Dottiebox – Mega Box Review – Part 2

Disclosure: There are no affiliate links. This box is paid for by me.

Earlier this month Dottiebox offered a flash sale on the July + August full-size Dottiebox.  The full-size boxes are different than the Dottibox mini, one of which I reviewed in August. I purchased the boxes thinking it was the June + July boxes. I was a little surprised when I realized it was the July & August boxes. I want a cupcake bath bomb!!! I’m splitting this into two posts because I am frustrated that I had to rewrite Part One when I left to go to Verizon to replace my phone.

Subscription: Dottiebox Mega-Box

Price: $42.00  – a $10.00 savings.

What to Expect: The July & August full-size Dottieboxes

I remember J taking the items out for me. I couldn’t see inside the box and was waiting impatiently for my Cupcake Bomb. I then realized that I received the July and August box.  I checked my email, and it was for July and August! I need to read my emails more closely!!! The August Dottiebox is available as a one-time purchase for $20.00 plus $6.00 shipping totally $26.00.

Lovely Fleur Earrings: Lovely Fleur is an Esty shop that specializes in vintage designs. The link takes you to the shop. I wasn’t able to find the exact earrings online. I did see earring designs with butterflies, squirrels, the Eiffel Tower, and much more. There’s even an owl bracelet.  I like the earring design although I don’t wear earrings.

I want a bracelet with koala bears on it!

Handcrafted Brunette Wooden Sign: There are variations to the signs. I’ve also seen “Choose Happy”.

I will hang this in our farmhouse. it will look  perfect.

Who says blonds have more fun? Brunettes can handcraft!

Quince and Apple Preserve Pear with Honey and Ginger: The preserve is made with local honey, apples, and pears. It is handcrafted in small batches. My husband loves subscription boxes for this very reason. Food! He has claimed this and will be trying it out within the next few weeks.

Every post is required to have one item with cat hair on it.

Modern Typography Chalkboard Tags: The chalkboard tags are created from heavy-duty chalkboard paper. I love that they are reusable. I received a chalk marker in a subscription box today and am now prepared to use them. I may use a couple of tags to write notes to my children. They have Batman Chalkboard Labels! I can see my teenager using them.

I don’t get the chalkboard craze; Batman chalkboard labels makes it seem more fun.

Naturally Kamdyn Hair Bands: I don’t know why the Esty link is not working. I linked to her Facebook page. I received hairbands from this company in my August 2014 Dottiebox Mini.

Dottibox sends out emails about each artisan featured in the box. Sometimes the stories stay with you like this one did with me. The owner is a young single mom working hard to provide a good life for herself and her young daughter struggling with various illnesses. Through it all, the owner has finished college and got a good job to support them.  It touched my heart. I hope all is well with them.

Arrows are popular this year.

Verdict: I need to read my emails better! Once I recovered from my disappointment of not receiving a cupcake bath bomb, I found things that I liked in the August Dottiebox. I also liked my July Dottiebox. They are always fun boxes.

    It looks like there are a lot of people on etsy selling cupcake bath bombs – they look amazing but I’m not a bath person. I bought myself shower bombs the other week though!
    Or you could order some regular, Lavendar bath bombs with your next Sudsy order.

      Thanks, Heat7918! Shana encouraged me to take baths to help relieve my stress. I haven’t taken them much lately because my husband has been traveling for work. He unexpectedly had to travel this week. That’s why I am so far behind in blogging! Back to school and a husband traveling. I may add them to my next Sudsy order. The whole family was happy to see Sudsy soaps again.

      Shana – I’ve been thinking about you. I hope you are enjoying the kitty pictures.

    Haha, if you look at my Vegan Cuts beauty box review on MSA, you’ll see a black cat hair in one of the photos (the one with the lipgloss and perfume)!
