, but I really wouldn't get it at the full list price. The dough is fine, regular pepperoni, and the mozzarella is honestly very good! The sauce was pretty bitter though. They're like mini-deep dish pizzas, and smaller than an average cupcake. Before ordering using the Thingdrop, I looked on their website to see what was special about this product. The website doesn't say much beyond the business journey, and the blurb that is on the back of the box is the only thing that is on the About page of the website - it is about the couple that started this company, and even though it is a cute story, it doesn't tell me anything about this product or what makes it special. When the box arrived, it was the first time I've seen a mention of a secret recipe dough. The dough was also pretty good but nothing spectacular. I guess they are trying to be the next household-name frozen food snack like Bagel Bites. It's a good snack but there are much more affordable options for snacks. At the current price point, it's what most people would be willing to spend on groceries to make a meal or to possibly even just buy a prepared meal.

The sauce and the price point could be better!
Oishii
Experience
Very interesting product story with the indoor vertical strawberry farm. It tastes like a pretty normal, perfectly fresh and ripe strawberry. It isn't overly tart or overly sweet, it tastes just fresh. The packaging is beautiful, and the unboxing experience is definitely luxe and lovely! Each strawberry is cradled in a thin vacuum-sealed pocket, so it is beautifully unbruised and red. Upon opening, there is a very very fragrant fresh strawberry smell. The price is steep, but definitely is part of the whole "luxe" product branding and experience. The packaging and price definitely makes you savor it and slow down, so it is a pleasant experience to share. For those who were disappointed, I understand that the general hype around these has raised expectations for what these should taste like. (I think people are expecting a sweeter strawberry like those little wild strawberries.) I would say it doesn't say it will be more than what it is. A fantastic little anytime gift for a loved one.
Copper Cow Coffee
Experience
-While Copper Cow makes enjoying Vietnamese coffees at home very quick and easy, there definitely is a lot of waste with its single-use plastic packets. -The packaging is nice and love the color palette. -Good for on-the-go!

Wish this was a less wasteful indulgence (: Also wish there were options for non-dairy creamers (like condensed coconut milk)
Motif
Experience
For my skincare, I prefer using dermatologist-developed/tested formulas, so I was excited about this one! I really wouldn't call this a cleanser since it doesn't do much cleaning. While I do personally double-cleanse, people who are looking for a one-step cleanser would probably not like this. It is more of a gentle daily acid exfoliator, but I would rather just use my leave-on toning acid which is more effective than this product. I understand that based on the price point and product experience, Motif is gearing more toward the luxury market, but considering their first product is not a very effective cleanser or a mask, I'm not sure if people would be willing to spend so much on it. The scent and texture are inoffensive - it is creamy and smells herbaceous from the clay and lightly floral. My skin is also not dry afterward, but I also think that has to do with the fact that it isn't great at cleaning your skin.
Feedback
I see what they are trying to do by creating a one-step/do-it-all cleanser, but it doesn't do much. I'm rating Motif 2 stars though because the customer service is very very kind, and I like the idea behind it of all-in-one skincare that is no fuss and dermatologist developed. I hope they improve this first product or perhaps rebrand it, and I am looking forward to what they come out with next!
Springer
Experience
I was looking for a travel water solution for my dog, so when I saw that this was available on Thingdrop, I hopped on that. Shipping was fast, and it does seem like a high-quality product. The provided carabiner feels like it can handle a lot of weight. I like how everything is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. I'm not a huge fan of the original green color and it does take a good squeeze to dispense water. My dog also, unfortunately, won't go near it, so my review really is just for the product itself and what I imagine is a useful product.

The website is not very informative - does not show the inner components, and does not show the product in action. Prior to purchasing, I was only able to find a demo on Instagram. It is a fun-looking website but sadly not very informative.

sustainability is very clearly their priority. just like how they revise their packaging to be more and more sustainable so far I've used their dishwashing pods and laundry pods, and I like them. pretty budget friendly would really like to try their dishwashing spray next! I've seen the report sponsored by Blueland about how the casing is not good for the environment, but it's suspicious given the sponsor

expensive with unsatisfying taste all the podcasters or influencers who say that "they taste just like your childhood favorites with less of the sugar" are lying to you good concept but poor execution

For Days
Experience
love the company mission and really, really great quality clothes i own a number of shirts from their company and all are on steady rotation great place to shop for basics, with fun statement piece options! the closet cash is also so fun and they have sizeable sales agree with Lyssa A.'s review that there should be more consistent sizing, but it also depends on the intended fit of the clothing item. Currently, there is a "Fit" section but usually says "true to size" or the like. Would be helpful to perhaps add to the "fit" section on the product pages with sizing recommendations (ex. "size up for a slouchier fit")

Glossier
Experience
enjoyed their brand idea & original mission from when the company first started i also liked their marketing campaign "boys like glossier too," which was a novel marketing idea at the time. i understand that brands/companies grow and change, and that glossier really started a surge of "minimal makeup/no-makeup makeup" companies, but it has really strayed from what i liked about the company when it first started i originally liked how they would crowd-source ideas for upcoming launches from the <i>Into the Gloss</i> community. although the crowd-sourced ideas might have been just a marketing ploy, it did feel like the community had some say over what products would come next and what the products would be like. the core products that the brand started with were honestly very good, and so were the subsequent products with crowd-sourced ideas. however, once they stopped the crowd-sourcing and expanded into more makeup, the quality & efficacy of the new products really left much to be desired. also honestly the whole packaging aesthetic was really just ripped off of k beauty
Feedback
bring back crowdsourcing sustainability of packaging efficacy of actual products
Girlfriend Collective
Experience
love the mission and inclusivity in their marketing campaigns and sizing. while natural materials are always better than synthetic, their recycled synthetics are of incredible quality. I've had some of my girlfriend collective items since the launch of their brand, and they still hold up great. in addition to quality materials, the fit is also wildly comfortable and flattering.
