The smaller size box is $25.00 a month with a retail value of at least $25.00. Shipping is included for US addresses. A box is donated to a local senior center for every five boxes sold.

First Peek
Theme

The December Boxes of Inspiration Biblical Scriptural is John 3:16. I was slightly disappointed that it was not related to the birth of our Savior being that the box shipped in December. John 3:16 is a powerful verse that is important in the Christian faith.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

I do hope that there is a curator letter included in future boxes because I did understand how all the items related to John 3:16 although I did enjoy the items.

December Box of Inspirations

Here are the items in the December Box of Inspirations. I can’t wait to look at everything.

Praying about Your To-Do List

My teenager and I loved the Praying About Your To-Do List Prayer Cards (RV $9.99, clearance $1.49). It’s ideal for those times when we feel inundated with tasks that we want to avoid.

Front and Back

There are spaces to write in what needs to be prayed. Scripture references are provided for further reflection.

I was full of anxiety when I went to the doctor earlier this week. My hip has suddenly become pain-free which was absolutely amazing. Yet there was a part of me that worried it was a temporary lull. Thankfully it appears that it is a permanent that my hip is pain-free which is a miracle in itself.

Tissue Pack

Tis the season for colds! I will be keeping the  God Bless You Tissue Pack ($1.25) in my purse. I need to remember to purchase more because they are handy to have.

21 Days of Christmas

I am enjoying reading the 21 Days of Christmas compiled by Kathy Ide (retail value $14.99, clearance $1.49). The stories are the perfect length for reading every day.

The Fiction Lover’s Devotional has 21 short stories with a life application and author blurb with each story.

One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp

I knew one day that this book would end up in my life! The One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp ($21.99 RV, on sale for $5.99) is beautifully bond with an imitation leather covering. It’s a wonderful gift if you already read the book.

Back Cover

Yes, it is that book! I heard great things about it and can’t wait to start reading it.

Magnetic PageMarkers

T (17 years old) could not wait to select a couple of magnetic bookmarks ($2.99) for himself. He found the black and white design to be appealing.

We enjoyed reading them and were surprised by how strong the magnets are on the bookmarks.

Our favorite

Like Mother, Like Son. We both selected the same bookmark as our favorite. I was nice and let him keep it.

In Use

The bookmarks are easy to use. T and I will be putting them to good use because we both love to read.

The Best of Mercy Me

I asked my husband if he purchased the MercyMe Christmas CD while running errands. He did not, but later that day I opened this box and received The Best of MercyMe: The Platinum Collection ($10.99). Yes!

MercyMe is a popular Christian band. I’ve been singing the songs as I write this review. It’s been a joy to listen to the CD.

Divinity Boutique Tote

The Divinity Boutique Tote (appx $2.50) brings us back to the December Scripture theme. It’s roomy and will be used as a reusable grocery tote.

I greatly enjoyed the December Boxes of Inspiration. Everything will be used by my family. My favorite item is the 21 Days of Christmas Devotional. I do wish a curator letter was included to explain how some of the items fit in with the John 3:16 theme. The retail value of the box is $64.70 which is above the promised $45.00 retail value. Some of the items were on clearance which brought the value of the box down to $26.70 using current prices. However, I feel that is not the fault of the curator. Subscription boxes tend to be planned three months out, and retail prices can fluctuate greatly in December. I love the premise of having a box curated around a Bible Verse which also distinguishes it from other faith-based boxes. The items were meaningful to me especially during the season of Christ’s birth. Check out the box and be inspired to be closer to God.
