Ecocentric Mom time again!
If you’re unaware, Ecocentric Mom is a unique subscription box that features mom & baby products that are eco-friendly, natural, organic, and often vegan-friendly. There are 3 different box options to choose from. I (still) subscribe to the “Mom & Baby” box, but they also offer a “Mom-to-Be Box” and just a plain ol’ “Mom” box. They also recently announced a new “Ecocentric Box” for women in general (moms and non-moms alike!). [read more…]

November’s Hamptons Lane box features a great theme to kick of the holidays — “Tarts & Pies”!
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.

If you’re not aware, GlobeIn is a monthly subscription box that features handcrafted goods by artisans around the world. Each month features a new theme with products supplied by various artisans.

From the Lab is probably the most unpredictable subscription box around — in terms of when/how often it ships. It’s supposed to be a monthly box, but this is only the third one I’ve received since February. Very bizarre indeed.
If you’re new to them, From the Lab is a monthly beauty box that sends you luxury brand beauty products at a drastically lower cost — months before they’re released to the US market. They source their products from some of the same beauty labs that luxury brands develop their lines in. However, they’re able to offer them at a much lower cost because they don’t do extensive marketing campaigns or worry about pretty packaging. This also allows them to get the products to you as early as 18 months before they hit store shelves. [read more…]
GlobeIn has just announced the final spoiler for their November 2015 “Bedroom” box! (I think this may be my favorite GlobeIn box to date!) [read more…]

Gifts can include jewelry, books, home decor, fashion accessories, and more. With every box sold, Loved + Blessed donates a portion of the proceeds to Union Rescue Mission, an organization that helps the homeless. [read more…]
