What’s in the box

Curated by hand. Always 4-6 pieces.

Each month our team chooses 4-6 objects connected by a theme — a book, a candle, a ceramic piece, an artisan food, a stationery item. Most months also include something unexpected.

Total retail value of every box exceeds $90. Subscribers pay $48-$58 depending on plan. Independent makers, ethical sourcing, no AI-generated ‘curation.’

I’ve been a member for 3 years. The discoveries — books I’d never have found, makers I now buy from directly — are worth far more than $58/month.

Gift-subscribed my mom for her birthday. She loved that it didn’t auto-renew. She kept renewing it herself for 18 months.

The candle alone is usually worth $32-45 retail. Add a hardcover book and a ceramic piece, and the math works out before you count anything else.
