Let’s see what’s in the September 2015 Austin BatBox!
Everything shipped in a medium-sized white box with a BatBox logo sticker.
A peek inside.
September’s box was themed “Bat to School” and the info card listed all the items I’d find inside.
Bat to School Sweater Clips by Bombshell Kitty – I’ve never worn sweater clips before, but if I ever find a need for some, here they are! The little black bats are super cute and would make a great Halloween accessory if you’re not into sweater clips for daily wear.
Julian Acosta High 5 EP USB/Bottle Opener – Well this is different… It’s a USB/bottle opener with a Julian Acosta “High 5” album pre-loaded onto it. It comes with an e-book as well. According to their site, the concept was created to be able to connect with music fans “that enjoy a cold beverage”. Ha.
High Brew Coffee Dairy-Free Black & Bold – I’ve actually never had cold brew before, so I was happy to see that this one’s dairy free. (Yay!) This is made with 100% fair trade coffee beans and has just 20 calories per can.
High Brew Coffee Mexican Vanilla Lip Balm – This wasn’t listed on the info card, so I’m guessing it was just a little bonus item? Not gonna complain about coffee-flavored lip balm!
Tyler’s Austin Drink Koozie – A bright green drink koozie from what looks like a Texas-based department(?) store. Koozies are everywhere these days… are they seriously making a comeback? So weird.
UT Co-op Striped Tote – An orange (brown?) and white striped tote from a popular Texas co-op. Inside were a brochure and discount codes.
“Swag Bag” – September’s swag bag contained a Texas Longhorns 2015 schedule magnet, a few stickers, and a pen.
The Austin BatBox is great for anyone who lives in Austin, or just wants to find out more about the culture there. It would be a great box for someone considering moving to the area or those who have already lived there and may be a bit homesick. 😉
