The Box Appleseed Lane has the cutest boxes. They are very kid friendly and L knew it was his box right away.

It is no secret our family loves Kiwi Crate. When I saw the Christmas crates, I had to buy them. There are two Christmas themed Kiwi Crates. The first is Crafty Christmas, which gives you the materials to make “My Swirly Ornaments” and “My Gingerbread House”. The second crate is Little Christmas, which gives you all the materials to make “Little Tree” and “Folding Ornaments”. These are special crates that won’t come in a subscription. They are $19.95 each and you can click HERE and use the code JOY5 to get $5.00 off your holiday crate. Crafty Christmas The Box All the Holiday crates come in the same green boxes. Information Card There is an information card on top, that lets you know what crafts your child will make. Characters The back of the information card has characters to color. You can cut them out and play with them in the box. There is also a sticker to add to your child’s poster. If you fill up the poster, you can email Kiwi Crate for a new poster (FREE). My Swirly Ornaments Kiwi Crate always included EVERYTHING you need for the projects (minus paper to protect your work surface. The ornaments are made of plastic, so no worries about breakage. My Gingerbread House Scrooge alert: I hate real gingerbread houses. They are impossible to put together. Kiwi Crate included everything for you child to make their own cardboard gingerbread house. There were many embellishments and decorations included. The great thing: less messy, no fatty calories, and no frustration compared to the real thing. The Whole Box This box was packed with stuff! Swirly Ornaments The ornaments were very easy to make. Your child poured paint in each one, swirled it around and drained out the excess into cups when finished.Continue Reading

MunchPak is a new snack subscription box. MunchPak sent me this box for review. Munchpak is not a healthy snack box. It is just an assortment of some of the best snacks. I do not eat super , it was healthy and when I want a snack, I grab chips or something sweet. Munchpak says ” Let’s face it; even those who claim to be on strict diets are guilty of sneaking in their favorite brand of potato chips or candy bar from time to time. Our goal is to provide you with new things to munch on every month. We send it you all packed up and ready to eat. Call it a MunchPak, if you will.” Seriously, this is my new favorite snack box.
