I LOVE Conscious Box!

I really do!

With the seemingly hundreds of snack and gift boxes for vegans, make-up lovers, dogs and every other allergy under the sun, it’s hard to find one that you really want to invest in. But I firmly believe that everyone will love Conscious Box. Because let’s face it-who doesn’t want a box of beautifully packaged, cruelty-free goodies to arrive on their doorstep every month?

I fell in love with my Tasterie Box, but the Conscious Box gave it a run for it’s money. For just $20 a month, you can expect oodles of AWESOME, eco-friendly vegan and gluten-free treats, ranging from trail mix bars, organic skincare products and wine gift cards.

Yes, you heard right. WINE GIFT CARDS.

My excitement upon finding mine waiting for me after work last week had me literally squealing with joy on my front porch (sorry neighbors). The box, presentation and wrapping alone was super fun to pull apart and the top layer was filled with lots of paperwork, coupons, even a postcard and some cards with eco-savvy sayings. I was already thrilled-and I hadn’t even hit any of the actual items yet!

Let’s fully explore the awesomeness of each treat, shall we?

$25 voucher for PaperCulture: Seriously some of the cutest, hippie-centric recycled paper goods I have ever seen. You can design your own or let them help you by choosing color schemes or pre-made templates. You can make tons of different cards, return labels, stationery-whatever you want. I made some super-cool return labels for my business and their cuteness is out of control. The best part is, they have you approve the proof, you submit it, and then they email you back with some alternative adjustments. They tweaked my labels to make them look super fab.

Beanfields Chips: These little buggers are crazy addictive. They’re gluten-free, GMO-free and vegan, and although they’re ingredients don’t seem like anything special, they are SO yummy. Totally picking up lots of larger bags on my next Whole Foods trip.

Flavrz Drink Mix: This was probably my favorite item and it completely took me by surprise. Not one for flavored drinks, I generally stick to plain water. But these organic additives are filled with great ingredients (no natural flavors!) and are subtly delicious. I had citrus hibiscus and blueberry pomegranate ones, and they truly were amazing. Sitting in the blistering heat was a little easier sipping on these sweet, rehydrating mixes all day. I imagine they are great for hangovers 😉

Skout Bars: My mouth is watering just writing about these bars. They were very filling and insanely scrumptious. We actually packed them for our hike last week (how very crunchy, granola of us!) and although it felt cliche to be eating them atop a mountain, I swear they gave us extra energy to make the trek. And again, they’re organic and full of flavor, instead of crap.

Naked Wines: Sadly, this gift card isn’t valid in Massachusetts (not sure why-this state sucks sometimes), but they did offer me 20% off an order instead of letting me use the allotted $50 gift card I was given. Instead, I let a wino friend of mine from Vermont use it. Their wines look super delicious and unique though, and extremely reasonably priced. Will report back when I’ve sampled some of my friends. Damn you, Massachusetts!

There was also fun stuff from Lotus Moon, LARABAR, Nature’s Baby Organics and Herbal Zap. I don’t want to give away ALL the surprises (where’s the fun in that?), so I guess you’ll just have to buy a box for yourself. And use the code “INSTAGRAM” and get 25% off your first box! You’re getting over $100 worth of vegan swag for less than $20-you can’t beat that!

Conscious Box, will you marry me?
