You can pretty much find anything for subscription in a box right now. I recently did a review for The Trend Tribe of several of them. Read the full article here! But I fell super in love with two of them and wanted to make sure that you feel that love loud and clear. Julibox, oh Julibox. Let me count the ways…great design, a recipe card that is easy to read, informative, and pretty, tiny bottles of things, pretty packaging. The overall concept is awesome, especially for a foodie like me. While the cost comes out to be about $10 a drink (4 per box), that is what you would pay if you were out on the town. These cocktails and ingredients are hand selected by masters of their craft. I hope someone gets this for me for, well, no reason at all. I love this.
Kiwi Crate is a great brand. I have seen them on social media and seen some work they have done with other bloggers. I finally decided that my kids should try one of these boxes out. This subscription is AMAZING. Both of my kid’s were super excited. I loved that everything you needed was included, except in one small case where they made sure to call out that something extra was needed. The design is cute and family friendly. The crafts were fairly easy to do and were fun for the kids. I think this would make a great gift for kids. There are tons of box options on their site from monthly kits to party crates and specialized themes. How fun for them to get something every month that encourages creativity and hands on learning! I’m so glad I finally got to try this out for myself. The hype about Kiwi Crate is well deserved.

Today I’m sharing my favorite drink recipes from the blog. Not all of these are cocktails so there should be a little something for everyone!
How yummy does that fall sangria look? When this recipe came across my inbox I knew that I had to try this. I am generally a white wine drinker and have always preferred my 
The recipe is really easy and the ingredients are easily found in any supermarket. And how cute is that 
The spice bundle is where it’s at. This is how all those amazing fall flavors get in to your drink. You can find cheese cloth at Target or your grocery store. I always have some on hand for making quinoa or ghosts…its very versatile. Let’s talk for a minute about how amazing a fresh vanilla bean smells. And mixed with the cloves…I mean…
You will want to plan ahead a smidge to give the spices time to marry with the juice (from 4-24 hours). Instead of finding a really large pitcher to transfer the juice in to, I poured a little juice out to make room for the spice pouch and the plums. That really is the only option for a lazy person like me. And don’t even get me started about pitcher sizes and how they go from small to OH MY GOSH HOW AM I GOING TO FIT THIS IN MY FRIDGE large with nothing in between…
I left the plums and spices in overnight. I like maximum flavor output so I always leave things for the longest possible time. Then I added the wine, heated it up a bit and then finally got to taste it.
Ah-mazing. First off, the 
But this recipe can also be served over ice. And it was GOOD! Simply follow the recipe above and instead of heating the wine and juice together, just serve over ice with plum slices.
I have not tried the above recipe with white wine yet, but I imagine it too will be quite tasty. This
