| The Box-$3.25 |
The box ships in a USPS Priority Mail padded envelope. All the items were packaged in a reusable box. I really like that the box is reusable. This can be used for so many things.
 |
| Box Idea Card |
There was a card that included ideas for using the box. It can be used for hair accessories, first aid kit, toiletries, make-up box and so much more. What would you use your box for? The back had links to Box of Happies social networks and a retail price list for the items.

Looking at all the items in the box really made me happy.

| Peterson Designs Recipe Cards ($2.00 for 4 cards) |
These are nice sturdy cards to right your favorite recipes on. I am going to use these, to write down my favorite recipes from my mom. I would love to be a great cook like she is.

| Leas Letters: Post-It Holders-Pen & Post It's ($4.00 plus shipping) |
This is a cute hand made post it holder. It came with a full thing of post its and a gel pen. This would be perfect on a desk or in your purse. The company also included a code to save 10% on your order “BOX13”.
 |
| All Glass Art-Glass Ring ($3.00-$5.00) |
This is a beautiful, fun ring. This would be fun to wear on a night out. I love that it is big and sparkles!
 |
| Mint Marbles Handmade Necklace ($10.00 plus shipping) |
This is a nautical themed necklace with a little blue marble. The necklace is nice for everyday and something I will wear.
 |
| These are an “Original Happy” made just for you ($8.00 plus shipping) |
I love these earrings. I wear mostly silver and these are just my style. They are a nice quality and not too heavy.

I love the detail on the earrings

| The Complete Box |
Final Thought: This box made me happy! The total value for this box was at minimum $30.35, if you take the low estimate on the ring. I like that everything was packaged so nicely. The earrings and necklace were both in little drawstring bags. I received a bigger value than the purchase price, and that doesn't take into account shipping. I have personally bought several things from Etsy, and I know shipping adds up. I like getting a little present for me every month. This would also make a great gift for a dear friend. Since you buy only the month's you want, you can buy 1 boxes or 5! I love that aspect of this company.
