Box Thoughts;
I really like this vendor, however the price point on this box is really high for the amount of wax received. This year she stated she would give more wax per day than she had last year, however I really didn't find that to be the case. Each day was still less than 1 ounce. It was really hard to gauge some of the scents based on the small amount received.
Each day was wrapped very nice, the bags were cute. I do with that each day was also marked on the labels. This did have a decent mix of scent types but she is better at her smoky type scents than Christmas/holiday.
I don't think I would purchase this box again next year just based on the cost vs the size of the melts received.
