My Cotton Bunny February 2014

HERE WE GO. I am finally writing a post about My Cotton Bunny. My Cotton Bunny is a Time of the Month Box (TOM Box). Let me say this, TOM boxes are a WONDERFUL idea. I can't tell you how much I am in love with the idea. However, out of all my subscriptions, this is the one that I just can't wrap my head around cost wise. Normally, My Cotton Bunny is $16/month, there are some promo codes that float around occasionally and if you use someone's name at checkout-the "referrer" and the "referee" are supposed to get 20% of their order refunded back to them.

When I signed up for My Cotton Bunny, I had a promotional code for 20% off my order. I could have signed up for a monthly subscription but I would've only gotten the discount on one box and I wanted to give them a fair shot and judge the subscription over several months. I signed up for the quarterly subscription-which means I was billed for three months at one time. A quarterly subscription to My Cotton Bunny is $45.60 which averages out to $15.20/box. As I mentioned, I had a promotional code so I paid $36.48. This gave my boxes an average cost of $12.16/box

February is my second box so I will get one more. With the average cost of each box I have been completely satisfied with what I have received. Here's what I got in February:

I really like the bracelet in the top right. There were several colors sent out. I actually saw some very similar ones advertised though a "deal" site the other day. There is no brand or price attached to the one I received so I will use the price I saw for them in my price breakdown. 

The necklace was low quality. It's a heart-one side is a set gem and the other side is silver with love on it. I was not impressed. The gem looks like it is coming out and when I contacted the company, they said that all the necklaces were set like that-I doubt it but it wasn't worth picking a fight over. There was also no brand or price attached to this necklace but I'm sure it would bring the total up to at least $16-so you'd be breaking even if you had paid for this box.

The snack crackers are Back to Nature Crispy Wheat crackers. They are reminiscent of Wheat Thins. I am a fan of Wheat Thins so I did like these.

Who doesn't love Nutella? I wish there was more!

The Galleon Tea was a flavor called "Tart Berries". This tea was composed of dried berries and smelled delicious. I didn't even want to drink it because it smelled so good. I did drink it and it was also delicious, I didn't even need to add honey! There was no price associated with one lonely tea bag but definitely a high quality tea. 

I like a diverse supply. You can get the same box of supplies every month but I like to switch it up. This month, I chose a box of Tampax Radiant Super. My Cotton Bunny does not open any boxes. There are other TOM boxes but with My Cotton Bunny you can rest assured that no packaging was tampered with. 

There is also an option for a bonus as long as you complete the previous month's challenge (in my experience,  the challenges are through different social media platforms). I did the challenge on Instagram for January but no extra bonus. I contacted My Cotton Bunny and they said it would be included in my next box. We will see. However, if it is then the value of the box would go up!

Here's what I estimate the box to be worth:

Bracelet	$7.00
Galleon Tea	$1.00
Back to Nature Crackers	$0.45
Nutella	$0.50
Tampax Radiant	$4.00
Heart Necklace	$3.05
TOTAL:	$16.00

What do you think? Would this box be worth it to you? It's so convenient and a package in the mail is always a pick-me-up! Would this make you (or someone you know) smile during that time of the month? My March box will be my last box but I did try something new as an alternative to a TOM box. Make sure you follow so you know how to get started on your own personalized, cost-efficient TOM box!

XOXO,
