Mini Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome January 2018 Review

With this box, you’ve got to expect the unexpected. Let’s check out this month’s haul:

There were a few bits of paperwork in the box, including cards about other subscription companies under the same umbrella company.

There’s also a coupon for Naked Wines.

There’s also a sheet of brain teasers, fun facts, and puzzles!

Be My Valentine Charlie Brown Miniature Book – Retail Value $5.95

Charlie Brown is my absolute faaaaavorite cartoon (maybe my favorite character) of all time. I grew up watching the animated series, collecting Snoopy stuffed animals and ornaments, and of course, reading the comic strips every Sunday. I’ve seen the movie version of Be My Valentine Charlie Brown many times, so I love the idea of having a tiny book version! I might sit this on my mantle as a bit of Valentine’s Day decor.

Pom Pom Hat

The holidays may be long over, but winter hasn’t let up one bit. I like that this knit hat is cozy as ever without feeling too sparkly and holiday-ish. The fibers are ultra soft and plush, and the pom-pom on top is playfully oversized. I kind of wish it was just one color, rather than three (especially because the divisions between the color blocks aren’t super crisp, though I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be intentional or not). But it’s cute and warm, which is my top priority.

“Survival Grenade” Survival Kit – Retail Value $7.49

This “grenade” is actually just a bunch of handy survival tools wrapped up in a pocket-sized package. There’s cord, a tiny knife, tin foil, cotton tinder, fish hooks, and a few other odds and ends. I’m not that adventurous of a gal, but I can imagine how I might MacGyver some of these bits together to make a fire, catch a fish, string valuables on a tree, etc. Fingers crossed I never need this kit, but I suppose it’s good to have in my kitchen drawer just in case!

The Verdict: I’m a little meh on the survival kit, just because it doesn’t quite match my lifestyle (and hopefully won’t match it anytime soon…), but the hat was pretty cozy and the Charlie Brown book was right up my alley. I liked that the book and hat are seasonal picks perfectly timed for winter and Valentine’s Day. These goodies are all really random, but it was nice getting some timely items.

To Wrap Up:
