The February 2016 Hamptons Lane box was shipped a bit later than usual (I received it in March), due to issues with a supplier. — That’s why I’m reviewing it in April. 😉
If you’re new here, Hamptons Lane is a unique subscription box that features a new selection of kitchen tools, artisan foods, tabletop items, and recipes every month. Each box will introduce a different theme which spotlights a specific region, food, skill, ingredient, or activity. The themes are announced beforehand, so if it’s not something you’re interested in you’re free to skip that month’s shipment. You can even choose to substitute it with a past box from their shop.

True Love Box is a monthly subscription box full of “mystery goodies” that you can send to your significant other.
Each box will consist of 4 to 7 full sized products that will vary each month. Items can include clothing & apparel, jewelry, books, bags & accessories, beauty supplies, and more. While the website doesn’t explicitly say that the items are for girls/women, it’s pretty clear by the photos and item descriptions that this is definitely not a “manly” box. It also states that it’s for “ages 16+” and mentions “impressing your girl”, so one can only assume that it’s geared toward teenage boys looking to get a gift for their (also teenaged) girlfriends.

Pop in a Box time!
If you haven’t heard, Pop in a Box is a subscription box that sends you a surprise selection of Funko POP! vinyl figures every month. When you sign up, you’ll be able to use their “Pop Tracker” to select which Pops you already own. This way, you’ll not only be guaranteed not to receive a figure that you already have, but it’s also a great way to easily keep track of your collection. Pop in a Box has hundreds of Pops available, with more being added all the time. To ensure that you don’t get a Pop that you don’t want, there’s an option to “thumbs up or thumbs down” each and every figure. Anything marked thumbs down will NEVER be sent to you (same goes for the Pops that you flagged as already in your collection). Subscribers also have a chance to win exclusive Pops every month!

It’s time for my March 2016 “best subscription boxes” round-up!
Since I review so many different subscription boxes throughout the year, I’ve decided to compile a monthly round-up of my top 5 subscription boxes to highlight the best of the best. The boxes will be chosen based on how awesome they were for that particular month, so hopefully the “winners” will vary a lot from month to month. I’ll take into account my star ratings, but a 5-star review won’t always mean the box will make it to the top 5. Basically, if I loved the contents/curation and/or it had a crazy high overall value, it’ll make the list.
So here they are, in no particular order… [read more…]
