Tandem Lane Subscription Box Review – May 2014

I must have an old soul, I could see myself enjoying this box myself!

That photo book is from kolo 🙂

Can you add this to the swap area? Got some items from it want swap. Or it ok if I go ahead list under something else?.. thanks

I am a bit confused now. I assumed that this box, which has been reviewed by multiple websites now, would be what my mom gets as her May box. I just got an email though that says:

“Your Tandem Lane gift is on its way…Our Mother’s Day themed package includes items specifically selected to help your loved one feel appreciated. Contents include a beautiful diary, aromatherapy bath salts, an embroidered handkerchief, craft tea and a tea infuser, an indulgent brownie and themed puzzles. And, of course, your photos and note if you chose to include those!”

I think “elderly” is a bit off wording with this, I could see my mom who is 65 enjoying it, although I talk to her so often the photos and letter thing is kind of silly, my grandparents who are in their late 80s though would hate it, as most elderly have specialized diets my grandma wouldn’t be able to eat the nutrigrain bar because of it’s high sugar, and both would be grossed out by the chia (i put chia in like every thing and have offered it to them so I know for a fact)

I can’t see any of the pictures! But it sounds like a great box.

I don’t mean to be off topic in the comments Liz but I’ve emailed twice with no response I want to add swap items from the Cocotique subscription box but it’s not listed.

Those Chia squeezes are my favorite! Mamma Chia also makes a chia drink (basically the same thing), and I buy them by the case.

I thought the book was really pretty!

I bought the three month subscription for $40 via Gilt City for my mom (she’s 65) for mother’s day. They’ve not shipped the May box yet, but I was able to email them up to five photos and a note of up to around 300 words, I think. I sent photos from our honeymoon but now I don’t know what I’ll do for next month… I don’t have kids, which would make it a lot easier.

Anyway I don’t see mom liking the Chia Squeeze Vitality Snack. AT ALL. I don’t think she’s ever done Sudoku, but hopefully she’ll give it a shot and like it!

i love love love the idea of care packages for the elderly!

I think this is a great idea! Love it. May have to do this. I have a mother in law in another state I was thinking about and an elderly Aunt.
