Now, on to the candles!
Atticus + Finn Candle in Garden Rain – Retail Value $18
This 8-ounce candle is made with phthalate-free fragrance and 100% soy wax. My favorite part? Atticus + Finn is a Pittsburgh, PA-based company!
The scent is a blend of floral notes, the fresh scent of rain, and fresh herbs – very appropriate for the first day of Spring!
Atticus + Finn Candle in Eucalyptus Mint – Retail Value $11
In addition to the 8-ounce candle, this subscription plan also includes a mini 4-ounce candle in another scent. This fragrance is an herbal blend of eucalyptus and spearmint, with additional notes of fresh citrus lemon and lavender. The scent is clean and fresh. I think it is my favorite of the two.
And each Vella Box also comes with a little treat like a food or beauty item:
American Meadows Easy to Grow Wildflowers
They had me at “easy to grow!” Plus this is the prettiest seed packet I’ve ever seen!
Verdict: This box has a retail value of about $30. (Estimating the seed packet to be $1.) That's breaking even with the cost, which is pretty fair for candle boxes, but I should also mention that the values of this subscription are usually higher, so this is a lower month.
If you love discovering new independent candle makers - I would definitely recommend this subscription. Their curation is excellent!
