I personally love subscription boxes; they are exciting to get & it is a great way to try + find new products. Last year I did a review on a box from a company called Sips and Samples, it was a fun box with a nice assortment of products, and I am lucky enough to get to work with them again to feature the December box plus tell you about their newest feature. In this box you'll find delicious drink options such as energy drinks, tea bags, hot chocolate packets along with fun samples that will range from food, skincare to even apparel or jewelry. This subscription cost $59.99 per box & you can save yourself a little bit of money by buying a longer subscription instead of paying for one box at a time.
One of my favorite features of this subscription is actually a feature that they recently added. Included in the price of the box is a $20 credit that can be used to select a number of items from their shop to include in your subscription box. The items you select will be in addition to what is already included in that month's box. If you want everything in the box to be a complete surprise, you can opt to not select any products before your box ships & the person who is packing your order will select twenty dollars' worth of surprises for you. I loved being able to select one or two things to add to my box, they have one hundred and twenty-one different products to choose from which range in price from $1 up to $20 so depending on what products you find and like, you can end up with one to several extra items in your box.
What is included in this month's box? Here is what I found in my box;
★ Two samples of coffee from Coffee Masters - I received the flavors Hazelnut & Jamaican me crazy. They both smell so good & I love that the samples are big enough to make a whole pot with instead of just a small cup or two.
★ Two Sweet & Spicy herbal tea packets from Good Earth. They smell interesting, I am always up for trying new tea flavors to try and find some I like, so I look forward to trying this.
★ A hot chocolate bomb from Frankford. My kids love hot chocolate bombs like this, so it was one of the first products used from this box.
★ Two chocolate dipped Oreos with holiday design from Chocolate Express. Not only are they cute & festive, but absolutely delicious. This was a lovely treat to get in this box.
★ Christmas morning nail polish by Karma Organics. This polish color is gorgeous, it is a bold red color with a little bit of sparkles. It reminds me of the special red wrapping paper I used to use for my kids for the gifts that were from Santa.
★ Moisturizing hair conditioner from Current. I am always up for trying new conditioners to find something that works the best for my hair, I am going to save this for when my current conditioner is empty.
★ Brightening treatment mask from Aceology. I hadn't heard of this skincare brand before, so I am interesting to see how well this works & look into the other products they have to offer.
The total for the seven products is $57, that total does not include the retail value of any of the products you selected from their shop using your $20 credit. For the credit I received I selected the following products.
★ Smoothie mix packet. This is one of my favorite brands to buy smoothie mixes from so I was happy to be able to select one for my box.
★ A Sweet lemonade mix. I love lemonade so this was a no brainer to select for my box.
★ A cashmere scarf made in Scotland! This scarf is so soft and I love the color.
★ A Caramel apple hot cider bomb. This looked good & sounded good so I wanted to try it out and opted to have it put into my box.
So in total I received eleven different products, two of them I received two packets of making it thirteen items. I am pretty happy with the amount and quality of products in this box & think that the price point for the box is pretty great. It definitely took me a few minutes to decide what I wanted to select from the inventory shop because there were so many great products to choose from. Best of all the inventory they offer changes frequently so if you are someone who chooses to subscribe for a longer period of time there will be new things to browse.
☕ Does this sound like a subscription you would enjoy? What kind of products would you be interested in adding to your box?
