The Spotted Box - Review & Giveaway (closed)

If you love samples and love trying a lot of things for a little price then you're going to love The Spotted Box.

Are you thinking what I was thinking when I first heard of The Spotted Box? Okay, what is it right? Well The Spotted Box is a box of family-oriented, eco-friendly goodies from independent crafters. Tons of samples are packed together and ready for you to un-pack and enjoy. What do you ask could be in there - " The Spotted Box can include samples like: Bath and body, doublers, candles, bookmarks, candy, stationery, bibs, wool food, toys, paper arts, wipes, wool wash, tarts, mama pads, dish clothes, teas, food, dog treats, gift certificates, magnets, pens, hair products, jewelry and more! Each month it changes depending on the participants." Read more about it here.

I received the September box and it was an absolute delight going through all the goodies and seeing what's available out there. So many great things that I had never heard of. I loved the gift certificates, hair products, cloth wipes and lotions the most. It seemed like it would never end - all the amazing products. I have to say too that this is more for people that are more natural, but awesome for anyone. It's such a neat idea and a great way to get your products heard of or try products before spending oodles not knowing for sure. Plus it's a great surprise to see what's all in it each month.

You can purchase a box at The Spotted Box cart; click here. They go on sell the 15th of every month. Who's appearing in the box for October, get a sneak peak here!

Win It:

The Spotted Box would like to give one Spotted Box to a Momma In Flip Flops2 reader.

~ Third entry if you write a unique blog post linking to The Spotted Box and this post.

Please leave extra entry in a separate comment or it will not count. Giveaway open to all! I will select a winner Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008. The winner will have 48 hours to respond or I have the right to pick a new winner. I do not require you to leave your e-mail as I do submit to prizey fetch, but it's very hard to contact you when there is no e-mail in your comment or profile. Winner will be submitted to prizey fetch. Good luck!
A big thanks to all the retailers of The Spotted Box for making this Giveaway possible!
