Fall Box Reveal!
In case you haven’t heard… I started a brand new business, since the closure of my previous company at the end of last year. What I do now is create seasonal surprise boxes of gathered goods from existing small businesses, many of which support good causes… These styled boxes are SO fun! To get the full story of how it began, you can watch the replay of my Facebook live business launch here.
If you missed the deadline to pre-order your the Fall Box or you got yours and simply want to hear more about the products inside, today’s blog post is just for you! Check out the official reveal of everything included below. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this cozy collection!
First, the inspiration…
This box was inspired by Galatians 6:9, which encourages us to "not become weary in doing good." Fall can be a busy time of year with school, sports, and endless commitments. This curated collection is meant to remind you to keep going, stay positive, and never give up. Do good. Be good. Find the good. For God promises us an abundant harvest in Heaven!
I love that the products in this box actually "do good" through supporting a female empowerment program, a fair-trade artisan collective in Thailand, a military family right here in the USA, and several other small businesses too!
Fall is my favorite, and this box reflects that. Think crisp breeze, cozy sweaters, and soup simmering on the stove. Not to mention apple cider and doughnuts, "watching" football (I mean... napping), and alllllllllllll the fall scented candles. Fall is a whole mood in and of itself. And if you're here for it like I am, then I know you’re loving everything in this box.
SOUP MIX // SOUP OF SUCCESS
Soup Of Success is an empowerment program for women dealing with difficult life situations. They are involved in classes and counseling and run a social enterprise that makes delicious, gourmet, healthy soup mixes. All proceeds from sales of Soup Of Success products are used to pay training wages for women in the program. Not only are they delicious products, but it's an amazing and life-changing opportunity for these women to build self-esteem and improve their quality of life. Inside of each box was one of their best selling soup mixes: Hearty Potato, Spicy Tortilla, Farmhouse Chicken Noodle, or Sun-dried Tomato Vegetable. I love a good cup of soup in the fall, and I sure hope you enjoy a quick + easy weeknight dinner on me! You're welcome. ;)
FIND THE GOOD MUG // WILD & PRECIOUS BOUTIQUE
Wild & Precious is a brand devoted to spreading love, cultivating confidence, and making the most of this one wild and precious life. From positive pick-me-ups to one-of-a-kind lettered designs, you can expect meaningful products that give back to a different charity each month with their Spread the Love campaign (check out their website to nominate a cause you care about). I'm so grateful I was able to partner with Opal, owner + designer, on this exclusive mug... It's the perfect size for a piping hot serving of soup or your favorite coffee drink this fall!
LEAVES SOY CANDLE // SWEET WATER DECOR
Sweet Water Decor is a motivational + inspirational brand that designs candles, matches, textiles, home decor, and more. From their humble business-in-their-basement beginning to being featured on the Today Show and Good Morning America, this company hand-pours their gluten, lead, and phthalate free candles in their Pennsylvania candle factory. All of their candles are made from high quality fragrance oil and a soy based Kosher wax. "Leaves" smells like apple cider to me... get ready for 60+ hours of delicious smelling burn time, plus the coziest glow for the perfect fall ambiance!
BOHO SCARF // RUBYZAAR
Rubyzaar is a fair-trade and women-owned brand that works with artisans, tailors, weavers & farmers from southeast Asia & east Africa. With every Rubyzaar purchase, you are helping to preserve traditional craftsmanship and sustainable manufacturing. Rubyzaar has been working with the same family-owned artisan collectives for over 20 years. This beautiful scarf was delicately woven and hand-dyed in Thailand and features a naturally fringed eyelash edge. It can be worn so many different ways (see my social media accounts for styling ideas)! Buttery soft and fabulous, not to mention this gorgeous Sage color is right on trend for fall!
LEATHER EARRINGS // KATIE RENAE DESIGNS
Katie Renae Designs is a small business run by my friend, Katie, who designs handmade leather and cork earrings. She is a Jesus-lover, military wife, and mama of three, who lives in South Carolina. We chatted for almost three hours over iced coffees this summer during one of her trips to Michigan and dreamed up these darling earrings as an exclusive just for the Fall Box! You'll love how light-weight and go-with-everything they are for fall. Fun fact: we were her largest earring order to date, and she had to order a whole “hide” in order to make all of our earrings!
YAY! This might be my favorite box so far! As you wear, use, and taste your new products, I hope you’ll share and tag me on social using #inspiredbybrookebox. I can’t wait to see which products you love the most!
