Chessex Festive Toybox w/ White (CHX 19001) has a translucent clear base with opaque swirls of soft white, turquoise, and fuchsia, with glowing Luminary particles, and white numbers.

The color palette here is extremely similar to Chessex Nebula Wisteria, but the colors are more opaque and packed in more densely.

Festive Toybox was exclusive to the 2024 Chessex Holiday Calendar, an advent calendar in the shape of a cube with numbered compartments containing mystery dice.

All calendars contain the same 5 exclusive dice sets plus some other odds and ends. The product names are not printed on the outside of the box, and there's only one product number for everything in the box, so the dice inside were a complete mystery until opened (unless you cheated and read a review!).

I love the fuchsia swirls in this d10.

As of June 2025, Chessex still had some 2024 Holiday Calendars in stock. A number of retailers also still have these in stock.
