Lucy from fair ivy recently contacted me about their surprise package subscription service, and wanted to see if I’d be interested in reviewing one of their packages. She told me, “What we do is we send our subscribers a new unique, fun surprise package every month, wrapped completely with eco-friendly and/or recyclable packaging. Our pet subscriptions, fur ivy, are all products made exclusively in the US, and the majority are eco-friendly or even made out of recycled goods.” Sounds right up my alley, right?
fair ivy caters to women, men, girls & teens and pets with their different surprise package subscription plans. You can order just one package, or subscribe to get 2, 4 or 6 months worth of packages sent to yourself or a loved one. (I’m thinking these would be great for college students or far-away friends!) There are regular size and mini package plans, depending on how many treats you’d like them to include, and when you choose to subscribe for more months, the packages are cheaper per month.
Lucy asked me which one I would be interested in, and I told her that while I do have a dog, she doesn’t really play with toys, so the fur ivy package might be wasted on me. I asked her for the regular fair ivy package – catered to women. This is what she sent me:
Everything was packaged so neat and prettily! Unwrapping each piece, one by one, let the excitement and surprise build up!
I love this hand-printed narwal card, so cute! And the pretty blue earrings have become a favorite addition to my jewelry collection. (They match my eyes!)
Even though I told her she didn’t have to, Lucy was really sweet and sent something for my dog Molly anyway, who seemed to like these natural cheese crackers. (Also, I will not lie, I tasted one myself, and made David taste one too. Even though they are made for dogs, they’re still pretty tasty from a human perspective!)
An organic cotton reusable produce bag by Oh, Little Rabbit (you can purchase one directly from the makers here) and a reusable Tea Lovers Eco-cup. That cute little blue teacup shape on the side is to wrap the string from your tea bag around. The pretty cup is porcelain with a silicone lid and sleeve.
A pink grapefruit popsicle shaped soap, by Soapylove!
Everything in the package I received was as delightful as Lucy promised it would be! And….. I thought I would SHARE the delight with you guys! Obviously I already opened the dog treats, and I claimed the earrings for myself (they DO match my eyes, after all), but I thought I would pass on the joy and do a giveaway for the rest of the goodies!
