Mummy Treats and Treasures

As I ordered last months Glossybox so late it feels like this months has come super early! I actually uhmed and ahhed about opening it today when it arrived thinking that I should probably save it for later in the month, but I am weak willed and in need of a treat so that resolution lasted no longer than a few minutes! Being my second month into the subscription, money was automatically taken for this box on the 1st of the month with no intervention from myself (remember, if you order Glossybox make sure you do so before the 15th of the month and cancel by this date if you don't want to have to pay for next months as well).  Dispatch was reasonably quick, a week into the month, and delivery painless from Royal Mail - complete with tracking details which is always a nice touch. The box was well packaged with a strong cardboard outer postage box (it has glossybox written all over it so you can't really conceal what it is!) and a sturdy inner box.  This month is...

I can hardly believe it's July already, well 7th July as I write this! The months are really flying by this year and as they do my monthly treats are stacking up.  It was with great anticipation that my Spoilabox arrived again this week, particularly as it arrived amid a truly challenging day! This is the second month of my subscription to Spoilabox and also only their second month so I'm still very much surprised by what they contain.  It's lovely having absolutely no idea what's coming (bar the odd spoiler of course!) and, yet again, I'm thoroughly pleased with both the contents and the service.  The box was dispatched on almost the first day of the month and arrived without hassle via My Hermes who this time left it in my meter cupboard (a whole day earlier than they had estimated, bonus!).  Again the contents was well packaged with a sturdy cardboard outer shell and a pretty tissue paper wrap inside.  All the products arrived intact with no damage which...

Through a series of events I won't go into I got a chance to give Glossybox a try in June.  I've been eyeing this box up for a while.  On paper it looks similar, if not identical, to Birchbox, which you'll remember I wasn't too bothered about (but feel free to use my sign-up url if you want to give it a go!) and I'd pretty much decided I wouldn't bother with it.  Then June's box came up and I became a little more interested due to them featuring some products I fancied giving a try. Ordering was easy and the 50% off offer they're running in June an absolute bonus, especially as they've also bunged in a couple of other products for new sign ups!  Delivery too was fast and thankfully the Royal Mail delivery guy had no problem with leaving it in a safe place (unlike a recent DHL delivery which saw me trekking across the village to pick up from a random depot!) First impressions were also heightened by the considerably bigger box than Birchbox and a...
