MyEduCrate kindly sent me a subscription box for review purposes.

My box contained:

1 Human Light Bulb (valued around $5)

1 Thomas Edison Biography (valued for $6)

1 Monthly Challenge "Make A Circuit Board" with all the supplies needed to complete (valued around $10 to $15)

1 Monthly Mind Bending Puzzle "Wire Teasers" (valued around $10 to $15)

1 Pencil (valued around $1)

1 Brain Eraser (valued around $1)

Total value= around $33 to $43 plus the cost of shipping which is included to make the value around $40 to $50.

The verdict...

What a fantastic box! As a mother that is always encouraging my children to get off of the electronics and to engage in something more educational and stimulating for the mind, I thoroughly enjoy this box and everything it stands for.

The shipping is fast and shipped just as stated. I was happy that they include a shipping notification and tracking so you can see exactly where your box is at all times. The customer service was great and helpful. They respond quickly as well. The value of this box is right on the money once you include the cost of shipping.

My kids (and myself) highly recommend this box to other kids (and parents).

My oldest son was super excited about the wire teasers and has mastered them which gave him quite a sense of accomplishment.

We read the Biography on Thomas Edison together as a family and loved it.

It was wonderful to see my kids eager to try the human light bulb and to see them running around trying to build up enough static electricity to make it work!

Finally, the Monthly Challenge was so great to stimulate my children's minds and to spend some quality family time together to work on it. What a great educational activity to complete. Thanks, MyEduCrate!

Toy Den Nerds February EXCLUSIVE Sneak Peek + FULL REVIEW

Toy Den Nerds is an awesome new subscription box that is ran by an adorable couple who loves all things nerd related. They started off with a live streaming show opening Funko Mini Blind boxes and showing off their collection of Walking Dead and other action figures in their collection. As they started to get viewers they decided to start selling off their collection to them. They decided instead of going into the world of EBay they would make subscription boxes of exclusive pops and other items from their collection that are brand new. So they have now moved on to partnering with some amazing talent to bring you a monthly subscription box.

The truly special thing about them is that in every box they are featuring an independent comic book artist/writer or full comic book.  Their hope is to get these comic books signed as well. They want these boxes to bring the independent/unheard-of people into the spotlight and let the world see these talented people being introduced into the world. They are fully committed to bringing these boxes to the masses and getting the smaller named comic book artists and writers into the main stream and get them some great exposure.

They also still stream live on Friday nights at 8pm MT on YouTube with some hilarious shows.

Their subscription box is $30 a month plus $8.50 shipping. You can contact them for international orders.

Each box is to contain:

- Funko Pop HOT TOPIC EXCLUSIVE

- Funko Mini From Their Personal Collection

- Unopened Action Figure From Their Personal Collection

- Signed Comic from their Featured Talent

- Tee shirt (Don't Forget To Give Them Your Shirt Size)

- Other Fun Items

- An Autographed Picture of Them

Toy Den Nerds is so wonderful that they are donating 10% of February 2016's and March 2016's sales to Make-A-Wish Foundation!

Toy Den Nerds kindly sent me a box to give you all an EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEK and for review purposes.

My box contained:

1 signed copy of Powerverse Issue 1 Robo1 Defender Of Earth (comic itself valued at $4 but with the autograph it makes it worth more so I'll value this at $20)

1 Spiderman Tshirt (around $15)

1 Beetlejuice Funko mini figurine (valued around $6 - $10)

1 Hot Topic Exclusive Funko Pop Mystery (Superman) (around $16)

1 the BiG BANG THEORY bracelet (around $5)

1 Transformers 2 series Collectible figurine (around $4)

1 mini Mr. Potato Head as Hulk (around $14)

1 Star Wars Episode 1 Collection 1 Battle Droid figurine (around $12)

1 Jurassic World slap band (around $6)

1 Minions air freshener (around $5)

Total value= around $107!!!

The verdict...

This is one of my favorite subscription boxes I've received! I love that it comes from a home based company with 2 really cool people. Geek/Nerd boxes are the best! They are a huge hit in my home as we LOVE all things geek, nerd, and pop culture related.

The shipping was quick and I really enjoy that they wrapped the box in a recyclable brown paper so it was just like unwrapping a gift. The value is outstanding and truly one of the best I've ever gotten. With the $30 price tag i received over $100 worth of products! Joseph's customer service was fantastic. It showed how much he loves and believes in what he does and I greatly appreciate that.

My favorite item was actually the Funko Beetlejuice mini as Beetlejuice has been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl!

I also love getting T-shirts in boxes so this was a hit as well.

My kids argued over almost every item in the box which means it was a win for sure! There wasn't one thing in this box that we didn't thoroughly enjoy and love.

I was a little disappointed that I didn't receive my autographed picture of them as I really like them and would loved to have added it to my collection.

I also would love to see a little work on their website. It seems a little plain as of now and not a whole lot of information.

Overall, I highly recommend this box! As a company starting out they know what they are doing. If you love geek/nerd boxes and products then you must subscribe to this box! You're going to love it! Plus you can't forget that they are so generous and are giving back by donating portion of sales to Make-A-Wish Foundation which is the icing on the cake.

Graze Subscription Box FULL REVIEW + Coupon for FREE Box

Graze subscription box "shows off the tasty side of health and is delivered directly to you."

"From pure fruit, to wholesome treats and dips & dippers – their huge variety (100 snacks with millions of graze box combinations) means there's always something different to try so you’ll never be left standing at the vending machine feeling glum again!"

Graze is a "big advocate of portion controlled packaging which means that when you're feeling peckish you have just the right amount to make for a satisfying snack and you're not tempted to put your hand in the cookie jar."

Graze offers so many options to sign up!

Each 8 snack box costs just $11.99 including delivery.

Specialty 4 snack boxes, when available, cost just $6.99, including delivery.

Each sharing box, containing 5 sharing bags (about 20 servings), costs $25, including delivery.

In some instances shipping charges of up to $2.00 may apply.

"For 8 snack variety boxes and sampler boxes, the team in the graze kitchen pick your snacks based on your ratings ensuring you always receive the food you like. When you first sign up, everything in their range will be marked as 'try', so it's really important that you go through their range and let them know what you 'like' or 'love', and 'trash' anything you don't want to receive. On the sharing box page, you’ll be able to create a list of the snacks you’d like in your box. You’ll need to add a minimum of 10 (but as many as you like) and they’ll choose 5 from that list to send in each box. If there are some snacks you’re really looking forward to receiving, you can ‘star’ them and they’ll do their best to prioritize these in every box."

Currently, graze boxes can only be shipped to US addresses, including P.O. Boxes, within the 50 states.

"They've designed variety boxes (8 individual snacks) so that they will fit in most standard mailboxes, but they know this can vary. Their sharing box, containing 5 sharing bags, is also delivered by USPS and no signature is required, but the sharing box will not fit in a mailbox due to its larger size (24cm x 17cm x 17cm)."

"You will be signed up to receive regular deliveries when you sign up. You can change the frequency after you sign up on your orders page. They currently offer the option to receive a graze box either once a week or once every two weeks."

"Graze is not suitable for people with allergies. Their snacks are packed in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, soybeans (soya), egg and fish, as well as sesame and sulfites. In addition to this, cross-contamination between any of their ingredients is possible."

Graze kindly sent me a box for review purposes.

My 8 snack variety box contained:

1 lemon drizzle flapjack

1 twist of black pepper popcorn

1 Thai sweet chili bites

1 chocolate pretzel dipper

1 vitamin C crush

1 salted fudge and peanut cookie

1 booster seeds

1 sour cream and garlic crostini

Total value guesstimated around $25

The verdict...

Where do I even begin?! We LOVE this box so. Graze truly has something for everyone.  You can clearly tell how much time and energy they spend choosing the most perfect items for their box. Everything in each pack goes together perfectly to make the best combinations and flavors.

The sauce in the Thai sweet chili bites goes wonderfully with the bites they give you to dip. The sour cream and garlic flavoring on the crostinis works so well and are one of my favorite items. The chocolate with the pretzels is like Nutella! Yummm! And those lemon drizzle flapjacks... My goodness! Those alone are worth the box. I cannot even describe how amazingly mouthwatering these are. Imagine the best lemon cake in the world and then times it by 100. Yep, THAT GOOD! They were our favorite item for sure.

The only item we wouldn't get again was the vitamin C crush. It was amazing in flavor but they were extremely chewy. So much so that every single person in my house had to spit it out because it was too chewy. Just because it wasn't for us doesn't mean you won't love it though!

The shipping it right on time. The value is without a doubt worth what you pay and plenty more. Finally Graze's customer service is worth talking about. They are so fantastic and do everything in their power to treat every customer like a friend or family!

The Purple Carrot kindly sent me a box for review purposes.

My box contained:

1 meal kit for Aloo Paratha with Mustard Seed-Scented Eggplant (8 oz Yukon Gold potatoes, 8 oz eggplant, fresh ginger, 1 lemon, 1 tsp curry powder, 1 onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 can diced tomatoes, fresh mint, fresh cilantro, 2 whole wheat tortillas, and 1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds)

1 meal kit for Chilaquiles with Edamame Guacamole and Pickled Carrots (1 onion, 2 garlic cloves, 1 can crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp ground chipotle, 1/2 cup cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds, 12 oz carrots, 3/4 cup edamame, 1 lime, 1 avocado, 1 scallion, fresh cilantro, and 6 oz tortilla chips)

1 meal kit for Whole Wheat Fusilli with Mushrooms, Fennel, and Pecans (8 oz cremini mushrooms, 1 fennel bulb, 8 oz whole wheat fusilli, fresh parsley, fresh tarragon, and 6 tablespoons roasted pecans)

Total value = guesstimated around $80 to $90 with shipping cost

The Verdict...

I LOVE this box. The shipping is super fast. Kevin's customer service was superb. The value is wonderful for what you receive. If you add the price of what these products would cost you in the store, the price of shipping, and the value of your time for not having to go grocery shopping plus the cost of gas that would make this box extremely higher in value than what you pay for it. The products are so fresh and positively scrumptious. All the ingredients are vibrant in color and are without a doubt the best you can find.

The Whole Wheat Fusilli with Mushrooms, Fennel, and Pecans was my favorite which wasn't surprise as mushrooms are one of my favorite things in the world. I wasn't really sure if I'd care for the fennel as it has a black licorice flavor which I do not care for but it actually all went very well together.

The Chilaquiles with Edamame Guacamole and Pickled Carrots was wonderful. I was a little disappointed at first because this recipe required you to have a food processor and mine had recently broke so it didn't seem quite accessible for everyone to make. Fortunately I ran to my father's house and grabbed his and was able to make it because it was yummy. I love vinegar  (I can drink it from the bottle) and I believe the tang from the vinegar  ("pickled carrots") really made this recipe.

The Aloo Paratha with Mustard Seed-Scented Eggplant was definitely something different than what I would normally eat. I decided to venture out and give it a try anyways. I am happy I did. The potato filled tortilla reminded me of a perogie and was mouthwatering good. The eggplant "salsa" mixture complimented it well. I did omit the ginger as I had a bad aversion to ginger during my last pregnancy and unfortunately I still can't stomach it. I believe it still tasted fantastic regardless.

Wineawesomeness Subscription Box Full Review + Coupon for FREE Wine

Wineawesomeness is an AWESOME subscription box that is so much more than your regular wine club.

Their website states, "Every month, our thirsty somms and journey junkies dream up  a wine-fueled adventure and send it straight to your door. Explore the wine world without palate quizzes, gimmicks or limits."

"Our curatorial team (led by a Food & Wine Somm of the Year) combs the globe to find the coolest, craveworthiest wines. This is vino you don't see everyday, but will want to drink everyday."

"At Wine Awesomeness we love a good deal as much as we love hot wings and vinho verde. We’re so confident in the value of our product that we’ll give you a free year of wine if you can recreate our box for less. Good luck!"

"Come with us and drink to discover."

Every month you get to choose which wine box you'd like to receive. Each box contains 3 bottles of wine. You can choose between:

All Red 3
$45/month
3 unique wines, nothin' but red!

Variety 3 (most popular)
$45/month
A mix of red and white with a chance of rosé or bubbly.

All White 3
$45/month
Three different whites with a chance of rosé or bubbly.

You can also get 6 bottles a month for even more of a discount.

Variety 6
$75/month
A mix of red and white with a chance of rosé or bubbly.

Wineawesomeness kindly sent me a box for review purposes.

After speaking with Eric, who was absolutely wonderful to correspond with, he promptly shipped me a box. I received it within a few days and it came in a huge Blue Box with a handle that made it so easy to carry. A signature was required at delivery to ensure only recipients 21 and over received this box which was fabulous.

My box contained:

1 bottle of 2014 Boatman Red Blend (retails for around $13)

1 bottle of 2013 Pellegrini Chardonnay (retails for around $22)

1 bottle of 2013 Rickshaw Cabernet Sauvignon (retails for around $19)

Total value = around $54

Boatman Red Blend wine is deep purple in color. The nose is fragrant with ripe plum, vibrant and juicy black cherries, a pinch of earth and plenty of pomegranate. The palate is generous with ample texture and weight. Best paired with Maple Glazed Salmon.

Pellegrini Chardonnay is bright straw in color. Fresh aromas and flavors of Bartlett pear, Gala apple, hazelnut, hay, nougat, marzipan and lemon zest. A rich mouth feel extends into a long finish. Enjoy this style of Chardonnay with appetizers, or with simply prepared unadorned seafood. Best paired with Pan-Seared Sea Scallops.

Rickshaw Cabernet Sauvignon has a slight rustic and graphite red tilt to it. Cedar and cherry come together nicely in this complex but equally versatile wine. Enjoy this with steak or fish. Best paired with BBQ Turkey Sliders.

The Verdict...

This box is a huge hit for wine lovers or beginners both.  The shipping is super fast and secure. The customer service is what amazing companies are made of. The packaging is awesome and definitely one of the coolest boxes I've seen. The value is worth every penny and is worth more than you pay. The wine is delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed each one and love that you can choose the kind of wine that you know you would enjoy the most. One of my favorite items in this box is The Backlabel book they send along with your wine. It contains information on each wine and a recipe for each one as well to pair your wine with. I am always in the kitchen and cooking is one of my passions so this earned infinite points in my book. 

I highly recommend this subscription box. It's definitely not your typical wine club as they are so much more than that. 

Subscribe today and get a FREE box on me. Yes, I said FREE wine! All you have to pay is shipping. How awesome is that? It's WINEAWESOME!
