Little Lace Box, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a subscription service that delivers hand-curated, nearly impossible-to-find designer products directly to your doorstep every month. Boxes will be brimming with high-end, brand name beauty, lifestyle, and home product samples to treat yourself to and dazzle your friends during your next night out.
Little Lace Box ships via USPS Priority Mail and took just two days to arrive. I received a tracking notification for it on Friday and it arrived yesterday – Monday. They generally ship the last ten days of the month and will note on the website when you can expect shipment for a month.
This first look was after I took the top layer of packing peanuts out. This was a big box and it had a lot of packing peanuts in it!
The spoilers for this one came out about an hour before I actually received by box, but you know I had to look and spoil it for myself. I am always just so excited about this one that I have to know what’s in it!
The January 2015 Little Lace Box was curated around a theme called “The Dining Car”. It was selected to commemorate the beginning of the fifth season of Downton Abbey on PBS and included the following “practical vintage” items:
~Siena Tea Collection – Tea for One ($23.99): I may not like tea, but I do love this teapot! According to LLB, it’s a throwback to the Edwardian era in England when tea was custom-prepared, one cup at a time, based on each guest’s preference. This could inspire me to learn to like tea. Maybe.
~Lucy B’s Roll-On Perfume Oil (Royal Green Fig & Vanilla Woods) ($19): I love this. All of the scents sounded great (and I am probably going to try and trade for a few others), but I am thrilled with this Royal Green Fig and Vanilla Woods. It was kind of heavy at first, but it settled nicely and was a great warm scent.
~Classic Edwardian Hair Jewelry Bobby Pin Set ($14): LLB said that they didn’t want to fill the box with vintage jewelry (which I appreciated), but they did want to include something that was both beautiful and practical. I won’t wear these a ton, but I will make sure to get some use out of them because they are so pretty.
~Beekman 1802 Authentic Hand-forged Britannia Fruit Spoon ($20): I had no idea what a fruit spoon was until yesterday. At first I thought maybe it was a special spoon for scooping out fruit (like grapefruit or whatever), but it turns out it’s just a big fancy spoon you eat fruit with. I’m good with that.
~Royal Apothic Bubble Cream (Holland Park) ($20): I am totally 100% obsessed with all things Royal Apothic. And this Bubble Cream is awesome. It’s a like a shower gel, but it lathers way better. I love it!
~How To Be A Lady ($12.01): This book is timeless. I giggled at a few of the suggestions, but LLB is right, there is nothing vintage about proper manners. This book is good now and will still be good in 30 years.
~Capital Bee Raw Hand Cut Holly Honeycomb ($7): B just made homemade biscuits over the weekend, but wasn’t thrilled with how they turned out, so maybe this honey will inspire him to try again. Honey on warm biscuits is fantastic and such a treat!
All totaled I came up with a value of $116 for the January 2015 Little Lace Box. As usual, they more than nailed the theme this month. Their curation is spot on and listen, these girls (LLB is made up of three sisters) have taste. I totally trust their picks and just absolutely love this box.
