FTC disclaimer: I received a free Butterfly Box in exchange for this post.
I never have subscribed to a subscription box, but I love to watch unboxing videos on Youtube. Life got in the way (as well as hair that I haven't had professionally cut in over a year), a bit of a reaction to my flu shot, and I didn't get an unboxing videoed.
Each box contains 5 - 6 items each month. Items go through a rigorous selection process so I am told. I am not sure exactly what that means, but each month has a particular theme. I am assuming my box was centered around the theme of prayer.
When I opened my sample box, the first thing I found was small packets of tea. Who doesn't love tea? You might wonder why tea in a Christian women's subscription box, but all their items are faith based or support Christian owned businesses. The tea is super cool! Its called Tea Drops I got white tea vanilla bean and Sweet Peppermint. They are really drops! They dissolve when you make them. How cool is that? (I would have been happy if the box was totally tea, but there was more to explore!) When I went to the website of the company that made the drops I was really surprised to see a big banner ad for teas for zodiac signs since most Christians are against astrology, but the tea was fantastic, so that's just an interesting side I discovered.
The next item was a small little bracelet called "My Prayer Bracelet: a reminder to pray for joy". it has a little butterfly on it, and the Bible verse of Romans 12:12 on the card. My first thought when I saw it was how nice it would be to give to someone who is going through a tough time as a token for them to know you are praying for them.
When I brushed away the paper crinkles to see what else was in the box, I saw it was a book. One of my issues with books is I have read so many books it is hard to find a book I haven't read when it comes to Christian women. The book was a gift edition of The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian. Not only have I read this book, but I have read it several times and even have read a number of her other "The Power of a Praying ____" books. I will be giving away this book soon here on my blog. It's nice, would make a nice gift, but it's not something new to me, as I already have this book in paperback. (This one is imitation leather with a bookmark ribbon and does contain new material, but since I have a huge backlog of books I want to read, I'm going to pass this on to someone else.)
The final item in the box was a journal. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE journals. This one is spiral bound and lays flat. (My favorite). It is hardcover, lined pages, and it says "Be Still and Know". I love notebooks and journals of all types. I've been more diligent about keeping a journal of my day to day stuff this year because I figure that since we are in the middle of a pandemic, it will be a great historic record someday. But I use journals and notebooks for all kinds of stuff. Lists, journals, keeping records of things, etc. So I was very happy with the journal (and especially so since it's the exact type I prefer.)
