A Treat of a year...

The end of the year is often a time for reflection, and 2017 has had plenty of highs and lows,
but it has definitely been a memorable year.

Now it’s drawing to a close, we thought we’d do a round-up of some of our favourite
Treatbox goodies from the past year…


Spring

March’s Treatbox brought us a Cocoa, Shea & Honey bath melt, scrumptious and soothing.
Perfect for a long bath anytime of the year, this was one of our favourites!

April showers bring May flowers, and with May comes a beautiful grey scarf with rose gold
foil feathers. The scarf is ideal for all year round, and works with almost any outfit, making it
one of the most stand-out treats this year.
Featuring one of my favourite quotes: “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land
among the stars”, May’s Treatbox included a gold plated celestial necklaces with a moon
and star charm. I think this is such a lovely message, and is very much in-keeping with the
positive messages, prints and plaques that fill Treatbox subscription boxes month after
month.


Summer

Summer had everyone feeling tropical and the cute pineapple pin that arrived in July was the perfect addition to
any summer outfit. Anything with pineapples, flamingos and watermelons gets our vote in
the summer months!

Whatever the time of year, tea and coffee is an essential part of most morning, and this was
very much the theme of the August Treatbox! The daily planner covered in tea and coffee
prints was absolutely lovely, and tea samples were the icing on the cake – perfect for getting
your day started!

Autumn

Autumn is the most beautiful season, with the leaves changing colour, Instagram grids filling
up with cosy scenes of pumpkins and the knitwear starting to come out of the wardrobe.
September’s Treatbox had a magical, charming theme which included a beautiful crochet
dreamcatcher and an adorable unicorn pin.

October gave us all the autumn feels with an autumnal print, tea lights and the cutest
copper fairy lights which are ideal for making your home cosy all your round –
and are great for getting into the festive season which is right around the corner…

Winter

One of the loveliest things about the festive season is curling up with a blanket, a good book
and a mug of hot chocolate and mince pies. With a recipe for mince pies and mulled wine,
hot chocolate powder (complete with marshmallows) and a cute pair of cosy socks,
Treatbox was able to help with all the ingredients you need for the most wonderful time of
the year!

The Gift Of Giving


At this time of year, when we're all obsessing over Christmas trees, panic shopping, and buying chocolate in dangerous amounts; it can be easy to overlook the greatest joy of this time of year. The simple act of gifting something with something that you know they'll love, is simple and beautiful and one to really treasure.

Whether it's reminding your Mum she's still your hero with a personalised treat, or giving a friend a little laugh over a novelty gift; getting someone a present this year doesn't have to be hard work or as worrying as we sometimes make it out to be.

All year round we deal with birthday wishes over Facebook, cards sent too late, being too busy to catch up with old friends, not having enough money for a night out like the old days, looking after kids and not getting a moment to ourselves.

So why not make Christmas the one time of year to truly treasure the special moments we get with our favourite people?


Take the time to help your Mum cook Christmas dinner (or do it for her and let her put her feet up!), tell Dad how great he's looking, or send a card to that friend who lives so far away, telling them how much you miss them.

Behind The Scenes: Meet The Maker Of Treatbox


For those of you who already love subscription boxes; you'll understand that feeling of pure joy when a new box arrives at your door, full of wonder and surprise. But what about the brains behind the box? What about the creator who brings it all to life, packs every box, sends it off into the world full of special care and consideration? We often don't think about that too much.

That's probably due to a lot of subscription boxes being made by huge, rich companies; keen to flog another product and keep you hooked on their brand. But there are some special small biz gems out there, like Treatbox.

Treatbox is a monthly subscription box which features stationery, homeware, accessories, artwork, jewellery and SO much more! Created by the lovely Zoe, determined to spread joy and happiness on the first of every month to every subscriber; Treatbox is in a league of it's own.
