*Clove Pink has paused their subscription boxes* It was quite a mess trying to get this box. I ordered it for my step-mom for Christmas on December 3. Because our Christmas was on the 17th, I asked when it would ship because I wanted to make sure it arrived in time. Tammy said it would... Continue Reading →

Peko Produce – December 28 2022
I got an e-mail from Peko today. It's a play on Spotify's "Wrapped", so they have "Peko Wrapped". This is nice, but it's inaccurate. They said I only bought 1 box when I've received 3. Hmm... They also don't include pantry items, so overall the Peko Wrapped is a disappointment. The email also included a... Continue Reading →
Peko Produce – December 19 2022
This is our second box from Peko Produce. Most of the produce looks to be in better shape this time except for the tomatoes, which have some mould on them. This is a pretty nice variety that contains quite a few things that we commonly eat, and others we like to eat but rarely purchase.... Continue Reading →
Woof Crate – December 2022
What made me subscribe to 3 dog subscription boxes? Ahhh! At least the dogs will be happy. Woof Crate, along with Fetch. Co, claims to be Canada's premium subscription for dogs. Actually, technically Woof Crate's tagline is the most premium subscription for dogs, though they don't say what makes them different from other subscription boxes.... Continue Reading →
Peko Produce – December 4 2022
I am not sure how I feel about this. When one orders produce for the week, one would expect it to arrive fresh and last at least a few days. Some of the produce came squished, some expired promptly, some arrived already rotting, and some rotted a day or two later. Peculiar doesn't mean rotting.... Continue Reading →
The Extraordinary Man – Fall 2022
I'm not going to fight these guys to give them my business. Such a bizarre company. I've subscribed twice now. The first time, back in July, I had absolutely no issues and the products were fine. I was expecting a fall box, but they sent a summer box almost immediately, which I got 4 days... Continue Reading →

True North – Autumn 2022
Purchasing this box was quite the experience. I paid for it on July 15 with the understanding that it would arrive in September. I got a "Thank you for your order" note with no receipt and no official order confirmation. I e-mailed on September 28 asking what the status was because I never got the... Continue Reading →
Clove Pink – (Another) Mystery Bonus Box!
I was very confused when my package arrived and I saw two boxes again. I had various theories about why this would be the case, but when I opened the box and saw Tammy's card welcoming me to the subscription I knew it was a mistake. I e-mailed her about it and she said I... Continue Reading →
