Inside the Box
Full of the usual relevant goodies. There are moon dates, tarot spreads, and lots of information about Ostara.
Spiral Rain uses some pretty lovely graphics, and this one is no exception. I love the look of this rabbit as well as the colours and other details.
This is a small, but cute figurine of a rabbit to help celebrate Ostara. It’s actually quite nicely made, and the details are excellent. Sadly my phone doesn’t take the best pictures, and I am clearly not an excellent photographer.
I still have my box of rose incense from years ago now. Between all the candles and sprays, there’s rarely an opportunity to burn incense.
This 30g bag of tea to celebrate Ostara contains red rooibos, cacao nibs, calendula, and natural essences. I’m curious to try it.
This is a much larger bag than usual with the same amount of tea.
I really enjoyed the last bottle of shower gel I received from Spiral Rain (Lughnasadh 2023), and it lasted for months. This is a totally different bottle shape, but it appears to contain the same amount (240ml). The smell is quite pleasant with heavy notes of lavender.
I don’t really like the smell of this candle. It reminds me of old people. I have absolutely nothing against old people. I love them and have friends who are considered elderly (I always forget this when I’m with them), but there is a sort of fragrance mixed with the smell of many medications that kind of puts me off. Of course this doesn’t smell like bodies excreting medications, but it reminds me of that smell. Also, apparently since I have a young baby I’m not supposed to be burning candles anymore anyway so as not to damage those wee lungs.
It’s hard to tell, but this candle contains rose quartz and spring violets.
This is a pleasant spray that seems to be heavy on the rose scent. It has a slight burnt note to it, which I find strange. It kind of reminds me of that time I tried sparkling red wine in France and it tasted exactly like cigarettes to me. It was very bizarre.
Overall Impression
A decent box to celebrate Ostara. I am really happy to see more shower gel, and even though I don’t need it, I like the rabbit figurine.
