Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
I'm always a bit confused when the MSRP listed on the contents page is different than what the companies are selling their own products for. For example, the Blooming Wild Botanicals lotion bar is $18 on their website, but listed at $22 on Let's Go Eco's sheet. I can't quite figure this out. Is it... Continue Reading →
Acre 75 is always a fun box because we get to learn about all these small towns scattered across the country. This is not a box where you get a screaming deal for the price you spend. The appeal is the curated arrangement of products from small Canadian businesses. Acre 75 Gathered Subscription Box Overview... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →

On their website Maple states that their winter boxes are to be shipped out mid January. I didn't get mine until February 17, which is nearing the time when most companies are thinking of sending their spring boxes. I sent them an e-mail about it, but they just said that they are a small team.... Continue Reading →
I almost didn't get this box. My subscription was paused when my payment didn't go through due to credit card fraud. Though I updated the number, my subscription fell through the cracks. I didn't notice until I got the email for the holiday reveal that my credit card was never charged and I wouldn't be... Continue Reading →
One thing I really appreciate about Let's Go Eco is how smoothly their company seems to run. There is plenty of warning about exactly when and how much you're going to be charged, which I find helpful. If you have a subscription, you're only locked in for two boxes for the simple reason that there... Continue Reading →
Tammy sent us some sad news on December 15, 2022. She has decided to put Clove Pink on pause. It appears there are still some items left on her website for purchase, but subscription boxes are no longer available, and many items are already sold out. If you're interested in a subscription box, you may... Continue Reading →
