What they'll get: Each month Just Seeds by Bloomin' Bin will send you seasonal flower and fruit/vegetable seeds or both. Once you get your seeds, toss in soil, add some sun and water, and wait for your seeds to bloom.
Promising review: "I love my Bloomin' Bin! I've been getting it for quite some time now, and just renewed my subscription. I usually get so overwhelmed by seed catalogs, so this box helps me sort out my garden calendar (and helps me not waste any additional money on seeds or plants, OK, not as much money). There are always great varieties and options (I have seed + plant sub), and I love the informative sheets that go with the plants. I've even bought a couple boxes for my other garden enthusiast friends." —Rochelle-sheli N.

Promising review: "I'm a novice sewer so I was really hesitant to sign up for this subscription, but it really exceeded my expectations! The materials in my box was great quality and there was a very generous amount. There were a few fun surprises tucked in as well, which I really found to be thoughtful. I think one of the best aspects of this subscription is the tutorial videos that walk you through how to put the pattern together. I've never sewn clothes before so I was really nervous to get started; the videos were really helpful. The pattern in the box wasn't quite my style, but after watching the videos I was able to adapt it a bit and make an item that I really love. This is a really fun way to learn a new skill. I'm really looking forward to future boxes!" —Shannon B.

Promising review: "The class was very engaging, the instructor was clear and concise, the chocolate in the kit was a good quality, and the end result was FANTASTIC. I had a family emergency and last minute had to be at my sister's house during class and did not have access to my kit. I instead watched the whole class with my 11-year-old niece and afterward we then made the truffles at my house. We both had a lot of fun listening/watching and then making them and they were so so good! Even though we weren't making them during the class, we still found it to be engaging and learned a lot. I will be making lots of truffles in the future! We used the leftover tempered chocolate to make chocolate spoons and festive popcorn! Here's a pro tip from my niece: Sprinkles on the truffles are delicious!" —Jenny

Fluide is a queer-owned, Brooklyn-based small business that seeks to amplify the voices of queer and gender expansive identities through showcasing queer beauty, while offering inclusive, vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free cosmetics.
Promising review: "I’m an older cisgender female. I have some trans and gender-fluid friends and relatives and a Fluide gift card is my go-to method of supporting them when they share their gender identity with me. Because I am a person who appears mainstream conservative, I know it means a lot when I celebrate them for who they are. The gift card recipients have been delighted with the opportunity to explore their 'look,' and the fact that that it comes from an old white lady makes it even more special." —Jean

I especially like it when there are a couple of color options. I've never had any problems with any of the kits I've finished. I give the projects that I don't have time for to my sister and she distributes them to her friends, and they have loved the projects too!
