Yogi Surprise Subscription Box Review – May 2015 Info

Each box comes with a card detailing each item included.

Yogi Surprise Subscription Box Review – May 2015 Necklace

Yogi Necklace with Om Pendant - Value $21

This neckalce is made with painted wooden beads on elastic string. The elastic string seemed strange to me at first since it can go over your head easily, but I like it. (Value listed comes from the info card since I can't find this item online).

Yogi Surprise Subscription Box Review – May 2015 Moon Rub

Moon Valley Organics Peppermint Foot Rub - Value $13

I'm familiar with this brand thanks to the Rejuvenating Rub that was in an earlier Yogi Suprise box, and I really like the formula. It's an easy-to-blend-in balm, and the scent is great. It's made with all organic and natural ingredients too!

Yogi Surprise Subscription Box Review – May 2015 Mist

Yoga Mind Mouth Mist - Value $18

This mouth mist doesn't have much taste to it or scent, so I'm not sure what to make of it. I think I detect a slight citrus scent though.

Yogi Surprise Subscription Box Review – May 2015 Luv

Luv Superfoods Beegan-Bites - Value $8

I have to avoid gluten and dairy in my diet, so I always look forward to Yogi Suprise snacks in boxes. (They don't gaurantee dairy-free gluten-free products, but I think so far I've been able to eat everything).

I have a sweet tooth too, so I was intrigued by these, but also worried they looked a little too healthy. They're pretty good - but after I ate one, I didn't rush to eat the other cup, so I'd give them about 3.5 stars from someone who thinks gummy bears are the most delicious food!

Yogi Surprise Subscription Box Review – May 2015 Flags

Tibetan Prayer Flag - Value $8

Is it bad that when I saw these the first thought I had was that I wanted to go back to Disney World? (Expedition Everest to be more specific).

Yogi Surprise Tea

Tea Tibet Harmony Spiced Tea - Value $5

This tea is organic and fair trade certified, plus it is a non-profit, with profits sent to help Tibetan educational projects and orphanages. And the tea smells wonderful too! It's a mix of black tea with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and black pepper!

Verdict: This box has a retail value of about $73. I think my favorite items are the foot rub and the tea, and in general I'm happy with the value of this box. The only thing I probably won't use is the mouth mist.

What do you think of the May Yogi Surprise box?

I had to laugh when I saw the prayer flags were essentially a freebie that came with the tea. (Read the tea box.) The necklace looks like plastic junk from the 99 Cent Only store. Still, I’ve basically liked this subscription so will continue for time being.

I cant decide whether to sign up for this box again, or prospurly. I like that prospurly can easily be canceled online. The items are yummier in that box, yet Yogi Surprise I’m starting to like a lot more so then initially. I wish Prospurly would be a bit cheaper monthly.

I’m having the same problem. I like prospurly, but not sure I $40 like them, hoping they get a good roll going. Yogi Surprise seems on a rise for me, with each box getting a bit better. I wish they would remember not all yogis use or want power food (gimmie some real fancy chocolate, lol). I’m 3 month in to subscription boxes and (after the initialy “I gotta try them all” thing) trying to narrow down to the ones I actually use the most.

I’m in love with this box but May in particular after the disappointment in one of the more recent boxes. I feel like I’m the only person who saw the Tibetan prayer flags and got excited. They run the flags on Everest and I’ve always wanted my own. I hung them up above my bedroom windows and my room feels a little more me. I don’t really understand the mouth spray. I never used their body mist that came a while back but was confused about the idea behind it. Moon Valley Organics is one of my favorite stores to find real balms that work. I had their rejuvenation rub as well from a previous box and have ended up buying 10+ additional boxes of muscle rub which I hand out to anyone who says they hurt. It seriously is a miracle worker as it has helped with pain better than laidacaine ointment

I am saving the prayer flags for when I move. There is a room in the basement of my new house where I will be putting my exercise equipment. But I’m also putting my yoga stuff down there and I think the flags will be nice to help create the atmosphere I want for the room.

I think the necklace is also something you can wrap around and around up your arm as a bracelet of sorts, so that would explain the elastic cording.

Ah ha! Thanks for the idea – that makes so much sense now 🙂

I also had the idea of hanging it off my rearview mirror in my car. Sometimes we need a little zen and breathing in traffic here 🙂

I got mine yesterday and I love everything in it! My partner giggled and rolled her eyes at the mouth mist (LOL!) but i have actually used it already today twice at my desk just as a refreshing face spray (my office is on the third attic floor of and it’s pretty warm up here!). And it would be even nicer if I stuck it on our office fridge. Just offering up a possibility 🙂

I am so glad that I cancelled after March! The only attractive item is the food rub and it’s so not worth the cost of the entire box!

Love mine as well, and good value for the price. Pretty sure the mouth mist is the only thing I won’t use, the candy will go to my son and DIL who are vegans.. everything else, mine mine mine LOL. Also loving the jewelry sub box this morning too.

The candy isn’t vegan — it has honey in it (hence “bee” in the name).

Missy

I know they aren’t total vegan, as they eat certain cheeses, milk and eggs. They both love honey and use it as a sweetner instead of white sugar, which they try to avoid.

Ragan

Both of mine are out for delivery. I guess I have to wait about 5 hours…
