Out of the Box Sampler Giveaway & Review

I just received my Out of the Box Sampler box in the mail on Sat and finally had time to sit down and go thru all my goodies. Wow... what an awesome box!! I am extremely pleased with the samples and companies in the November box.

Out of the Box Sampler always has the best contributors, who send in the best samples. If you haven't ordered a box before you really need to add it to your list of things to check out.

Here is a list of this months contributors, and any sale/special they are offereing as well as my review of the items I got from them. There are only 15-20 samples per box so one just never knows what they will get. How fun is that!

Intentions ~
I got the most adorable bar of soap from this company. It is a small sample size, but very festive. Scented in Winter Pear. I wasn't sure I wanted to smell it when I saw the scent, as I am not a big fan of pear scents. But, I really like it. The soap, and tag are just adorable. Great sample!!
~ 10% off order. Put OOB in comment box for discount refunded.

Souper Spices ~
I absolutely love spices and was so thrilled to get a sample from this company. And, the fact I got a Poultry Blend even made my day better because we eat alot of chicken :) I can't stop smelling this packet.. LOL! Love spices. And it came with a price list too for all they offer.
