Therefore, when I first heard about Out Of The Box Sampler, I knew that it was the perfect way to get a taste of some of the best-of-the-best handmade sites without having to scour the web to find them myself.

I don't think our mail has ever smelled so good! After unwrapping our beautifully packaged Out Of The Box Sampler, I felt like a kid in a candy store ready to rip it open and dig inside. As Big Sister E and I pulled out each gorgeous candle or tasty snack or bar of soap, I kept taking more and more deep breaths to fully enjoy the delicious aromas.
Filled to the brim each month with samples from at least 15 - 17 different businesses, Out Of The Box Sampler is an ingenious way to try a large selection of products in a variety of categories to discover which ones you will like. In the March Sampler Box, we were treated to a multitude of votives, soap bars, tarts, bath bombs, cards, caramels and SO many more handcrafted goodies!

After we finally had all of the items laid out, Big Sister E's eyes were frozen on the popcorn balls from Silly Sophia's Snacks, an adorable Etsy shop that I otherwise would probably have never discovered. As Out Of The Box Sampler makes sure that any food items are always fresh when the boxes are sent out, these tasty treats were as scrumptious as if they had

As well as all of the unique and handmade samples that we found in our Out Of The Box Sampler, there were other generous surprises as well. Included with the list of contributors and shops involved, many of the businesses included a coupon code for a discount for future shopping at their store. What a great way to try out so many online retailers, select your favorites and then be able to go back and get a deal buying more.
And that's not all. Out Of The Box Sampler loves to add surprises in their boxes as well, so you never know if you'll find a raffle ticket, discount on your next box or more. I kept my eyes open for a winning gold coin in our March Box, but unfortunately, didn't find one. There's always next time!
Thanks to the generosity of Out Of The Box Sampler, one person will get to experience Christmas in April when they discover all of the samples from a multitude of wonderful companies, because...
One lucky person will win an April Box from Out Of The Box Sampler!
