Put a Bow On it Premium Canadian Subscription Box October 2016 Review and Coupon

While the US seems to be overflowing with subscription boxes, Canadians either get to pay outrageous shipping prices to receive one from the US or desperately hope there's one that suits already shipping in Canada. Put A Bow On It is a Canadian lifestyle subscription that mirrors as a phenomenal girl-gift. Not only is it packed with fun, useful goodies but it even arrives beautifully wrapped with pretty paper and ribbon.
I really did smile while opening this. It's not every day I get a gift wrapped package! While this is the Premium box, there are actually two choices you can make. The Deluxe box is $39.99 CAD and will arrive with up to a $100 value. The Premium Box is $59.99 CAD and has a value of up to a $150.

Both boxes are charged shipping. That's $10CAD for Canadians and $22.50CAD to the US ($17.50USD). Don't let that get you down. If there's one thing I've learned about Canada, it's that their shipping prices are absolutely unreal. I know a couple subscriptions (OwlCrate being one) actually drive their boxes over the border to ship them to their US subscribers. Now that's dedication.

Co Op Crate October 2016 Subscription Box Review and Coupon

I've found a new subscription box to love and it's called Co-Op Crate. This was probably one of my favorite unboxings for October. With our trip to New Zealand hogging the majority of my month, this has taken longer to review than it would normally. Especially with the amount of love I have for it.
If you're a follower of my blog, you already know I have a special place in my heart for boxes that send products from small businesses and small batch artisans. One of the reasons for this is that I love supporting women owned businesses and they tend to crop up wonderfully often in boxes like these. I'm always happy to give a boost to women doing what they love. Co-Op Crate is all about finding the best handmade goodies from around the country and depositing them on your doorstep. I found some amazing items this month and all I had to do was open my front door. And that's what Co-Op Crate is all about. Surprising you every month with unique, handcrafted items from hardworking artisans from all over the US. It doesn't get much better than that!

The Cost: $39.99/month plus shipping (to my state it's $10)

What You Get: A collection of 5-9 artisan, hand crafted products from small and independent businesses from around the country. Each month is a different collection of products, ranging from snacks and candles, home goods or spices and jewelry!

Kloverbox October 2016 Review and Coupon

This might be my favorite Kloverbox in quite awhile. I love the Fall feel of it so much. Especially because there are scented products that are not lavender. I don't know what it is but it seems like natural boxes tend to go so overboard on lavender scents when there are so many other wonderful options.
Every box has an information card describing what you've received. Make sure to check for coupon codes because they'll be listed along with the product. So if you want more, you can purchase at a discount directly from the company.

The Cost: $25/month.

What You Get: Receive premium natural, cruelty-free and organic products to sample from top brands and hand-picked by health conscious curators in beauty, health, nutrition and home categories.

Happy Rebel Box Fall 2016 Review and Coupon

Happy Rebel Box, which you will notice shortly, has an edgy, rocker sort of vibe that I really like. While I love my girly things, I'm also partial to what my husband calls a "goth chick" sense of style. Hey, I like hardware, I can't help it. And my latest pair of boots fits right in with the theme for this box.

For some reason I totally skipped reviewing the summer Happy Rebel Box. Now the Fall one has arrived and I'm determined to make sure I get the review up. After the very first Happy Rebel Box (which you can see here), I signed up for a one year subscription. I loved that first box so much! The second one had a round towel, tote bag, a silicon set of wine glasses and a black lace kimono. I ended up loving the kimono that I thought I would hate and unhappy with the round towel I thought I would love because it faded horribly after one wash. I'm not sure that I'd ever use the silicon wine glasses. They're very... unstable. If you accidentally squeeze it too hard while you're talking, its gonna go everywhere!

Back to this season's box!

The Cost: $100/quarterly

What You Get: Each box will contain 4-6 items that will vary box to box, so you will never receive the same types of items repeatedly. Each box could contain jewelry, fashion accessories, home decor, beauty products, as well as other various lifestyle items that fit the collection of the box as well as the Happy Rebel modern and edgy style.

Something Snacks September 2016 Subscription Box Review and Coupon

Something Snacks sends a themed box of sweet and savory snacks every month. This review is for the September "Honey" box. It's a little late because of all the moving chores I'm swamped with, though. I like Something Snacks because I know there will always be something crunchy and delicious as well as something more on the dessert spectrum. And while there may be one or two "healthy" type items, for the most part its tasty, satisfying goodness.

The Cost: $13/month

What You Get: Each box will contain 7 new and tasty, hand selected snacks. You can expect something familiar and something more out of the ordinary.

Chococurb Mini October 2016 Chocolate Subscription Box Review and Coupon

If you're looking for a subscription that's all about chocolate, Chococurb is perfect. I love the fact that you can customize it to your chocolate preferences but even more than that is how they send good chocolate. The bars I've received have been rich, decadent and creative. The majority of them have also been brand new to me, as well. It's hard to get hooked on so many delicious, hand crafted chocolates.

There are three different sizes you can choose from now. There's the Nano, which is $10 and has five small to medium chocolates in it each month, the Mini which includes an assortment of 3 specialty chocolates and the Regular that's $35 with an assortment of 5 to 7 chocolates or chocolate related items. These items can come from small, local chocolatiers to more established, national brands.

This review is for the Mini Chococurb box.

The Cost: $20/month.

What You Get: Three specialty chocolates or chocolate related items from small, local chocolatiers to more established, national brands.

Enjoy Leggings September 2016 Review and Coupon

If you haven't heard of Enjoy Leggings, you're in for a treat. I'm totally loving it. Every month you'll get a new pair of super soft, extra comfy leggings. They're usually patterned and colorful so it's not like you're getting boring woolly black ones. Nothing wrong with woolly black ones, of course, but those are easy to find.
When you sign up, you'll get to choose your size but the patterns are the same for everyone. Sizes start at 2-4 (Small) and go to 14-18 (Plus). Although, I think the last two I got were One Size so...

The Cost: $16/month.

What You Get: One fashionable and fun pair of quality leggings every month.

Let me just say that these might be the most comfortable leggings I've ever owned. I'm actually slightly addicted to them now. They're so cute I wear them out but they're so comfy I wear them staying in, too.

It's like getting the Farmer's Market delivered to your door.

The Cost: $35/month plus shipping (It's $44.90 total to WA)

What You Get: A combination of wholesome and homemade specialty food products, handmade candles, soaps, or other beauty products or other health and wellness items and/or sustainably-sourced coffee and tea, unique crafts or locally made chocolates and candies.
