Snailbox April 2018 Review
Each Snailbox has a featured artist, and this month it's Becky Simpson of Chipper Things.
The contents came bundled together in cute striped twine!
USA Forever Stamps - Total Retail Value $2.00
I love it when card subscriptions include stamps! Since there are four cards this month, I got four red blue and gold star stamps to send each one off.
Thank You Stickers
I also received four round stickers that say "Thank You" and each has a unique black and white pattern. Perfect for sealing the envelopes before mailing!
Thaaaaank You Card - Retail Value $5.00
This pale pink card with a red-lipped mouth open wide to say thank you is really fun! I like the style of illustration as it reminds me of a papercraft. The inside is blank so you can explain what you're soooo thankful for and it comes with a crisp white envelope. Use one of the stickers to really hit your sentiment home.
This Cabbage Is Like You Card - Retail Value $5.00
Here we have a single cabbage in a green-hued watercolor style that states "This cabbage is like you because it has many layers and comes doctor-recommended". I like that this is a card for no real reason except to express gratitude to someone you wish to bring a little joy to. Comes with a kraft paper envelope.
Thanks For Being A Friend Card - Estimated Retail Value $5.00
Another watercolor illustration brings us a thank you card for a special friend. A person in a striped dress holds out a bouquet of flowers in appreciation and a smiley face punctuates the words "Thanks for being a friend". And now I have the theme to Golden Girls in my head. This card wasn't on their site, but since the other cards are this price, I made an educated guess.
Am I Really the #1 Mom? Card - Retail Value $5.00
You can't send out cards this time of year without including one for good ol' Mom. A not-so-simple hand-drawn flowchart guides us to figure out if our Mom is indeed #1. Spoiler alert: they all lead to yes! Perfect for a Mom who loves visual aids and creating easy ways to get to the bottom of things.
Verdict: Snailbox is an easy way to get the cards you need each month without having to go to the store and choose them or pay shipping by ordering online. I trust them to pick a great artist and curate cards that I'll love! Getting the stamps and stickers are an added bonus!
