FRAGRANT AN AND A GOOD PROCE.
Cowboy & Cricket Candle Co on Nov 2021
Intoxicatingly fragrant! Burned well. I loved that they had many scents to choose from! I just wish they had larger candles/

VERY NICE!
Lyfe Lax on Aug 2021
I didn't know what to expect! I chose the booties type in any color. WOW! I received a lovely pair of above -the-ankle booties in a beautiful pink quilted material, and lined in a super soft and comfy interior. The bottoms had a star pattern and indentations for a good grip. These are better quality than you would find in a retail store.. So comfy for winter! Next quarter I've signed up for slip-ons. This is an honest review. I don't know these vendors nor do I have any connection to them.

NEVER RECEIVED MY 3RD BAG.
The Brittle Box Candy Company on Aug 2021
I opted for a 3 month subscription. I only received 2 months, not 3. On Aug 2, I contacted the vendor who stated they would look into it. Here it is now, Aug 18th and I haven't heard a word. I give up. The brittle was made with really fine ingredients-- but too thick and tasteless for me.--it's not worth fighting over.

DISAPPOINTING
Lollies By Leah on Aug 2021
I did not like these lollies at all! They were beautifully packed, the presentation was lovely , the flavors looked interesting and they were very pretty and well-made That's where it ends. The lollies tasted flat, and very sweet with flavors so subtle that I could hardly differentiate the flavors from one another. There was not 1 tart, flavorful lolly in the entire batch. My family tried every all of them and left them on the table.

BEAUTIFUL AND FRAGRANT! WORTH EVERY PENN
Carolina Mountain Soap Company on Jul 2021
I was so surprised to receive such beautiful and fragrant soaps! The pictures really dont capture the artisrtry that has gone into making these soaps. This was my first month and I received ROSE-- my favorite! It had the most beautiful and delicate swirls in it and a very light coating of fine glitter on top!. The other bar was WATERMELON and had the layers of a watermellon again with a fine dusting of glitter in top. Rally nice! I had subscribed for 3 months but I am so please with these soaps that I will re-subscribe.

BIZARRE!
Buy Local Box on Jun 2021
Is that all they make in that part of Vermont--medicinal products? what happened to all the maple products made in ?Vermont? why was this box filled with just natural healing products like headache balm, dry skin cream, sore muscle balm? Also, the 1 piece of candy was inedible as it was so hard. This was my first and only box. I kept the lip balm and threw everything else away. This box was bizarre!

NOT FOR ME !
The Appalachian Artisan on Jun 2021
This box is not for me. I received my first box today and was really disappointed. I received a thinly striped, very stretchy scar in dreadful yellowish-tan and black, with black tassels on both ends. This was definitely vintage. How vintage? My gr-grandmother had a dress in this exact pattern but in a stiffer material that mu mom kept for years! I used to play dress-up in it as a child!
Next was a Himalayan necklace in a bizarre pattern on a long black , very stiff, cheap cord that just wouldnt hand right around my neck.
Next was a Himalayan Christmas ornament that was not Christmasy at all! It was a pink and white circle.
Also enclosed was a thin plastic bad half full of Himalayan bath salts with teatree. It is an ugly grey color and has a musty type of odor. There is no way I would gift this, and I certainly wouldnt use it myself.
Lastly was a very nice yellow patterned face mask which unfortunately has an odor. I will definitely have to wash it before wearing.
This box is not for me. This first box is my last one. Also, why all the Himalayan salt items? I dont understand that at all!

WAY TOO PRICEY!
Find49 on Jun 2021
Including shipping, I paid $ 67 for this box. for $ 67, I received 3 items--a a medium-sized sized notebook with a plain black cover, a black synthetic beanie with an Alaskan label on the front and bath salts. I will say that the notebook was sturdy, the hat was of good quality. The bath salt s came in a lovely 6 inch cardboard cylinder and had the fragrance of peppermint.. I'm sure that prices in Alaska are much higher than the lower 49, but $ 67 for these 3 items were just too much to pay.

Comfortable masks
The Peanut Gallery Handmade Mask Pack on Jun 2021
I subscribed for 2 months--Dec and Jan. They were well-made, good quality and were very comfortable around the ears due to a very small loose type of elastic which lessened pressure behind the ears. I just didnt like the patterns and only kept 3 out of the 6. The Dec mailer 2 peppermint candy designs-1 with red peppermints on a white background and 1ppermint candy on a green background. why 2 masks with peppermint candy? The 4rs was stars on a red background. I kept that one. The other 2 were given to my cousin who is a kindergarten teacher. January consisted of 2 very dull prints--one with triangles and one with a celestial motif but in very dull, bland colors. Even my husband and brother didnt want these. I gave these to a friend who works in an assisted living home for the residents. I kept the third one-- stars on a blue background. The patterns were just not right for mr.

SERIOUSLY??!!
Say it with Grace Box on Jun 2021
II paid $50 for a box of STATIONERY box, not a METAPHYSICAL box! The only stationery items -- a set of 6 ugly notecards and black post-its with a white gel pen! Heaven help you if the black post-its and the white pen become sepearated! Otherwise, what am I supposed to do with that monstrosity of a huge macrame dream catcher done in a quarter moon? There was also a bundle of white sage that I'll throw in the fireplace. I can't believe I wasted $50 on this so-called stationery box! What a shock and disappointment!

LOVELY BOX!
MyRenovar on Jun 2021
I received my Sept box and was very happy with it! I felt .t that I I received good value for my money.. I loved the blue ceramic fish and the oven mitt set--those were my favorites. The tablecloth was lovely and since I use placemats and a runner, I will use the tablecloth at my picnic table. The planter was very very nice and I gave it to a neighbor who is talented with houseplants as I have a black thumb. The only item I thought was totally worthless and ugly was the artificial plant. It was not aesthetically pleasing at was the ugly artificial houseplant\t. I can't imagine what possesed them to include that! It went into the trash. Considering everything, it was a nice box and I will continue my subscription.

A different opinion
L'Atelier Emma&Chloé on Jun 2021
As yet, I've not had the problems of the previous reviewer. I received my first box in December which consisted of a pair of feather dangling-type gold earrings and and, as an added first subscription gift, , they included a most unusual and fascinating bracelet.
My January box arrived 2 days ago and contained a very lovely delicate necklace with an Egyptian motif. It had red enamel "stones: in the center and i was very pleased with it. When i put it on however, a link just plain broke! I contacted the company and, per their request, sent them a photo of the broken necklace, I am waiting to see how they handle this matter.
In the interim, i have purchased a lovely gold cuff bracelet from their site and awaiting it's arrival.
Except for those feather earrings, i have been very pleased with the unusual, classy pieces they carry.
I've had no mail delivery problems at all.
UPDATE
L'Atelier Emma&Chloé on Jun 2021
My replacement necklace arrived in perfect condition and Emma even included a pair of lovely earrings for my trouble. The cuff bracelet also arrived and it is stunning! I've had no problems at all with delivery. Emma and Chloe is the only jewelry subscription I have Although they are a little pricey, the pieces are gorgeous and high quality designer pieces..

WORTH EVERY PENNY! GREAT USEFUL ITEMS!
Touch of New England on Apr 2021
I really love this box! It is my first one and if I had known it was so nice, I would have subscribed a long time ago! I received a pair of the loveliest, thickest, warmest mittens ever, a large candle which looks exactly like a pinecone and just as fragrant as a pinecone, a jar of goat's milk body cream in the fragrance of " winter snow"-- a really lovely fragrance--,, a nice-sized bad of buttered maple popcorn--really yummy!-, a lip balm in a pear flavor, and a "milk bottle" filled with hot chocolate mix which was also quite good! Oh! and I can't forget the mug!! normally I frown when I receive mugs ... but this one was so nice and had such an easy- grip handle! It's a keeper! The box itself had a lovely presentation with dark green tissue paper and and dark green sizzles, and each item was wrapped very well. I am the type of person who will give a food review if the box is worthy of it and a lousy review if I feel I've been ripped off. This box is really nice and well-worth the money!

LOVELY, TASTEFUL EARRINGS!
Mystery Earrings Factory on Feb 2021
My 3 latest pairs of earrings were really BEAUTIFUL! I received a pair of large hoops with a twisted effect, dangling stars with a rhinestone in the center and small hoops with small coins hanging from them.. They were all of very good quality and are so lightweight you hardly know that you are wearing them! They arrived very well packaged. I am very happy and will continue my subscription.

LOVELY ITEMS--GOOD VALUE.
Lather and Light Co's Spa and Soap Boxes on Feb 2021
It was a really nice box for a good price. I appreciated the orange ylang ylang fragrance which was really lovely and the candle had a wood wick!!!!! The heart-shaped soap was a good size an very thick although I wish t had been wrapped in plastic. The items came in a plain cardboard box but with solidly packed shredding. I did like the items I received.

Really pretty pretzels!
The Pretzel Co. on Dec 2020
The pretzels arrived very well wrapped, cradled in plenty of sizzles to keep them safe. The pkfg contained really cute Halloween decor . The pretzels were so cute-- so well-crafted--delightful to look at! I loved the white chocolate pretzels! My problem--- and it is MY problem, not the company--is that although I love white choc and milk choc, I detest dark chocolate and most of the pretzels were covered with dark chocolate and I had to give them away--sigh. Otherwise, they were quite nice!

Fleur Luxury Box on Dec 2020
I hesitated about purchasing this box as I rarely wear perfume-- too many years of being a nurse I guess, and most patients become nauseated when health care workers wear perfume. I really bought this box for the necklace. I am so happy with this box! The necklace is exquisite! It looks so expensive and is in shades of beige and white--so elegant!. I was really surprised with the perfume! It has such a delicate, non-evasive, sophisticated fragrance/ It is described as woody a nd oriental. I really love it and my husband, who normally detests perfume, is quite fond of it. I The 2 sample perfumes were lovely as well. all the fragrances are subtle and not the " get in your face" kind. I will purchase this box again!

A really nice box!
The Appalachian Mercantile on Dec 2020
I really liked this box! I wasn;t too sure when I ordered it as I am not A country type of woman but this box really surprised me! I received a nice sized bag of very good coffee, a yummy goat;s milk chocolate bar, a jar of truly delicious SEEDLESS raspberry jam ( You Appalachians make really good jam! ) Also nice were the 4 shower fizzies in different colors and fragrances.
The only item I could not use was the machine carved tree. It was just too plain. I gave it to my sister who has a talent for crafts. She painted it green, and adorned it with a glitter paint that looks like glistening snow and painted little round balls on it as ornaments. The tree now graces here mantle above her fireplace. I will continue my subscription and see what comes next!

I ordered 3 soaps as a 1 time gift to myself to see if I would like them well enough to subscribe. The small box arrived slightly damages but the soaps were intact. I thought the soaps were really beautiful, well-crafted and high quality. The problem for me was the I thought the fragrances were harsh and one scent was almost indistinguishabe from the other.

MAPLE HEAVEN!-- AND I MEAN REAL MAPLE!
francoislambert.one on Dec 2020
My parents were French-Canadian and as a child, we would travel to Quebec city, Montreal, Auclair and St Ephrem to visit relatives. We would come home with the most wonderful maple syrup and maple taffy ever! Well, this is IT! This is not Log Cabin or Mrs Butterworth--this is the real deal! OMG! All the items were heavenly! Products made of real maple are not cheap--it takes gallons of sap just to make 1 quart. For those of you who think this box is pricey, it is NOT! This box is very reasonably priced and and worth every penny! I loved every item from the maple sugar to the maple` cotton candy to the maple butter! LOVE THIS BOX and will continue to subscribe.

Cape Cod Calling on Dec 2020
I received my first box and loved it! I purchased the $40 box and the items are received were delightful! I received a stunning-- and I mean STUNNING pair of dangly earrings with a starfish and sea glass bead motif-- so well crafted! Then there were note cards- just gorgeous and reminiscent of the psychedelic era and Peter Max but with the artists own flair, a lovely fragrant ocean scent candle and a jar of sea glass candy in assorted flavors--nice flavors and the candy really does look like sea glass! The owner, Denise, is so sweet and very helpful. This is my honest opinion-- i really do love this box and can hardly wait for my next one!

Essentials for Women on Dec 2020
I received my scarves today in a strong mailer-- all the items were individually wrapped in plastic and arrived in perfect condition. I received 2 scarves and a really cute tie-dye mask. I expected more of what was shown in the picture nut I received very different things. both scarves were the same other than color .Both were made of the same lovely material and were traditional scarves with fringe on both sides and were a good length. I kept the white one but not the hot ink scarf. I think that pink is a woman's least favorite color and that hot pink was just too much to take. I think the owner should remove pink--especially hot pink from her color color palette. That one will be given to charity. Pretty mask though!
ADDENDUM: My sister arrived shortly after I wrote my review , looked at the scarves and exclaimed: There are summer colors! Why were you sent summer colors at the end of Sept?"
Yes--why? Now I am really disappointed.
