Birchbox Limited Edition Home Sweet Homespun Box Review

I have to agree on the scent of the candle, it is kind of strange, a woody/sweetish smell? Not offensive, but different for sure. I will have to see how it smells when burnt. I was also happy that the gift bag & tags weren’t too holidayish. I liked the maker’s kit photo hanging project, but also don’t think it’s worth $24. I found that my kit came with 10 mini clothes pins, so it was easier to just cut each square in half twice with my rotary cutter at 1.5″ (instead of cutting into thirds twice like the video suggests) I also placed knots between the pins, but that was just my take on it. Oh and she is right about opening the super glue, mine burst all over, so make sure you lay down some newspaper or something if you care about the surface you are working on. I have decided to give this to my sister as a christmas gift, I know she’ll love it!

I really like this box, not as much as last year’s snow day one, but still like it. The cookie mix and sipping chocolate smell amazing. I love the socks and lip gloss, so those items alone made the box worth it for me. I also really liked the hand lotion and the candle smells really good. The hanging photo clips though, no way could that be a $24 value, you could go to hobby lobby and get the supplies for cheaper.

Liz, do you think, they will release more holiday box or is it all?

Hesitant to give a gift with a product called “lippy cow”, whoa.

The cookie mix is my favorite thing in the box.

I am so excited about this box. This is my first experience with Birchbox and I am very pleased after the problems with other subs last month.
When I had a problem adding my credit card a very kind person posted their phone number for me on MSA and BB answered on the 2nd ring, straightened the problem out immediately. The box is on the way and will receive tomorrow.
I added the Crack Pie mix, as I had been planning to make this from scratch. I wasn’t even aware Momofuku had mixes out. So excited 🙂

Nothing to blow me out of the water (except for the mix) but just good stuff! Well curated box imo.

I ordered this box yesterday with the mobile20 code. Looking forward to receiving it. They ship fast and sent a shipping confirmation yesterday. I love the variety of the boxes they offer. It’s always fun to try new things and also gift them to friends I know will enjoy them.

Excited to be getting this; I think I’m going to order another, actually. I’m most excited about the Milk Bar mix, although making cookies from scratch isn’t complicated, I remember looking up the recipe for these and there were some extra steps dealing w/the cornflakes, etc. This will make it super easy. Everything else will make great little “extra” gifts or stocking stuffers. And with points and/or discount codes, you can’t really beat the price.

I’m glad people are so excited about this box, but honestly it doesn’t do much for me aside from the socks and possibly the cookie mix. I’m mostly turned off by the photo clips project, and the gift tags don’t seem like anything special to me either. Lip balm and hand cream look nice, but how many of those items do I already have? If the photo clips and the the tags were replaced by something else (loved that mini Scrabble last year, for example) I’d be all over this, but as it is it’s kind of a miss for me. Super excited for Vanity Affair box, however!

These are my favorite gifts to give to my kids’ teachers. They are at a good price point and feel special.

I think this box is so cute! I am going to use points to get this mostly for myself, but a few of the items will make great gifts as well! The photo project is probably not worth what it claims, but I still think it’s cute and will be perfect to decorate my new desk at work. And I just love socks, lip products, candles, cookies, and chocolate… It actually might be hard to part with any of this stuff after all 😉

Eh, nothing I would really use. I keep such a full pantry that I am ready to make cookies at any time (without a mix). Plus I prefer whole grain flours. The socks would get worn but aren’t really needed. (Same with the hand cream and lip balm.)

Now, the other box they released, I’m trying to save up points for that one. It’s much more my style.
