This Autumn I decided to treat myself to a Buddybox as I was starting to feel a little low and needed a pick me up.

I have been following The Blurt Foundation and their social media posts for a few years and decided to see whether their Buddyboxes are good value for money.

I ordered the October Buddybox and received it at the beginning of the month.

Here’s what was inside:

A marshmallow vegan hot chocolate

There’s nothing quite like hot chocolate and marshmallows on a cold and wet Autumn evening.

A 2023 Calendar

Handy for circling important dates, however, there is no space for writing things in. It would have been better if we could jot down things in the diary.

Lavender pillow spray

I tried this out and it helps me sleep much better as I love the smell of lavender.

A Blurt Foundation Zine

This is a mini magazine with tips on Acts of comfort for when we’re feeling vulnerable and comforting reminders for wonky days.

Jar of comfort cards

Comfort cards are great messages when you’re feeling a little under the weather and you need to hear some positive messages.

A body warmer

This is ideal now the morning and evenings are cooler and wetter. Keeping warm and snug can help you feel a little brighter, especially on days when you’re feeling low.

My Verdict

So, what was the verdict?

Would I order a Buddybox again? Yes! Do I recommend it? Yes!

At £21.50 for the standard Buddybox, I think it’s great value for money and a lovely surprise for the person receiving it. If you were to add up the items together you would definitely find it worth the money.

I have to say I also love the way in which this box is presented with the picture on the box and the colour option on the other side.
