This is a box I found on Instagram. @lovemymakers offered a themed gift box for June called Spa STAYcation, all about pampering yourself. June was a difficult month for me, so I thought getting myself a nice gift box would be a good idea. They already showed everything that was included and I thought it looked nice so I went for it. The box didn't come with one card detailing everything, but it included a package with confetti and business cards for every maker inside. Also, a few handmade hair ties, stickers and some coupon codes for their shops. |
Unfortunately, the Jelly Bird Signs Etsy shop is empty and is only restocked on thursdays, so I have NO idea what value to give this sign! It's fairly small, 5.5"x2", but very cute and handpainted. I actually always laugh when people get tattoos that say "breathe"... like you'd forget until you look at it. But anyway, I like the distressed wooden look and the gold and green paint look great against the dark wood. I'm sure I'll find a good spot for this. |
I love getting candles in subscription boxes so this was a win. It's Himalayan Bamboo scented, which is very interesting but smells great! It's a nice subtle, almost citrusy smell. Some of their profits go to the ASPCA too! This one is half the size of most of them on their Etsy shop but should get about 10 hours of burn time. | I LOVE these earrings! Anyone purchasing the box would randomly end up with silver or a deep green/blue, but you could make a request and they'd try to honor it. I requested silver and lucked out! These are so pretty and sparkly! The earrings are titanium backed and lead, nickel-free for sensitive ears. They're only 10mm so they're not too big for me either. |
This wasn't listed in the original Instagram posting so I'm calling it a bonus item. It's a very small sample of bath salt - which isn't listed on their StoreEnvy shop, only body butters and lip balms. | This is something I don't think I've ever seen before! I don't even know how to use a solid shampoo bar! I would imagine it's much like a bar of soap - lather it up and use? I guess I'll have to research a bit. This is a small bar, maybe only an ounce or two so I'm guessing on the value. It smells really good though! |
The honey and lemon face mask sounds like it will smell really good when being used! The jar is pretty messy though, it got a little shaken up in transit so opening it is a little dangerous! It's a small container, 0.67oz., but will be enough for 3-4 uses. The lip balm is full sized! It's just called "fruity" so I would imagine it is a blend of several flavors. The ingredients on the website list coconut oil, jojoba oil, beeswax, apricot, banana and cherry oil. Sounds delicious! It smells really good and you can definitely smell the banana in it. The lip balm seems to only be sold in a variety pack of 6 so I divided the value by 6. |
This was one of the main things that made me want this box so much. I've never tried a bath bomb before and now that I have a full bath tub (I've had a stall shower for 3 years now!) I really want to try one. This one looks so nice! I think it was a custom made one just for this box because it looks like they aren't available anymore but I used a value of very similar ones on their Etsy shop. The ingredients list things like coconut oil, grapeseed oil, Dead Sea salt, sugar, witch hazel, and essential oils - all of which sound great for a nice relaxing bath! I haven't had a chance to try this yet but I think I will very soon. It looks good enough to eat! Although, it does say DO NOT EAT on the bottom of it. I wonder how many people complained about the taste. |
