Subscription Box Unboxing
Subscription Box Review
Our first glimpse inside the Universe Bound Box. This is absolutely stuffed with items!
Everything that we received in our Universe Bound, “Experience” themed box. This is everything we need to not only get our reading on but also have a great movie night!
So what is all this stuff?
Our box inserts. There’s a few bookmarks, a card that explains this subscription as well as a card that lists each of the items that we received.
These are always really helpful in knowing how to use the items in your box.
Handmade Mug by Spinning the Clay Fantastic
This mug is listed as a wood fired wine mug and we can’t get over how beautiful it is. This is probably our favorite item that we received in this (extensive) box.
Members receive one of these mugs on their sixth month with Universe Bound. We love the inside as well!
Ancient Alien Salts
The first bath item in this box (and there sure are many) is this Ancient Alien Salts. This blend of Dead Sea Salt, Himalayan Salt, Epsom Salt and baking soda are scented with their own fragrance called Purity.
Reactive Asteroid Dust
This bath bomb powder is used the same way you would a bath bomb but you just sprinkle it in! This is scented with their Victorian Clockwork scent.
We love the layering, isn’t it pretty?!
Candy Tin
Each package from Universe Bound comes with a tin of delicious candies. It’s typically a mix of Espresso Candy and Werther’s! We received 10 pieces in total.
Amish Country Popcorn
Because the box has an experience theme there needs to be an experience, right? Right! Our experience provided is a movie night. To have a proper movie night one must have popcorn! We received this package of baby white extra small popcorn that’s old fashioned and non-gmo.
Paper Bags
We also received 2 paper bags to create our own microwave popcorn. There was also a sheet that explained a few methods to making our own popcorn.
Popcorn Bags
The cutest part about this experience are these bags to put your popcorn in! It really gives this movie night a fun flair! We received 5 bags in total.
Brown Bag
This brown bag contains 5 Madeline’s from Sugar Bowl Bakery. We’ll share these with the kids!
Handmaid’s Tale Audiobook
We’ve watched the first two seasons on Hulu and are eagerly anticipating the 3 season in June. So you can imagine how stoked we are to have gotten this audio book. We aren’t sure when we’ll listen to it since it isn’t exactly kid friendly but we’re sure we’ll fit it in!
Hidden Figures DVD
Another movie we’ve wanted to see! This is the true story of a group of African America mathematicians at NASA who helped fuel some of America’s greatest achievements.
Dread Nation
One of our two books for the month, this is a zombie movie that takes place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in historical times. This sounds like an interesting blend of social issues and scary zombies!
Jane our protagonist sounds pretty cool!
The Calculating Stars
Our second book for the month is LOOSELY connected to Hidden Figures and follows a group of women after a meteorite falls on Earth and calls for an accelerated effort to colonize space. This title also sounds really cool.
Both books in this box take place in the past (but include fictional events) but both seem so different and like great works of fiction.
Medusa Soap
Then we have another bath item, this Medusa Soap doubles as a loofah and soap.
These are really nice and make skin so soft and smooth and this one smells great!
Asteroid Bath Bomb
Next up we have this cool Asteroid Bath Bomb. It’s only fitting that with a book like the Calculating Stars we’d receive a mini asteroid.
This bath bomb is scented with Universe Bound’s Adruqu and is also peppered with tea!
Sample Fragrances
We also received 3 sample fragrances that Universe Bound uses in their bath products. We got, Adruqu, Serenity and Purity.
Stephens Gourmet Hot Cocoa
Next, we have another treat item for our experience night. This tube contains milk chocolate cocoa to enjoy with your popcorn!
Wood Wick Candle
We love wood wick candles and this one is scented with Universe Bound’s own Serenity Scent. The color is also really pretty!
Queen Ginger Tea
The final item in our Universe Bound Box is this tea that contains both Chinese Puerh Tea and Ginger to give you a warm blend with an earthy flavor.
This looks really pretty!
So in summary
Presentation: Everything arrived to us perfectly in our Universe Bound Box
Quality: We love this subscription and think they do a really great job of incorporating handmade items into a book box which makes this very unique!
Curation: This “Experience” themed selection is amazing. This is by far the best box we’ve received from them and think everything came together perfectly!
