Bag and Wander is a relatively new subscription box that sends you a box of items great for travel or other on-the-go needs.

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

The Cost: $29.95

The Products: “A package of 5-7 products, selected from unique brands, are paired with the current season that get sent monthly. But don’t fret, they’re versatile enough to be used anytime, anywhere. Well-suited not only for travelers, but young professionals, gym-goers, students, busy moms and jet-setters alike.”

This box includes a card detailing the items included. This month's theme is Happy Camper. (And for October they added some candy corn as a bonus!)

UCO Mini Candle Lantern - Value $13

This is an adorable mini lantern. To give you a better sense of scale - it fits a tea light. Colors will vary for subscribers, and I feel like I lucked out getting black.

F As In Frank Papergoods Deer Matchbox - Value $3

This is an adorable little matchbox - I think it's a fun addition for the theme.

Sweet Lydia’s Original S’more  - Value $4

My husband Eric absolutely LOVED this S'more! It is described as a "Gourmet Vanilla Marshmallow is sandwiched between two graham crackers, covered in milk chocolate," so I'm not surprised he's a fan!

Handwoven scarf by Elizabeth Koh - Value $36

A little more about Elizabeth Koh:

With each scarf sold, EK provides housing, education, and a loving home environment to children in Thailand through our partnership with SOS Children’s Villages. Check out this page for more information on our benefit program.

This scarf is a thin, loose weave and should work in almost any climate. We just had some 45-degree weather, so this scarf isn't looking nearly toasty enough for me, but it will be great for Spring and Summer.

Three Sisters Apothecary Rose & Coconut Milk Bar Soap  - Value $3.25

Three Sisters Apothecary makes the best soaps! I don't always like rose scents, but this one is a winner for me!

Naked Botanicals Insect Repellent in Lavender - Value $5

I never thought I'd say this, but I really like the scent of this insect repellent! I can't weigh in on its insect repelling yet, but it isn't human repelling! (If you love lavender, I think you'll love it).

Also, I signed up for a 3-month subscription to take advantage of their free Baggu promo they had earlier this month:

But the free gift changed:

Here is the new free gift:

Tricoastal Design Cat Tote Bag - Value $12

I appreciate that they replaced a cat tote with a cat tote! This one is adorable too.

Verdict: This box has a value of about $64 (not counting the value of the tote since it was a new subscriber promo item). I think that value is great for this type of box, and I really enjoyed this box even though I'm not a camper at all (I'm not even a glamper!).
