Unboxing Pandora x Star Wars: My Latest & Last Boxing Day 2022 Haul

- My Last Boxing Day / After Christmas / December 2022 Sale / Deal / Mail Order Haul.
Because of the various deals that were going on in December 2022 I bought them in batches of twos and threes. I think this will be the last two for me.
I seemed to have been drawn more to Star Wars machinery as far as charms go. Robots, an artificial planet / giant space station, and a space ship. I have not collected the others, because I don't think they translate well into a component of a charm bracelet. My Star Wars merch appetite has been satisfied elsewhere throughout the last few decades. So I do not feel the need to collect all of them in Pandora.
I'll show all of the Star Wars Pandora charms that I have so far in a future video.
For now, I have had many rearranging of charms on various bangles and bracelets. Some I'll show you, some I'll spare you from. The most enjoyable but also challenging for now is the "Moments" double wrap snake chain. The weight distribution is particularly tricky and has gotten more expensive than planned given the need for multiple clips. The fact that I see none I like other than retired ones in the secondary market, makes this also time consuming as well as costly.
The two Star Wars charms I am still hoping to find are from the Mandalorian series: Grogu in his crib and the Mandalorian helmet. Anyone know where I can get them other than the secondary market?
I don't know how far this Pandora thing will go, but I am having fun right now.
Thanks for watching in advance.

BTS CHARM BRACELET
This is what brought me to @TheOfficialPandora
Stay tuned for the BTS charm bracelet I am trying to "build".
The theme will be centred around the events in 2022: Their solo projects, albums, theme, songs, but in particular their two year hiatus 2023-2025 as a group, as they serve their mandatory military service in stages.
(One already enlisted in Dec 2022, when I started shopping for my first charm. The other six will follow in stages throughout 2023. The period of enlistment is 18 months. So in order to resume as a group in 2025 they all have to finish in 2024 or sometime in 2025. Which means all of them would have to enlist by the end of 2023).
(This mandatory military service for BTS had been controversial. Due to South Korea frequently and regularly granted special "exemptions" for able bodied men who are considered to increase the profile of South Korea culturally and nationally. Such as football (soccer) players and classical musicians. Or those of high political and social influence (members of chaebols, ministers, professors) who are able to pull some strings via the health condition route. It was especially controversial internationally given BTS' role as the first global popular culture icon of the 21st century of Asian origin, and ambassador to many around the world to South Korean culture through their lyrics, music, and performances. BTS gaining recognition globally before receiving the same from their own country, is not new. Especially given the highly prejudicial attitude people have about pop as a form of real art ("idol" music in South Korea), and perhaps the colonial mentality still plaguing most Asian nations and cultures with the disbelieve that any Asian act can dominate the world and surpassed their Western counterparts. This story is still continuing to unfold).
Pandora is adding 20% off on top of the 50% off for remaining items on sale! So I ordered two more Star Wars items. Will share when they get here.
Your Star Wars charms are so cute especially C-3PO. I’m sure you’ll find a home for him😊. Thank you for sharing ❤.
Great to get these Star Wars charms at such a discount!🌟(Perhaps you can use C-3PO as a necklace pendant . . .)✨😊🌸
Nice video! I’m not a Star Wars fan, but I remember when the movie came out, My mom bought two charms, C3PO and R2D2, they were sooo cute! I love your queenly explanation about the long dangles ... long dangles = no housework! 😅🥰
Which Star Wars movie? Mine will always be the "original" 1970s ones which my dad brought home the illegal Betamax of ❤🔥(Illegal because we were living in a highly censored dictatorship at the time). Did she buy from this Star Wars Pandora series? I heard they have been around for 2 years, but I only just found out about them so I am very sad that they have totally disappeared from their online store and have now been officially discontinued.
My mom’s charms were from when the original movie came out. (Not Pandora because Pandora didn’t exist back then!). Sadly, my mom has passed away, but I think she’d love Pandora! Check out RueLala for retired Star Wars charms! 🥰
@@ohmypandora8176 How fascinating that they have Star Wars charm even back in the day! Oh so sorry to hear she’s passed.
I think you would do well with an O Pendant to put your gold plated charm on. Then you would have a matching necklace for your bangle.
I almost bought one on sale but I am so unfamiliar with it that I don’t know what kind of chain or necklace would fit one. But I am eyeing a necklace with an O ring next. But I want the chain long enough and large enough. Something I might have to go to the store to try on first. That’s my next plan. This maybe the second no sale purchase I might do. Pandora got me now! LOL
@@OrangeIsTheNewBag there's a few thicker chains that are good for the O Pendant. I do believe the one you are talking about is a fob clasp design and it's attached to the O Pendant. Not sure of it's official name without looking it up. I think it's 50cm. I really love that one. I haven't seen it in person though. It will come down to whether that is a good length for you. If you want to save money or get something for free there should be some sort of promo a couple of weeks before Valentine's Day. Sometimes a free bangle, sometimes a jewellery box. At least if you have tried the pieces on you will know what suits your needs. It is hard to walk into a Pandora store and not pick something up but it can be done I'm living proof. 🌞 Not sure if you follow my channel but I showed the heart O Pendant design I did in the Valentine's catalogue video if you want to take a look. I have an older video on the small and medium O Pendants too.
