The BE KIND by Ellen Box brought us the magic of giving with its 12 Days at Home Box for Winter 2023. Packed with 12 thoughtful gifts and 2 bonus surprises, this box is a celebration of compassion and joy. It promises a season filled with warmth, surprises, and the spirit of giving. So, buckle up as we explore the treasures packed inside this Winter 2023 edition!

The LUMIFY® Redness Reliever Eye Drops ($19.50) is a handy solution for those moments when our eyes decide to show off a bit of redness. What caught my eye (pun intended) is that these drops are free from bleach or dyes. It’s always a relief when you know what you’re putting in your eyes isn’t loaded with unnecessary stuff. So, if red eyes are cramping your style, these drops might just be your go-to solution.

Now, let’s talk bling! Nestled in the Winter 2023 BE KIND box are the CZ BY KENNETH JAY LANE 2 Carat Round Classic Stud Earrings ($89). These little beauties scream simple elegance, and I can’t help but adore their timeless charm. The 2 carat equivalent Cubic Zirconia studs boast a classic round cut that effortlessly adds a touch of glam to any look. I popped these on for a casual outing, and suddenly, my entire vibe felt a tad more chic.

Let’s keep the style rolling with the next item in the box, the CELESTE SOL Billie Pearl Beaded Bracelet ($32.50) Adorned with freshwater pearls, it’s a delicate piece that effortlessly merges sophistication with a touch of playfulness. The 14K gold-filled design, anchored by a stainless steel base, ensures it’s both durable and classy. And for those with sensitive skin like mine, rejoice – it’s hypoallergenic. It’s those little details, like the freshwater pearls, that make this bracelet a winner in my accessory collection.


Here’s a unique and whimsical addition to the box – the NIMA OBEROI Lunares Wishbone Bottle Stopper. This little gem is not just a practical accessory for your favorite wines, it’s like giving your bottle a touch of dreams. The wishbone design isn’t just cute; it serves as a daily reminder to reach for your dreams, making it more than just a cork stopper. I added it to a bottle of my favorite red, and suddenly, even my countertop looked more chic. It’s a small touch, but sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.

The KITSCH Satin Pillowcase in Silver ($19) promises to tame frizz, reduce breakage, and create less friction while you catch those Zs. I swapped out my regular pillowcase for this 600 thread-count wonder, and I must say, the smooth feel against my skin is a nice touch. They say it absorbs less moisture and dirt – a win for both my hair and skin. Plus, it stays cool. This pillowcase is perfect for those nights when you’re just not in the mood for pillow flipping.

For a little holiday treat, they also included a pack of ZOLLI CANDY Zolli Caramelz ($7.99) in the box. Pop one of these in your mouth, and you’ll find yourself in caramel heaven – it truly melts in your mouth. These are sugar-free, made with plant-based erythritol and stevia. I’m no candy connoisseur, but the guilt-free factor is always a win in my book.

The BROKEN TOP BRANDS Cranberry Orange Car Freshener ($8) brings a touch of the season to your ride with its seasonal scent – think tart cranberry, zesty citrus, and a hint of warm spices. It’s a subtle aroma, not overpowering, which is just the way I like it. A little something to make those traffic jams a tad more bearable!

Now, onto the COCUS POCUS Crown & Mane Comb in Jade ($32) – a chic addition to your hair care arsenal. It effortlessly glided through without any tugging. The jade color adds a touch of sophistication, and the compact size makes it a handy on-the-go tool.

Not your average dishcloth, the SWEETGUM HOME Swedish Dishcloth comes with a festive “Let It Snow” print. I put it to the test on some post-dinner cleanup, and it held its own. The cloth is surprisingly absorbent, and the print added a cute touch to the sink area. It’s eco-friendly and reusable, so it’s a win for those aiming to reduce waste. Plus, the compact size means it won’t hog all your kitchen drawer space.  

MUSE LITERARY How to Love Yourself: In Less Than a Week and For the Rest of Your Life ($10.99) is a motivational read and a guide to self-love and personal growth. Clocking in at just 72 pages, it’s a short read, perfect for when you need a quick dose of inspiration. If you’re looking for ways to foster self-love in the new year, this might be a handy addition to your reading list. After all, who doesn’t need a little extra self-love in their life?

Neatly packed in a drawstring bag, the JIGGY PUZZLES Snow Cabin 450 Pcs Jigsaw Puzzle ($40) adds a touch of winter joy with its snowy cabin design. I poured out the pieces, and the challenge began. It came with a tube of puzzle glue and a straight-edge tool – a thoughtful addition for those who want to preserve their masterpiece. As someone who appreciates a good puzzle, this one provided a delightful mix of challenge and relaxation. Whether you’re a puzzle pro or a casual solver, it’s a fantastic winter-themed activity that brings a cozy cabin vibe to your downtime.

From practical items adding a touch of seasonal charm to accessories that subtly elevate your style, this season’s BE KIND Box is a well-rounded assortment. The addition of a motivational read and a puzzle for some cozy indoor entertainment shows a keen understanding of varied preferences. What sets this special edition apart is the diverse range of items, each contributing a unique flavor to the overall experience. Cheers to spreading kindness, one thoughtfully curated box at a time!

Each seasonal box also includes a BE KIND Magazine detailing the product picks and brands for the quarter. Here’s a closer look:
