Laura J Designs Garnet Bracelet - Value $40 (Available at Walmart for about $35 shipped)

I love delicate jewelry, so this piece is a perfect match for me. The thin band is sterling silver, and the beads are added to the bracelet with gold filled wrap. Here it is on:

June & December Kitchen Towel - Value $13

This 100% flour sack cotton towel is hand screen printed with eco-friendly, water-based inks. (It's safe to clean with bleach, too.)

I love this wintery design - I think it will be a perfect hostess gift paired with a bottle of wine!

 

Verdict: This box has a retail value of about $53. (Or $48 using the Walmart pricing of the bracelet.) I think the items included were well-made and lovely, but I wouldn't recommend this box if you are interested in a high-value box. This box cost $56 ($49+$7 shipping).

What do you think of the December Umba Delight Box?

Liz, What nail polish are you wearing in the bracelet photo? I love the color!

Thanks! I believe it is this shade from the FabFitFun Add-Ons: http://www.shopncla.com/products/volume-iv

Hope that helps!

The bracelet looks pretty & versatile. I like the mixed metal look.

Seems simpler and less risky just to surf Etsy and pick out items you know for sure that you’d like.
