Beachly has a new style of info booklet this month that goes into more detail about the seven items included in the box. There's an introduction and each item has a description, why they chose it, and a tip or fact about it along with the retail price. At the end of the booklet, you'll learn that they partner with Heal the Bay and fund beach cleanups in the Los Angeles area. The last page of the booklet has loads of discount codes as well for some of the featured brands plus others.

Lira Baja Pina Hooded Poncho, size medium - Listed Value $60.00
Whoa- I haven't seen a hoodie like this in quite some time although I must admit I'm not the target audience for this garment. Back in middle school, we called a similar yet heavier version of this a "jerga" but they have several names based on where you hail from. This one is much more breathable and soft than the ones I knew of back then. This hoodie is incredibly comfy and I like the cream, navy, and grey colorway it comes in. The left side of the chest features a small embroidered pineapple and there's a big front pocket to keep your hands warm in the front. The hem at the bottom dips lower in the front and back and the hood is quite roomy. I can see myself throwing this on in the house when I get a little chilly since it's really easy to wear and super comfy.

Fresh Produce Shell Necklace - Listed Value $25.00
Beachly almost always includes a piece of jewelry that harkens the beach vibes. This season, they've included this long necklace from Fresh Produce that has a gold-colored chain with turquoise beads incorporated near the bottom with some charms dangling off. The charms hang from a small gold-colored hoop and are comprised of a puka shell, red tassel, and gold star. Since it has a healthy length of up to 15 inches, I won't have to mess with the clasp and can just throw it over my head which I appreciate.

Cleobella Mexican Zip Wallet - Listed Value $68.00
This is actually my favorite shape of wallet- the zip-around square. Cleobella has made a Mexican-style cut-out design for the front of this aqua/turquoise colored faux-leather wallet and added a tassel on the zipper pull. The back has their name in gold cursive, and inside you'll find a palm print that ties the box theme to this item as well. There's space for dollar bills and two slots for ID or credit cards that make this a pretty simple functioning wallet that you can't overload with miscellaneous items. The gold zipper matches the palm and branded name as well. I'm not sure I'd spend $68 on this item, but it's a nice item for a box that we haven't seen very much of in the past at all.

Surf's Up Candle Coconut Lime Vintage Jar Candle, 8 oz. - Retail Value $16.00
While I am a pine-scented candle kinda gal year-round, this coconut lime one delivers a really nice scent. The mason jar vessel it's in with the twine bow really gives it a warm rustic vibe that speaks to the fact that it's handmade. If you'll soon get cabin fever from being indoors this winter, just light this candle and let the coconut lime fragrance fill your home and conjure up warmer memories. Once your candle is used up, this will make a cute container to hold bobby pins, cotton balls, or other small items you need to keep organized.

Noho Home Loulu Throw - Retail Value $49.95
It's nice to have throws on hand when it starts to get chilly. While this one isn't very thick, it would certainly be nice to throw over your shoulders at the beach this time of year in a climate warmer than Pittsburgh. The throw is 100% cotton with the blue, green, and rust palm pattern printed on it. Straight out of the box, I think the printed pattern is the culprit of it not being incredibly soft, but I have a feeling that once it's washed, it'll soften right up. As you can tell by the fourth photo above, it's quite large at 52 x 60 inches and it has fringe on both ends. This would also make a nice decorative piece to toss over a bed or chair to bring a little summer into your home or beach house.

Northern Sole Winter Palm Socks - Retail Value $14.43 USD ($18.96 CAN)
These socks are made from 75% cotton, 23% nylon, and 2% spandex for stretch. The bright teal green and fuchsia palm pattern together with teal toes, cuffs, and heels bring some colorful flair to the dreary winter. The socks are quite soft and have a little bit of a comforting cushion feel to them when they're on to make them super cozy and warm.

Vagabond Goods Palm Utensil Set - Listed Value $20.00
This might be my favorite item of the box. I'm trying to be more conscious of how much waste I'm creating - especially single-use plastics like eating utensils. This utensil set has some of the basics you may need like a knife, spork, and chopsticks - all made of bamboo in Bali. They come in a cute drawstring pouch that has soft blue and burnt orange palms on it, made of natural cotton. I'll have to keep this in my car for the next time I'm on the road and need to eat so I don't put more trash into the world.
Verdict: The winter box from Beachly included seven items that are 100% beach-inspired and would make anyone who loves sun and sand happy. I appreciate them for including warmer clothing this time of year for those of us that aren't in a sunshine state at the moment and I find everything to be super useable (or even giftable). I think the utensil set and hoody are my faves this time, but they've pulled together a nice selection overall. The total retail for this box is $253.38 which is more than double the $103.95 cost.
