Sweet Reads Box Review and Giveaway. Experience a book on a whole new level with snacks and drinks that were hand selected to go with the month’s novel.
Have you heard of Sweet Reads Box yet?? Because if you haven’t, you definitely need to check them out.
I am currently on March Break right now, so this box came at the perfect time. One of the only times in the school year where I can sit down, relax, and read a good book.
But a good book isn’t the only thing you get in this subscription box. You get all of the goodies to get you in the mood and atmosphere of the book. So let’s check out what is inside!
Here are the details of the Sweet Reads Subscription box. Your purchasing options are:
- 1 box for $54.99
- 3 boxes for $149.97 ($49.99 per box)
- 6 boxes for $287.94 ($47.99 per box)
In each box, you can expect:
- A novel: I love reading random novels that I would have otherwise not picked up. It will be chosen from a top bestseller list (Globe and Mail, NY Times, etc) so you know it will be a good choice!
- A drink: to set the mood. Because who sits down to read a book without a good drink?
- A sweet treat: to enjoy while reading. And as you all know, I am all for the sweet treats.
- An item connected to novel’s storyline/theme/setting: which really sets the mood for the book.
- A card explaining the choice of novel and how the items connect: in case you can’t figure it out for yourself. It makes it all the more fun to see how carefully the people at Sweet Reads Box curated these boxes for your pleasure!
So let’s see what is in the March box. This is the box that the generous people at Sweet Reads Box set aside for one of you to win for the giveaway!
Lilian Boxfish Takes a Walk (Hardcover: $24 on Amazon.ca, Paperback: $21 on Indigo.ca)
Super excited to read this book. It is set in the 80s, which is great, because I love books set in a time before I was born. I love seeing how people lived back then. And with a rating of 3.85 stars on goodreads.com, you can bet that it is a good book!
And now for the goodies that came along with the book. Some drinks and treats to get you excited for and in the mood to read the book.
Not that I really need to be persuaded to read this book. But drinks and sweet treats definitely help.
“Me” Time Mojito Magic Formula ($15 for 3 at WaltonWoodFarm.com)
This actually came at a really good time for me. Not only did I run out of my lip balm that I have been using all winter, but I really needed the reminder to take some “me time”. It smells so good, and I love the shape! It is oval shaped instead of circular, so it doesn’t look that clunky when you fit it in your pocket.
Naked Teas Galore Organic Cosmopolitan ($7.35 on NakedTeasGalore.com)
Whenever I curl up with a good book, I will always grab a cup of tea to go with it. This tea was lovely! It was fruity and light, while still having a good overall green tea flavour. Would definitely recommend!
Good Measure Whisky Recipe Glass ($28.04 on amazon.ca)
This one is the true gem. This is an obvious essential for March Break. Making drinks and enjoying them with friends and family is definitely happening now. This is a great quality glass, and it also beautiful to look at. Definitely something I will be using more when when summer rolls around.
Kawartha Lakes Company Cookies and Cream Fudge ($4 in store, can’t buy online 😢)
This fudge was gone within minutes. This is actually my new favourite fudge, and I am so sad that I can’t buy it online!! But maybe it is a good thing I can’t buy it online, because then I would be buying it weekly, I am sure. One of the best fudges I have ever tried, and will look it up if I am ever in the area.
Sweet Reads Box Tote Bag (custom tote bag for $9.95 from zazzle.com)
Super handy. I actually lost my go-to shopping tote bag the very same day that I got this package. Talk about coincidence! This comes in handy when I go shopping, or when I need to lug a whole bunch of tests to and from school. Will be well used at this house.
How does it add up?
If we look at all of the individual costs of these items, you would be spending around $75.34. That is:
- $20.35 more than the month to month plan
- $25.35 more than the 3 months subscription plan
- $27.35 more than the 6 months subscription plan
You definitely are getting a great deal on all of these products. Plus, they get shipped right to your door. No hassle in going out an buying them!
Now for your chance to win a box of your own.
The generous people over at Sweet Reads Box set aside one of the March boxes for one lucky Canadian. Just enter in the Rafflecopter form below. And good luck!
