"Hygge, (pronounced hue-gah) is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cozy, charming or special." If you watch the video, you will know that we did not know how to pronounce it at the time. I love getting things... Continue Reading →
Friday Sock Co – June 2023 (Women’s)
At the time of writing it is another miserable day in June, reminiscent of winter except for the fact that everything is very green. It's also quite overgrown since my lawnmower broke down (again). Having socks with ice cream on them is a bit humorous. I would like the warmth to come back without needing... Continue Reading →
Friday Sock Co – June 2023 (Men’s)
'Tis the season to be camping falalalalalalalala. Actually, I don't really like camping all that much. I love being outdoors. I love sleeping in a tent, but needing to pee in the middle of the night, being surrounded by other people, getting up when it's just so cold outside, and wet and dirty dogs make...

Sockbox – May 2023 Part 2
There was a slight chance that they would have realized their mistake in not sending two pairs of socks in June, and would have rectified that by sending two pairs of socks in the "May box" that arrived on June 16. However, considering the fact that they didn't even notice that they hadn't sent the... Continue Reading →
Spiral Rain: Witch & Ohm – June 2023
Here we are in June with another two great boxes. I am realizing now that in this case, prepaying for the entire year up front was a very good thing as the prices have gone up significantly. The Witch & Ohm boxes are $45 each with a digital grimoire. Surprisingly, it's $95 if you get... Continue Reading →
Waggle Mail – First box: June 2023
This is our first box to come from Saskatchewan! Now we just need to get The Maritimes and territories on board. If you know or come across any from those places, pass that knowledge on to me! Waggle Mail Subscription Box Overview "Canada's only vet-curated dog subscription box. Packed with purposeful toys, treats, and accessories."... Continue Reading →
Let’s Go Eco – Summer 2023
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 →
Woof Crate – June 2023
Last week Ryan e-mailed me to do a 7-month check in to see if I was still happy with how my subscription is going. He asked if I wanted to make any changes, and to let him know if there is anything I'd like to see in future boxes. I'm still fantasizing about an eco-friendly... Continue Reading →
Sockbox – June 2023
So we still haven't gotten our socks from May yet. We got the new underwear, which was great, but the socks sadly never arrived. I e-mailed Marshall, and it took 4 days to get a response. He tried to clarify that they were to come separately, so I had to e-mail back and reiterate that... Continue Reading →
Acre 75 Gathered – Summer 2023
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 →
