These are these have a rhinestone and pearl combination. They are pretty but I may give this pair to my mother. These are a bit more formal than I usually wear.
Whole Box
The Jewelry
Final Thought:Based on the prices on the accessories shop, the total value is $27.96. For $18.95, I received three pairs of earrings and a bracelet. I think this is a great value and I couldn't buy the items cheaper. They will make great gifts for friends and family. I loved the bracelet and the bow earrings the best. I liked all the items, but wish there were a little more variety with the earrings. As Bamshell grows, I look forward to seeing the new and unique pieces they add to their shop.

What's in the box?Indie Gift Box sends high quality handmade items and other small business items, to go with a theme each month.
This is handmade in the UK. I linked it to a product in the company's Etsy shop, but this one is smaller. The $6.00 value appears accurate. I love the Beatles reference. I will put this on my desk.
I love these spoons. These are handmade out of ceramic and are so well made. They would be cute as a decoration in the kitchen, or to serve dips/sauces. These are my favorite items.
I always have thank you cards at home. I am a believer of the written sentiment, and in this technological time, I don't think there is a replacement for a hand written card.
Wow! This candle smells amazing. It smells like gardenia, roses and maybe some honeysuckle. I love the scent.
Coupons!
Indie Gift Box included a 30% off coupon to Chin Up Prints, a 25% off coupon for G.E.A.R by Re-Invention, and a $30.00 off furniture or 25% coupon code for decor at Wyldwood Home.

*This review is an adult subscription box. This review contains mature themes.
The Fantasy Box is an adult subscription service, designed to give your intimate relationship a little kick. When The Fantasy Box asked me to review their subscription, I couldn't say yes fast enough. I am a happy married woman of 10 years, and I am always up for taking time to be with my husband C. This is not a box of sex toys, although the Fantasy Box includes some cool stuff. The Fantasy Box is about a “choreographed” experience with instructions on how to make it happen. The Fantasy Box sends a box of directions and various items, some intimate, some not, designed around a certain theme. Each box explores a fantasy. Sometimes the focus will be the women, sometimes the man. Each month is different and each box is designed to bring you and your partner closer together. No two months are the same, but everyone gets the same intro box. The intro box (the one I am reviewing), focuses around communication with your partner.
The Details
How Does It Work? When you sign up, you fill out for the women, her size (S-4X), date of birth, bra size, and cup size. The man fills out his size (S-2X) and date of birth. You also select monthly or every other month for the frequency of boxes.

Subscriptions and Cost:
When am I billed: The 1st of the month
How do I cancel? You can cancel from your account. You can also switch plans, or frequencies. You must cancel before the last day of the month, to avoid being charged for the next month.
When my box came, I had no idea what it was. I like to keep my intimate matters private, so I like there is a giant Fantasy Box sticker on the box.
The box
The box is beautiful. This is the best actual box, of any subscription box I have received. The box is made very sturdy. The front lifts out, open and has a magnetic closure.
Side of the box
I love the details on the side of the box. All the little pictures are very cute. I am going to reuse this box and store my “intimate” items.
First Look
Welcome to The Fantasy Box
Under the brochures, there was a white welcome card and 2 cards that say Leader and Follower. You read the welcome note first. It goes into detail about the instructions for the box and what you need to do.
The Directions
The directions are in two parts: Part 1: Let's Talk About Sex and Part 2: Leader & Follower. Each sections goes into detail about what you need to do. (keep reading for more details)
For Him/For Her
The intro box is all about communication. The top brochures are a survey for you and your spouse. There are 20 questions, and each survey is the same. The first task, is to fill out the survey and discuss over a romantic dinner (maybe over desert). C and I discussed them after the children went to bed. It is hard to get a night away, so we work with what we have. The questions are very specific. Some of the questions are: the best way to build anticipation is to: (select an answer), I am turned on by (select an answer). After 10 years of marriage, I was surprised to learn new things about C. How often do you really sit down and talk with your partner about your sexual preferences? After 10 years, we really hadn't discuss that in many years.
Leader and Follower Cards
Each Leader and Follower card has instructions on the back. Each person picks what role they are going to be. You don't get to see what the other person's directions are, that is part of the fun. I am not going to share what the instructions of either card are, because that would ruin the fun!
The Goods
There are so many things in this box, it took me a bit to get to the actual items. Everything was wrapped and placed very nicely in the box. I love pink and black together.
What is a good fantasy without a blindfold? There are two elastic bands on the back, so it won't slip off your head. Note: I am not an expert on this, just an observation.
It is hot pink, which I love. It has 3 speeds, and comes with batteries. Did I mention it is waterproof? We all know what this is for, so I will move on.
The can says it is an “aphrodisiac infused ritual”. It has a really nice smell that is hard to describe. It is a soy candle that is paraban free, cruelty free, natural and petro. deriv. free.
This is a very flattering babydoll dress. It is one size, but I think it would look great, on many different sizes. It is super soft too.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box was $66.04. This is a great box value, as half the fun is the cards and survey! This box costs $59.00 by subscription. I will spare you the details, but this is a fun box. The Fantasy Box really put thought into making this box: from the communication exercise, to the directions, to the items in the box. Again, this is so much more than a box of sex toys. It will bring you and your partner closer together, and you will have a deeper understanding of your partner's likes/dislikes.

I love candles. They can brighten a room, provide a pleasant smell, or just improve your mood. I was excited when Flicker Box sent me a box to review.

Witch City Wicks is made in Salem, Ma. Each candle is made from 100% all natural soy wax, phthalate-free, fine fragrance oils, color dye, lead free, and cotton wicks. Each tea light burns 4 hours. I love the tea lights are long burning. Some tea lights only burn for an hour or less. The scent is Trick or Treat, and it is made especially for Flicker Box. The scent is a vanilla/light cinnamon smell.
This is also made by Witch City Wicks for Flicker Box. The scent is Poison Apple. This has a spicy apple smell. I love these candles and they remind me of a cold crisp fall.
Mosley Lane Votive Candles $2.50 each ($7.50 total)
These candles are made with soy wax and beeswax. Each candle is hand poured and they don't use any artificial dyes or additives. There are 3 different scents: The Witching Hour, All Hallows Eve, and Spiced Pumpkin. The company put colored stars on the bottom, to distinguish each candle. All Hallows Eve smells like buttery/vanilla. Spiced Pumpkin smells accurate. The Witching Hour smells of cinnamon.
This is not only a beautiful candle, but a floating candle. The candle will naturally go out, once it has burned down. This is my first fall decoration for the house.
This is a new business on Etsy. The owner, Rachel creates the candles out of soy and is free from dyes. She uses mason jars to hold the candles, and encourages everyone to re-use their containers, when they are used up.
Bag of Treats
This was a fun bonus to the gift. A cute bag of candy!
Advertisements and Matches
The Witching Hour and The Flying Farm included cards for their businesses. Flicker Box also included a book of matches.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box was $32.50. This is above the $32.00 cost. As with all artisan products, there is a shipping savings. I thought all the candles complimented each other very well. All the scents were pleasing and smelled of fall. Save 10% on 3, 6, and 12 month subscriptions by using the code REVIEW2013.
