Every month, we review our favorite subscription boxes, but we also love to try new boxes! We've started a new post highlighting all the new boxes we've reviewed for the month. Here's a look at boxes new to us in April:

1. Fairy Garden Chest

Fairy Gardens have been gaining popularity in the past few years, but have history dating back to the 1890s.

2. Ollie

About this box: Ollie is a dog meal subscription service that sends out human-grade food personalized for your dog’s activity level, age, and more.

The Cost: From their site:

Price depends on the size of your dog: We calculate how much food they need based on the exact number of calories they need to consume daily, which dictates your subscription cost. A small dog starts at $3/day (that’s less than a nice cup of coffee!) Real, high-quality ingredients aren’t cheap, but we don’t deal with middlemen and distributors so we can offer you the best value. And shipping is free!

I just subscribed to Willow Lane Books and I think they changed their shipping rate. It says it’s a flat rate of 9.99 now. Looking forward to my first box. 😊

Neko box has been around for awhile and is in the MSA box directory, but hasn’t been reviewed here yet AFAIK. It seems cute but a little pricey so I would love to see a review.

I’ve been eyeing this one – https://monq.com/shop/essential-oil/set/mystery-subscription/

I’ve used MONQ before and they’re basically aromatherapy in the form of essential oil vapes. They just released a subscription service and I’m super curious what you all think of it!

I am really impressed by the creativity of all the people who think up new boxes and put them together. I’m sure that many of them are a real labor of love with not much money made on them, especially at first.
