In the Box: Dottiebox

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I've become addicted to subscription boxes. One of my favorites is Dottiebox. It is a monthly box of handcrafted items from small business and indie brands. It's a fun surprise every month.

Here's what was in the January box. Dottiebox comes neatly wrapped up like a special gift!

My January box featured four items. The first, and my favorite, were these cute earrings from NaZari Jewelry ($14) I got the Raw Chrysocolla Studs. According to NaZari, the chrysocolla is soothing and calming in times of stress, and brings about gentle release. Check out NaZari's shop at nazarijewelry.com. I'm happy to be introduced to this fun brand.

Next up was the Reveille Reveille Lotion Bar ($9.89). Not sure I'd pay almost $10 for a bar of anything, but I haven't tried this yet, so who knows. It's unscented and made of natural cocoa butter, coconut oil, and beeswax. It's supposed to be really good for cracked, dry hands and heels. I'll review the product when I've had a chance to try it. Check out Reveille Reveille's products at etsy.com/shop/reveillereveille.

This "nail caviar" ($3.50) from Berry's Creations are supposed to be for nail art. Sephora sells something similar for A LOT more money, so you might check these out first if you want to give nail caviar a try. My box also included a 15 percent discount code for Berry's Creations nail art beads and glitter (etsy.com/shop/berryscreations)

My last item was a hand-stamped tea ball from Purely Paige. ($15) It's neat as far as tea balls go, but I don't drink loose leaf tea. I'm thinking it will make a nice gift.

 Dottiebox is a great value subscription box. I paid $20 plus $6 shipping and got $42.39 worth of products. Dottiebox also offers a minibox with 2 to 3 items for $10 plus $3 shipping. The boxes often sell out and a waiting list of subscriptions frequently happens. If you are interested in Dottiebox, visit dottiebox.com. :)
