Top Five Subscription Artisan Boxes from Small Shops.

Hi, Friends. How are you? Happy Mid-week! We are well. keeping very busy with a sick little one, two other kids at day camp and our oldest in Texas.

If you love handmade items, you will love this week's Top Five. I have an intimate knowledge of these particular finds. Did you know that you can order boxes as subscriptions with awesome maker goods inside? There are some big names out there that do this kind of subscriptions. But I love supporting the smaller shops. Here are five small shops that I have come upon that sell subscription artisan boxes. I hope you enjoy this list as much as I have. Each of these makers and their boxes are great. So there is no specific order to how they are presented, they are all great and worth the time to check out.

1. The Barmy Fox Box by the Barmy Fox. These monthly subscription boxes are all handmade by Tory, and fit the theme for each month. September's theme is Mermaids and Unicorns. How fun does that sound? You can also find the Barmy Fox on Instagram and Facebook.

2. Tail Mail by Made By Mermaids. In this fun box, you receive jewelry from Made by Mermaids and then at least two items from other makers from around the world. You can also find Made by Mermaids on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Youtube.

3. Package O' Pretties (POP) and Mini Heart Mail from Earth Cookies Creates. I have had the special privilege to contribute to both of Jessica's boxes. Package of Pretties is a monthly subscription box full of handmade items that fit a particular theme. These items are created by Jessica and other artists. There are at least 5-8 items in each box.

The Mini Heart Mail Package is similar to the POP but is smaller with fewer items which can be more friendly on the budget.
You can also find Jessica on Instagram.

4. The Crafty Mail Handmade Subscription Boxes ( I love the description Kelly gives online) Makers Gonna Make! So, why not bring together a whole lot of awesome so you can experience the world of handmade in a monthly box with samples from 5-10 shops differing monthly?! I have also had the special privilege of being a part of one of these boxes recently. You can find Kelly online in these other locations Instagram and Facebook.

5. #AliciaZitaOnAMission Katie's boxes are unique. You order a box of great handmade items but all the money raised is sent to a different charity each month. The one pictured raised money for Camp Rainbow Gold in Idaho, a camp for kids who are fighting cancer. I also had the opportunity to be a part of this box for the July box. Stay tuned in her ETSY shop and social media to find out what is happening for July. You can find Katie online on Instagram and Facebook.

These subscription boxes are so great and offer an awesome grouping of handcrafted items from makers all over the world. I would love to hear from you. Which one of these boxes did you like the best and why? Also, do you know of other awesome artisan subscription boxes from small shops? Comment below we would love to hear from you.
