March 2023 Treatbox Reveal and Review

Hello March 🙂

It’s my birth month! So March has a soft spot in my heart.
I do love Spring as the days get warmer and nature comes alive.

The March 2023 Treatbox landed on my doorstep on the second of March and I eagerly waited to get it open and see what treats awaited me inside. The year started off very well for TBox so I am expecting big things from this months box to keep the momentum going.

Let’s get started shall we! If you would prefer to watch my unboxing video from the other day then you can see it here on either my Instagram or my Facebook so take your pick.

What’s Inside the March Treatbox for 2023?

March Calendar Print – floral design
Treatbox Original Greetings Cards “Keep on Smiling” & “Yay it’s your birthday”
Treatbox Original A5 Print “today is a good day”
Gardners Cookies Iced Biscuit Flower Shape
Two Clipper Tea Bags Peppermint and Berry Burst
Bracelet of Rose Gold and Beads

Organic Cotton Bag “Don’t Worry Be Happy”

My Honest Thoughts About the March 2023 Box

I’m feeling somewhat underwhelmed by this box, and I can’t quite put my finger on why. It could be because Spring and Floral is an obvious choice of theme, or it could be that nothing really stood out for me this month. Yes you still have the usual Treatbox quality of print etc, but I just felt (even while doing my live unboxing video) that something was missing. Nothing made me go “Wow!” at all.

I’m glad that we have something to eat, something to drink, something to wear (bracelet) and something to keep and use (the bag). But I was a little disappointed in the other items. The “keep on smiling” greeting card has a lovely design but the birthday one I found to be less enthusiastic and a heart for a birthday? I wasn’t sure that really worked.

There were only a couple of physical items this time and the rest of them were flat or edible. I like being able to pass the love along of course, but once you’ve sent the cards and eaten and drank those bits you’re just left with a bag and a bracelet. Perhaps I’m being over critical of it this month. Perhaps because January and February were excellent boxes and this box lacks something in comparison in my honest opinion. As to what that might be I’m not sure, even if we had a third card or an A4 print instead of A5… I’m still just not sure what it is that is missing. And no not socks, we can’t have socks every box (LOL) but yeah, maybe a pen to go with the cards would have been good.

If I had to say what was best in the March box then I do like the bracelet, the Rose Gold part of it is sweet, and the Bag is both useful and Organic which I do commend. Overall it’s a nice box of treats and I will be sending on the giftable pieces to brighten up other peoples days. I look forward to enjoying the tea and biscuit this week too, and now I’m off to place my print somewhere.

Let’s hope the April box will be better than the March one and I look forward to finding out.

June 2022 Treatbox UK Reveal and Review

Hello June! Time for a new Treatbox!

As we reach half way through the year I cannot begin to wonder how fast the remainder of 2022 will go! So let us make the most of it and treat ourselves when it is within our means to do so!

What was inside the June 2022 Treatbox UK?

June 2022 Calendar Print
Treatbox Original Planner and Monthly Notepad (2+ years worth of monthly pages)
Watermelon Lip Balm 10ml Handbag Size Pot
Flower & White ~ White Chocolate and Raspberry Crumble Bar 20g
Vitamasques Nourish Multivitamin Metallic Sheet Mask 21ml
Treatbox Original Gold Keyring with Quote “No Rain, No Flowers”
Treatbox Print “be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can”
Heishi Bracelet with Gold Heart Centre (Colours at Random mine was Lilac)

My Honest Opinion for this Month

What a fabulous planner! I am all for staying on top of things like appointments and birthdays, I don’t like using my phone for everything these days as I’m trying to reduce my screen time. So using something like this Treatbox Original planner is right up my street! I love how colourful is is too!

I also really like the print this month, and the bracelet is stunning. It is lightweight and pretty against any skin tone, I received Lilac and Purple shades are some of my favourites so yay!

The Lip Balm is super summery and I have it on right now as I’m typing this out! It smells good too!

Love the fact that the Calendar Print and the Planner have the same design, colours are good!

I am looking forward to using the face mask this coming weekend on my down time self care hour and I am also going to enjoy munching the chocolate bar! White Choc and Raspberry is one of the best combinations out there, am I right?

Finally, a pretty keyring which I am going to stick on the opposite side of my handbag to the other keyring we got a few boxes ago!

Trollbeads Together Apart Rainbow Bead Review

I was lucky to have won a Trollbeads bracelet back in 2016 it came just as it was, a gorgeous and intricate twisted bracelet with unique clover lock and spacer bead. I bought a single bead for it which was a clear one, very iridescent in the light. In 2018 I was gifted an Orchid Flower bead by my Father and Step Mother which I also added to it. I love my bracelet, it is so well made with quality throughout its design.

When I had an email a couple of weeks ago from Trollbeads saying they were releasing a special bead, and it would feature Rainbow and money would be going to charity too, I knew I wanted one to add to my bracelet.

Rainbows mean a lot to me and my family, my son is a Rainbow Baby. It has become a symbol of hope during this pandemic and is now more important than ever to so many people.

Here is the beautiful Together Apart bead on my clover bracelet.

The bead features a Rainbow colours design with clouds attached to the centre sphere and outer smoothness of the bead. It is beautiful and unique looking. I’m so glad I managed to get one because they are limited edition, and the first batch sold out within a couple of hours of their launch.

It is a beautiful bead, very well made and such stunning bright colours. As you can see on my photograph above mine is extra unique as it has a single bubble in the centre too. I am happy I purchased one, it really brightens up my bracelet and I love to wear it alongside my other two beads.

Overall I am very happy I bought this bead, and I am happy I have donated to charity while having something to enjoy for my lifetime. Trollbeads UK are excellent in both quality and service, I highly recommend them. Because their glass beads are so unique you get something extra special in my opinion, they are not mass produced like some other jewellery and bead companies. And these Limited Edition ones are usually even more amazing.

So back to the charity donation part, Trollbeads are giving £4 from every bead sold, so technically the bead costs you just £36 when you minus your donation. The £4 will be donated to the Charity “NHS CHARITIES TOGETHER”. They are supporting NHS staff, the volunteers and the patients who have been impacted by COVID-19 all across the United Kingdom. If you buy a bead and accompanying bracelet for £120 they are donating £12 from that to the charity.

Click the website banner below to head on over to the Trollbeads website if you’d like to purchase one for yourself. (If they have any left! Keep an eye on their website and social media for updates as I think they were making some more).

From The Trollbeads Website – Description of the Together Apart Bead

Together Apart Bead £40

  • Weight: 1.95 g
  • Main Material: Glass

We will get through this together. 

The bead has two rainbows and two clouds.

This is a Limited Edition release. Limited Editions are rare or unique beads which are only released in very small quantities.

Each glass bead is handmade from red-hot glass over an open flame and no two glass beads are ever completely alike. This goes for size, colouration & pattern. Your bead is absolutely unique and will have slight variations from the bead pictured.
