This box is always full of darling – and usable! – fruity lifestyle goodness. This month, the theme is Pink Lemonade, and I am smitten, because pink and yellow are my favorite colors.

The packaging is so cute. I love the hand-wrapped gift in every box, and this month, the pink lemon wrapping is so charming.

Fruit For Thought sources fruit and vegetable-themed lifestyle products to create unique boxes full of fun goodies. They have two size options to choose from: the mini (3-4 products) and the regular (5-7 products).

Exciting news! Fruit For Thought is now a monthly subscription! Yasss! If you are a current subscriber, and you would like to keep a bimonthly subscription, you are all set. If you would like to switch to monthly boxes, make sure to login to your Cratejoy account and change your preferences.

AND we have theme spoilers until December!

August/September – Pink Lemonade
October – Peanut Butter Banana
November – Cucumber Melon
December – Cranberry Orange Pomegranate

Angela’s Creative Craft –  – $12.00

These colors! I am going to give this sweet frame to my friend who runs a gourmet lemonade stand at our local Farmer’s Market. I hope I can find a photo of her booth from the grand opening – 15 years ago, now!

One of my favorite things about Fruit For Thought is how Pam, the fun and thoughtful curator, supports small businesses and Etsy artists in every box. The artist who painted this frame, Angela Vasil, is a science teacher who uses proceeds to make activity bags for hospitalized children.

The Glendale Girls –  – $3.00

These blank cards are beyond cute!

They sell in packs of ten on Etsy, and I swear I could have used all ten this month alone.

Tipsy Dipsy Daisy –  – $9.00

Okay this whole box is really fun, but adult slushies? Heck yes!

These slushies are so easy to make. You mix the mix with a bottle of wine (we went pretty cheap), add some water and shake the whole thing in a Ziploc. We let the concoction freeze for a day, broke up the ice that had formed, and then let it freeze for another day. It turned out perfectly! Here we are having a little toast to (nearly) 18 years of marriage.

P.S. Tipsy Dipsy Daisy sells these mixes in a variety of flavors, and I think they would be perfect for a potluck.

Sun Basil Garden Soap –  – $4.00

Okay, this smells so good. Like lemon candy. I like that the moisturizing element is almond oil, and I am a big fan of clay in skincare for detox.

Plus, if you want to create a wonderful bath experience, you can take this bath bomb, a wine slushie and a page-turner with you. I call that a mini vacation!

Mopapo – Lemon Magnetic Bookmark – $4.00

Magnetic bookmarks are the bomb. I read a lot, and I take my books everywhere, and these guys NEVER fall out.

I have to admit, though, that I have lost a bunch, because I have been known to leave them in library books and drop them right into the bin. I want all the magnetic bookmarks! Plus, these two are very cute.

I am obsessed with the presentation in Fruit For Thought. I love presents (isn’t that what subscription boxes are all about?), and Pam finds THE cutest wrapping paper. I very carefully slice it just like my granny taught me, so that it can be reused. Maybe I should just buy a bunch of fruity gift wrap. Nah, this works.

Stephanie Martin Co –  – $10.00

These dainty bracelets might be my favorite item in the box. Maybe it was the anticipation as I unwrapped them? I am in love with the light pink and yellow, and the silver makes them seem elegant.

Stephanie, the artist, makes beaded jewelry full-time with her husband in their home studio. Imagine the beads! I want to go craft there.

Stephanie lists different color combos of these on her website as bridesmaid’s gifts – what a great idea! Affordable and darling and in customized wedding colors.

 

Papered Pineapple –  – $2.50

Thanks to co-blogger Jen, I’m (kind of) a planner girl, so stickers make me happy!

These would also be darling to add to the cute cards in this box.

These cuties fit perfectly in my planner squares, but I think they’d also work well in a bullet journal.

Four Blue Chicks –  – $3.00

I am so excited to grow these! I have two huge pots for my patio that have been needing something. I think I’ll try to grow them through the fall and winter and then transplant them in the Spring. Our climate is pretty harsh…does anyone know if these plants would survive the winter indoors?

Pink Lemonade Beach Ball – $1.00

This little ball makes me smile when I see it, and my nine-year-old concurs. It is the perfect sprinkler and tramp companion.

Mmmmm Pink Lemonade Chews. These are for my mama who craves the sugar every time she visits. She’s like a little hummingbird.

Fruit For Thought makes me happy. I love how Pam navigates her way around Etsy and then picks lovely, usable, giftable items I wouldn’t have found without her. (Those bracelets! The slushie mix! The notecards!) This box was the perfect reminder to appreciate the last few weeks of summer.
