Initial look at opening the box

I always loved this detail - what inspired them this month to pick the products for the box
First item: Flip & Tymble 24-7 Bag for shopping at the farmer's market - or any shopping trip. Value $12
What it looks like upon unfolding the bag. Yes it is super wrinkled! Too bad they didn't do a wrinkle free version.
Not sure if you can see, but the outer holder of the bag now folds to be the small inner pocket of the bag when in use. I think this is a nice detail
An additional cute detail for the bag - a little padding on the strap to keep those shoulders from hurting.
And a 20% off coupon code to order additional bags. I think this bag really is rather perfect for the farmers market. I will use it, and it is more convenient that my other grocery bags because I can always tuck this one in my purse.
The Produce candle in Rhubarb - Value $20. This is a very sweet smelling candle, and I had to include how the packaging came because for some reason I was very amused by this bubble wrap. Popsugar did a good job here to make sure the glass bottle was protected.
Inside the massive bubble wrap = the candle + 35% off additional orders.
This candle is interested because instead of a completely sealed top, like many others, this has a small breathing holes on the top. This allows the fragrance to fill the room nicely even when it is not lit. I liked how this is different and it makes the packing more memorable.
The Dabney Lee Dottie Umbrella - Value $20. The pink and blue poke dots work well together. However I now live in CA - the land of no rain - I suppose I can use this as a sun umbrella instead.
One Love Organics Gardenia + Tea Antioxidant Body Serum. Value $39. I already traded this item, I review the swap in a future post.
Potting Shed Creation Garden in a Bag Basil. Value $10. I believe you literally open the seed packet inside and add water, and grow the Basil in there. I wish this was another herb. I am not as big as a basil fan. Though basil is good to make a summer watermelon goat cheese salad.
$25 Gift Card from Mott 50. This item was listed as the "special extra" for this month. I went on the motto50.com site and found out that they don't have anything close to around $25. The closest item is a cap for $38. I hate cards like this, because if they had given me something to buy for $25, they would at least have me on their email list. When they send me enough enticing emails, I eventually go back and buy something. I am putting this in the trade pile - for free - as in if you request it from me, I will just give it to you.
The total value this month was $126, but I can't really count the $25 gift card, brining the value down for me to $101. Not one of my favorite boxes. I actually canceled Popsugar this month because I am not too excited about their last box either, however, I guess I didn't cancel in time, and had to receive this box. And with my luck - their next box is probably the really good one.
