[Review] Malaysia Subscription Box: Cubecrate December Box

Price: RM35
(Given a free in exchange for an honest review by cubecrate.com) 
Verdict: 10/10
Repurchase: NA

This month's Cubecrate subscription box is expectedly Christmas-themed and it's gorgeous. I'm so in love with the theme of the month and everything that's included in the box. If you're uncertain about what Cubecrate is, it's a surprise subscription box that costs RM35 per month and includes a variety of locally sourced products ranging from beauty to decor and handmade items that you wouldn't think to try out on your own. For three months, the subscription is RM90, so it's cheaper to buy more, as is the case with most things online. :)


Disclaimer: I received this box in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own, as usual. ^^ You can also check out: 


December's Box


This month's box arrived on the 15th December, which is really early, in my opinion, but just perfect. They've packed such a beautiful, luxurious box for December that it really feels like Christmas came early! ^^ First thing's first, Cubebrate's box has a new look, which I'm totally on board with. Instead of their usual slightly oversized box, this box is much smaller and much more to scale compared to the items included in the box. That means the items aren't banging around in the box and risk getting broken during delivery. So the items are all snuggled safely inside the boxes. ^^

December's box is overflowing with goodies and the box is really jammed packed with items that are well-thought-out and Christmas themed. It's all quite lovely. 

Oishi Tea: Lemon Honey Tea

Like I mentioned, this month's box has so many goodies I'm not sure where to start, so I'll begin with what's now a monthly staple: Oishi Malaysia Green Tea. This month, I was sent honey lemon green tea, which didn't disappoint. As usual. ^^ Cubecrate is slowly turning me into an Oishi fan at this point. I watered this down though, since it is a little sweet for my buds. :) 

Cubecrate 2017 Calender Designed by Moodoodles

I love this calender so much. It's a 2017 calendar that's designed by Moodoodles. The design is simple and sweet, with the front and back covers designed with a giant fat... cat? I'm not so sure. ^^ The calender inside is nondescript though, which is a tad disappointing considering how beautiful her art is. I did a little stalking and found that Moodoodles does a bunch of beautiful Word Arts that're available for sale on her Facebook and Instagram page.

Tatoos by Taratats 

This is an interesting addition to the box. It's a temporary tattoo by Taratats. From the pamplet: "Taras is a revolutionary idea making metallic temporary tattoos the new age must have accessory." That's a bold new idea! XD The tattoo is supposed to last from 4-6 days, depending on how well you applied it and where. The instructions are easy enough and it works exactly how those cute temporary tattoos I used as a kid works, by wetting the tattoo and putting it face down on the skin for 20-30seconds. 

I'm not a paritcular big fan on the designs provided though, if only because I'm not good with coming up with cool designs, so I'm not sure what I can do with these. XD Still, it'll be fun to play with! 

Fraiche Designer Delectables Snackable Granola 

Next is a Snackablesfdd sample pack of granola choco-gingersnap, another handcrafted guilt-free snack. Fraiche Designer Delectables is a team of two sisters who use only fresh and high quality ingredients to create their snacks. I had this with milk and the ginger aroma was actually a little over-bearing for my liking. I still finished it regardless though, cause it's healthy and it's lunch. XD

Beyond Beauty Voucher & JE Botanicals Body & Room Spray

 There's a voucher for Beyond Beauty that's just an extra for me, since it's unlikely that I'll make a trip to kl just to use the voucher seeing as there's no Beyond Beauty in Kuching. 

There's actually also a tiny spray that's a Christmas themed room and body spray by J & E Botanicals that I failed to take a picture of. >< I'm sorry. It smells like how you would expect Christmas to smell like, cinnamon, spice, and everything nice. The tube's cap came loose during transit, which is more of a design flaw of the bottle. There's a little less than half of the product left by the time it got to me. On the plus side, the entire package smells delightful!

 Candle Nuts By Nadia

This month's candle by CandleNuts by Nadia is such an improvement from last month's box, where we saw a tiny candle (here). They boasts to be the first handpoured candle in Malaysia that uses palm wax as their wax source. True to it's claims, there was much less soot produced with this candle compared to the other candles I've tried. 

The candle doesn't seemed to be named, but it smells sweet and mildly fruity. Maybe it's candy-cane? :) The last candle from her  that I used, while tiny, managed to keep my house smelling delightful for hours after. 

 Stick Wit Me Sticker

There's also a Stickwitme Christmas Wreath sticker that can be used to personalize bags and accessories. It's leather and designed to adhere permanently, so I'll have to be certain where I want this forever. 

Glitter Angel Chrismas Ornament

Last but not least is a glitter angel christmas ornament from cubecrate, which is so glittery it's making everything it touches shimmer. Honestly, the glitter goes everywhere, so do be careful with this. XD 

Overall Impression

As you can probably tell, I'm incredibly pleased by this month's box, not just because there were so many items in the box, but because it's so Christmas-y. Everything seemed to be well-thought out instead of just a bunch of items thrown together. My favorite item is probably the calendar by @moodoodles. It's such a beautiful, practicle, and useful item.

In terms of getting your money's worth, this month is definitely worth RM35. This month's box definitely deserves a 10 out of 10.
