First Look
The box arrived by USPS and was fairly heavy. My box was shipped on the 19th by Priority Mail and I received it on the 21st! I love it when my boxes come quickly.
A peek inside
The box was very heavy, so I was excited to see what was inside.
The information card
Escape Monthly does their information cards a bit differently. They have a custom travel brochure as their information card. The brochure is just like one you would pick up at a travel center.
A look inside the brochure
Each of the products in the box is listed in the brochure as part of the itinerary. I found this very unique and cleaver. There is also some facts about Napa listed on the back
Napa Valley Wine Soap $8.95
This soap is 100% natural and is made with grapeseed oil, herbs and beeswax. All of the items in the soap were gathered locally. The soap smells nice. It doesn't have a strong perfume smell, just nice smelling soap.
Mixture Lucious Lip Balm $4.99
I love lip balm and always tend to loose it. I will throw this in my purse. This is produced by hand in small batches. It is never tested on animals.
Deluxe Floating Bath Candles $5.95 for 2
These are beautiful and I have never tried floating candles in my bath tub.
L'Ecuyer's Gourmet 3 Butter Chocolate Mint Soap Sample Size .25 oz
This is one of the surprise mystery items in the the box. The product retails for $4.00 a bar.
Suki body Butter Cream Salve Sample
This is made with organic lavender extract and organic cocoa butter. This is a multi functional, non greasy therapeutic organic balm.
Cookie Zen: Cookie and Cork Pairing Essentials $7.95
There are 5 lemon cookies in the box. These sound delicious.
Clearly Natural Essentials Unscented Glycerine Soap 2oz Sample The 4oz bar sells for $1.99
This was another bonus item. I am not a bar soap person, so I will probably gift this to a friend
Mineral Essence Dead Sea Bath Salt $4.44
These are in the scent lavender/vanilla and are designed to bring deep relaxation. I have 2 kids under 5, so I could use some deep relaxation once in awhile.
Tiesta Loose Leaf Tea in Sparkling White Grape $7.99
I don't drink tea but my husband does. I will let him take this to work.
All Natural Loofa Bath Sponge $2.50
I have been wanting to buy one of these, so I am really excited to get one in this box.
Moon Handbook: Napa and Sonoma $16.96
This is a very informative book about the area. I have AAA,so I get free travel books. I will probably give to the next friend that goes to Napa.
100% Pure Juicy Sugar Bath Candles $15.00
This is made with natural ingredients and energize your skin and leave it feeling smooth.
7th Heaven Natural Face Mask $2.99
I have received these in another box, and I haven't' used them yet. I am going to try to use one soon.
$50.00 Naked Wines Gift Card
This isn't an actual gift card. You have to purchase a case of wine to use this and Naked Wines doesn't ship to my state.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for my box was $77.72. I paid $49.95 (minus 20% off), so I feel like I got my money's worth. I like most of the the items in my box (minus the tea and wine gift card that I can't use). I am not going to continue my subscription though. I get many many boxes, and I can't afford to keep them all. This would be a great gift subscription for someone. Next month's location is “Oregon, The Lush Pacific Northwest”.
