Craft Beer of the Month Club, December 2013 Review

Omg! This box is HUGE news! I am in Kentucky and, like lots of states, no alcohol can be shipped here. But this one can! And I got a subscription for the hubs for Christmas! And we are super excited about it!! :)

Craft Beer of the Month sends a monthly box of 12 beers, 3 each of 4 different kinds, from small-production, independent brewers around the US. The monthly cost is $37.75 with free shipping and, if you sign up for monthly service, they send various introductory bonus gifts!

Here's first looks:

And the breakdown:

Two selections from Elysian Brewing Company, Washington: 

Loser Pale Ale

Bifrost Winter Ale

Two selections from Seirra Blanca Brewing Company, New Mexico:

Roswell Alien Amber Ale (haha)

Nut Brown

We also received several free bonus gifts for signing up! 

Bar snacks

Tasting glasses

Bottle opener

I'm not doing a cost breakdown for this box because it is definitely worth $3.14/beer for us. Craft beer is definitely more expensive than regular beer and there is value for us in the information provided and the opportunity to try things we've maybe never heard of - and the fact that we can do it without ever leaving the house!

So excited about this subscription and looking forward to seeing what they send in January!

PopSugar November Must Haves Box Review + Coupon

YAY!!! It's PopSugar time!! This box and $10/month Ipsy are my two FAVORITE subscription services out there!! If you are thinking of subscribing to a box and aren't sure where to start, I'd suggest you start with one of those two! 

PopSugar is currently still available for December but I'm sure it will sell out. PopSugar is $40/month and gets a little cheaper with longer commitment. You can use code REFER5 to save $5 on your first PopSugar box!

And, if you're a subscriber and you give a box as a gift, both you and the recipient will receive a Bauble Bar necklace! Use code HOLIDAYGIFT and hurry! It looks like that deal is only available through 11/15 morning or until supplies run out! And it looks like the $100 Special Edition Holiday Box for Him is close to selling out. Eeek!!!  

Now, on to the FUN stuff!! I had gone spoiler free again this month - such discipline! haha! - and couldn't wait to see what November's box contained!

First looks:

Lots of goodies!! 

And the breakdown! 

Bare Fruit Chips, $3 - I was organizing the pantry yesterday to put up groceries and I noticed that we have lots of bags of these in different flavors. Not sure why we aren't trying them??? I LOVE sea salt caramel so the trying will start with this bag!

The Soap & Paper Factory Pine Shea Butter Soap, $8 - This stuff smells just like a pine tree!! It would go to hubs but he just picked up lots of his fave bar soap at B&BW last weekend so I'm thinking this is going to the teacher we have that is a hiking and outdoors enthusiast!

Absolute! Nail Polish Remover Pads, $2 - Perfect timing!! I have polish remover pads on my Target list - my 7 year old has to keep them in her gymnastics bag for polish removal at meets. Mark it off the list, these are now in the bag! :)

Land's End Wine Tote,  $14.50 - Wine not included, that's one of my bottles that agreed to model! LOL! I've seen these in LE catalogs and always thought they were cute. I'll be using this one as a hostess gift for a holiday party!

Michael Stars Wrap, $42 - I went through a major phase with Michael Stars like ten years ago. Did anyone else have an obsession with the one size tees??? Anyways, this wrap is big and fab and is getting gifted for Christmas!!

Illume Nice Candle, $15 - I figured when I saw this that there must also be a "naughty" candle out there, and there is! This one smells fantastic. It's Tahitian vanilla, sugar and coconut!! Love.

Maison de Monaco Strawberry & Blackcurrant Cream Preserves, $6 - Oh... the teacher who would love the soap will love this, too! This box is so productive! LOL! :D

** Not pictured, $30 gift card to Canvaspop. 

I came up with a total value of about $120 for this box and I'm super excited about it. It is seriously like a nice present for myself each month and, this month, it's nice presents for others, too! This subscription is just ridiculously good and seems to keep getting better!! Again, if you sign up, use REFER5 to save $5 and if you would please use one of my referral links, that would be awesome! Thank you! LOVE PopSugar!!
