I’m so excited to introduce everyone to a new Canadian subscription box on the street, Market Mix! Market Mix is based out of Alberta, and they promise to deliver high quality, handcrafted and local items you’d find at the market, right to your doorstep. Right now they only ship to Canada, and you can either purchase a one-time box to try it out or subscribe and save a few dollars each month. I love farmer’s markets, and town markets… basically any sort of pop up market. Will Market Mix invoke that same sort of feeling in their debut box? Let’s open it up and see!
Two things greeted me when I opened this box: bright aqua squiggles, and a really nice scent of lavender, lemon, and other herbs. I don’t care for lavender, but I actually didn’t mind this at all!
The information sheet is actually attached to the top of the lid — what a great idea! July’s theme is Canadian Summer. The list looks great, and I’m excited to look closer!
Sugar Creek S’Mores Popcorn Caramel corn stuffed with graham crackers, marshmallow, and pieces of chocolate. This is amazing, you guys. Their website is down, which is probably a good thing — I would have ordered everything. This popcorn is crafted in small batches in Calgary.
Tearrific Inc Strawberry Rhubarb ($9 CAD) A black tea that will probably taste amazing iced! I love strawberry rhubarb pie, and this smelled pretty spot on!
Canadian Bacon? Salt Shaker ($9.95 CAD) This salt tastes exactly like bacon, but has no bacon in it! Maple syrup from Quebec gives it the sweet flavour while smoked salt and other spices give it the smokiness. It’s delicious!
Lemongrass Body Butter ($18.90 for full 8oz size) This is a very generous body butter with a fresh lemongrass scent. It’s thick but not too greasy and it smells wonderful.
Lavami Summer Soap ($7.00 CAD) This is what smelled so nice! It does have lavender in it, but it’s blended with citrus and basil as well! There’s mild exfoliation in this soap as well. I couldn’t find this exact scent on Lavami’s website, but their soaps retail for $7 CAD.
Wow, I absolutely loved opening the first Market Mix! It was a great mix of items — something to eat, to drink, and to indulge with. Everything was high quality and tasted (and smelled!) great. I love supporting small businesses and artisans, and this box was a real treat to open!
