I really like these Dots sets and to get one that is a multi-pack of different designs is a great idea. The fact they include the bracelet and the bag tag is great as it gives me an idea of what those are like without having to take the risk of buying them separately. Another BIG plus is the sorting tray this comes with; not only is it perfect for this set but the plastic is tough enough to be kept and reused multiple times for ALL your Lego projects.
The bracelet and bag tag are straightforward decoration pieces as they come as one complete piece. The bracelet is 14 studs long on the design face and has 5 different closure settings which work by pushing a moulded piece through a hole. I didn't measure the diameter of the bracelet when closed but if you have no issues with a 7" tennis bracelet fitting this one will be fine for you. The bag tag is a pre-moulded cube with little projections sticking out from each face to protect the tiling. There are 9 studs per face to allow customisable decoration - shout out to the wonderful mouth/nose print tile!
The pen pot and the frame are built entirely from Lego bricks and they are surprisingly sturdy when built. The exception to this are the little arms that stick out from the cactus as they do have a tendency to break free if you catch them on something. As you can see from the images the pen pot is nice and deep (I have nail files and apen in mine at the moment) and is definitely completely usable. I used the frame to display one of my minifigures and I am so happy with how that works - definitely going to be making more of these frames for that purpose.
The instructions are printed on separate leaflets for each build. The bag tag and bracelet are on the same leaflet as they are basically just close up images of design options.
Overall, this set is a perfect rainy day afternoon project and it is endlessly customisable with the included tiles.
