Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
Start: Summer 2022 End: Spring 2023 Total Spent: $501.76 including tax Total Value: ~$800 before tax Unlike most subscription boxes, The Maple Box does not do a lot of communicating. There are no annoying requests for feedback, or selling add-ons, no newsletters, or really anything. It's basically radio silence. There aren't even shipping updates. When... Continue Reading →
Manmade Boxer Briefs 7-Pack I decided to go for the 7-pack for these reasons: Free shipping over $30. The cost goes down from $24/pair to $22/pair. Tony goes through underwear almost as fast as he goes through socks. If he likes them, he might as well have lots of them. If he doesn't, he'll still... Continue Reading →
When Maple arrived, it was a surprise. I thought it was the first summer box to arrive. I was wrong. The winter box arrived so late, and other summer boxes have already arrived (I'm looking at you FabFitFun) that I forgot they hadn't yet sent their spring box. Ta da! There's the spring box arriving... Continue Reading →

It's May and we've got a pair of socks with very fall colours and a nod to Canadiana with maple leaves and poutine. Odd time of year methinks, but I'll take it. I think most of the world forgets about Canada, even Canadians ourselves, which is part of the reason I started this blog. Having... Continue Reading →

My favourite thing about Woof Crate is the three chews that I get in each box. It's immediate gratification for both me and my dogs.

It's interesting that since they stopped including the information sheets in the boxes, they only revealed the contents online a couple times. Is this a sign that Loti Wellness is going downhill? Will Loti still be around next year? It feels like it's going the way of Extraordinary Man Box. April's box contents reveal still... Continue Reading →
