I'm pleased to announce that there is a newcomer that is so fabulous and unique it's going to blow your mind! I'm very proud to be bringing this product to you first and I believe it's going to go global! Remember, you heard it here first!
So, What is it?
Boxcit is a city in a box! Or in other words a box filled with iconic things from a specific city! Yup! Genius!
This product is in it's very first edition, featuring the creators home city of Liverpool! Then it's going to take you on a tour of Britain and maybe (hopefully) even further afield!
How does it work?
It's very simple! You go to www.boxcit.com and select FIVE of the items you'd like to recieve from the list! Boxcit then package it all up for you and deliver it with FREE delivery! You can buy this for yourself or send it to a friend or family member as a gift! So cool!
The beauty of this is that YOU choose your items! It's not like the beauty box subscriptions where they just send you surprises and then you get the bitter disappointment when there's nothing good in there!(glossybox flashbacks!) You've picked it yourself and believe me you'll be spoilt for choice from the wide variety of options! There really is something for everyone! Also this is NOT a subscription service, you buy the ones you want, you can buy a one off or you can order every month so you are not tied into anything! It's simply pick & pay!
I got a boxcit to review so let's go!
The lovely guys at boxcit sent me out a sample box for review - I was honestly blown away by it and it's contents! It's much, much bigger in size than a Glossybox or Birchbox and it's white with Boxcit branding on it and a purple bow.
Upon opening I found this abundance of goodies!
So, what was in the box?
1. A technic Eyebrow palette! Perfect for creating the famous 'Scouse Brow'
2. A 'learn Yourself Scouse' phrase book perfect for any visitor to Liverpool who will undoubtedly struggle with the local accent and slang! It's an hilarious read!
3. A 'superlambannana' keyring! Yep! You read it right that was not some weird typo that's an actual thing in Liverpool! The superlambanannas are famous sculptures of lamb-banana hybrids! Theyre scattered around the city, each brightly painted and fabulously weird! They're unique...I'll say no more!
4. Liverpool football club official sweets. Fizzy cola bottles! Yumm! (Don't worry there IS an Everton mint alternative for those of you who are blues!)
5. A brown box containing tickets for TWO for a guided sightseeing tour of Liverpools famous & historic landmarks! Believe me that's worth the cost of the £19.99 box alone!
6. A pouch of Scouse. Scouse, for those of you who aren't from Liverpool is a stew made of beef, potatoes, carrots and onions! It's delicious and it's Liverpools very own dish!
7. A purple wheelie bin storage caddy. 'Yes I've wheelie bin to Liverpool' is the genius slogan printed on the front!
The purple wheelie bin is something that every single home in Liverpool has! The purple colour was chosen because Blue and Red mixed together makes purple and Liverpool play in Red and Everton play in Blue! Cleverly neutral to both sets of football fans! Liverpool council are clearly legends!
8. Bitter: food, drink, travel & lifestyle magazine. A brilliant magazine filled with local knowledge!
Summary.
Boxcit is excellent! It would be a perfect gift for anyone who wants to give something to that person who has everything! Also for those who live away from home and want a slice of what they miss most! Ex patriots and servicemen and women who are away with the military, students at university and even people who are still in their city but want some local treats!
I'd send this as a gift to friends I have overseas to enable me to show them some of the things we have where I live! The list goes on!
I just can't wait to see what's in the next city's box (Manchester) and then the ones that follow that!
Five stars from me! *****
