I was introduced to Umba Box from Lauren Elizabeth Blog and The Small Things Blog, and have been wanting to sign up for this wonderful box ever since. I was over-the-top excited when I was contacted by Umba Box to review on of their monthly boxes. Of course, I said yes, and could not wait to see what was included.
What
is Umba Box?
Umba Box was curated because the
founders love and are passionate about handmade goods. However, they found that
it was sometimes hard to find beautiful quality handmade products. In October
2011 Umba Box was born. Umba Box is a
monthly subscription that sends out 2-3 handmade surprises, from artists who create
wonderfully made handmade jewelry, accessories, stationary, and bath products.
Cost: $25
per month

September
Umba Box
I was so excited to see this box in the mail, and I
ripped into it right away. Coming home to a box I am excited for after work, is
the best way to end a day.
This is beautifully crafted by Natasha at Natasha J.
Collection. The Half Moon necklace comes in other colors, but I received the
Patina color, which I think is beautiful.
Each item that is included in the Umba Box also includes a profile card
so you can get to know the story behind each artist. The Natasha J. Collection is really beautiful;
you can see more of her pieces on her website HERE
Fox & Anchor is a collaborated team of ladies
Chelsey and Erin, who have a love for custom letterpress, and the products they have created show it. Fox & Anchor not
only creates lovely coasters, but also some beautiful handmade cards
as well. I love this Dots and Heart card.
TICKLED PINK OPINION: I
really love handmade goods. There is just something special about receiving something
that someone has made by hand. And, as someone who loves DIY projects, I know
how much time it takes to make some of these handmade items. I really appreciate the creativity and time it
takes to make each item. The total value
of this box was about $38, and the monthly cost to subscribe to Umba Box is
$25, so the value and quality of items received in this Umba Box was
excellent. Each box that comes from Umba
Box to your doorstep each month is different, and a surprise, which makes getting a box like
this each month really exciting.
