It’s time to Reveal the contents of the April 2017 Treatbox.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This month is the start of Spring<\/strong> and I associate a lot with this time of year. Blossom trees are opening and birds and singing as they raise their young. Lambs are running about in the fields and what seems like a billion chocolate eggs line the shelves in supermarkets.<\/p>\n

Arriving in the new plastic packaging once again I could see star sequins escaping from my box as I began to do my video reveal<\/strong> and unboxing<\/strong>. (See Video Here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I was met with the usual pretty tissue paper, this time a delightful midnight blue<\/strong> shade. Stars<\/strong> were everywhere and the April<\/strong> Print calendar was sat upon the paper with a sticker that read ‘All it takes is faith, trust and a little Pixie Dust<\/strong>‘. I recall in my memory that this was a Disney<\/strong> quote from Peter Pan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Inside the box I found a variety of items and most of which celebrated a ‘Fairy’ related theme. Now I saw what the Peter Pan<\/strong> sticker meant, Fairy this and Fairy<\/strong> that! The cookie biscuit inside also quotes Peter Pan too! There was also an overall theme of blue in the box as well.<\/p>\n

What stood out most for me was the sign and the pin. The cookie looks delicious and I will enjoy that for elevenses over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The admission ticket (view my reveal video) that was supplied with the Scent Circus<\/strong> wax melt, I believe is a ticket you can use towards purchasing a box of melts from them. Check out their website for more products (link at the end).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is the full list of 9 items<\/strong> available, and remember there are always variations in the type and the colours, so that everyone gets a slightly different combination inside their box\u2026<\/p>\n

Calendar Print for\u00a0April with Rose detail
\n‘Live Like There’s No Midnight’ \u00a0Blue Font Print<\/strong>
\n‘You’re the Fairest of them All’ Compact Mirror
\nFairy Shaped Wax Melt by Scent Circus ‘Pixie Dust’ Smell<\/strong>
\nRainbow Pin with Quote ‘If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It’<\/strong>
\nBlank Pages Book – Cover reads ‘Once Upon A Time’ and the back reads ‘The End’ In Quotes<\/strong>
\nWooden ‘Fairy Garden’ Sign in Teal<\/strong>
\nTrinket Dish – Blue – Quote ‘I Love You Fairy Much!’<\/strong>
\nCookie Biscuit (Vanilla) which has the Disney Peter Pan Quote ‘Second Star on the Right, & Straight on till Morning’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are more detailed images of all the items contained\u00a0within my box.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"My favourite items<\/strong> in this April\u00a0Treatbox<\/strong> are the Pin<\/strong> and the Book<\/strong>. Both of these items are unusual and both are my kind of things. They are pieces I could see myself wearing and using.<\/p>\n

The Fairy Sign<\/strong> is sweet too and I love the colour. It will no doubt be used one day, perhaps if I can make a nice pot in the garden with a house to pretend there were actually fairies dwelling there. It’s more of a piece for creative and imaginative customers, or perhaps those with small children who are full of imagination.<\/p>\n

I have to be honest<\/strong> about this box now though, because I was slightly disappointed<\/strong> to see some very similar items<\/strong> inside. By similar I just mean variations<\/strong> on ones in recent previous ones. I already have several compact mirrors from Treatbox, and although this one is just as lovely, I really didn’t need another one. Also the trinket dish, I have already received two in recent Treat boxes, and I have no use for a third. Finally we have yet another wax melt, and sadly with an asthmatic husband and two cats, they are not something that I can use in my home. I have a box of them from previous boxes that just go to making my wardrobe smell nice. I would hope we would have one month where we don’t get a candle or a wax related product and receive something completely different.<\/p>\n

A great deal of this box will unfortunately for me, be re-gifted or given away, which I have found to be a real shame. So far in over a year of boxes I have wanted to have kept the majority of things for myself.<\/p>\n

The box itself is really well thought out<\/strong>, the running theme<\/strong> of the fairies<\/strong> and the Disney quotes<\/strong> aspects are both wonderful, and any fan of these two elements will no doubt praise its contents. However I cannot help but see the duplication<\/strong> in pieces, just with different colours and quotes on, and I was really hoping for something a little different.<\/p>\n

Because it became Spring<\/strong> this month in the UK I would have loved to have seen a Spring scarf, or a false flower that we could put in our hair or in a vase. Don’t get me wrong, this has been a nice box, but for me it just isn’t up to the usual standard of items inside.<\/p>\n

I understand that not everyone will agree with me, and that’s fine, because at the end of the day I am here writing my honest and open review<\/strong> on this box. After having some boxes that I have truly adored, this one for me, just didn’t live up to that expectation. It hasn’t put me off from receiving next months box, however I think I will be reevaluating in the summer just how much longer I will be purchasing.<\/p>\n

I do love receiving and reviewing<\/strong> these boxes because so much thought is given to them, and I respect how much effort goes into producing<\/strong> them too. They are always well presented and well distributed<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n

But if the contents become very similar I don’t want to be purchasing a box that gives me the same thing every month or two months in rolling duplication’s. I really hope I will be more impressed by the May Treatbox, and you will have to come back to my blog that first week in May to find out my thoughts.<\/p>\n
