Got To Try It Mom

Fall is finally here again and for me it means time to pull out my blankets and snuggle up in a chair with my tea and a book. I just found a tea subscription box, so I've been drinking and trying a whole lot of teas. I came across these little guitar coffee/tea spoons and even though guitars aren't really my thing they were super cute .



This guitar spoon set comes with 5 different finishes and I love all of them. I really enjoyed the variety because just choosing one color would have been difficult. They are the perfect size for coffee mugs. I have glass stir sticks that I normally use for mixing my hot drinks, but them being glass they have almost all broken. I started with 20 and a year later I'm down to about 4. I'm glad I don't have to worry about these stainless steel guitars spoons breaking and can just toss them in the dishwasher. I've washed them a few times and the finishes are holding up very well. These are a great addition to any coffee bar. They are very detailed as you can see below.



If you are interested in these spoons you can find them HERE

I did receive these spoons at a great discount in an exchange for my honest review.

Everything in this box you can find on Blippo which is the company that runs the Kawaii Box.  Each box includes 10-12 kawaii items ranging from Japanese candy, stationary, and beauty products.



My two favorite things in this box was this cute Shiba Inu Notepad $2.90 this has four styles and I love this grey one I received. Im keeping this in my purse for now.
I also love this Kawaii Flamingo Pen  $1.90 this pen writes so smooth and is a black gel pen.



Happy Cloud Plush Charm $2.90 This cute little cloud guy has a loop so you can attach him to a bag or keychain. This was just a whatever item for me, not something I'm really into but it is cute. 


The eighth and last thing in my box was this Ice Cream Ssquishy Keychain $3.90. I just realized this was suppose to be a keychain. Mine didn't come with any attachment and it doesn't seem broken, so I guess it's just poor quality control. This was another meh item for me, it looks cute and detailed but it isn't anything I would use. If it had come with a keychain I know one of my girls would of snatched it up and attached it to their backpacks.

So if you were to buy all of these items directly from the Blippo website it would have cost you 27.8 all items ship free from the site. So the value of the box is higher than the $19.90 you pay. These things also go on sale often so I'm not so sure about the value of the box. I have to say I was a bit disappointed in this months box, and this will most likely be my last Kawaii Box. They are switching up the box a little and instead of adding 10-12 items are adding fewer items with higher Value. This box was fun to try but out of all the other boxes I receive, I'm least excited to know what is in next months box. What do you think of the Kawaii Box? Have you tried any subscription boxes from Japan?

This months theme was Hanami, Each crate comes with a pamphlet about everything you receive in your crate and links for how to make your DIY. Japan Crate boast that it only sends exclusive Japanese favorites and popular items that you can not find online. The first five items will be what you would get if you ordered a mini crate, the first 10 will be what you get in an original crate and obviously the rest will be what you receive only in the premium crate.



The second thing in the box were these Sonomanma Peach gums. These three gums are meant to be a fun little game between friends, two are sweet and one is sour. I gave each gum a sniff and was able to pick out the sour one which is what I wanted. I really enjoyed the sour flavor and I love how soft and chewy these were. Each gum and a gooey center which was something new to me, the peachy flavor was nice and refreshing as well.








My kids really enjoyed these Strawberry Milk soft candy. The resealable pouch is super cute. The candies are good but nothing I would buy. There is a sweet hard strawberry outer shell and a soft milky sweet soft inside. I don't really like milk flavored or not but my kids love them.



We got a Kikkun Mixed Candy, it's a lot like the fortune candy we got last month but with different flavors.   I don't know what Ramune taste like but I would guess that is what I got, because this didn't taste like grape, strawberry, cola or green apple. Mine came in green and stayed that color which means I have to "try harder" which is what we got last month as well. It was a nice hard candy though.





This mini Strawberry Short Chocolate was so cute and teeny and I didn't expect much from it, to be honest I was a little disappointed to see something so tiny in the box. It was unbelievably creamy and delicious like a more expensive chocolate than I would have figured for this.



These Mochitto Ichigo were exactly what I was expecting to see for mochi. These two little blobs of gooey chewy goodness were everything I expected mochi to feel and taste like. I love the texture of these and the strawberry center was a wonderful addition.


A close up of the strawberry and cream center. These were unbelievably amazing and I love that they aren't sweet but not quiet bland either.


The last thing in my box which wasn't pictured above was this Peach Coca Cola. I have to admit one of the big reasons I chose this box was for the drink in each crate. This Coca Cola was so peachy and refreshing and not at all what I was expecting. I love Cherry coke but I hate the syrupy taste that comes with these added flavors this peach cola did not taste syrupy at all. I throughly enjoyed it and shared it with no one!

My kids and I are really enjoyed our monthly Japan Crate although it is pricey the tastes are amazing and not something that can be found in my town. I love how light and flavorful these snacks are and they all just taste less artificial that what can be found in the states. Maybe it's just me, what do you think about the Japan Crate?

This is my 3rd Pet Treater Box, I like it but I'm not sure my cats like everything in it enough to keep this subscription. My cat's always love the treats and we love the stickers but I'm not sure if that's enough reason to keep this subscription going. I will say everything in this months box was a hit except for one of the toys. My cats don't seem to be really into toys. Trixie loves hair ties and straws and Catboy loves dangle toys and Trixie but it's rare for them to really play with any of their toys.

First thing I always check first is the treat they send out, the treats are my cat's favorite part. They are not always in the mood for treats when we first open the bag but they have enjoyed every one of them so far. I like that this month they didn't send a freeze dried treat like they usually do and instead sent this grain free Turkey and cheddar treat. My cat's love cheese and they really loved this treat.


The second thing I always look at is the sticker because this is mine and my girls favorite item. This one went to my youngest and now lives on her kindle. She thought the cat with coconut bra was hilarious but she didn't quiet get it.


Every Pet Treaters comes with two toys. As I said my cat's aren't really into toys and haven't found one that they like. Catboy loves these kinds of toys though so he enjoyed this one. He absolutely loves being teased, I can stick one of these in the couch cushions and hang it down the back and he will have fun for a good while.



I really love how springy this toy is. The rod has a good amount of give and the fish is attach with corded elastic so this toy is super fun for both parties.


When I saw these hoops with the papery tassels I thought our Trixie girl would really like it. She loves hair ties and she loves light papery things, so why wouldn't she love it? Nope she didn't care for it though. Neither of the cats did more than give them a quick sniff. I'm sure if I put these on the night stand with some hair ties she would take them, but as for now they sit in the cat toy box untouched.


I tried rolling these across the floor in the kitchen thinking she might chase them, like she does when the kids are playing but of course that didn't catch her attention either.


Every box also seems to have a catnip item in it and this month we received Catnip Mist. I sprayed all toys with this before trying to get the cats to play. Trixie wasn't very interested in it, She LOVES eating catnip the smell of it does nothing for her. Catboy loves it though and will lay next to and sniff whatever  I spray this on.

This was everything I received in this months Pet Treater box, I don't check prices but I'm very happy with everything I got for the low price of $12.99. What do you think of this months Pet Treater box? How do you get your cat's to enjoy playing with toys? Do you recommend any other Cat Subscription Boxes?  Let me know in the comments.

My daughter loves Pusheen, so when I came across this Officially Licensed Pusheen Subscription Box we had to get it. It can be a bit pricey but since it only ships out 4 times a year it's actually cheaper than her boodle box was.
This box is so stinking cute! I love the gold foiled and mint balloon. This Pusheen box is a quarterly box.  It cost's $43.95 + 6 Shipping and any state taxes if applicable. Everything inside this box will be valued at over $100 and most things in the box are exclusive to this box. This would make a great gift for any Pusheen lover. It's to late to get this box, you will have to wait until the subscription opens up for the summer edition. Now on to all the lovely things iniside!


The first thing out of the box is this adorable Pusheen plush blanket. This blanket is so soft and silky and was the reason we decided to get the box. This was the first sneak peek of what would be inside this quarters box. The colors are so vivid, this is now my daughters new favorite blanket. She is a serious blanket hoarder, this blanket is always wrapped around her if she's sitting and relaxing.

The second sneak peek we received were these slippers. They did get creased pretty bad in the box but after a few days they weren't noticeable anymore. This box was intended for adults so these are a little big for my 10 yr old. Not that she is bothered by that now she can wear them longer. They are very soft and comfortable for how thin they are.



Every box comes with an exclusive vinyl figure and so we got this Pusheen and his balloons I really love that everything is themed in this box. Sadly my daughter dropped this cute little figure on the carpet as she was taking it to her room and the mint balloon snapped off.


These golden metal Pusheen picture clips are definitely the cats meow. Holds 8 pictures and I love the  golden rings at the ends so you can hang them from push pins or nails. I love the spacing between these some picture clips don't offer enough spacing so you have to skip a few. This was a great addition to this box.


Another cute stationary item, you can never have to many pencil bags and this bag is definitely something I wouldn't mind carrying in my bag. My daughter actually screamed when she saw this, this whole box put her in heaven. I can't get enough of all the gold in this box.



Everyone knows how much cats like mice, keep your mouse tame on this cute Pusheen mouse pad. This went straight to the computer desk with our new Pusheen tape dispenser.  This golden star pin was a bonus item in the box. Pins seem to be the in thing lately, so this was cool.



The last thing in the box was this gold foiled stationary set. The prints are just amazingly adorable  it comes with 9 sheets of paper and envelopes. People don't write or send letters much these days but it is a good habit to get into. My mother in law sends cards all the time, it is a sweet thing to get a special note in the mail. I love that this stationary set will encourage my daughter to send some love in the mail.

I have to say this box does not disappoint. My daughter loved absolutely everything and there are a few things that I wish were mine.  I love that everything is exclusively made just for this subscription.  What you get in this box is amazing and way above the price of the subscription.  I have to say I even love the packaging and plan on using a lot of the tags in my Travelers Notebook as dashboards. Can't let all this gold go to waste!

You can check out the Pusheen Box HERE.  You can add yourself to the mailing list so that you can make sure to get yourself a summer box.  I look forward to what they will be sending out. What do you think of the spring 2018 Pusheen box?
