My Bake Box Review

I did a survey recently, and asked what box do you wish existed.  The most popular answer (see the results HERE) was a baking box!   I did some research and found a baking box.  A bake box sends at least one high quality baking ingredient plus decorating tools to make cupcakes.  Each month is a new flavor with fun items.  Bake Box was very generous and sent me a box to review.  I must admit, I am not a great cook. I was a bit nervous about getting this box.  Prior to this box, I had never made cupcakes with homemade icing.  Read on to see if I burned the house down.

Yankee Hollow Review and 3 Month Giveaway

I really love cheese and I was so excited when I saw a new subscription box for cheese, Yankee Hollow.  Yankee Hollow sent me a box to review, and I couldn’t wait to dig in.   I live in a rural area and we don’t have many gourmet cheeses in the area.  I have seen some gourmet cheese sections in grocery stores, but I never knew what to pick.  Yankee Hollow doesn’t send you regular cheese from the grocery store.  Each month Yankee Hollow sends you an assortment of artisanal cheeses along with information about that cheese.  You get tasting notes and tips on beer and wine to pair with your cheese. The Details: Cost: $35.00 a month Whats in the box? “Each month, you’ll get 1-2 lbs of cheese. The hope is that you’ll love them all, of course…but this is a way to try new cheeses you’ve many never had! The weight of cheese is broken down into 2-4 different types. Usually you’ll get 3.” When am I billed?  10th of the month for monthly customers, every 3 months for the 3 month subscriptions and the same with yearly subscriptions. When does the box ship? Go HERE to see the full shipping schedule through Sept 2014   Cancel policy?  You must cancel by the 10th of the month. Website http://www.yankeehollow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YankeeHollow Twitter: @YankeeHollow Yankee Hollow Box First Look Packaging There was an ice pack at the bottom and two sheets of insulation padding.  The cheese was wrapped in brown paper with some straw filling.  The cheese was nice and cool.  The box was sent 2 day priority and two hours after the box was opened, the packing was still cool Information Cards Each cheese comes with a colorful card that tells about each cheese Information Card-Back I loved how detailedContinue Reading

Doteable Women’s Dorm Duffel Review and Discount

Doteable sent me the classic duffel to review this month, and I was excited to get it.  Doteable is a monthly subscription service that sends a duffel of goodies and other essentials to college students.  I reviewed the mini duffel HERE.  I love all the new college subscription boxes,  I have a couple of lucky cousins who are going to get some awesome care packages.  One thing I really like about Doteable, is how versatile their care packages are. Doteable is a perfect gift for college students but would make great gifts for teens and adults.
