Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review  Box

Yogi Surprise is a new yoga lifestyle inspired subscription box, and they released their first limited edition box for the holidays - so I had to buy one! (FYI - this box is sold out).

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review First Look

My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review  Items

The Box: Yogi Surprise Holiday Box (no longer available for sale)

The Cost: $44.95

The Products: Yogi inspired treats, bath and body items, and accessories.

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review Info

Like the regular Yogi Surprise box, this box came with a card detailing each of the items included.

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review Candle

Young Oasis Soy Massage Candle - Value $13

My candle is unscented, but I can't tell from the info card if there will be variation, so some subscribers may get scented versions. They recommend lighting the candle for 5-10 minutes, then extinguish the flame and use the wax mixture as a balm for hands, cuticles, etc.

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review Carrot

Wild Carrot Herbals Sore Muscle Salvation - .5 oz Value $6

I love the scent of this balm! It's somewhat sweet and a little minty!

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review Strap

Infinity Strap - Value $20

This was the spoiler item for the box, and I am happy to see a yoga specific item in this box. It gets great reviews, and it really is a well-made products. The black threads on the band are made with some type of rubber material to prevent slipping. (Now I think I need to buy the Infinity Strap DVD to get the most out it!)

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review Snacks

Lovely Candy Co. Chewy Original Caramels - Value $2

All Good Provisions Organic High Antioxidant Trail Mix - Value $4

These caramels have dairy in them, so I couldn't try them, but I've tried other vegan and gluten free treats from the Lovely Candy Co. thanks to Love with Food, and I'm a fan! (It's hard not to be a fan of candy!)

The trail mix is great - it's the perfect mix of salty and sweet for me.

Yogi Surprise Holiday Box Review Tea

St. Claire's Organic Throat Soothers - Value $4

Metolius Tea & Apothecary Cardamom Rose Mate Tea - Value $10

This tea is made with mate, cardamom, rose petals, cinnamon and pink peppercorn. It's a unique blend for me, and I'm excited to try it. And fingers crossed I don't get sick this winter, but I will keep these throat soothers in case I need them!

Verdict: This box has a value of about $60. I paid $44.95, so it's a pretty good value, but I think I was expecting it to feel a little more different and special than the regular Yogi Surprise subscription box. Fortunately I really like the regular Yogi Surprise subscription box, so for me that's not that big of a deal. So far my favorite product in this box is the muscle rub, but I think the Infinity Strap may end up being one of my all time favorites once I start using it.

What do you think of the Yogi Surprise Holiday Box? Was it what you were expecting?

My box differed slightly from yours, Liz. I got a Bergamot Coriander scented candle, and my Metolius tea is “Mate Coco Spice”. Plus, supposedly, regular Yogi Surprise subscribers who purchased this box will receive a bonus extra in the January box. I really hope so, because the spoilers promised eight items and I only count seven! Good box, but didn’t really feel special.

I got my walmart winter beauty box today. Just wondering if anyone else did! I’m curious to see the difference in boxes

I got mine today too and am very pleased! See Liz’s review posted a while back for all the versions. I
received Dove nutrium body wash, CG wine lipcolor, Ponds anti-wrinkle cream & toilettes. All but the toilettes were in containers, not foils. I also got a Maybelline powder swatch and Dove oxygen shampoo and conditioner. I feel so-so on the Dove hair stuff since I’ve received lots of those already. Otherwise I think it’s a great mix of new products for $5.
