Birchbox Limited Edition Box | Home Sweet Homespun

The holidays are approaching! I have decided to start Christmas shopping early this year, as we have quite a lot planned in the next few weeks, and I don't want to feel even more rushed than I already do! Birchbox has several options for limited edition boxes which are perfect gifts for the holidays. Last  year, I bought the Snow Day box which is one of my favourite BB purchases. The Home Sweet Homespun box is a very similar concept-lifestyle items with a touch of beauty included.

Birchbox is one of my favourite subscription sites. They just do such a good job at curating their boxes, whether it be monthly or these larger limited edition options. The box is gorgeous and would be the fastest, yet prettiest, present.

I am excited to slip on these cute mint socks and get to DIYing and baking. Hand creme & lip balm are always needed beauty bits during the fall and winter. I have actually had the Milk Bar Cornflake cookie before. It was delicious, so I think it will be fun to make them. And maybe give some as friends wrapped using the cute treat tags.

The Snow Day box also included a packet of Askinosie chocolate powder, so I am happy to try this variety. Illume candles are another brand I have used before. I love their Balsam Fir scent, so this Noble Currant candle will be used quickly. It's a lovely winter scent.

I love DIY projects and am glad this was included in the box. The only negative I have is the suggested retail price. There is no way its actually "worth" that high as it's only the fewest of materials. I really liked the idea, suggested in a Birchbox video, to hang up holiday cards that you receive. I think I am going to spray paint the mini clothespins gold for a more holiday look. Mmm...can't wait to make these cookies.

As always I used a 20% off code, BB points, and picked up a sample pack, so I managed to get this  for free. But even at $40, I think it's a great value for a lovely gift. I can see many of my friends and family enjoying it. Plus, it's nice to be able to give someone a variety of things. If you want to join Birchbox, you can follow my link here.
