fun grab bags

Well, I should say fun grab boxes. This past month I bought a few from a couple of companies. The first one, Little Black Box is one that I had wanted for awhile but just was always to late to order one before they are sold out. They usually go on sale about the 25th of the month and see out the same day. They cost about 25 dollars but I got a deal that if I paid for 2 months in advance I got 2 months for 43 dollars and that included shipping. I was so pleased with all the goodies I got so figured I would share pics of my stuff. Oh, well I should actually describe what the boxes are. They are boxes of samples from all different etailers. They send in samples to the company and the company makes them into boxes and then ships them out. Not only did I get the samples and some full size items but I got coupon codes for discounts on my first purchase from the companies. This is such a neat idea because otherwise I would not have heard of most of these companies.
here is my box from little black box. I should have taken the picture much closer up so you could actually see what I got. Next time I will make sure to get better pictures. I expect my next box to mail out about the 25th of this month...check back and I will post pics of that.

I also ordered a box from Lemming Central. It is the same idea, box of samples. I was so excited with all the goodies I totally forgot to take pictures. I wish I had because out of the 3 companies I got boxes from this past month the one from Lemming Central was my favorite. They do not have one every month like the other 2 companies. I think Lemming central has a box every other month. I know they did not have one in May but they will have one in June..and I will be ordering one lol

The 3rd place I ordered from was snowberry creek candles. I had not heard much about them before but figured it was worth a shot. The box cost about 23 dollars and that included priority mail shipping. I loved everything in it. The other cool thing is....when you order a box you get entered into a drawing for either a full size product or a free box the following month. I did not think about it because I never win any of those types of things. Imagine my surprise when I got an email saying that I would be getting a free box in May because I won the drawing. YEEEEHAWWWW lol. The purple cellophane bag has teas and coffees from sbs teas. The coffee was delicious. The teas look yummy but I am not a huge fan of loose teas. I am going to pass them on to a friend. I also got teas from sbs teas in my box from lemming central and I got tea from blue raven tea in my box from little black box.
