We Craft Box:  The Kids Crafting Experience

Each month, for less than $30, parents can open up a colorful, turn-key, fun, creative and educational craft experience for their children ages 3-9.  The beautifully-packaged craft kits arrive with everything you need – just open and enjoy.  A story and easy to follow video is also included.  It’s the perfect gift for siblings to enjoy with each other, an amazing gift from the grandparents, and of course for parents and family friends to share and enjoy.

We Craft Box is has earned a slew of prestigious consumer awards for its thoughtfully designed, affordably priced, high quality and completely fun craft box kits. 

Founded by mompreneur Betsy Wild after the arrival of her newest baby (a son!) she realized there was a real need for creative, easily accessible craft experiences which would encourage self expression and a chance to bond with a loved family member or friend.  Her training as a fine artist and illustrator and prior experience as a creative director means that each box is extraordinarily well produced, highest quality and educational as well as fun!

My Thoughts 

Amazing... I mean, just, amazing. These boxes are so adorable. My son and I had so much fun. I love that there are supplies to make two of everything. I do not know if that is a standard thing with every box, but it seems to be a pattern. These items are made with high quality materials, and make some beautiful keepsakes. We made pinecone turkeys, bead corn cobs, turkey crowns, glitter water photo frames and a family tree. The decorations were detailed, with bright large pictures for the different steps. All of the supplies you need are in the box. I believe the only thing I had to get up and get was scissors. It also came with the most beautiful set of crayons. 

We even had extra supplies in most cases so we could make another or repair them if need be. My son loved the magic puffs that we made the turkeys with. These boxes have so much thought and creativity put into them. You can do the month to month plan or prepay for 3, 6, or 12 months to save money. Each box is themed as well. If you do not want to sign up for the monthly option they have some single boxes you can buy as well. They have a Hippo Party Kit, and face painting sets as well. This is definitely every mom should check out.

My Thoughts:

I'm not only a huge candy and snack lover, but I adore Japanese culture. It's always been a dream of mine to visit Japan. Getting the opportunity to savor their treats makes me feel as if I'm fulfilling a long time goal! With Japan Candy Box, you can enjoy a monthly delivery of goodies for you and your loved ones to enjoy. This month, Japan Candy Box took a fun Halloween twist and I can't wait to share the fun with you.

Lotte Toppo Halloween Cookie Sticks-
These were one of my favorite goodies in the box. The cookie sticks are filled with yummy milk chocolate all the way through. The cookie has a nice crispy bite and are lightly flavor which highly compliments the chocolate.

Skeleton Ramune Candy-
This was such a cute addition to the box. The bone pieces have small holes that can be put together to make a skeleton shape. The candy was just as good too. Nice and sweet.

Coris Mizuame DIY Flavor Change Candy-
This was such a fun candy to get in the box. I love DIY projects and this fantastic. The pack comes with three flavored liquid candies in strawberry, soda, and lemon. There is a mixer and a plastic pack as well for holding them. All three flavors were awesome and even better together!

Halloween Caramel Corn-
Tohato has created these soft crisp snacks since 1971. This months flavor was pumpkin pudding in honor of Halloween. I adored these! They had a sweet and salty flavor from the corn puff.

Koala's March Cookies Halloween Edition-
As a chocolate and cookie lover, this was my other favorite treat in the Japan Candy Box. Not only were the Koala's absolutely adorable, but the chocolate filling in the crunchy cookie was nice and smooth. Plus, how nice is the packaging? Very Kawaii!

Halloween Sweet Candy-
This traditional brown sugar snack was so unique. I've never had anything quite like it. The inside texture was fluffy and soft. The outside had the brown sugar that complimented the interesting bite. Overall, an awesome experience!

Halloween Umaibo Snack Stick-
The Umaibo Snack Stick was a great addition to this box to change up the sweet Halloween candies with something savory. This treat was flavored after authentic Japanese corn potage soup. Though I've yet to try that myself, I'd love to have a bowl now. This snack was delicious!

Marukawa Witch Mystery Gum-
This was a really exciting treat to experiment with. The gum has mystery flavors inside and by combining the five flavors, the taste will disappear. It certainly did! Each gum was chewy and bursting with flavor.

Marukawa Witch Color Change Gum-
This awesome gum will change your tongue to red or black when you chew it. It was so exciting to watch. My younger brother enjoyed seeing what would happen. Plus, the cola flavor was fantastic too.

Monster Stamp Candy-
These Monster Stamp Candies were one of the most creative treats I've ever seen. When you lick the colorful shape, it allows you to use them like traditional art stampers. So fun! Plus, they were yummy to eat too!

In conclusion, I could not get enough of the Japan Candy Box. I highly recommend it for children and families alike. Whether you want to treat yourself or enjoy with others, this is the perfect gift to look forward to. Thank you Japan Candy Box for letting me experience the fun.

August Aroma Box from The Herb Stop

The Aroma Box is one of my favorite subscription boxes.  Each month, the Aroma Box includes three pure essentials oils and one mixed blend in a roll-on container. All of the oils in the box will have a specific theme and work with one another is some way. Each bottle is also a full size container. No puny sample sizes with this box! This month's theme is The Bold and all of these oils are great for the back to school season because they will give you a confidence boost. Each one will help you do your best in the school year, whether you have kids heading to school or you're going there yourself. I just started my fourth year of college, and I wouldn't make it through without my oils. The oils in the August box from Herb Stop are exactly what I was looking for. The selection in this box will help you start out the day on the right foot, and keep your mind sharp and alert all day long.  Here is a little about each of the oils in this box and the benefits they offer.

Bay Laurel - Laurel leaves were once a sign of bravery in ancient times. Today, the oils made from the leaves can still boost your confidence. It's also great for repelling insects and soothing itches. 

Petitgrain - This oil was new to me. It has a sweet aroma that has definite hints of citrus. However, this oil is made from leaves instead of peels like other citrus blends.  This oil works wonders on inflamed skin and will help give you a confidence boost. It also soothes anxiety and mental stress. This is something my teen daughter really needed for those days when she has to give oil reports at school.

Lime - This oil and powerful and sweet. Its great for the colds that come with the new school year. It also encourages clarity, reduces fear, and helps you stay focused.

The Bold Roll-On - This mixed oil helps you feel empowered and unstoppable. The blend is designed to give the use strength and energy. 

This was another amazing box filled with essentials oils everyone should have to back the back to school season run smoothly.  Each one of the varieties it this package will be getting plenty of use. I also love how Herb Stop includes so many great tips on how to use the oils and even recipes to make homemade beauty products. Plus, the oils are always high quality, and never diluted like some other brands I've purchased online.

In addition to the Aroma Box, you can also order individual bottles of any of Herb Stop's high quality oils. They also offer teas, beauty products, seasonings, and so much more. It's a New Age Mama's dream come true! Shipping is always free on orders over $100 so be sure to stock up on all your favorite blends. To see all they have to offer, visit the Herb Stop on their website or follow them via their social media.

CUTEST KAWAII ITEMS
We carefully handpick kawaii things you'll surely love!

FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE
The shipping is absolutely FREE to every country worldwide!

HAPPINESS GUARANTEED
These kawaii things are guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

My Thoughts:

I'll admit that I have a weakness for all things cute and Kawaii! Nothing makes my day like an adorable plushie or a fun character item. Something about it allows me to reminisce to my childhood days and enjoy the positive energy of simpler times. Whether you're an adult, a teenager, or child, Kawaii Box is fun for all ages. Everyone can use a dose of Kawaii goodness in their life!

I was surprised how quickly my first Kawaii Box arrived upon shipping. After discovering the brand it was so exciting to see the fun pink box at my doorstep! Squeals of joy could be heard as I went through my items. I will attach a picture of each goodie from this month's box and a description.

Namakemono No Mikke Plushie-
Naturally, my eyes went right to this adorable Sloth plush! I'm a huge fan of sloths and this little baby was a perfect addition to my plushie collection. Plus, pink is one of my favorite colors. The Namakemono No Mikkie plush is soft, cuddly, detailed, and oh so Kawaii!

Kawaii Octopus Ink Pen-
This fun Octopus pen will keep you company and prepare you for anything during your daily activities. Who needs a basic pen when you can have one with a smiley, squishy buddy instead? This fine point pen is lightweight and perfect for Kawaii lovers everywhere!

Magical Unicorn Pencil Pouch- 
I'll admit, I lose my pens and pencils like no tomorrow, especially during the school and work year. This pencil pouch is perfect to store your Kawaii Octopus Ink Pen from your Kawaii Box, as well as other essentials. Plus, who doesn't love Unicorns? Looking at this pouch transports me to a peaceful relaxing wonderland of magic!

Koinobori Plush Charm-
Fun fact! Koinobori means "carp streamer" in Japanese. You can see these types of windsocks flown throughout Japan. They are viewed as a celebration of Children's Day. This holiday was created in the hopes that children will live happy and healthy lives. This is the perfect little good luck charm to hang off of your pencil pouch, purse, book bag, or any other fun places.

Never Stop Dreaming Notebook-
As a writer, I love having lined notebooks of this size around. They fit perfectly in my purse or handbag. Whenever I need to write down an appointment, deadline, inspiration, note, or list, it's easy to grab and use at a moment's notice. Plus, I can avoid lugging around heavier ones that are bulky and take up a ton of room. These are simple to store and carry. I love the Unicorn design and phrase "Never Stop Dreaming". The pages on the side have a matching design as well. It's a great addition with the Unicorn pouch and Octopus pen!

Rainbow Pon-de-Ring Squishy-
Another fun fact to share! Pon-de-Rings are a speciality item at the Japanese chain, Mister Donut. They are made by attaching dough balls together in a circle. This squishy is a fun way to feel like you're experiencing Mister Donut yourself. I enjoy sensory items such as these because they're soft and bounce back into place when you press down. The colors of this item are exquisite as well.

Fruity Eraser-
This eraser treat was so sweet! Mine was in the shape of a Dragonfruit and I was thrilled! It reminded me of a couple summers ago when I tried a Dragonfruit for the very first time. My coworker had brought it into work and split a piece with me and our students. It's certainly one of the coolest looking fruits. Unique just like we are as human beings!

Sumikko Gurashi Stickers-
It is said that Sumikko Gurashi are shy and represent the nature of others who may be shy as well. This sticker set is colorful, whimsical, and represents the very essence of Kawaii! I was impressed with how many were included. It's perfect for decorating. I'm going to put mine on greeting cards and thank you notes.

Yori Cook Mini Whiteboard-
Last but certainly not least we have the great, Yori Cook Mini Whiteboard. This is a wonderful addition to this months box which supplied items for organization, time management, and back to school essentials. On one side of the whiteboard is a larger area for drawing and writing. The other has days of the week for all your planning needs. Included is an erasable marker.

Above is the brochure included in the box. It goes over each item included which I find to be extremely handy in learning about the history and uses of each. There's also information about how you can win a free Kawaii Box and invite your friends!

The Giveaway:

Kawaii Box was kind enough to provide a giveaway for our lovely readers! I want to give a special thank you to them allowing me to review and share these fantastic items with my readers here at, New Age Mama! I know our lucky winner will love their box as much as I loved mine!
