No spoilers yet. Here is the blurb from the Kloverbox website.

Kloverbox and My Subscription Addiction joined together to bring you a Limited Edition Summer Box - The Beach House Box! Inspired by a beach house vacation, this box features natural beauty brands and coastal living essentials. This one-time purchase will ship early June to the US only.

Time to start guessing! Liz stated that the items are usable even if one does not own a beach house. Kelly & Liz, please don't stress. Half the fun is guessing!

I'm guessing there will be 5-7 items with a total retail amount between $150-$200.  I don't have a lot of ideas for the theme so my guesses are limited and random.

1. enV Bags - They have beach themed reusable bags. The totes can hold up to 40 lbs and are water resistant.  I don't think I ever seen them in sub boxes.

2. enV Bags  - They also have a beach themed outdoor pillow case which would go nice with an outdoor pillow. Outdoor pillows can also be used indoors.

3. Coolibar Blanket or a different item - It has SPF in their items. I don't know if they meet KB's standard for vendors and have not seen that brand in sub boxes.

4. A blanket/beach towel/hand towel/tea towel - I don't think turkish cotton because it has already been done by PopSugar and Causebox.

5. An item from Beach Organics - They are certified USDA Organic, Certified Vegan, and Cruelty Free ( I think certified because it has the bunny emblem). They offer shampoo, deodorant, sunscreen, repellant etc.  I think it fits in well, but i never seen them in a box before.

6. A type of sunscreen - Going off what I received in the EWG SunSafety Box that is also in sub boxes -SunIntegrity, Goddess Garden Organics, Juice Beauty, or Honest Company. The good thing is that we will know it blends in because Liz looks for that in sunscreen. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Other things I  think of when I hear the theme are sea shells, windchimes, blue and white decor,  and a beach tote. Maybe someone else will have more ideas. I didn't purchase it for the theme. I purchased it because I'm certain I will like most, if not all, the items because it is being offered by KB and MSA.

Edited to add : Maybe a Balance Guru product!

I passed on this one as well (too many purchases lately) but the theme sounds fun!

 
I like your ideas @@PA Anna!

I was thinking/hoping there might be a non-sticky Chapstick or lip gloss with sunscreen, but with just got that in the May box, so I'm thinking probably not!

My guesses/wish list are:

An Eco-friendly waterproof watch, like something from Sprout watches: http://www.sproutwatches.com/white-tyvek-confetti-crystal-watch

A sun hat with Spf (maybe Mott50?)

Sunscreen and/or bug spray

Bracelet or anklet - I like the sea glass idea, but anything sparkly http://www.ourgreenhouse.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=plb-hope&Click=18030&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=shoppingengine&gclid=CLaR2MW_7sUCFQaLaQodKCMAyw

Salt water taffy

And a small waterproof bag to keep things like your phone safe at the beach or pool

I'm really hoping no bronzer. And I'm guessing we may get a tote, but I hope not personally because I've just gotten about three! Maybe if it was something larger like a weekender bag!

For the value, I'm hoping it's over $200, minimum, because I feel like the more successful boxes have at least double the value. That gives buyers a chance to dislike/not use/have allergies to, at least one item (it's low odds that everyone will love everything), and then account for the fact that you can buy just about everything with a 20% off coupon now-a-days... That means that you get a better deal buying the box than if you were just to pick out the items you like and buy them with coupons. Hope that makes sense!

Anyway, I have been really happy with the quality of the goods Kelly has sent out in KB in the past, and I think Liz knows what makes up a good special edition box, so I am really looking forward to getting this!

(Oh, and I think there will be something decorative in the box.... Wind chime maybe?)

Liz posted that Kelly should have the packing materials early next week!

@@biancardi I love the idea of sea glass jewelry.

@@Reija It's been crazy lately with so many one time boxes available for purchase. It's hard to pick and choose.

@@Miccarty2 I forgot about Mott50! I can see them being in the box. I like the bracelet that you linked. I can see Kloverbox/MSA  being able to put in $200.00 worth of value. I don't want to get my hopes up.

 
@@Sherr mentioned the spoiler in the regular thread.

MSA posted a spoiler for the BeachBox. It is the One Love Organics Vitamin C Body Polish! It looks great. Also the box will ship 2 day priority by the 18th!

I am going to add one more guess - TATCHA blotting papers. I know it isn't the correct name. I received them in a Sample Society Mystery Warehouse sale last year and love them.

Thanks for the mention … I hadn't realized there was a thread just for this special collaboration box.

 
Here's an update for anyone that might have missed it. I wonder what the creative solution looks like? Items wrapped in a towel or a blanket? Items arranged artistically in a bag? I hope my box arrives on Monday because I will be busy at the farm Tuesday. Either way I can't wait! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I also need to follow-up with Kelly on something. I am going to wait until the two boxes ship. I can't imagine how busy she is right now with both boxes shipping back to back.

Just a quick update and apology - we had an issue come up with the label printer, and getting all the items to fit in the box (we came up with a creative solution you'll see soon), so labels should print tonight and boxes will be out Saturday the latest.

Kloverbox + MSA


ETA: I have a tracking number that says label created!

Thanks for the spoilers!  It seems like the value is definitely there - these aren't cheap items.  I'm not super excited about anything, but there also isn't anything I immediately feel I'd want to swap.  Hmmm - I hope when I get mine, I'll love it!

 
I'm not a blogger and live in a house with bad lighting. Bear with me when it comes to the photos. I'm very happy with the box. I'm posting  a couple pictures here and then will do a follow-up with more photos.

Looks like a value of $218 - not bad!  The tote bag is listed as $110, but you can buy it online for $18!?  So I used $18 for that value.

 
Thanks for the spoilers @@PA Anna! I had to look, as I wasn't wild about the scrub spoiler, so I wanted to give myself time to adjust expectations before I opened the box tonight.

I do think the value is there, and I can use all the products, even if there isn't anything in there that I'm super excited about. I wonder what the tote color variations are? I can always use a tote, and I'm thinking the pillow might actually match the chair cushions on my deck, so if it does, I'll be pleased.

I think this box might be one of those that I like a lot more after I've had a chance to use all the products a little.

 
There are a lot of pictures. Click on the spoiler tag to see them. I didn't want to cause problems with those looking on mobile etc. eating up gigabytes.

First look at the box. The card on top is the information card. I did not take a picture of the inside because it has codes.

IMG_0486.JPG

Second look at the box.

IMG_0487.JPG

Thursday Friday - Gold Toe Tote in Antler. There are 3 variations, but the variations are not listed on the card. We will find out soon enough when others posts. It has studs on the bottom, a gold turn catch closure, made out of canvas with a nylon lining, and has pockets on the insides. I love the color.  This will be used a lot over the summer.

IMG_0488.JPG

Here is the pillow vacuumed sealed! Clever. What happens when it is opened?

IMG_0489.JPG

Voila! A pillow made exclusive for the box by Olio Studo. It is an Aqua Stripe Pillow. I took the picture right after removing it from the bag. I am looking at the pillow right now and it is fully inflated. Another item that will be used a lot.

IMG_0490.JPG

One Love Organics Vitamin C Body Polish 6 oz - I opened the seal just a tiny bit so I could take a whiff of the scent. It smells like summer. :)

IMG_0493.JPG

Hand in Hand - Sea Salt Liquid Hand Soap 12 oz. Never fear, the pump is in the box. Be sure to look for it if you missed it.  It has a nice pleasant scent which reminds me of my childhood vacations when I close my eyes. I am putting this in the bathroom.

IMG_0494.JPG

GoldFaden MD- SunVisor 2.7 oz. I peaked at the card before opening the box  to see what was the first item listed  and the word SunVisor caught my eye. This is a little different than what I pictured. It's great for under or over makeup. I tried this on my arm. It is a spray and comes out as a white foam/liquid that you rub in. No scent. I'll be using this later today.

IMG_0499.JPG

TATCHA - Enriching Renewal Cream travel size. Do not be fooled by this small size. This little cream is $38.00; full size is $185.00. I love TATCHA especially their :luv: hand cream :luv: . I've used this travel size cream before and loved it. I'm happy to see it in the box and am very happy to see a TATCHA code.

The card has great codes if you want to order more products. I know I will be using my TATCHA code to order more :luv: hand cream :luv: .There are also a couple of information cards about the companies in the box.













 
Quick question- did the hand soap ship with a pump or is it a refill type situation? 

Edit never mind, I see it! Thanks so much for the pictures!!

The box looks good! Nothing insanely exciting but extremely usable. I think my biggest disappointment is the lack of swap fodder. There is just nothing I can justify swapping since I use or was thinking of buying every one of those things. I've been hemming and hawing about buying a new work tote and here it is!
