Hi everyone welcome to my channel my name is Noelle and I review an unbox subscription boxes here on my channel and today I am very excited because I have one of the boxes from our neighbors of north of course it is the hutch sisters Brown paperwork packages which

Has been sent to me for review I honestly I do get shipping notifications but I really never know when this box is going to arrive on my doorstep but I’m always very very excited when it does so here is what the box looks like this time around so they just have that ort

Of tied up with string design uh stamped on there this box is $59.99 Canadian which right now that’s about $45 us the shipping to the us cuz thank goodness they ship to the US right and obviously they sent this to me for a review the shipping to the US is $1,550 Canadian

Which is around $10 to12 and the shipping within Canada is just $850 Canadian so not too bad especially when you consider the love and care that they put into this box every other month because it is a bonly box so I believe this is their December January box I

Usually get the box towards the end of their shipping cycle so that they make sure that they get all of the boxes out to their subscribers um but wait until you see how they package it so I did pre-core it but this is one of those

Boxes that’s just a little bit snug so forgive me while I try to open it up got it but look at how they have decorated it so tied up with string they put some sparkly felt on the top to look like icicles I just think that is so crazy

Cool right I mean it’s not like something that I’m going to use necessarily but it just gives me that idea that someone really took the time to decorate my box to make it feel like an experience I’m just going to pull the tissue paper off and and then you guys

Can see everything else so here is my sparkly felt that I could use I don’t mind that it’s like crossing over the new year because as some of you know you’re finally getting the Stow you’re like now it really feels like winter like we got through the holidays no snow

And now I’m like drowning in snow so here is what some of the goodies look like a lot of them are individually wrapped to go along with the theme which I think just makes it so special and I say it every time but I’m going to say

It again just because it might be the first time you’re seeing this box on the channel but essentially uh I think it’d be a great box to just save for rainy days when you need a little pickme up and um just keep those wrapped individually and go ahead and go into

Your little Treasure Trove and open them up enjoy I think that would be a really fun thing to do so I do have a discount code for you to shop in the store so this is not for the subscription box but you can use Noel 10 in the store and get

Some of these items and others for 10% off so here is our little pamplet that tells us everything oh this is really cool so the hutch Sisters by the way are a family run gift shop proudly showcasing canadian-made and owned products we attempt to use as many recyclable items as possible and

Encourage you to enjoy reuse and recycle the hutch sisters thank you for your purchase and wish you good health and happiness cheers and then they have the awards that they have won and right on top they have the nobody Awards which is the awards that we do here on the

Channel we did it last year for the second time and that time they actually won two Awards and I think there’s only like 12 or 13 categories they won best Canadian box which is pretty impressive as well as best customer service they also won for a year of boxes which is a

Great Canadian sort of um directory I guess I’m not sure if she’s is going to continue with the unboxing videos but in terms of a directory it’s great and they won best Hidden Gem last year so inside it tells me that the theme for this particular box for December and January is Vanilla

Ice am I dating myself yes I am um bundle up and indulge in the season with wintry designs and warm Aromas our next theme which starts shipping on February 1st which is just around the corner is uh Midnight Express I like that cuz I like a lot of black so inside this is

What it looks like for a few of their favorite things they tell us all about the items as well as the retail values there’s usually an included free gift it looks like we have wow you guys as usual we have nine items if you include the free gift which is pretty darn

Impressive but we better get started one of the items on the bottom looks like it’s got its own box but I’m going to start with this one which this one is not so much of a surprise so if you were like thinking okay I’ll keep my my items

Wrapped up uh but I want to open something now this would be the item to open up so we have oh it’s sparkly do you guys see all those Sparkles so it’s one of those nice headbands it’s the black ice headband warm and cozy this chunky knit headband keeps ears warm

With a fashionable Sparkle it is from a local Canadian distributor and has a value of $9 Canadian so if you don’t want the bling of course you could just do seams side up I don’t feel like anybody would notice but if you want a little Sparkle in the snow so that you

Are glistening as well you can do that I like that the background of it or the band itself is a nice neutral cream color and then it’s a little little hint of Sparkle which is kind of nice all right here is one of our first wrapped items with a little

Snowflake to make us feel special let’s see what else we’ve got in here sometimes it takes me a little while to open things up so I have to kind of like go at a Quick Clip but then I’m always like nervous that I’m not going to get through it all right you

Guys this is ooh this is from patchology and we actually got three sets of eye masks which you guys know I love as a little pickme up a way to wake up for the day so this is what this looks like it says about these serve chilled ey

Gels it says say hello to a refreshed and radiant look with these cooling eye gels made with nourishing ingredients these masks are the perfect pampering treat at the end of a long Frosty day they are from a local Canadian distributor and they have a value of $12

So basically a value of $4 for each set um I I do really love these things they they’re so great I don’t necessarily feel like they change the way like my around my eye area looks but they just feel good they’re a nice nourishing treat all right isn’t it fun the

Packaging they do and a lot of it is really reusable for your own gifting which I think is great um I still think my favorite one that they did was was like the picnic one where everything kind of looked like food had things um packaged so here we have some tissue

Paper so there was still a little element of mystery ooh we got a jewelry piece we almost always get some fun fashion jewelry in this box which I do appreciate this one is lovely though it’s a little snowflake necklace which I’ve been wearing some snowflake earrings especially around the holidays

Even though we don’t get snow here in San Diego um up in the mountains yes but I got so many um I got so many compliments I think I might have to add this to my winter wear this is beautiful this is the snowflake neck it says

Embrace the beauty of the season with the sparkling accessory not only beautiful snowflakes symbolize uniqueness and individuality the Box includes either the classic or the modern design I don’t know if I have the classic or the modern design it has a value of $18 I’m guessing this is the

Classic design it doesn’t necessarily look super modern to me but you guys let me know especially if you’re a subscriber let me know which uh snowflake variation you got but look how cute that is I love that I love that and it goes with the theme

All right we have some of course from Gourmet du vage because they always include some fun things from Gourmet vage we have uh some vanilla hot cocoa so it says these luxurious drinks are the perfect treat on a Wint day the ultimate comfort in a cup at a shop of

Chocolate lur for a tummy warming cocktail hour made in Canada uh value of $5 Canadian so we have a vanilla chai m mhm and we have a french vanilla or vanil Fran so I’m always happy to have these and I always love they always have a suggestion for how to uh adult

Beverage the drink mixes that they send to us so they didn’t let me down they are also really fun because sometimes they’ll pop into our live streams which I love by the way you guys we’re having our first uh book discussion of the Year even though it’s technically for our

Book club from last year that’s going to be on the 24th so if you’ve been thinking about joining our book club for 2024 and you kind of want to see what those live discussions are like you can pop in for that uh there’ll be information about that probably on the

Community tab oh this is our free gift these are sparkly and pretty too we have some sparkly rhinestone barrettes says every girl needs a bit of ice add some sparkle to even the simplest of hairstyles and enjoy I always think sparkly barrettes look really good on

Gals that have short hair like a little pixie haircut and then they just do the little like dash of Sparkle I always think that looks really really good it’s harder for me to do it but sometimes a little Sparkle right here or if I have my hair up that’s always nice too we

Have something that’s all wrapped up this would be one of those ones that I would have saved on the side so there’s there’s usually like you know three or four things that aren’t super wrapped up where you can you know get that first little burst of excitement and then save

The extras maybe in a drawer all right here is are um our we always get some items from uh stray cat cosmetics because that’s like their sister company so which is great because they donate to animal charities in Canada says this is a vanilla lip scrub so cool let me use

My little opener which is really just a letteror opener but it helps me with the little tabs of boxes like this to not tear them too much says this gentle lip scrub exfoliates in conditions leaving lips incredibly soft and hydrated it contains shea butter hoba oil and

Vitamin E to perfectly prep any lip or for super Supple and kissable lips uh value of $14 on this so this is a good size for a lip scrub I will say that for sure I actually was just thinking my lips were a little dry because it’s been

Pretty darn dry and I was like man I used to get lip scrubs all the time in boxes and then I often regi them in giveaways or to friends and family and I was like I don’t think I actually have any like open right now so I’m very

Happy to receive this cuz my lips could definitely use that ooh and it does smell like it smells like vanilla frosting which usually I don’t like sweet smelling things but for a little hint of that on your lips for a little quick scrub and exfoliation I’m into it

All right we still have so much more to go all right you guys what do you think this is can you believe how much stuff this in this box it is always such a good deal all right let’s see oh I think this is a bath bomb so hopefully it’s in

Good condition it looks like it’s all sealed up in this uh in this uh bit of bubble wrap so let me just open I this is pretty cool it’s like perforated bubble wrap so it’s easier for me to get into oh I don’t know it’s actually it

Looks like they sealed it I’m going to have to use my skizzers so let me just do that I’ll do it neatly now this is something that I will pass on to someone because as many of you know I am not a bath girl I like my showers but look how

Sweet and precious this uh Little Snowflake bath bomb is so it says soak away chills with this winter themed bath bomb take your time and relax in the sweet of vanilla and mint that’s a great combo skin- loving ingredients will have your whole body feeling soft and smooth

It is handmade in Canada and it has a value of $10 Canadian can I smell it ooh I can smell a little bit of the mint in all honesty I I’m I’m pretty sure I got a hint a hint of mint if you will that sounds really really nice sometimes you

Can use those as shower Steamers and you still get that refreshing uh scent so sometimes when they have a little bit more of a minty or eucalyptus scent I will hold on to them you know this is something that has been missing in my life so there was a time when so many

Lifestyle boxes included slipper socks every winter and we would usually get them like around Christmas um I did not get any new slipper socks this year which is fine sometimes people are like you know what we send slipper socks last year we’re not going to send them again

We’ve seen them in a lot of boxes I’m always happy for a new one I have a really hard time though like you know finally getting rid of them even when they’ve been pretty worn out um these are great because they have the little like nubies on the bottom so that you’re

Not going to slide across your hardwood floors if you have them they’re just so warm as as a non sock non boot girl uh these are great for me especially right now where my hardwood floors do feel awfully chilly in the mornings so again these are the snowflake Siler socks they

Have a value of $8 Canadian the perfect winter essential these fleece lined socks are sure to keep your feet snug and toasty they are from a local Canadian distributor I I do I love these sometimes I get too toasty roasty in them like I usually go to bed with them

On and then I like in the middle of the night have to rip them off cuz I get too warm all right we have one more item in here and it is like can you see how much stuff we had and then look how much of

The Box this box takes up I am so impressed that they were able to fit all those other things in here like around there so it’s kind of nice that everything was so flat I guess like the socks just provided some cushion the headband everything else is pretty small and flat

All right it looks like I’m going to have to get out my xacto knife I’m using all of my tools today scissors my letter opener my box cutter and they put like they put two kinds of tape on here just to make it pretty so we had some like

Beautiful like blue duct tape or packing tape and then some washi tape and I’m just destroying it all oh goodness you guys we’re going to have to listen to some Sirens now because that’s what always happens when I’m in the middle of an unboxing where I can’t go back and

Redo everything right so let’s just pause and let them go by I hope everyone is well that they are going to take care of so this is most likely what that fragile sticker was for on the front of my box oh goodness oh but maybe not that

Fragile I don’t know well packed though look how reflective this is goodness this is the Arctic Aura wine glass and it is glass it looks like it’s metal right it says we relaxing Fireside or an intimate dinner for two the elegant minimalist look of this set adds A Touch of Class

To any occasion there is a set of two and what does Noel say about drink wear it’s great as long as it’s not one of those plastic tumblers I just don’t need any more plastic tumblers and that’s just because I get so many subscription boxes sent to me for review sometimes I

Think it’s great to get a new plastic tumbler but for me I’m kind of up to here and then sometimes we’ll get beautiful wine glasses like I’ve gotten hand painted wine glasses or like stemless ones and they send me one and I’m like I know I I’m okay with like a

You know self-care night where I make my own Cherie board and have a glass of wine but just in general to to hold on to things I like them at least in sets of two so here’s the hutch sisters to the rescue this is really cool look how

Silvery they look on the inside oh look there I have I have wine glass eyes BL so this is what they look like let’s see oh nice sound to them it’s kind of neat they have like a different silver it’s like more iridescent or gunmetal on the

Outside and then we have more of the silver brightness on the inside it’s like you can you can still see through of them though that’s kind of what’s interesting to me so you’re probably still going to be able to see the level of your wine I don’t know this is so

Cool this has a value of $30 for the pair of them for the set so that seems very fair I think that’s really cool that they were able to send that but let’s just go over all of the amazing things that we got in this brown paper

Packages with the theme of Vanilla Ice and then again the next one is going to be what they say Midnight Express I’m looking forward to that too I think we’ll get some really cool chic items so we got this lovely little snowflake necklace that’s definitely going to be

One of my favorite items in this particular box we got our stray cat Cosmetics vanilla lip scrub vanilla we got our snowflake slipper socks I’m so excited my little cold toes are very excited for that we have our very beautiful snowflake bath bomb does it

Say what the scent is they said it in in there right vanilla and mint again so more vanilla and mint um I oh this was just a vanilla lip scrub it was the vanilla mint in the bath bomb the black ice headband which I might be able to

Use this on my little like glamping trip you never know our hot cocoa and we got got two of them we got French vanilla and chai vanilla yes because have to go with the theme our Arctic Aura wine glasses I just like how they sound you

Can kind of hear them um and then we have our eye gels I’ll be using these this is I’m very excited we got three packs of those and then our little extra for a little extra ice we got these rhinestone barrettes you guys let me know what was your favorite in the
