Winter Wonderland 24 Day Luxury Toiletries Christmas Advent Calendar

Bought this as a gift. She loved it.

From what I saw in the picture on the listing I had an idea of what to expect in the package. However, the first few days the items were so difficult to get out of the plastic holder, I had to find a skinny screwdriver to pry them out, which in turn smashed the bath bomb (which did not fizzle in the tub, btw). When I opened day 3, what I am assuming was meant to be day 19 had come out of its spot and into day 3's. Other spots are loose as well. It seems they are either packed in super tight, or barely at all. The first few items do smell good, the fragrance isn't overpowering, which is good. But the bath bombs don't do much good in bath water. My 4yo daughter ended up just crumbling them in her hands while playing with them in the sink. Are the products alone worth the cost? No, not really. Is it worth the cost anyways just for the fun of opening them as an advent calendar? Could be, if the issues of removing them were figured out.

The daily gifts are cheap, and small. We have done advents for our children for years, and I will definitely not get this one again.

This product was delivered all bent up and look terrible.

I will never know how to rate this item properly - come on, it needs at least a HINT of what kind of products it contains. Are they brand name items? Perfumed or natural? All bath salts or a mix? It's fine for the recipient to be surprised but I have to at least have some vague idea of what I am giving a person.
