Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
This one was a shocker. I usually get the current month's box 7-15 days into the month. I have a spreadsheet, so I know exactly when the previou ones came. The June box, however, arrived on May 30! They completely bucked the trend on this one, and I can't help but wonder why. Vacation? Preparedness?... 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's the spring box arriving... Continue Reading →
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 →

Cost: $20 for 4? I don't... Continue Reading →
