If you still like the element of surprise, you can let Petbox pick out the items for you. Petbox also gives back to other animals. For every Petbox purchased, a rescue animal is fed. Petbox gives back to shelters, rescues and animal volunteers to feed hungry animals every day. I love companies that give back.

Oliver and I were sent a box to review. I did not pick out the items, so everything was a surprise.

| The Box |
The box was very cute. I liked the bright blue box with white dogs and cats on it.
|
| Inside Lid |
The inside lid can be personalized for your pet.

| First Look |
Petbox included a card that gave some information about Petbox.
From Petbox “KONG Cat Cozies are constructed of ultra-soft plush fabric that cats love to tackle and cuddle. Each Cat Cozie toy is packed with KONG's premium North American catnip and has a crinkle sound to help attract cats and initiate play.”
This was a nice krinkle toy, but Oliver only played with it a bit.
From Petbox “Chewing these wholesome and delicious treats helps to reduce your cat's plaque and tartar buildup. Feline Harvest cat treats are grain free and gluten free with a great taste that cats cannot resist.”
Oliver liked these and I was glad they work on plaque and tarter.
From Petbox “Did you know that cats can suffer from achy and stiff joints just like people and dogs do? Cat Hip Action treats contain cat-specific levels of the same pharmaceutical-grade glucosamine and chondroitin found in their best-selling Hip Action dog treats. Zuke's Hip Action glucosamine treats for cats are an easy, delicious way to support joint function and maintain kitty's mobility.”
These have a strong fish smell but Oliver gobbled it up. Oliver has been trying to get back in the box ever since.
From Petbox “The KONG Laser helps facilitate interactive play sessions and provides endless fun. Point the laser at the floor or wall and let your cat chase and attempt to capture its elusive prey. This interactive toy will provide hours of entertainment for you and your cat.
A few minutes of play every day can help strengthen the bond between you and your cat. Encourages exercise and promotes good health.”
I couldn't get a picture of Oliver playing with the laser pointer but he loved it.
These are little plush toys that are infused with honeysuckle. Oliver didn't play with them right away, but I keep finding them different places, so I know he is playing with them.
From Petbox “The Big Ol' Catnip Sack is filled 100% with cosmic catnip and is sure to entertain your furry friend for hours! Don't worry though, the catnip sack is only stuffed with 100% cosmic catnip.”
Oliver loves catnip and he played with this right away.

| Loving the catnip |
Final Thought: The total value was $26.70. I was disappointed in the total value. I was hoping that it would be closer to $39.00. Oliver and I did enjoy all the items in the box however. The laser pointer and catnip were our favorites, and I liked that you can select your own items in the box. If you would like to try Petbox, you can use the code BOXMOM20 to save 20% off your subscription. Just click HERE to sign up.

| The Box |
The box was shipped by UPS (all boxes are). It is a very beautiful box.
|
| First Look |
The box was very pretty, from my first look. On top, was a note thanking me for my review.
|
| Besh Box Sticker |
Besh Box seals their boxes with a Besh Box sticker. I like the attention to detail that Besh Box put in their boxes.
|
| Contents |
The box was packed with items
|
| Information Card |
John Besh included information about every product in the box. This month's theme was Holiday's From the Heart
From Chef Besh “Too often we think of planting out kitchen garden or window sill only when we want fresh herbs and vegetables. Get these seeds started in a warm sunny place inside so that you have a seedling ready for the garden. We'll be using these peppers in upcoming recipes and they're great to have on hand for a variety of dishes”.
I don't have a green thumb, but I have been known to keep a few plants alive. I will plant these with L and see if we can keep them alive.
From Chef Besh “I love tools and ingredients both to have multiple purposes. This pastry cutter is one of those indispensable tools that too often don't come to mind until we need one. The strong wood handle gives it the heft that you're looking for when your hands are a mess with flour and butter.”
This is made in Italy and feels expensive. You can use the flat wheel to cut hand made Italian pizza, and use the perforated side for cutting dough. This is a cool gadget and I am excited to use it.
From Chef Besh “I love to split these plump vanilla beans lengthwise and carefully scrape out their delectable seeds that can be used in any number of recipes. After doing this, hang onto the bean pods and cover them with a generous amount of sugar which will then be perfumed by the vanilla and can be later used to impart their sensuous flavors into other dishes”
I actually didn't know this is what vanilla beans looked like. I linked this product to something similar, and estimated the cost. This look fun to work with and I will need to find a great recipe to use.
From Chef Besh “A good towel is the most important tool in the kitchen, next to a quality knife. This is my favorite and what I use at home. We'll be sending you a new one each month. Enjoy!”
This towel is super soft and is a huge towel. It is 20 x 28″ and are supposed to get thirstier and softer after each wash. I love this towel.
From Chef Besh “I can't live without this tool in my kitchen. Not only is it great for working with pastry dough. I use it for handling my biscuit dough in the morning, fresh pastas and for cleaning up the flour every time we roll pastry out.”
I am excited to make some cookies and try this out!
From Chef Besh “These Inglewood pecan are my favorite because of their subtle sweet flavors and soft texture. They are perfectly suited for so many dishes from the classic New Orleans praline to toasted pecans with brown butter served over fish, you simply can't go wrong.”
I am going to use these to make a great holiday dish to bring for Christmas.
|
| Fleur de Lis ornament $5.00 est |
From Chef Besh “Just a little something for your home to celebrate the festive season”
This is a really pretty ornament and is hanging on my tree now.
|
| Recipes and Playlist |
Chef Besh included recipes to make Apple & Pear Tart with Pecans, Basic Sweet Dough, and Hot Spiced Wine. They all sound fantastic and I want to try all three!
Chef Besh also included a playlist of 8 songs to go with the fantastic recipes.
 |
| Whole Box |
Final Thought: The total value for this box is $70.09 and that doesn't include the recipes. This was a very well curated box and everything felt very high end. Every item in the box was high quality. I loved the kitchen tools included in the box, along with the tips on how to use them. I would never had owned these products, if they weren't included. I liked learning new cooking techniques and ways to make cooking easier. If you are interested in trying Besh Box, click HERE.

Julep's theme for December was the Glitterati Collection. I love glitter nail polish, so I was really excited to get this month's box. This month, Julep released the Neutral Sweep Eyeshadow Palette. It came with five neutral eyeshadows. I decided it wasn't for me, so I chose to get the It Girl collection. It Girl always has three nail polishes.

| The Box |
This month, the box was a pretty silver

Each box has a sticker, letting you know what box you have

I was really excited to see the hair ties!

| Quote |
This month's quote was “Personality is the glitter” by Mae West
|
| Hair Ties |
Julep's BONUS item this month was 2 sets of hair ties. I love these hair ties and was very excited that they were included.
 |
| Celia |
This is a beautiful icy green metallic color
|
| Evelyn |
This is a beautiful Magenta purple crème. This is my favorite polish in the box.
|
| Shoshanna |
Full-coverage yellow holographic glitter. I love all the glitter
|
| The Whole Collection |
Julep also included a 40% off coupon! It is a unique code, so I can't share it.
Final Thought: This was a great month. I love glitter and sparkles and this month delivered. The four hair ties were an awesome bonus and just as great as the nail polish. If you are interested in signing up for Julep, click
HERE and use the code FREEBOX to get your first box free (pay $3.99 shipping). You will not get the same box as regular subscribers, but you will get a box of similar items. Julep is $19.95 a month. You choose what box you want between the 20-24th of each month. If you don't like any of the choices, you can always cancel. I love my
Julep subscription.
