If you’re anything like me, you often see handmade and/or natural products – especially personal-care products like soaps, lotions, and cosmetics, that you would like to try. But it’s kind of a pain to try samples from a variety of companies, because then you pay multiple instances of several dollars’ shipping (each), to get individual samples from all the different companies.
Holly has come up with a wonderful solution to this dilemma with My Dream Sample Box. My Dream Sample Box is a program whereby artisans and crafters can submit samples of their products, and buyers can then purchase a whole boxful of various samples, at one pop. This way, you get samples from a variety of producers, with one single shipping fee!
What I, personally, consider the “regular” box is a boxful of handcrafted samples. There are several sizes available: the Mini, the Mighty, and the Mega. In addition, there is a “Masters” box, which is direct-sales samples, and a box especially for kids. These are done up very nicely; each one arrives in a Priority Mail box (shipping is included in the cost), and when you remove it from the box it looks like a nice gift “basket” wrapped in cellophane. Here are some pictures of the kids’ box we received for review:
You probably can’t see it very well in the photograph, but all of this stuff was in this box:
There’s a booboo bunny, a teddy bear with a tutu, various lotions and soaps, hair doodads, pins, etc. Of course, the exact contents will vary, as the sponsors change over time, but this should give you a little bit of an idea of what you might find. Check out the Facebook page for a sneak peek at upcoming boxes.
These would make a great, unique gift!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary kids’ box to facilitate this review. However, I really believe in this program and have been a sponsor of several boxes, myself. (You can actually see my pin in the photo above, if you look closely!) All opinions are, as always, entirely my own.
