Each month they fill boxes full of handmade samples like melts, scrubs, candles, gourmet foods, jewelry, tarts, etc from some of the best handmade businesses on the web.
I was a little concerned about getting this because I am highly sensitive to strong scents, especially floral ones, and I knew that some of these things would be highly scented. Luckily, this box was not too bad and I had no issues.
Each box comes filled with 17 - 18 samples, sometimes more. It was certainly fun to open this box up and see that box filled to the brim with all these nicely packaged items. The presentation was very festive. This month's theme is March - Puddle Jumpers Spring Sampler! There are just so many items here that I think I will just show you what there was and identify each one.
JODI'S CRAFT EMPORIUM http://www.etsy.com/shop/JodisCraftEmporium Well I said I would identify each thing but I don't really know what this is haha! I think it might be just a sample of this person's talent. It's too small to be a coaster. It came with a code for 20% next purchase. | SCENTSABILITIES www.scentsabilitiesonline.com Strawberry Melts FUN - FRAGRANT - FABULOUS Just because you're going to melt it, doesn't mean it shouldn't look fabulous before you do!

So as you can see there are alot of soaps and wax things in this box. I'm not sure if it is like this every month since this is the first time I have tried it out. Getting all of this stuff kind of reminds me of going to a trade show where you get to take samples of everything. This is basically like a trade show for Etsy!
Out of the Box Samplers also have Pet Themed boxes which are $20, and a Bodaciously Bigger Box which is $59.95 and comes with 46 - 47 samples. This box that comes with 17 - 18 samples is $27.
The next box for April - called "For Peeps Sake" Easter themed box goes on sale on April 7th, usually at 8:00pm Eastern time.
