The Beach People Linen Napkins, set of 4 - Retail Value $45.00
Oh, these are fancy lady napkins. I am not a fancy lady, but I do enjoy pretending to be one especially when I have company over. I really, really love linen. My favorite sheets are linen! It only gets better looking with age and wear, much like leather, or Idris Elba. While 4 napkins are likely not enough to set an entire table most of the time, I do like keeping beautiful textiles on hand to wrap up warm bread or drape over hot dishes to keep them nice and warm. On a purely sentimental note, my Nana has a similar (although much, much older!) set of linen napkin that belonged to her grandmother. I like that I have a smaller set now for myself.

The Beach People Linen Coasters, set of 4 - Retail Value $29.00 (currently on sale for $14.50)
These French linen coasters were a nice complement to the napkins above. I love that delicate blue stripe! There is something very minimal about these coasters that would work really well in my home, and especially on my coffee table. They are rustic, but still refined, textured, but simple. They were also designed in a layered sort of finish that should absorb all the errant liquids and protect my furniture.

Sea Salt Caramel Sauce by Mouth Party, 12 oz- Retail Value $9.50
I freaking ADORE caramel, and add in some sea salt? Irresistible. I had plans to actually use this sauce with something exciting, like brownies, or an apple crumble, but the second I tasted it I knew it wouldn't last that long. After you leave it in the fridge overnight it thickens into something perfect to enjoy with just a spoon! The mix of sweet and salty is pure heaven, and this caramel is so smooth. Between Will and I, this didn't last very long, even when we enjoyed one spoonful at a time.

Sea Salt Spa Soap by Belham & Co, 4 oz - Retail Value $8.00
We love handmade bar soap in my home, and this has the most amazing salty fragrance. It was named well because it does smell like something that would be used in a very upscale seaside spa. It lathers up beautifully and is very fragrant even in the shower. It has purifying sea salt blended with shea and coconut oil for a super cleansing but still moisturizing finish.

Jack & Ginger Moonstone Bracelet
Isn't the combo of gold and moonstone so pretty? I love the twinkle that is contained in these faceted beads. The bracelet is also 14k gold filled which is why the metal has such a rich luster. I really like how delicate this piece is and the lovely irregularities of the stones. Each one is just a little different, making them feel very natural and special.

Oyster Candles from the Oyster Candle Co - Retail Value $20.00
Wow, this is a first! I have never, ever, gotten anything even remotely close to these candles in any box. This trio of candles all sits in oyster shells recycled from Charleston, SC restaurants. Each has a thoughtfully-glued rope base for safety and stability, and they are all scented with a fruity champagne fragrance. I am so ticked at how well these fit the overall beachy, ocean theme of this box, and really impressed they included something I have never seen before.

Moroccan Wedding Basket
WOW. I was beyond excited when I first saw this inside the puter box. I am a basket enthusiast and I have an ever-growing collection from shopping on my own and from subscription boxes. This is by far the most exquisite one I now own. At around 10 inches across and 13 inches tall, it is also substantial. It would be perfect for collecting your knitting projects, holding a fiddle leaf fig, or just being displayed alone so its beauty and craftsmanship can be appreciated. I have seen slightly similar baskets before, but they always felt flimsy and cheap. The inside is a strong braided jute material that extends to the base, giving this basket extra sturdiness.
Verdict: I was pretty impressed with my first Saltwater & Sand box. It certainly felt like a luxury box and I was taken by the variety of well-curated products. Between the linen, seashells, and woven basket, I felt like all of these items totally belonged in an expensive beach home or bed and breakfast. The soap, bracelet, and caramel were all wonderful additions as well, and came together with the rest to make a very well-rounded and cohesive ocean-inspired experience. This is certainly not an inexpensive box, but if you are looking for a quarterly luxury splurge that will take your mindset straight to the sea, this is one you should absolutely try. The quality of the included items seems well worth the cost!
