This is not one of those regular sleep masks that smash your eyes, I hate those. This has cups over your eyes, so you can close your eyes comfortably. This is also great when you are in REM sleep. This mask also came with a pair of ear plus in a black satin pouch. This is great for plan rides when you need some please.

This is a great little book. Going to Paris is on my bucket list, in fact, a 2015 trip is in the planning stages. This book tells you how to walk to different areas, shops etc. This particularly useful because I am not good with directions. I could and have gotten lost with my GPS. This tells you exactly where to turn and walk.
This has so many uses, I am excited to use it. This can be used as a tripod, or to hold your phone anywhere you go. I will use it as a stand for my camera and to hold my phone while I am cooking. I am always afraid I will spill water on it. I may also use it to hold my phone at night when it is charging. I might actually need two of these.
Some of the Uses
This is from the back of the box. This shows some of the many uses of the spider podium
This was created by the Royal Soapmakers to the Royal Swedish Family. This uses a traditional recipe of eggwhites, rose water, and lanolin to create beautiful glowing skin. This soap smells fantastic. I am not a big bar soap user, but I will have to try this.
Final Thought: The total value of this box was $45.98. The regular cost of this subscription is $33.00 plus $5.95 shipping. I am always glad to received a box with a higher value than cost. My favorite item in the box is the Breffo Spider Podium. The soap smells wonderful and I will save the chocolate for my next trip with C. I like the sleep mask and how unique it is. I can't wait for my tip to Paris so I can use my new guide. If you want to sign up for Travelbox, use the code EARLYINVITE to save $10.00 on your first box.

This is a great brush. Oliver has short hair and won't let me brush him. I have a friend with a long haired cat that will love this brush. This is a really nice quality brush and will get all the excess hair.
This is a nice scratching pad for all sizes of spaces. It is small enough to put in a corner and it has catnip included too. No more clawing the couch!
Oliver's Take
Oliver went crazy the second I brought in the box. He really wanted to know what was in the box. He tried to get a couple of the toys too! Oliver loved the treats and toys. He is an older cat but he acted much younger playing with these toys.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: This box had a total value of $58.10. Oliver really enjoyed this box. Anything with catnip is a great toys in his book. I love that this company focuses on cats.

The Fetch Box kindly sent me the December box. I loved the first box, and you can read that review here. The Fetch Box was started by a teen because the other “time of the month” boxes were too old for her. She wanted to create something that would perfect for young girls. There is a first time variety pack, where a girl is sent a welcome letter, a monthly calender, 20 pads/tampons, 5 liners and additional beauty, snack or health related stuff. The Fetch Box is $13.00 a month plus $5.00 shipping. When you sign up for your first box, you pay half off! Just use the code First Box and get 50% off your first box, including shipping and put “Erin Hamm” in the comment box.
When you pick your box, you have several options
Tampon variety pack (they pick)
Pad variety pack (they pick)
Assorted variety pack (they pick)
FIRST TIME Pack (first period or newly started)
Choose my own
If you choose your own, there is a list of all the brands below. You can check the brand name and the specific type you want. There are many different choices, so I think everyone will find the type they want.
I received the variety pack for review.
The Box
The Fetch Box is shipped in a plain white box. This way, family or the post man won't know what's in the box.
First Look
Packages
Everything was packaged in individual packages.
Information Card
There was a list of all the products in the box. A complete list of the “personal” products was listed on another sheet.
December 2013 Variety Pack
The Fetch Box included information about all the tampons, pads and panty liners.
I love the Summer's Eve cleansing cloths. They are a nice bonus item. The Organyc was new to me. I found out that many brands of tampons are bleached with chlorine. Yikes!
Cute nail tool and nail polish
This wet and wild nail polish is a rose/mauve color with a bit of sparkle. The nail scissors are super cute as well.
Treats
Included in the box were several treats:
Russell Stover Marshmallow Santa
Pringles Stix Pizza flavor
Starbucks Hot Cocoa Marshmallow
These are my kind of treats. I already sampled the marshmallow Santa and the Pringles stix. The hot cocoa sounds really tasty too.
Pads
1 purple with blue U Kotex tween
1 purple with pink U Kotex long pad
1 yellow Always ultra thin thin regular pad
1 purple with yellow and pink flowers Always Radiant Infinity regular
1 blue Stayfree maxi regular pad

I have got my eye on an Erin Condren Life Planner, but this is a really nice planner. There is space to write notes and dates every day. I might keep this one for work use and get my Erin Condren Life Planner for personal use.
This came in different scents. It actually took my awhile to figure out that the top screws off. I received number 21 and I love it. The fragrance notes are Asuka Rose, Linden, Ginger Root, Aged Wood. This is a wonderful floral scent that I love.
I didn't own a cheese platter until now. This can be used for cheese, fruit or appetizers.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: This box had a total value of $350.95. I really loved this box. The scarf, lotion, and cheese platter were my favorite items in the box. Those items alone were well worth this box. The only item I won't use is the false eye lashes. With a value of $350.95, I am okay with that! If you are interested in signing up for a Popsugar subscription, click HERE and use the code REFER5.
