♥ Homespun Holidays! ♥

Finally! Christmas is coming! It feels like everyone I know has already begun dressing up their homes and picking out their Christmas trees (well before the turkey dinner)!  I, on the other hand, have been procrastinating and my Christmas decorations are still upstairs sending me bad vibes from the closet… So when my TinselBox arrived just before Thanksgiving, it gave me that little nudge to start decorating for my favorite time of year! Yay!

December 2015 – Box of Spontaneous Joy

The packaging is so gorgeous and classy. I really love the sparkly gold dots on the tissue paper. I was excited to see this presentation, since new boxes tend to either go for the gold (no pun intended) or play it conservative for the first few go-rounds.

This card is too cute!

On the reverse is the information card, which has gorgeous pictures of the items contained in both the Box of Spontaneous Joy and the Box of Cheerful Curation. (Items marked with the gift symbol are contained in the larger box only.)

Emily McDowell Christmas Card (Deck Yourself) – Value:  $4.50

This is hilarious! I love the decked out bear and am looking forward to using this card.

12′ Handmade Felt Ball Pom Pom Garland – Value:  $19.99

TinselBox handmade these felt ball garlands for all of the boxes! This garland came wrapped around a piece of cardboard and also contained a small pouch of mini green clothespins and two thumbtacks. The garland felt a little heavy and I wasn’t sure if thumbtacks could support the weight, but seeing as how I don’t have a fireplace on which to hang this, it was time to get creative!

Boom! I hung my garland over the french doors leading out to the back porch (it is too cold to go out there this time of year). I used the mini clothespins to hang holiday cards and LOVE the way it turned out! This is such a great way to display our holiday cards in the house without cluttering our shelves or usable counter space (like we usually do). LOVE this!

 

Swedish Tomte Ornament (Gray) – Value:  $7.00?

The Box of Spontaneous Joy contained one gnome ornament (colors vary), while the Cheerful Creations box had all three shown in the picture. This is the sweetest little ornament and will look great on our tree (once we get a tree….) TinselBox imported these figurines from Sweden and I think they tie in perfectly with this month’s theme. This little guy even came with a small burlap drawstring sack for easy storage after the holidays are through!

Also included were two insert cards containing beautiful pictures on the back and fun information about the Swedish tomte and pom pom garland. I love this added touch and feel these little details really tie the box together. I will be saving the tomte card to store with our ornament so we can read about the history of tomtes with Little G for years to come.

My Thoughts

December 2015 TinselBox (Spontaneous Joy) Total Value:  $31.49

I am really impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of the items contained in TinselBox’s first subscription box. Everything is handmade and fits my style perfectly. For $19.99, the Box of Spontaneous Joy is a fun, affordable way to add something extra to the holiday celebrations. I think TinselBox has a very bright (and sparkly) future ahead!

I am interested to see what will be in January’s box, since NYE is all about partying and ringing in the new year with friends and family! I plan on taking advantage of the $5 Off coupon code (HOMESPUN) and will be ordering my January box before it’s too late!
