Our City Subscription Box
Our City Subscription Box is a monthly subscription that promotes locally made products. They highlight all products made in Manitoba province and then shares with the rest of the other provinces! They have multiple subscription and gift options so you can choose the option best for you.
Their boxes highlight home decor items, beauty and body products, non-perishable food items, personal accessories and a lot more! Like all other subscription boxes, the retail value of the products exceeds the price of Box.
Currently, they have two kinds of subscription boxes. A mini one for 40$ and big box one for $80. I received their $80 November box to try and review!
The four companies highlighted this month are Fat Lye Soap Co, North Country Grains, Meg does Pottery and Spice World.
Fat Lye Soap Co
This is a local company that makes a line of natural, vegan, and palm free soaps. What I really liked about this brand is that each of them is hand poured, naturally colored and wrapped in plantable paper.
I received three of their soaps: ‘Nyx’, ‘Jardin’ and ‘Eucalyptus Spearmint’. I really liked the Nyx soap which is made up bamboo activated charcoal and Japanese peppermint essential oil and it smells awesome!
North Country Grains
This Pancake and Waffle mix is made up of Canadian buttermilk and organic whole wheat flour. This 260g packet makes up to 12 pancakes and they are delicious! It’s so easy to make and my hubby loved it!
Meg does Pottery
Oh ! I am in love with the dish soap and it’s a perfect size for the Fat Lye soaps I received. When I was looking at her makings, I got to know they made candle containers for Charleston & Harlow and I love their candles too!
Spice World
I was so happy to get a bottle of everything bagel topper and pumpkin spice from Spice World. This everything bagel topper is again one of my favorite in the box! I am not a big baker but I always try to make my hubby a few fresh bagels on Saturday mornings! And who does not like pumpkin spice right? This spice is perfect for your everyday spiced latte!
Thanks to Our City Subscription Box for sending me this gorgeous box to try ! I think this is a great box to try all the new and existing products made my small Manitoba businesses! I am also really happy to see that there are companies like Our City Subscription who decides to give all the local companies a way to get an exposure and allow other provinces to try their product!
