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 →
Clove Pink – Fall 2022
Though targeted for women 50+, I've found these boxes to be quite good for women of all ages. Not that men can't enjoy them too, but generally speaking, most of the products are designed with women in mind. Clove Pink Overview Cost: $49.95 CAD + Tax Value: 3-5 quality non-toxic personal care essentials of unknown... Continue Reading →
Acre 75 Gathered – Fall 2022
This box is so superbly designed. The details make it really fun. It is also super cool that they focus on products from Canadian towns that have fewer than 30,000 residents. Acre 75 Gathered Subscription Box Overview Cost: $97.95 + tax Value: Unknown Frequency: Quarterly Cancellation Policy: One month's notice Payment: The 20th of September,... Continue Reading →

Sweet Reads – Ghosts (August 2021)
It was such a relief to get the last two boxes from my order. Having ordered the boxes on July 23, it was disheartening that they took so long to ship the boxes, and even more disheartening that they forgot half my order in that first shipment. Now that they've arrived I no longer have... Continue Reading →
