Artistry Gifts La Mer Special Edition Box: My little guy unpacked the box for me. I was amazed by all the items. I was not expecting that many items based on the size of the box.

Two’s Company Life is Better at the Beach 4″ x 4″ Frame:  This box would have made a great unboxing video for those that like children. My little guy couldn’t believe that it came with not one, but two anchors.

The frame has a place of honor next to the sea-shell toothpicks from the Artistry Gift July 2015 themed box “Seashells by the Seashore”.

The perfect frame to keep at your work desk for when you have those difficult days or difficult co-workers or both.

Kay Dee Designs Blue Shells Oven Mitt:  I am happy to see more Kay Dee Designs! I love the beach theme which will brighten up the kitchen. We can never have enough oven mitts.

Kay Dee Designs Blue Shells Pot Holder: My younger son declared this to be a wall hanger. My kitchen decor has no known theme. The wall hanger formerly known as a pot holder goes with the seastar formerly known as a starfish that my older son brought back from Myrtle Beach.

I’m old enough to remember when a seastar was called a starfish and when Prince was called The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.

I love the continuation of the July Beach box theme. Click here to read the July review.

Now I don’t have to worry about my hand towel leaving to find a well-dressed kitchen.

 

Two's Company Hand Soap

Two’s Company Coral Reef Hand Soap: The soap has a wonderful scent. I was unable to find information about where the soap is made or the ingredients. I will take it up to the farm where people have no qualms on what they use.

It took me time to photograph the soap without showing myself in the reflection.

Inis Moonlight Bath & Shower Gel 7.0 oz

INIS Moonlight Bath & Shower Gel: The Made in Ireland shower gel has an intoxicating scent. The scent is “ top notes of mandarin and water gently blend with a heart of peach and jasmine, resting on warm woody notes of orris and musk.” INIS also does work in protecting the dolphins and whales.

Dolphins and whales are amazing sea creatures!

INIS Body Lotion with seaweed extract and shea butter 7.0 OZ: The INIS body lotion has an amazing scent that makes me smile. It’s a mixture of lemon, marine, Lilly of the Valley, sandalwood, and clove.

I wonder if I will sea a change in my body moisture levels?

Two’s Company Double Flip Flop Wall Hook: The flip flop wall hook is the spoiler for this box. It’s a great way to make a room more summery. It’s also not black and white! My little guy has claimed it for his room.

Every time I write Two’s Company, I start thinking about Three’s Company. Here’s a youtube clip for your enjoyment.

Salt Wattr Taffy
Sweet’s Salt Water Taffy

Sweet’s Saltwater Taffy:  Sweet’s saltwater taffies are different than east coast taffy.  It is whipped, not pulled, which allows for a softer, less sticky and more flavorful taffy. I did notice that it is not like the taffy that I am familiar with from the Jersey Shore. This world famous, gourmet taffy is available in 50 different flavors.

 

 

Cabot - The World's Best Cheddar
Cabot – The World’s Best Cheddar

I took a few cheese classes and courses back when our country property was run as a dairy. Did you know the further west you go, the less sharp the cheddar? Try Cabot Cheddar and Wisconsin cheddar. There’s a difference in taste even when you compare mild against mild.

All subscription boxes should be required to provide snacks that are color coordinated with the items in the box.

 

Verdict: My family enjoyed this box. The box provided a wonderful variety while staying true to its theme. I love the items that were selected. They are useful and will be enjoyed.

    Great box! It is weird that I am from NJ and never liked taffy? Though by your description of Sweet’s Taffy I would actually try it! I also call seastars starfish which I have throughout my home as well! 🙂

      Your house must feel peaceful. I don’t care much for taffy either.
