Vermont Snacks is a new subscription box that sends 4-6 snacks/food especially selected from Vermont. I love visiting Vermont and I was very excited to see what this box included. The subscription box is $19.00 a month and the box ships out by the 15th of the month. Vermont Snacks sent me this box to review.
The Box
The box is cute and I like the decorative tape
First Look
Information List
The information list was very detailed and decorative. Vermont Snacks gave a list of each product and the background to that product.
This is a really tasty chewy bar. It was a bit crumbly but had a really great flavor. The company was founded by a mother of a little boy with a peanut allergy. Their entire line of food is made free of peanuts and all tree nuts. As a mother of a little boy with a peanut allergy, I love what this company is doing.
The beef in this was raised without antibiotics. This is flavored with sweet molasses and spicy peppers. I hate beef jerky and similar items, but I liked this. My husband and 4 year old son also really liked this.
This is organic and natural applesauce from Vermont farmers. My boys love applesauce and they ate this right up. I wish there was more!
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for the box was $7.74. I was disappointed by the value of the box. I love the idea of the box and enjoyed the products in it. I was hoping for a few more products in the box. I hope to see more value in the future boxes and I am excited to see future boxes from this company.

The information card was very nicely done. Each information card is personalized with your name and your pet's name. They also list the products in the box. and why they chose them.
Halloween Tips
Dr Dr's also included a list of Halloween safety tips for your pet.
First Look
I loved my first look. The puppy punch out are adorable and I loved the sticker with Oliver's name on it.
Personalized Sticker
I love Oliver's name on the sticker. It was printed on!
Oliver loves feathers and loves batting at this toy. It also comes with an extra feather, when you cat eats the first one. The metal part has a screw closure. You can adjust the opening to whatever distance you want.
Oliver really likes these treats, and they don't upset his tummy. These are soft chews with USDA salmon. They also have cranberries, which help support urinary tract health. This is very important in senior male cats.
This has a light weight metal cord, instead of a clothe sting. There is also a little mouse at the end of the cord. Oliver loved this the most. He loves to jump for the toy.
Fleece Blanket
Dr Deanna O'Neil's aunt made these for customers of Dr Dr's Pet Packages. If you get a 3 month subscription or more to the Health package, you will get one free in your box. These are really soft. May Oliver will stop trying to sleep on my cover now.

Playing with the string
Oliver loved this toy. I tried to get a picture of him jumping for it, but he was too fast.
Final Thought: The total value of this box was $26.54. While this is a little lower than the $29.00 price, I like the each of the products was pricked out by a veterinarian, especially for Oliver. Knowing Oliver is getting safe items, is priceless for for me. I love the care and attention to detail, that Dr D's Pet Packages put in their boxes. I love that they personalized the information card and box sticker with Oliver's name. If you are interested in buy Dr'D's Pet Packages, go to http://drdspetpackages.com/

The Information Card
The information card has a list of each picture and retail price of all the products in the box, along with the websites.
This is packed with aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile, marshmallow and tea plan botanical extracts. These are also oil free. I love facial cleansing clothes. While I have a full nightly skincare routine, after a long day, sometimes I just use a cleansing wipe and sleep. These are perfect for a long weekend away.
I love glitter polish. I am not sure how old, is too old for glitter polish, but I don't feel I am there yet. This is a nice clear glitter and perfect for layering over a bold color.
This lip pencil is made with cocoa and shea butter. It goes on super smooth and made my lips look bigger! I normally would not spend $20.00 on a lip liner, but it is a pretty great beauty product. It even has a build in sharpener on the lid. I am always loosing my sharpeners.

Bestowed is a subscription box full of healthy snack, food and beverages. It was founded by Heather Bauer. Heather is a registered dietitian and a best selling author of two books: The Wall Street Diet (Hyperion 2008) and Bread is the Devil (St. Martin's Press 2012). I was really excited when Bestowed asked me to review their box. This month, everything in the box is 100% GMO free! You might be wondering, what is a gmo? I didn't know myself, until recently. A GMO, is a “genetically modified organism”. It is plants or animals that have had DNA from bacteria, viruses, or other plants and animals, genetically engineered into the product.

Second Look
One of the first things I noticed, was how heavy the box felt. I love heavy boxes.
Information Guide
More Details
This is my favorite information guide of all subscription boxes. It has why they love each product (a full paragraph). They also include several places to buy the products, not just their own website. Lastly, there are tips on how to use each product. There was also information about GMOs in the book.
This has 11.5 ozs! I was really surprised that the package was so big. I don't like coconut, so I expecting to hate this. It's actually not bad. My husband really likes it and he also doesn't like coconut. There are 14 grams of protein in a serving and has low sodium. Nature's Path donates the equivalent of food to a food bank across America, for every bag Love Crunch sold. They are also sponsoring GMO OMG, a documentary about a dad unearthing the truth about GMOs and what is in our food. The movie will be in select theaters in October!
Again, I judged the package before eating. I don't eat black beans, I am a picky eater. I tasted these chips and they are so good! I ate them right out of the bag and with salsa. I could eat them any way. These are also loaded with protein and omega 3's! I am buying more of these.
I haven't tried this yet, but I will. You can mix this with orange juice, a smoothie or your morning cereal. This is packed with 10 amino acids as well.
I love spicy food, so these smoky chili and lime chickpeas are an A+ in my book. These only have 150 calories and 6 grams of fat in each serving. These also come in sea salt and sweet cinnamon.
These are AMAZING! Seriously, you have to try these. These are peanut butter cups without the junk like hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, GMOs, or artificial colors and flavors. Bestowed also included a recipe to use the unreal cups to make Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies. Unfortunately, my peanut butter cups didn't make it for the recipe. They are outstanding.
This stuff is crazy good. This is an allergen friendly snack! L would really like this and I love that it doesn't have nuts. The seeds and fruit together make an amazing mix. I am going to order more of this. I love finding healthy snacks that I am willing to eat on a regular basis. Bestowed also suggested adding this to Greek yogurt or add to homemade pumpkin bread before putting it in the oven.
Bestowed mentioned that it is marathon season. I am actually a runner, although I am going from my first 5k to my first 5 mile race. Baby steps. Anyway, I was thrilled to get a product for runners. This helps replenish your body with 8 essential electrolytes. This is free from sugar and artificial ingredients. You mix a tablespoon with cold water, and you can drink this while running.
Coupons $10.00 for subscription
I love coupons. Bestowed included the following in the box:
* $1.00 off Nature's Path or Envirokids product
*Fiber Love Bar Club offer. Join and get your favorite bars delivered each month 30% off. You fourth month is free
* Free 1 year subscription to Women's Health Magazine $10.00 value
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box is $26.39. This is one of my favorite food boxes. I love the educational information that Bestowed sends. The quality of the food are top notch and I love that they include several places to buy each snack. I really felt Bestowed cares about their product, education and the health of it's subscribers. I would highly recommend trying Bestowed. You can try Bestowed for only $10.00, just use the code HELLOTEN103. This code expires 11/20. If you want to sign up, just click the picture below.
