Smartass and Sass is a monthly subscription box designed for gals with a sense of humor.
(NSFW FYI – not all the contents of the box may be suitable for viewing at work. Just a heads up!)
Each month, you'll receive 4-8 awesomely irreverent items handmade by artists and small businesses. The women behind Smartass & Sass might not take themselves too seriously, but they are serious about supporting the creatives behind the items in their box and paying a fair price for their quality goods. Smartass & Sass also offers a $15.95 Shirt-only Box and $49.95 Big Box.
This is a review of the $34.95 a month box.

Smartass & Sass June 2018 Review
Smartass & Sass comes with a booklet that has all the info you’ll ever need about them, and the items in the box. Each month has an overall theme and this time it’s “Nobody Likes a Shady Beach ” which celebrates the strong summer vibes we all are feeling this time of the year!
I Don’t Give a Flock Zippered Tote - Listed Value $18
I love everything about this tote. I love the pink and cream colors, I love flamingos, I love the zipper closure, and I definitely love the cheeky saying. Most of all, I love how roomy this is! This was my carry-on for a recent trip to Vegas that had all of my clothes, and I was totally set with enough clothes in this bad boy. I also appreciated the long handles that made it easy to lug my packed bag over my shoulder, and even with this stuffed to the brim, it was still sturdy and secure.
Here is a photo with the beach ball in the bag with tons of room to spare.
Bee-Och Mineral Sunscreen, 2 oz – Retail Value $16
This sunscreen has only five ingredients, and all of them are ones I understand. That impressed me right off the bat, and that was before I realized the sunscreen smelled like honey granola thanks to the beeswax and pumpkin seed oil. This has a slight white tinge when applying, but that disappears almost instantly when you rub it into your skin. I was left feeling like I had just applied moisturizer rather than sunscreen, and the high percentage of zinc in this still protects me from the sun.
Porter Leather TSA Pat-Down Luggage Tag - Listed Value $4
I found the quote on this luggage tag to be hilarious and I immediately attached it to the tote from this bag as I got ready for my trip to Vegas! Though I didn’t check my bag this go-around, the bright teal color would also help my luggage stand out on the carousel the next time I do. Luggage tags without the quotes retail for $3.50 from Porter Leather, and I can easily see that customization adding $0.50 to the cost.
Zero Chill 10 oz Tumbler - Listed Value $15
I prefer to drink my drinks with straws, and I have about five different tumblers from ban.do and Starbucks that I rotate through on a regular basis. What I don’t have, however, is a wine tumbler with a straw. I am an enjoyer of wine, and I am happy to have a tumbler specifically for my alcoholic beverages (though nothing keeps this from being just a nice cup of ice water with lemon). Unfortunately, Duchess has also decided she likes this tumbler, and she chewed on this straw like it was her newest toy before I caught her in the act. Luckily, I have more straws.
Take Your Top Off Bottle Opener - Listed Value $5
The cheeky sayings in this month’s box are really speaking to my soul this time around. I am always happy to have a sturdy bottle opener, and this is solid and has a nice weight to it. I am totally bringing this the next time I am at the pool with friends so everyone can appreciate the innuendo!
Son of a Beach Ball - Listed Value $3
This beach-themed box wouldn’t be complete without a beach ball, and this is the perfect size for water volleyball or playing keep-away. This took some extra puffs to blow up, but overall I am happy with it and the workout it gave my lungs!
The Verdict: I think this beach-themed box is my favorite box from Smartass & Sass so far! All of the sayings felt very me, and I thought the items were a good mix of functional and funny. Going off the listed values, this box has a value of $61, which isn’t crazy high compared to the cost of the box but I am still okay with it.
