Lots of boxes arrived today including my March 2015 Orange Glad Sweet Box!
The Sweet Box by Orange Glad, is a carefully curated box of sweet snacks which is delivered to your door every month. It includes 5 deluxe gourmet desserts and the Orange Glad Marketplace allows you to place orders for more of the goodies you love! I actually thought about canceling this one, but I love the snacks so much that I never ended up doing it.
Orange Glad ships via USPS Priority Mail. My box was set to arrive on Friday, but it didn’t make it here until today (Wednesday), so it was delated about 5 days i-transit. Orange Glad shipped on time, but something clearly got delayed along the way with USPS!
Lots of unboxing with this one. Inside the padded envelope was the Orange Glad Box with two smaller boxes inside. And then the actual snacks were inside those two boxes.
The March 2015 Orange Glad Box included the following items:
~Lark’s Fine Foods Russian Tea Cakes: Wow! These were much better than I was anticipating. They are more buttery than nutty and have just the perfect amount of sugar on them. SO good!
~Orange Glad Itty Bitties: I don’t know what could ever be wrong with butter cookies. I absolutely love them. These are perfect. The only thing that would make them more perfect would have been if there were more.
~Sweet E’s Bake Shop Kiss Me I’m Irish Cake Pop: A red velvet cake pop? Yes please! I am saving this one and if it tastes anything like it looks, I am in for a special treat!
~Smackaroons Chocolate Almond Smackaroons: Meh. I don’t generally like coconuts so macaroons don’t do it for me. The chocolate on here was good though.
~Seattle Chocolates San Juan Sea Salt Truffle Bar: This bar was made with all-natural ingredients from one of the most popular chocolatiers in Seattle. This is one of those bars where a little bit goes a long way. You don’t need to eat the entire bar with this one to be satisfied.
I never do a cost breakdown on these boxes and I am guessing that if I did I wouldn’t get to the cost of this box. But this box isn’t really a “value” or a deal. It’s just a fun way to try some new treats you wouldn’t have known about otherwise.

I just got an e-mail from Orange Glad regarding the shipping delay. I posted the e-mail, but they are resending two of the items (the cake pop and the ittybites cookies) because they are best enjoyed right away and Orange Glad wants to make sure you try them fresh. I thought that this was a great move on their part considering that the delay wasn’t even on their end!
Thr russian tea cakes were awesome! the itty bites seemed a bit stale but still good
I just got my first box today, and while I was posting about it I noticed that on the site it says it’s $19.95 a month with free shipping. My invoice says $21.95 per month, broken down like yours. Did they recently change their price?
I got my first box a couple of days ago and I went and checked. You are right, my invoice said $21.95 also. I’m curious also…did they raise price?
No. It’s been $21.95. The subscription starts at $19.95/month. If you do a 6-month prepaid it works out to be $19.95/month. But if you do month-to-month it’s $21.95.
I went and looked just to be sure. The site says it “starts” at $19.95/month. If you do a 6-month subscription (and pay up-front) it works out to be $19.95/month. If you just do the month-to-month option (that’s what I do) it’s $21.95/month.
You sold me on the chocolate bar. I am going to pick one up the next time I’m at Nordstrom.
