December Stork Stack and Discount

I always look forward to my Stork Stack.  I almost always like my boxes and they are generally filled with unique things.  Stork Stack is $27.99 a month, but if you click HERE and use the code EA4827B9.  This month's theme was “Toy Chest”.  I was really excited to see what would be in the box.  This box was for a 21 month old boy.
The Box
I say this every time, but I really love Stork Stack's boxes.

Melissa and Doug Grasping Giraffe $9.95
From Stork Stack “Everyone will want a turn to swivel, pivot and rotate the nine hardwood segments of this charming giraffe! Put this patient fellow in every possible configuration for fascinating fine motor fun. Held together with durable, elastic bungee, this wooden baby toy is sure to hold the attention of your youngster!”
We actually have this from my older son.  It is a great toy, but T has outgrown it.  This is for a younger child than T.  I would rather have a toy T could grow into, since he is almost 2.
Edushape Ball 4″ $4.12
From Stork Stack “EDUSHAPE® Ltd. is family owned & operated providing product to the global educational, toy and specialty markets. Established in 1983, our main focus is to manufacture quality children’s toy & products. EDUSHAPE® Ltd. is committed to producing soft, safe, quality children’s toys which ultimately promote successful developmental learning through play. Our main focus is for children ages: birth to 5 years old.”
This is a nice ball that T loves, but it is slightly under-filled.  I am not sure if it is supposed to be under-filled, so I have sent Stork Stack an email.
Pretzel Crisps 1oz .44 cents
From Stork Stack “PRETZEL CRISPS® give you that satisfying, hearty crunch in a versatile shape that’s dippable, spreadable, and deliciously snackable. With great gourmet taste from naturally wholesome ingredients, it’s the perfect snack anytime!”
These were so good and I was really impressed with how tasty they were.  I have actually ordered more on Amazon!
Honest Kids Juice .62 cents
From Stork Stack “Honest Tea is excited to introduce Honest Kids in a new “fruit-juice sweetened” formulation. All five varieties have been updated by removing the organic cane sugar and increasing the juice content – now between 30-42% depending on variety.”
T doesn't drink anything but milk, so I am going to let L try it.
Cloud B Lovie Turtle $9.95
From Stork Stack “These velvety-soft lovies make the sweetest, snuggliest security blankets. Founded in 2002, Cloud b is the world’s leading manufacturer of products and accessories that help parents and children sleep. They hold the honor of being internationally recognized as the number one company in the sleep niche category – thanks to high-quality designs, exceptional safety standards and products that are proven to help children sleep safely and soundly through all stages of  development.”
This is super cute, the turtle's head pop's through the hole in the blanket.  I really love how cute it is, but it is again a bit young.  T has a bear he loves, and I don't think he will play with this much.  He hasn't actually played with it at all yet.
Final Thought: The total value of this box was $25.08.  I am very disappointed in this box.  I feel the giraffe and lovie were too young for a 21 month old.  The ball was okay, but under filled.  The drink and chips were only worth $1.00 or so.  I don't like that the box was worth less than the $27.99 regular price.  I am not sure if I will give Stork Stack another month or not.  I have been very impressed with Austin Lloyd, and may switch my subscription.  If you want to try Stork Stack, click HERE and use the code EA4827B9 to save $10.00 on your first box.

New Subscripton Box Pigment and Palette Review

Pigment and Palette is a new subscription box that sends 4-5 premium art products, plus a collectible postcard with artwork for $15.00.  Pigment and Palette send me their first box to review.  In addition to sending supplies, Pigment and Palette features an article on their website for the postcard artist each month.  This month's artist was Jophen Stein.  You can read about Jophen Stein HERE.
The Details:
Cost: $15.00 a month
What's in the box: 4-5 premium art products, plus a collectible postcard with artwork
When does the box ship? The box ships the third week of the month
The Box
Pigment and Palette was shipping by USPS.
Inside Box
Inside the first box was a little black box.  It has a magnetic closure, so it is reusable.
First Look
We Were Promised Flying Cars by Jophen Stein
Acrylic on Board
WWW.JOPHENSTEIN.COM
This is a really unique piece and it looks like 2 super heroes flying through the city.
Canvasland Unprimed Hemp Artist Canvas sample
$54.00-$156.00 Depending on dimensions and canvas
From the card “Canvasland canvases are handmade in Austin, Tx and are ready to prime.  100% hemp canvas and sustainability sources for the environmentally friendly artist who want the best.”
I am going to let L use this small piece of canvas to make a tiny masterpiece.
Montana Colors Micro Paint $4.00

From the card “Halfway between a spray and a souvenir, the MICRO from Montana Colors is the smallest spray can on the market.  Available in black and ready to join you wherever you go.”

This is the cutest little can of spray paint.  I am going to have to find something to paint now.

Gamblin Artists Colors Solvent Free Gel $4.92
$19.95 for 150 ml, sample value
 From the card: “A medium to be mixes with oil pants that is solvent free and gives colors more flow and transparency.  Solvent Free Gel has a moderately fast drying rate and increases gloss.  It can be also be used to clean your brushes during painting sessions.  Use Gamsol or soap and water to clean when finished.”
I am not an artist, but this may help me bring out my inner Bob Ross.
General Pencil Company Primo Elite Grande Pencil $2.00
Koh I Noor Tri Tone Multi Colored Leads $2.00
Primo Elite Grande Pencil: From the card “A hex shaped thick core ultra black pencil.  Handcrafted with rich, organic blacks to achieve intense linear markings and tonal values.
Koh I Norr Tri Tone Pencil: From the card “Tri tone pencil create rich drawings with depth.  Every pencil contains 3 shades and draws a multi colored line.  Sold in sets of 12 or 24
These are nice pencils and L will enjoy drawing with them, or I may give them to my artist friend.
The Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box came to $12.92.  This does not include the artist postcard or the canvas sample.  I think this is a great premier box for Pigment and Palette.  If you love art or know an artist, this would be a great subscription to try.  Click HERE to go to Pigment and Palette's webpage.
