MissionCute Review – February 2016

Disclosure: If you make a purchase through the links posted below, I may receive a small compensation. Read the full disclosure.

MissionCute is a monthly subscription box full of cute stuff, but with a mission. Each MissionCute box comes with at least 2 items made by small-but-mighty artisans and local businesses.  Every month they also partner with a different nonprofit to help promote their mission.  50% of the net proceeds of each box are donated to the chosen (you can vote on it) monthly nonprofit (this month’s partner is Naked Heart Foundation) and MissionCute also sponsors and works on a service project each month in their community.

Disclosure: This complimentary box was sent for review purposes. As always, all opinions are my own and no compensation was received. This post does contain affiliate links.

MissionCute ships via USPS and took just a few days to arrive to me.  Boxes ship on the 15th of the month. If you subscribe before the 10th of the month you will receive that month’s box.  If you subscribe after the 10th of the month, your subscription will start the following month.

The February 2016 MissionCute partner was “Naked Heart Foundation“,  a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that every child has the two things they need for a happy, fulfilling childhood – a loving family and a safe and stimulating place to play. The box included the following items:

~Dive in Deck ($20):  The Dive in Deck features 33 cards designed to ignite & inspire deeper dialogue. I actually received a set of these from a different box earlier in the month, so I am going to gift these to a friend.They are a deeper version of ice-breaker questions and make for a great date-night activity.

~Print by MissionCute ($9): It’s fairly standard for MissionCute to include a 5×7 print in their boxes.  They are always faorly priced (99% of the time they are MissionCute exclusives) and they are usually pretty cute.

~Heart Muffin Cups by MissionCute ($6): My box was missing these, but I did some checking and it’s a set of six heart shaped silicone muffin cups all in different colors (you can check them out here).  I receive this box free for review so I didn’t contact MissionCute about sending out a replacement.  I have never heard of any customer service issues with them and I have no doubt they would happily send a missing item to subscribers.

~Rifle Paper Co. Poppy Recipe Cards ($12): These recipes cards are so gorgeous!  I like the idea of using one to attach to a plate of your favorite cookies.  I know you can look up / share recipes online, but having a written recipe from the person who you always remember making it is better.

~Gold Lace Cuff ($22): This gold cuff is gorgeous! You can gently pull it apart or squeeze it together to size it.  It’s just a gorgeous and unique piece.
All totaled I came up with a value of $69 for the February 2016 MissionCute. The box also included a little box of Sweethearts to snack on.  As usual, I thought this box was super fun and really cute.  I feel like MissionCute is a bit underrated. Or at least not discussed enough!
