FYI - California Found box is ending subscriptions. Thanks, Katherine for the heads up.
First in this crazy, uncertain time I’m thinking of you and hoping you and your family are safe and healthy. I hope that you are showing your people and yourself some patience and love during this time of profound togetherness. And please tell me you’re having a laugh at least once every day as we all get through this madness together!
Evolution is part of owning a small business and we are evolving. After considering all of the ways that California Found can introduce you to our beautiful artisan community, I’ve decided that the subscription box will not be part of our long-term plan. I will still be sharing new finds on our social pages, blogging about my favorite artisan products and introducing you to new artisan products via fantastic offers that are reserved exclusively for our California Found family, the first of which I’m about to share with you!
I’ve been searching for the perfect box to ease the transition and I’ve found it. I’m thrilled to announce that we’re supporting the most amazing eco-friendly box I’ve come across: Earthlove box.
The curation of this collection is very similar to my curation. Simply chic jewelry pieces, clean beauty, lovely home goods and artisan specialty food are all regular features of this beautiful discovery collection. The owner of Earthlove box, Serina, is a warm, smart, hard-working lady-boss, not unlike yours truly. Her commitment to helping the Earthlove community find ways in which to lighten their footprint on the planet resonates with me in a powerful way and I know it will resonate with you.
For a limited time, the California Found community can subscribe to Earthlove box's seasonal offering and receive a set of three bonus items that Serina and I have selected together, with you in mind. Make sure to click one of the links in this email and use code: CAFOUNDLOVE at checkout.
Please give Earthlove box a try. It’s a beautiful way to treat yourself or someone you love a few times a year, and your support will help keep a multitude of small businesses open with every season.
I have loved every second of our journey together and am so grateful to have ‘met’ you along the way. Please reach out to me with any questions or just to let me know how you and your family are holding up. Stay well and keep shopping small.
California Found is a monthly collection of expertly curated, beautifully crafted small batch and handmade goods from California's most talented artisans.
Once a month, our subscribers experience the California lifestyle through a box filled to the brim with natural spa & beauty products, lo... read more.

I loved California Found and recommended it often – until a box came with natural deodorant. I actually unsubscribed. I found the inclusion of deodorant to be a very utilitarian and unwelcome addition to a box that was my “treat” to myself. Also, I was embarrassed that I had suggested friends spend their hard earned money… to receive deodorant. I was excited to follow this link to Earthlove, only to find… natural deodorant. Hahaha. That’s the pits ;). Does anyone know of any similar boxes (handmade jewelry, unique items, a slight foodie touch, et cetera) that are less “crunchy granola” and more “cool girl from the coast”? I live in LA, and I am hoping for something with a natural bent but more refined than deodorant (think: Jenni Kayne). I would love any ideas!

Funny, the deodorant was my favorite item in the Earthlove box. 😉

Was anyone able to use the CAFOUNDLOVE discount at EarthLove checkout? I was unable to try until today. How much is the discount? Maybe it’s good for annual and I was trying to apply it to a quarterly subscription.

Hey Nicole! The code gives you three bonus items in your first box and is good on a seasonal or annual subscription. Hope that helps!

I was thinking of subscribing to this box when my FFF subscription ended (this summer). I love California and my daughter and I go there as many times throughout the year as we can. We live in Arizona so getting away to California is such a treat! I’d love to live there but I am a single mom so it would be very hard financially. I still dream of a day I might hopefully live there!
I’ll follow your social media so I can hear about Cali artisans and products.
Thanks so much =)

Thanks KIm! Yes, the cost of living here is legendary! I hope you’ll check out the Earthlove box. The California Found family will receive 3 bonus products in addition to their overflowing Spring collection. IDK how Serina will fit everything in the box! lol! Use code: CAFOUNDLOVE
Stay safe and well.

If we subscribe today is it the Spring box or Summer box? Any spoilers for the Spring box?

If you subscribe to Earthlove box today, you’ll receive their Spring collection plus 3 bonus items with code CAFOUNDLOVE at check out. You can see the entire spring collection plus two of the three bonus items here: https://earthlove.co/pages/cafoundlove

There is no longer going to be a quarterly box, CF is closing down.
Reply
beth
Hey Kelly!
To clarify, not closing down per se, just retooling. You’re correct that we’re not offering a subscription box as part of our go-forward plan, but watch our social and join our email list to see and shop our local artisan picks! Be well!

Hands down CF had the best jewelry!

Oh how I hate to hear this! I was (impatiently) waiting for the quarterly sub announcement but never expected this!

Beth, I’m so sorry to see this end. I’m sure it has to be really tough trying to continue at this time with all that’s going on with this virus. You did a wonderful job with your curation of this box. @cafound was my favorite. 🙂 I will definitely check out the Earthlove box and continue to support my favorite artists from @cafound. Looking forward to your new finds on Instagram. 🙂
