Nicholas Black Box, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a monthly men’s lifestyle subscription box. Each month you will be mailed a box containing 5 lifestyle and grooming samples from an array of categories. These samples will be from well-known brands and some new to the market brands.
Nicholas Black Box ships via USPS and all boxes are shipped by the 21st of the month.
The first look was great! The box was nice and full and looked to be packed with a bunch of great brands.
Nicholas Black Box doesn’t have a theme, but the information card was broken down into categories (Grooming, Skin Care, Fashion and Health & Fitness) and gave details on each of the items in the box. Here is what was included in the September 2014 box:
~Every Man Jack Face Lotion with SPF 15 ($1.50): B has tried a few products from this brand and has been happy with the results. I suspect he will be packing this for his upcoming travels.
~Jack Black True Volume Thickening Shampoo ($.79) & Face Buff Energizing Scrub (~$1): You know what B doesn’t need? Thicker hair. LOL! Seriously his hair is already so thick and grows so fast. I might steal this and see how it works for me.
~Shea Moister Tea Tree After Shave & Bump Preventer (~$1): Now I know we have gotten this somewhere in the past as well. I may have even bought it. Again this will be another useful item for traveling.
~Red Leaf Bath And Body Soap ($1.62): I just said I hoped to see this again somewhere and here it is. B really likes this soap and now I want to try the woman’s line even more.
~The Tie Bar Socks ($8): I said earlier today that B’s bumble bee socks were the wildest ones he had, but these pink / purple camo ones are right up there. It’s possible they are even wilder? I don’t know if he will like them, but I do.
~KIND Bar Oats & Honey with Toasted Coconut (~$2): This is another good item for B. He likes kind bars and this will make a good snack. I packed a bar like this for L to take to school one day for his snack and he told me he was scared to eat it because he thought it had peanuts in it (and peanuts are not allowed at school). I thought that was cute and can see where he would think that 😉
All totaled I came up with a value of $15.91 for the September 2014 Nicholas Black Box. I liked the contents of this box, but wish the value were higher. The box is $15.99/month if you sign up using the 20% off lifetime coupon (“intro“) so it comes it at just about the cost of the box. If they can get their box values up, I think this is going to be one to check out for sure.
