Here is a breakdown of the subscription boxes I have chosen and not chosen during this time and my reasons why. These are, of course, subject to change, and I will be updating this page as my experiences with them progress. I'm always looking for more interesting Canadian subscription boxes to try. If you have... Continue Reading →
Though I'd heard of subscription boxes for years, I thought they were a silly thing to get into. Why spend money on things you likely don't want? My sister had subscribed to a box, though I can't remember which one, and ended up giving most of the items away. Truthfully, I feel quite embarrassed when... Continue Reading →
A few months ago I ordered a gift box from Café Hubert Saint-Jean as part of a job that I will not further discuss. One of the goodies inside the box was the utterly spectacular hazelnut and dark chocolate spread from Allo Simonne. I have always been a fan of Nutella, but this is so... Continue Reading →

I was so excited. I waited with anticipation the whole following day,... Continue Reading →
Sea Salt & Toffee Bits I was in the Co-op the other day buying chicken feed, when I saw a lot of chocolates in different shapes: horseshoes, dogs, horses, etc. They definitely fit the theme of the store. That was what originally caught my attention, but then I noticed these two bars that looked fairly... Continue Reading →
The Maple Box: "Happy Summer" 2022 When I purchased an annual subscription to The Maple Box, I wasn't expecting to receive a box until the fall, so along with the subscription I ordered two bundles, which I wrote about in an earlier post. I enjoyed the products in the bundles so much, I was really... Continue Reading →
Bouquet purchased July 22 2022 I never used to buy flowers. Then my sister started her pursuit of the art of being a florist, and I couldn't help but jump on board and support that endeavour. Now when she's making bouquets my house often ends up full of flowers. Don't imagine this is because she's... Continue Reading →
