My Little Box January 2017: Subscription Box Review
Earlier in the month I told you all about My Little Box, and showed you the amazing treats that had been included, in the two last My Little Box boxes from 2016. Around a week after that post went live, I was surprised when January’s box turned up on my doorstep and I, of course, couldn’t wait show you what their first box of the year had on offer.
The first thing I noticed about January’s My Little Box is it arrive box-less, instead featuring a larger bag to hold all the content together. Which as someone, who just pops the boxes into the recycling, to me seems like a great idea. (However, for those who love the boxes, never fear as it is just a bag for this month, February see’s the box format making its return.)
They have also got rid of the My Little World magazine in this “bag”, which seems like it might be a permanent feature, to make way for more different surprises each month. Now that is exciting!
The theme of January’s box is: Fresh Start, and is of course the perfect way to kick off the year. The box contains a mix of lifestyle and beauty items. Such as a set of 5 cards, which are meant to give you ideas, on helping to kick start this year as best you can, by offering tips on make it a happy, healthy and successful year.
My Little Box January 2017 – Lifestyle items.
Once again for me My Little Box has hit the nail on the head, with the two lifestyle items included in January’s box. First off was a Timeless Planner. This interesting little week to week planner, allows you to start it, when you need it, due to the fact it is non-dated. As well as letting you plan what you need to do, it offers tips on managing to do what you want to do as well.
Next up on the lifestyle front is a snood, a lovely soft and warm snood (how wonderful is the word snood, it just rolls off the tongue). Anyway enough about the word, this is bound to come in handy the start of this year, as after all, it is still cold and I am up for anything that helps keep me a little warmer.
My Little Box January 2017 – Beauty items.
January’s My Little Box contained 4 items’ I would class under this header, the first two items come from partners of My Little Box and the first is a nourishing hair mask, from Garnier Ultimate Blends. This product is said to, in the long run; help make your hair stronger and healthier from root to tip. The box contains a one use sachet which is a nice way to give it a try.
The second partner item is a Merci Handy; Berry Cool toothpaste. This is said to be 98% natural and definitely sounds like an interesting product to brush your teeth with. I have been asked, however, to use a certain toothpaste by my hygienist, so I’ll have to pass this onto someone else to try for me.
As I said in my previous post, My Little Box also makes a range of their own products which are often included in these boxes. This month two were found inside the box; first up was a body lotion, which is 98.5% natural and includes a whole host of fruity goodness and is joined by sunflower seed oil and ginger to make for a revitalising and uplifting body lotion, which is a joy to use.
Last but by no means least is the hand cream, this has a sweet fragrance and creamy texture, which melts into your hands with ease, leaving them feeling pampered and preened, which with the harsh weather, of winter, is great.
So that’s it for January’s My Little Box, I have to admit once again, for me, they have offered a good one. If you fancy trying it for yourself, do head over to their website, where a subscription costs from £14.95 (including postage) per month and can be cancelled at any time.
What do you think of January’s My Little Box, could you see yourself subbing to this particular monthly box?

The planner front page looks very simple, interesting to see what’s inside, there are diff kind of planner and this one is something unique!
Oh this sounds pretty cool, it’s my first time hearing about this subscription and you got very cute and useful items. I am a planner addict lol… so its obvious that caught my eye 🙂
Haha there is nothing like a good planner is there. x
I have never heard of my little box, but I love all the items you got. Especially that planner, it’s just my style.
It’s a really interesting box, I’ve been impressed with all three of the ones I’ve had so far.
Looks like that you had an amazing box! I want that planner I can write there all my monthly and weekly plan.
I’m really trying hard to use a planner this year to try and help keep on top of everything.
Oh that planner looks absolutely lovely! I want one!
It’s really good – I love that you can use it anytime as well.
Sarah, this is a great box! You had me at snood! Those are awesome! I love that the box has a variety of things to reflect the month. Everyone needs a planner for the year. The body lotion has great ingredients and perfect for the cold month of January
This box sounds brilliant, love the stuff you received! Ive usually subscribe to Glossybox and Look Fantastic but this looks very different x
It is definitely different to them, worth a good look at if you are looking for something just a bit different. x
Very interesting products in My Little Box, I love the snood, looks so cosy!
It is such a nice snood, it’s so soft as well as being warm. x
What a fab box. The items look great.
I looove the diary and the snood! And that conditioner for damaged hair – definitely need that!
I had to search for “snood.” I must have been living under a rock! Haha. So that’s what those things are called. Anyway, I think its lovely and a great fashion accessory too. I love creams that have a mild fragrance. It really makes me feel like a pampered queen. 🙂
I’m not sure if it’s an English thing to call them snoods? They are awesome though and everyone needs one 😉 x
I love how this came with a planner! What a great way to start out the new year.
Lovely little pieces, I love the idea of a box like this!
I’ve often thought about ordering this box as they always look great. Not sure why I haven’t maybe cos I order too many boxes!!
This looks like a great box! I am loving that planner!
It looks like you got some really great products. I’d love to some of that body lotion, I have an obsession with trying to keep my skin hydrated.
All of the included products look really nice but goodness- that planner! Swoon! So pretty.
Awesome! I like everything that’s included in the box, they’re all so useful. I like that you get the value for your money here!
Love that they have a planner included for the month of January! That’s awesome, not to mention, it’s the perfect way to start the year! This box is great, without a doubt.
This box looks amazing!! And this planner is so cute and useful!
Oh I love this subscription service. I’m not a member but I really love seeing whats inside the boxes as the mix of lifestyle and beauty products really appeals to me xxx
I love the look of that box. Totally agree it’s good to be boxless- I wouldn’t want more in my recycling pile either!
We already have two recycling bins and we can fill them both up over two weeks!
I cancelled my my little box subscription just before Christmas because although I loved the boxes (it was always one of my favourites) I was kind of sampled out. Although this looks like a good selection of products there’s nothing in there which makes me think wow x
That is one of the problems isn’t it – there’s a point where you just have too much. x
Such a beautiful box. I really love that planner.
What a fab box! Is it available in the US? Guess I will head to their site to find out. I would love to try the toothpaste and the planner alone makes the price totally worth it!
Great review!
I’m going to have to give my little box a try. Those goodies are too tempting.
I would love to try the Garnier Nourishing hair mask. I really love their products! The berry cool toothpaste sounds interesting to try! I’ve never used a “natural toothpaste.”
I’m really looking forward to trying that my hair is a complete state at the moment so needs it.
These boxes look great. I do like the sound of that toothpaste x
It is really interesting sounding isn’t it – amazing how people come up with these ideas.
Your little box has the perfect items. Great timing for a planner to start the year. That toothpaste looks interesting…need to try it!
It sounds so interesting doesn’t it – it’s like kids toothpaste for adults 😉 x
This looks like a great box. I’d like to try that hand cream. I also think I’d like that body lotion.
I am all for hand cream I have to admit. I get through so much! x
Some lovely treats! I love the look of the timeless planner as loving lying to myself that it helps me be more organised (not so sure, but like them regardless). I also love the snood it looks lovely. You have a great selection though 🙂 x
Loving the planner and the snood, these are items that I could make use of right about now. What a lovely box
It is a fab box – they really seem to plan them out well!
I love My Little Box and this one looks super cute, I really need to subscribe again.
It is so good – its actually a box I am loving at the moment! x
I love that berry toothpaste. A box of goodies like this would be fun to receive.
It is such fun to get – a bit like Christmas every month. x
Ive never heard of this subscription box, but I love what you got. I cannot wait to check it out! I LOVE that planner!
The planner is great, I’ve popped it away till my current one runs out. x
What a fab box! I love the planner and the snood is gorgeous as well x
The snood is so cosy! It will definitely be getting lots of us 😉 x
Look at all that good stuff. I have never heard of the word “snood” before, but I love those things.
