Dottiebox Mini: January 2015

I got 4 boxes in the mail today! The first one opened was the Dottiebox Mini. Dottiebox Mini is $13/month + $3 shipping and sends 3 handpicked creations each month. Usually at least one of the items reflects a smaller version of what was included in the regular Dottiebox.

The goodies:
-Running Blynd Clothespin/Thumb Tack Set: I got a similar set in the regular Dottiebox, but these are silver. I love glittery things, so I'm happy to add these to my collection.

-Gracious Bee Greetings CD Case Calendar: This mini calendar is contained in a clear plastic case that opens up to act as its stand. I got another version of this in the regular Dottiebox, so I might end up trading this.

-Dottiebox Tassel Keychain: This is a Dottiebox creation pretty much identical to the Box of Happies tassel products that I've been receiving. This is a grey leather tassel keychain with a silver keyring. 

My thoughts: I always like Dottiebox, both the regular and the mini. However, I'm curious about the identical keychains from Dottiebox and Box of Happies. I'm excited to add the silver them tacks and clothespins to my collection.

DottieBox Mini: December 2014

My DottieBox Mini came in the mail yesterday afternoon. DottieBox is a monthly subscription that has regular and "mini" options. I subscribe to both. DottieBox mini is $13/month and $3 for shipping. It includes 3 handpicked creations each month. 

The Goodies:

-Holiday Light Garland from Handmade by Saewon ($8): This garland is so cute. The lights are made of cardstock and are strung on a high-quality twine. It's about 3 feet long. I ended up stringing mine in a double window, although I'm also strongly considering taking it into work. While I don't know that I would pay $8 for it, I definetly do appreciate the time that went into making it. etsy.com/shop/HandmadeBySaewon

-Hot Cocoa Jar from Berry's Creations ($4): This is a cute little glass jar filled with cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. I love cocoa! However, I also know that cocoa is fairly cheap, so I'm wondering whats special about this that makes it $4. However, the packaging is perfect and would make a super cute gift. etsy.com/shop/BerrysCreations

-Gift Tags (2) from Dinglewood Design and Press: These gift tags came at the perfect time. I'm always searching for a classy gift tag when I'm wrapping gifts, and the subscription boxes this month have been on point with sending gift tags. These are created via letterpress, which I think is very neat.

My thoughts: I always love DottieBox mini. The products are always great and I am always able to find some way to use them. I'm super excited to use the gift tags and the garland is hanging up already!

DottieBox Mini: November 2014

The mail brought me my DottieBox Mini late last week. DottieBox Mini is $13/month ($10 + $3 S&H) and includes 2 handcrafted goodies ranging from personal care to home goods to jewelry. 

Dottiebox shipped in a little box...

It included:

-Tokoyo Blossom Earrings:

- Botanical Bars Soap

- A bonus item: Cacao Skinny Chocolate

My thoughts... These earrings are creative, but totally not my style. They'll be going up on eDivv. The soap is something that I can use. Who doesn't use soap? And the chocolate is going to my sister. I like DottieBox Mini. It has such a great price point and always offers such a wide variety of products. 

Dottiebox Mini October 2014

Today the mail brought my Dottiebox Mini!!

Dottiebox mini is $10/month + $3 shipping. This box included two cute button bookmarks by Dottiebox and a pair of tiny heart earrings by Lisa Leonard Designs. The total value of these two items is $32. I think this is a GREAT value for a $10 box. This box also had to coupons- one for Singularity Handmade (www.etsy.com/shop/singularityhandmade) and one for N:U Not The Usual (nottheusual.nu). I checked out both shops and they're super cute. Singularity Handmade has lots of cute, very unique jewelry pieces and Not The Usual sells watches. 

I plan to use both of the items and pass the coupons along in my next divvy. I'm loving Dottiebox and can't wait for next month!
