Happy Leon Day to all!
What does that mean? To all die hard Christmas fans, this is the SIX MONTHS TO CHRISTMAS sign we celebrate in the summer, that, and Christmas in July, but that's another post!
To celebrate this year, I signed up for a Christmas subscription box called My Christmas Crate. A subscription box is a box of goodies that comes on a regular basis centered around a theme. This is a Christmas box, so all the items are Christmas related. I purchased the crate on my own, so I could see exactly what it looks like when it comes to a regular person in the mail.
When I got my first box, I was super excited. The box is decorated with Christmas things on the outside, subtle, not too gaudy, and says Celebrating Christmas Year Round on the side. I liked that! The box is sturdy and reusable and I am sure I will be using it for any swaps I participate in this year.
I liked that the box was taped once. Not 40 thousand times but once with good quality tape. Inside I was greeted with an adorable Christmas postcard that says Happy Leon Day! What a fun way to experience this box! The back of the card lists the items that the box contains and where the items come from. In my box I received:
A beautiful boxed set of cards that are handcut.
A hand poured soy candle in the Christmas Cookie scent by Fireside Candles.
A holiday flip flop ornament by Cape Shore.
A kitchen towel by Design Imports.
And a cute candy cane pen from My Christmas Crate.
I was super pleased with my first box and I will sign up to receive others. The box was about $37 including shipping. I can't say it was a bargain but I can say I was very pleased with the contents. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves Christmas and wants to experience that feeling once a month throughout the year!!
That subscription box looks so cute and very affordable! I cannot believe it's 6 months until Christmas! Time keeps flying!!!
ReplyDeleteA Christmas box? YES PLEASE! I'm always up for Christmas as it's one of my most favorite Holidays. I think it's awesome that there's a subscription like this. I'm pretty happy with what you got as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFor people who love Christmas that is the gift to get them. It had some great stuff and I loved that ornament.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing this! I am a huge Christmas person so I love reading things like this in July! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us this year :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like that box got you into the spirit of Christmas in June; what fun.
ReplyDeleteSix months to Christmas is so freaking exciting! I can't wait to get a real tree and enjoy that fresh smell in the house again. A Christmas subscription box sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat an 8nteresting concept. I get other monthly subscription boxesso why not! I'll check them out.
ReplyDeleteI love all the items you received in your box. It's a great idea to start getting ready for Christmas in advance.
ReplyDeleteAwwww this is way adorable. I love the box you received it looks so awesome. I would totally be into this and for $37 this is a great deal. From what I see it looks great.
ReplyDeleteUm, I love Christmas!! I need one of these boxes!! I had no idea such existed. We even celebrate Christmas in July on the 25th, with green bean casserole, ham, etc, etc! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Leon Day before! The diecut card is beautiful and the candle is adorable and sounds fun! What a fun subscription box!
ReplyDeleteThis is so incredible! That beautiful boxed set of cards which are handcut are super lovely and really perfect for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThis really puts me into the Christmas spirit! I can't wait six more months! Christmas in July sounds like a plan to me :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea for anyone who loves collecting Christmas goodies. I can't believe we are halfway through the year already. I haven't even begun to think about Xmas, except for the Christmas in July movies on Hallmark.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for those that really love Christmas. I've been trying to keep things a bit simply. With two toddlers I can have too many pretty breakables out.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute! I'm a total Christmas crazy, I love all things Christmas! My Pinterest is pretty much filled with fabulous Christmas ideas. And now I can add these to it as well
ReplyDeleteI want to get all mad about Christmas in July... but I can't! I'm a total Christmas junkie and this makes me super excited! I bet that Christmas cookie candle smells so delicious.

I didn't know what leon day meant until now but it's super exciting thinking that we're slowly on our way to the big day x
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea for the Christmas lover! We love celebrating Christmas in July at our house. We use it as a time to collect gifts for our community food pantries and kid charities. Easier than making our dollars compete with gift dollars.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I want that soy candle! I'm trying to switch ours out for soy and winter scents are my fave!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas! It's my favorite holiday of the year and I love that you're sharing about it in July! I love this little box too! It's so fun!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Christmas is my all time favourite and think this would be awesome. Talk about fun little treats. I can't wait for Christmas! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteAwe these are so cute! Christmas is my favorite time of the year! Now I want this box too!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas time! I would love to check it out, but I love it when boxes are valued at more than they cost. I'll still check it out though. Thanks for sharing.
