The Holiday Housewife July 2014

What's in the Box?

The Holiday Housewife is a monthly subscription box with a theme each month.  It is $24.99 for a monthly subscription or $29.99 for a one time box.  Payments are made through Pay Pal.  

This month's theme was Girl's Night In.  It promised pampering items from Etsy makers and another charm for the bracelet that you get in your very first box.  There were two recipes in the box - one for Cookies and Cream Popcorn and one for Cookies and Cream Hot Chocolate. 

Here's the first look:

Bird Guest Soap with Lavendar and Spa Salts by Kathyinozarks Handmade soaps  -  ($3)  This is a very pretty soap with a bird on it that smells very strongly of lavendar.  You can purchase more like this here. 

Lavendar Spa Bars with Pink Himalayan Salt by KathyinOzarks soaps -   ($16)  This is a very cute soap that also smells strongly of lavender.  You can purchase it at the same place as the bird soap.  

Chai Fizzie Powder by Triskele Treasures, LLC -  These are little fizzie packets made with baking soda and citric acid.  To check out their shop, click here.  I do not see these for sale individually.  There are several things in their Etsy store I am interested in - check out the bee soap and the Irish set!  

LA Colors nail polish in and a nail file -   I love this shade of pink and the nail file is really cute!  

PrimeTime Extra Butter Popcorn with popcorn bags - there is usually a snack in the Holiday Housewife box and my family will enjoy this.  We love popcorn for our movies.

Sugar Scrub Cubes in Oatmeal Milk & Honey and Pink Sugar by Symbolic Import -   ($3)  These are really nice little cubes to scrub with - they can be purchased here.  There are also a lot of cute scrubs in this shop - I am thinking about those Gingerbread ones for stocking stuffers.

  

Star's Reach Lip Balms in Chocolate and Cotton Candy -   ($5 a piece)  These are very nice little balms but I am afraid the labels are not going to last very long.  To buy more in other flavors, click here.

Purse Charm for the Charm Bracelet -   In your very first box, you receive a charm bracelet to add the charms in each successive box to - last month I got the bracelet and a feather charm.  This month it was this cute little pink purse charm.

This box had a very good value - just the few items from the Etsy store I could price added up to $26.   I cannot wait to pamper myself with all these goodies with a girl's night in!
