I have a bit of a sailors mouth, one might say, so I think this month's theme is right up my alley. This month it's "Get Your Sh*t Together" which is also a good kick in the butt for me, the ever procrastinator. These items kinda walk the line between a healthy snort when you first unwrap them and going "Ew", just a little.
I love that this box supports small indie makers of a myriad of items, all of them being women as far as I can tell. It's nice to receive a box that you know is uniquely curated and full of things not everyone already has. It's also a great way to find new vendors you may have never known existed otherwise!
The thank you note from Abby & Kim is a nice touch.
There's another little card enclosed with a quote that runs with this month's theme, and chance to win a bonus item in your next box for reviewing. Free stuff is always cool!
"I hope your day is as nice as your butt" Greeting Card - Value $4.00
I think this minty/teal letterpress card is rather lovely. I have a few lady friends with nice butts that would really appreciate me calling it out and brightening their day.
Dat Booty Lip Balm - Value $3.75
Humphrey's Handmade has a slew of funny lip balms in unique flavors, but I like this simple mango flavored bees wax one. Are you picking up on the theme yet?
Hot Sh*t Pot Holder - Value $10.00
This mint pot holder with gold 'n white triangles and black lettering is quite literally for holding "hot sh*t", but I see what they did there! The back has a silver heat resistant backing and it features a hanging loop, so you can display this in your kitchen and let your guests know how highly you feel about yourself! Super cute design!
"Wake up, Kick Ass, Repeat" Blank Notebook - Value $3.00?
One can never have too many blank notebooks for jotting down to-do lists, journal entries, or song lyrics. This one is a simple Smartass & Sass branded book with a sort of water color-y style design with blue, red, and deep purple, with a reminder to kick ass each and every day. I like that sentiment.
Poop Washi Tape - Value $4.50
This gross-yet-cute washi tape by Julie Ann Art made me giggle. I'm a big fan of washi tape, but haven't seen anything quite like this! I know in Japan, poop is good luck, so don't turn your nose up at this too quickly! Her other tapes look pretty awesome too! Great discovery!
"Take a Poop? Please Light a Match" Matches - Value $4.00
These are actually really nice, classy matches that are obviously cheeky as well. They come in packs of 3 for $12 from Inkspot Workshop. I light a lot of candles, so I am always in need, and these are of course perfect for guests in the bathroom.
"Do Epic Sh*t" 15 oz Mug - Value $16.95
This mug is HUGE! I drink coffee every morning and collect mugs, so this is a real treat for me. I love the orange and pink lettering giving me permission to go ahead and "Do Epic Sh*t", because some mornings I just forget to, ya know?
Bonus Item!!
Smartass & Sass Stickers - Value $2.00?
I'm overjoyed by all of the stickers I've been receiving in boxes lately, and these are no exception. The colors are really great, and have some silly-ass things to say! I'll definitely be sticking these on stuff that I mail out to my friends!
Verdict: I quite liked my first month of Smartass and Sass! I can see some people not being into all the butt and poop jokes, but I am sort of a rough & tumble, snarky gal, so I can appreciate these items. I thought the design of all the items were great, and the colors were harmonious and pleasing. The message was crass, yet positive, which I can get down with. I love love loved the mug and will no doubt find uses for all the other items. I'm actually tempted to order some pizza and/or boob washi tape now too! The dollar value calculated to $48.20, so this box has more than paid for itself.
What do you think of Smartass and Sass? Is it "too much" or "not enough" sass for you?
