September Saviours!

Let's Make It A September To Remember

Hello everyone!

We can't quite believe that it's September already! Where has the year gone? We must admit, we are looking forward to the cosier nights, onesies and hot chocolates to warm the cockles. As a little pre-requisite to Autumn and all its lovely shades of gold, orange and yellow, our September box subtly alludes to this magical season so put your feet up, get comfy and get your pamper ON!

Unique Subscription Box


First-up, we have the ultimate hand and foot nutritional soak masks - which one will you receive? They are inspired by Korean innovation and skincare technology all of which is encapsulated in the most potent way to make your hands a feet baby-soft! We went 50/50 so it'll be a great surprise when your TreatBox arrives! These amazing products by Vitamasques are just the most indulgent blend of shea butter and green tea with added Peaches & Honey for the hands and Apple & Mint for the feet! What a delicious and almost edible blend of scents! RRP £5.95

Foot MaskHand Mask



So, picture the scene - your hands (or feet) are soaking-up all the goodness of the mask and you're just about to give your face a treat too! We are so pleased to be featuring this oh-so soft Magic Make-up Remover by AfterSpa Beauty - it's like you've takein the spa home with you! Your very own luxury facial in the comfort of your own home. RRP £5.50

After Spa Magic Cloth


We have been swooning (lots) recently over the softest grey palettes, sumptuous throws and anything that is basically snuggle-inducing! So, in-keeping with this theme, we have created our very own, customised 'Get Cosy' cushion cover that will add a bit of chic to any home! We love seeing our creations come to life and this special design is simply gorgeous! RRP £7.95

Stay Cosy Pillowcase




In the spirit of all-things cosy, we have the most fragrantly aromatic wax melt to infuse your home to create the perfect place to unwind. This Baked Apple flavour smells as good as it looks and the pretty silver leaf print is so gorgeous! This totally makes us think about cozy nights in,  (more) hot chocolate and keeping warm and snuggly! (Link to candle website) RRP £1.60

Autumn Wax Melt


You've probably heard on the grapevine that we love a cuppa here at TreatBox HQ! We love discovering new blends so imagine our joy when we came across 'Womankind' by Pukka. It's a delicate mix of cranberry, rose and sweet vanilla. The most beautiful arrangement of flavour notes to make you feel calm and to relax your body and mind. RRP £2.99 Box 20 Sachets

Pukka Womankind tea


It's edible treat time!!! At less than 140 calories per bag, Popcorn Shed's gourmet, gluten-free 'Pop 'n' Choc' creation ticks every single indulgent (yet healthy) treat box! The perfect addition to any pamper session! Somebody please take them away from me!!! Popcorn + Chocolate = Winner! RRP £1.50

Chocolate Popcorn


And last but by no means least is our print! Each month, we design and create a beautiful print that always visually encompasses our theme. Take a deep breath, Let out all the stress. You deserve to be okay. This is such a simple sentiment but hugely important. In the midst of juggling all the balls life throws at us, it can be hard sometimes to take the time to recoup and re-energise. This is your TreatBox reminder of just how special you are. RRP £4

Selfcare goodies



We hope you like this bounty of beautiful goodies. We've adored putting it together and we are so in love with the colour theme! So, feet up, popcorn in one hand and tea in the other; you're pretty-much ready to rock-and-roll.


The total RRP of this box is £26.60 so you're making a saving of £13.65! That's a whole lot of treats for your money!

How exciting, this box is available to purchase as a one off box here

Not sure what I am most impressed with 😍 anything that is pretty much a go ahead to take a nap is good for me... So the 'Stay cosy' pillowcase is perfect! 😴 🛏 There is a magic makeup remover and I am intrigued by this as never even heard of them! We also have the regular monthly calendar and print... Featuring a girl with a cup of tea... Have they been sneakily spying on me ☕ also soon as I opened the box I smelt cinnamon and wondered what it was, well they have included a Scent Circus wax melt in hot baked apple which has a cute gold leaf print design 🍁🍂🍁 Next up is the Peaches & Honey hand mask, always love a pamper! Plus a popcorn treat and 2 fruit flavoured teas. #TreatboxUK #StayCosy #PillowCase #Homeware #ScenfCircus #WaxMelt #Popcorn #Pukka #FlavouredTeas #HandMask #MagicMakeupRemover

Build Your Own Happy Mail


We've built a fair few thousand TreatBoxes over the past couple of years and with each box, we pack-in a whole lot of love. We hope that our passion for what we do is spread through our boxes - a little slice of love straight to your (or a loved-ones) door.

Support each other quote


We had a thought however - in the midst of packing all that love, we've yet to post about all the wonderful things you can create and all the fabulous additions we offer with our Build Your Own TreatBoxes.

So, I guess the first place to start is at the very beginning! Let's go over the basics! We have 3 'Build Your Own' boxes available which contain either 5, 7 or 10 items (£13.95, £16.96, £21.95). We have over 250 products to choose from and you can choose any mix of treats you like. If you want 5 x Girl Boss coasters, then you shall have 5 x Girl Boss coasters!

Girl Boss


Once you've chosen your box, it's as simple as selecting which 5, 7 or 10 items you'd like to go in to your Happy Mail. Whether it's for yourself or a loved-one, you truly are master of your TreatBox destiny and there really is something for everybody and every taste.
Thoughtful Gift Ideas

Our range of treats is ever-growing and our in-house, exclusive-to-TreatBox designs are more popular than ever. We share our new products on our social media so it's worth keeping an eye out for what's new! Did you know that many of our TreatBox designs are available to purchase individually so if for instance you'd like to buy 10 of our gorgeous pin badges, the cost would be £45.00 (or £21.95 by selecting a 10-item TreatBox). That's a huge saving of £23.05!!! How amazing is that! What a great deal! We love sharing all the savings with you guys!

When all of the items have been chosen, you have the option to 'add-on' your special personalised touch. We have a great selection of cards which we will hand-write for you and we offer a completely free gift tag which we can also personalise with your special message. All you have to do is leave your message at the add-on page and we will make it happen! This is such a beautiful way to surprise that special person in your life! It really is a Hug in a Box!

Special Cards



We also give you the option to personalise your box with a polaroid snap! Simply email us your pic of you and your partner in crime and we'll add it to your TreatBox! These have been so popular and they add that extra special personalised touch that makes TreatBox so unique.

1) Pick your box (5,7 or 10 items)
2) Choose your items

August TreatBox

"Every Summer Has A Story"

Well hello there August, how nice it is to see you! We are totally LOVING this run of gorgeous weather you are treating us to (and shhhh, we heard that it's sticking around for the whole of September, too!). Yes please with bells on and thank you very much.

August TreatBox Subscription Box


With the good old British summer time in full swing, we thought that we'd mark this most beautiful month with the most beautifully lush and vibrant TreatBox. We are jumping for joy to bring this to you and we are so in love with every treat! True to form, it's bursting with the most delicious array of goodies and we are really happy to share with you our in-house designed creations. We love to see our ideas come to life and we are sure that you will love it all as much as we do.

Botanical Lunch Box
First-up. Well, in the spirit of all things botanical, we have the most gorgeous lunch/cool bag and it is adorned with the lushest of lush tropical leaves. I mean, who doesn't love a cheese plant!?! If you love a sarnie and the sunshine, this amazing bag will keep everything cool for your perfect sunny picnic (picnic dreams really do come true). We chose this design because 90% of this product is made using recycled plastic bottles and it retails at £5.00! It's the cooler that keeps on giving!




Botanical Lunch Box
Shobu Shower Bomb
Ok, so, it's pamper time! We are loving that in each and every TreatBox, we are sharing a whole lotta love. We are passionate about sourcing and discovering new and exciting products to share with you. We are doing a little happy dance right now due to this amazing little product - it is the most perfect bathroom addition for all those of you that don't (or do) have a bath but love a bath bomb! It's a bath bomb for the shower! Yayyyyy! Hats-off to the discovery of the century! Shobu creates the most delectable range of shower products, each with their own amazing scent. Their mantra 'turn your shower into a spa' pretty much sums-up in a nutshell what these dreamy little parcels do. The ultimate indulgence to revive your senses! Retail £2.50




Anatomicals Sheet Mask
In-keeping with the pamper theme (because we do love a good pamper session and a bit of 'me' time), its another corker from our buddies at Anatomicals. Their newest kid on the block is this purifying tea tree face mask - "off with their black and white head".....It works wonders on the skin and it'll leave it feeling fresh, sparkly and squeaky clean. Tea tree has amazing, natural healing properties and it gets a huge thumbs-up from all of the TreatBox team. During these hot, sunny days, it's good to get back to basics and treat our skin to some tlc. This amazing mask retails at £2.50 so it's a whole lot of mask for your money!



No monthly TreatBox would be complete without something we've created from scratch! We are a creative bunch of TreatBoxers and we get rather excited (probably a bit too excited, in fact) when our designs leap from the page into something tangible. We can't get enough of our botanical leaf A5 notebook. It's embellished with the cutest and most vibrant greens and the sentiment is just perfect; 'Turn over a new leaf'.....This is very true and every day is an opportunity to do this. We love taking notes, jotting down plans and generally making lists so this notebook is perfect for all those stationery queens/lovers/geeks out there (us included!). Retail £4.50

Botanics Stationary


We are also totally loving our in-house designed 'Press Pause' cards. Perfect for carrying in your bag and an instant reminder that we all need to take 5 sometimes just to breathe, relax, slow down. This is so important nowadays especially when there are so many demands on our time. This bundle of 10 cards would normally retail at £6.50 and they can be popped right into your purse, or stuck on the fridge (or wherever you fancy), as a gentle nudge that it's ok to pop on the breaks now and again.



Botanical Cards


No notebook is complete without its partner in crime! It needs its own pencil, of course and as we love a quote! This darling little pencil does not disappoint! We love doodling, sketching, drawing so this duo is the perfect combo for sunny days in the garden plotting schemes and dreams! And we do love to plot our dreams! Retail £1.50

Foil print Pencil


And here it is, the staple of our monthly box! It's our in-house designed, exclusive to TreatBox, can't get anywhere else, totally unique print! It's colourful, beautiful and it'll make any home space look divine. Our A5 prints usually retail at £4.00 so it is our pleasure to be able to include it in this box! We will be framing ours and placing it on our desk (it's going to look gorgeous).
All of our botanical, tropical, summer dreams have come true with this box and we hope that yours have too!!! 


Drum rollllllll!!!!!!!!! Wait for it! Our August TreatBox contains goodies totalling £26.50! Yas!

How exciting, this box is available to purchase as a one off box here

5 Ways To Boost Self-Confidence

"Self Confidence Is The Best Outfit. Rock It And Own It."

As some of us may know through personal experience or if we have helped a loved-one through a tricky time, there are times when our self-confidence can take a bit of a knock. Remembering that this is totally normal and that is ok for us to take a dip now and again is crucial. Sunshine always follows the rain.

There are days when we boss-it, there are others when all we want to do is curl-up with a big vat of tea and a packet of Hob Nobs. We all experience the full gambit of emotions as human beings and this is actually our superpower! Learning to ride the waves of life is the trick and if we fall off the surf board,  we climb back on and keep going because at the end of the day, it's the challenges that make us grow and become stronger.

We've put together our Top 5 ways to boost self-confidence and we can vouch for the fact that repetition is paramount - making these things part of our daily routine is essential and oh-so effective.

1 - Write down 10 things you like about yourself. Ok, we found this a little bit challenging - I mean, it can feel odd to do this (at first), but it gets easier! Trust us. So, once you've got your list, try to take 10 minutes each day to write them down (again and again). By repeating these mantras, we start to believe them! Positive affirmations really do work and if you are able to pin some up around your home, even better. A visual reminder of how awesome you are!



2 - Take time out for a pamper session. This can be done at home - you don't necessarily need to go to a salon for a bit of tlc. And of course, an at-home sesh is totally free! We're currently loving our.....and we love to unwind after a busy day and take a load off. Just a 10 minute pamper can have long-lasting effects on our general wellbeing.

3 - Reach Out! Asking your best bud for advice or guidance can do us the world of good. A problem shared and all that. Sometimes, we may not wan to say anything in particular, it's just nice to get a bit of friendly reassurance from our nearest and dearest and did you know that having a cuddle can significantly impact our mood and make us feel good!?! On that note, we have just launched the cutest avocado-themed print to go inside our boxes. 'Let's avo-cuddle', oh go then!



4 - Boost your mood with food! Yes, this is so integral to the health of our body as well as our mind. If we consume healthy, nutritious foods, we feel better. Fact. Don't cut everything out as this can actually be counter-productive but making sure that we nourish ourselves with lovely foods can have a far-reaching and profound effect on our mental wellbeing. A little bit of what we fancy is totes essential but everything in moderation is a great way to go. You will be sparkling from the inside, out!

5 - Get active! A simple 10 minute walk a day can be great for our health. It can boost immunity, mood and self-esteem! Woohoo!! We love an evening stroll along the seafront, there's nothing quite like taking-in the sea air and blowing away the cobwebs of the day! If you fancy listening to some tunes too, then go for it! A bit of a spring in the old step never goes amiss! 

I hope you like this Top 5 and if there's anything you think we could add or if you have a tried and tested fail-safe tip, then get in-touch! You can take a look at our Build Your Own hoary mail right here!!!

Lots and lots of love,

10 Ways to De-Stress

"Self-care needs to be included in what you are doing. It's not a privilege, it's a necessity"

It's a tough old world out there and we often talk about our brain having too many tabs open! It's a great image and it's totally true. It can sometimes feel like we have too many plates spinning or we are juggling too many balls and this is precisely when it is even more important to take some time out to de-stress.

Over the past couple of years, we have featured some beautiful products that help to calm, restore and de-stress the mind and body. We have put each one to the test (#perksofthejob) so we can vouch for how amazing they are.


Let us guide you through our Top 10 ways to de-stress - first-up, Tea! It could only be tea first, right and our lovely buddies over at Tea Huggers have created a 'chill out' tea to rival all others! It combines a gorgeous mix of strawberry, basil and chamomile. Chamomile can help to reduce stress and anxiety as well as promoting better sleep. We give this tea a huge thumbs-up and here's to a gorgeous night of sleep!

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! That's the advice I've always been given. Sloughing-off the day in a really gentle way can work wonders! Your skin will be sparkling and it'll revive your body, too! A good bit of body-brushing also never goes amiss! So, run a hot bath, take a soak and exfoliate with  Optiat scrub or even our Daily Concepts Scrubber. They have the most delicious-looking product range and we are totes in-love with their scrub-a-dub-dub range! So, put your best mitt forwards and scrub-away the stress of the day.


A nice, long relaxing bath can work wonders for de-stressing - it can have a really calming effect on the mind, body and spirit! A long, (not too hot) bath can help to relieve skin complaints, reduce muscular pain and help us to get a better nights sleep. We have another perfect addition to your bath ritual; our Seacret Dead Sea Mud Soap has all the skin-cleansing, mineral-rich properties to give your skin a healthy glow. It is most definitely part of our bath-time repertoire and we love it.

After a busy day, (especially with it being so hot at the moment #needtodrinkmorewater), it's a great idea to make a meal plan for the week. Allocating a chunk of time once a week to plan what's for dinner for the coming week can save both time and money. Also, being organised with meals can take a lot of stress out of your daily routine. We featured our in-house designed, exclusive to TreatBox Meal Planner in our May box and it went down a storm! There's a cute Shopping List section so you'll never run-out of all your essentials! 

We are great believers in the power of positive thought and affirmations. If you surround yourself with positivity and let the positive thoughts run free, we really can change the way we feel. This can all lead to us feeling more grounded, less stressed and more able to live our lives happily! We carry a set of affirmation cards with us (in our purse) so we have little reminders every day to make us smile. Breathe, Believe,  Smile, Calm. It couldn't be simpler! 

We are eternal note-makers/takers/jotters and at any one time, we've been known to have about 10 notebooks on the go! It's good to write things down, jot-down plans and our hopes and dreams. It can really help to focus the mind, make sense of things and help us to get organised! There's nothing better than writing a 'to-do' list and ticking things off as we accomplish them. We love a list! This can really help to calm the mind and give structure your day which when put into practice regularly can make us feel much more centred, aligned and ready for action! Oh, and did we mention that we have the most delicious array of exclusive to TreatBox notebooks? They are amazing!



Ok, so, let's get down to business. It's sweet treat time! No de-stressing pamper session would be complete without something sweet. A little bit of what you fancy now and then goes a long way in terms of de-stressing, a lovely choccy bar alongside a cuppa is the ultimate pick-me-up tag-team! We have lots of delicious treats to satiate all the choccy-lovers out there! If you're more of a 'penny' sweet (#showingouragenow), our pick-and-mix bags have literally got it all going on!


Even though it's summer, we still LOVE keeping our feet cozy. De-stressing the body and mind is all about winding-down, putting on the breaks and taking a load off. So, if you have a movie night planned or if you're having a bottle of wine with the girls, make sure that your toes are toasty! We featured some amazing Eiffel Tower socks in our July box - they are the softest socks we've ever laid our hands (feet) on! Creating a cozy, calm and quiet space is a great way to help the mind re-charge. 

Another way to promote a sense of calm and de-stress is to book in for a manicure! Or, if you don't have the time, an at-home mini-mani is a great way to de-stress. If you have a loved-one who wouldn't mind giving you a hand massage, then even better! A bit of contact whether it's a massage or a huge hug, it has been scientifically-proven that when we hug a fellow human being can increase serotonin levels (the happy stuff). Hugging, as well as laughter can heal, reduce stress and anxiety and improve our overall sense of wellbeing. Awwww, anyone fancy a hug? If you'd like to partake in the at-home mini-mani, we have the BEST cuticle oil to keep your nails and hands oh-so-soft.

Right then, now that you have de-stressed and given yourself some much-needed time out, there's only one thing left to do! Yes, that's right - it's slumber time! We reckon that after ticking all of the above off your de-stress checklist, you'll be primed and ready for the best nights' sleep EVER and we all know that a 8 hours in the land of nod (if we can get it) is the best remedy!

We hope that you like our Top 10 ways to de-stress! We would love to hear all of your hints and tips for de-stressing too so please let us know and we will most certainly try to incorporate them into our daily routines, too. 

That's it for now, a wrap, finito, we're off to bang out some ZZZZZ's.

If you want to create your own box to destress or maybe you know someone who could do with a little pick me up, you can build your own here 

Lots and lots of love,

Zoe xxx
