Pokeball Charms from CafeSweeten


I have another darling order from the Etsy shop CafeSweeten. This time, it is something that fulfills my Pokemon obsession. This order actually consists of two separate items technically, according to Etsy. The three pastel colored pokeballs are a set and then the regular red pokeball is a separate item. In a way, this will be two reviews in one post.



The pastel pokeball charms come as a set. Buying them as a set is cheaper than buying them individually. Individually, each one is $6.95 but as a set, it is $16.50. That's a savings of $4.35, which may not seem like much but if you're like me, every penny saved counts in the end. The red pokeball is also $6.95. The item total would have been $23.45 but I did have a 10% off coupon. This time, I did have to pay for shipping, which was a total of $2.50 since it is $2 for one item and then $0.50 for any additional item. Added all together, the order cost $23.60. So all in all I had saved $6.70. The order was placed July 13, shipped out on July 16, and delivered to my house on July 21 via USPS. Quite fast, isn't it?



First thing I thought when I received the package was wow, these are much bigger than I thought they would be. Believe me, that's a good thing. In the pictures, they looked small and I was okay with that. So the size of the product was a nice surprise. The charms are very well made and the colors of the pastel charms are so pretty. The charms feel sturdy and not at all delicate. They are perfectly round and the colors are even, no chips or dents.


I'm keeping the mint and pink pokeball charms for myself. Actually, at first, I wasn't sure what to do with the pink one since I'm not a huge fan of pink but after receiving it, I did like it. These two pokeball charms are prefect accessories to my pokemon themed DS and 3DS. The other two will be gifts. I'm a huge pokemon fan, can't you tell? At the bottom right, the animal crossing charms from my previous order are displayed. You can find that review here.


Isn't the seller so sweet? It really is important to me when a seller shows, in these little ways, how appreciative or gracious they are. It is important to me that they are nice and polite. It shows me that they are trustworthy people and are good to their clients. And through our email correspondence about the past order and also the graciousness shown in this order, I would like to label this seller as a trustworthy person. Would I buy from CafeSweeten again? Yeah, absolutely.
