I love subscription boxes. They are my thing! I love getting a surprise box curated to you each month. Who doesn't? There are so many different ones out there. There is something for everyone. I recently was introduced to Vellabox which is a candle subscription box.

Every month they send you quality, small-batch, toxin-free, hand-poured candles. Vellabox has 3 different levels of subscription that recently changed names: the Lucerna (formerly Standard), the Ignis (formerly Aficionado), and the Vivere (formerly Luxe). I received the Vivere to review. The Vivere is $30 a month and includes an 8oz and 4oz candle with about 75 hours of burn time plus one surprise gift and always free shipping.

Do you like creating a special gift? I love giving gift baskets. I like to personalize them. My favorite thing to put in gift baskets is quality extra virgin olive oil.

Extra Virgin is the absolute highest grade for olive oil. EVOO is extracted from fresh olives using a mechanical process without the use of excessive heat or any form of additives or solvents. EVOO has to have less than .8% free acidity, produced by the first pressing of the olive fruit. Kasandrinos International offers only the finest, freshest Greek organic extra virgin olive oil.
