N7 LootCrate

I'm not the easiest person to buy a gift for. I have a few wishlists scattered across the internet.¹ But this Christmas, I knew exactly what I wanted, the Bioware Mass Effect LootCrate. I'm generally not one for random things to put around my office. But how could I pass up a box filled with things from a universe I absolutely adore? Unfortunately, we missed our opportunity to get the box. But my fantastic fiancée put one together for me anyway. First up the box she gave it to me in! Stellar job.

Next up, the cloth articles. First a hand towel. Then a t-shirt. Finally a patch. Towel is already in use after a wash. The t-shirt is a bit too small at the moment, but it gives me a reason to keep working out. I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with the patch.

The Art of Mass Effect book! I like to pick up art books here and there and this one definitely deserves a place in my collection. I plan to use it as drawing practice and reference material for my future Mass Effect cosplay.

An N7 glass that will be primarily used to contain orange juice. Also an N7 card box she printed on our LulzBot Mini and painted. Inside a set of Mass Effect sketch cards from Etsy. Still need to figure out how I want to display the cards but for now the box is awesome. Finally, an iPhone 6s case. It took me a few weeks to get used to but it does it's job and looks great.

This haul was better than the box of stuff LootCrate delivered. I'm glad I missed out on that one and got this carefully curated selection of Mass Effect items from my fiancée. She did a kick ass job.
