March 2021 Gramma in a Box Review

The March Gramma in a Box had a St. Patrick's Day theme, of course! The cookie and candy craft box is always a fun way to share delicious sweets with my family.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Gramma in a Box was created by Terry, who wanted to be able to share sweet treats with her grandchildren who had moved out of state. The subscription allows everyone to send a box to their loved ones, or complete the crafts with them if you live close to each other!

The box usually comes with enough supplies to create 15 to 20 individual treats, but this month's info card announced that, starting in April, subscribers will now receive a dozen cookies in each box!

Gramma in a Box sends all of the ingredients you need to create three projects. The only items you'll need to provide are basics like a bowl and a spoon for mixing. Here are their pricing options:

• Monthly: $22.50 per month
  
• Three Months: $67.50 every three months
• Six Months: $135 every six months
• 12 Months: $270 every 12 months

You can also purchase a single box for $25 with no subscription. You can save 10 percent on subscription plans with the auto-debit option.

Shipping is included in all price options. Boxes ship on the first of the month and cancellations must be submitted by the 25th of the month to avoid the next month's charges.   

The first project was Shamrock Pretzel Pops. To assemble them, I melted the chocolate discs in the microwave and then dipped the "U" shaped end of each pretzel into the chocolate and connected three pretzels to form a shamrock shape. I added a little extra in the center to attach the stick and chocolate candy in the middle. These are so cute and such a creative idea!

The second project, Crispy Pot 'O Gold Cups, involved mixing the remaining melted chocolate with puffed cereal and scooping it into the paper cups. I then added gold and other colored sprinkles for decoration.

The third project is always cookies, and the March cookies were St. Patrick's Day themed. As stated earlier in the post, starting in April boxes will contain even more cookies - a full dozen! The cookies are pre-baked and shrink wrapped in plastic to maintain freshness, but be sure to do your crafts within a week of receiving the box for optimal freshness.

The cookies were shaped like pots of gold, shamrocks, and leprechaun hats with yellow, white, and green icing. There were several sprinkles of different shapes and colors, too.

Bottom Line: Gramma in a Box always has fun and creative cookie and candy crafts. The projects are simple enough for kids of all ages to share with adult loved ones and are a great way to bond and show someone you care!

February 2021 Gramma in a Box Review

My February Gramma in a Box was a bit delayed by USPS, not surprising given the storms and other shipping issues going on, so I apologize for this late review!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Gramma in a Box sends all the ingredients you need to complete three cookie and candy crafts. There are enough supplies for 15 to 20 individual treats for the three projects. 

Here are their pricing options, where you can save 10 percent with the auto debit option:

• Monthly: $22.50 per month
  
• Three Months: $67.50 every three months
• Six Months: $135 every six months
• 12 Months: $270 every 12 months

You can also purchase a single box for $25 with no subscription.

Shipping is included in all price options. Boxes ship on the first of the month and cancellations must be submitted by the 25th of the month to avoid the next month's charges.  

The box comes with all of the ingredients individually packaged in shrink wrap or plastic cups. The info card has a list of all the ingredients inside plus anything you need to supply from home (always basic items, as you can see above). The opposite side lists any allergens, too.

The first project was Cupid's Arrows. The projects are always so creative, and these are a perfect example! They involved using melted chocolate to "glue" candy hearts onto pretzel rods so that they looked like little arrows.

The second project was Valentine Candy Cane Hearts. I used the leftover melted chocolate and mixed it with crisped rice cereal, then placed it in the middle of the two candy canes to make a heart shape. These are so cute!

The last craft is always cookies, and the February theme was Valentine Cookies. The cookies are pre-baked and should be decorated within a week of receiving the box so they're at their freshest. The Valentine's shapes were Xs and Os with lips and hearts and pink, white, and red frosting and sprinkles.

January 2021 Gramma in a Box Review and Coupon

If you're a fan of fun crafts and sweet treats (who isn't?), Gramma in a Box is the perfect subscription for you! The January box started off the new year with an unexpected theme.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Gramma in a Box is a way to treat yourself and/or your loved ones to a box full of monthly treats. There are three cookie and candy crafts with all the ingredients you'll need inside. 

Here are the pricing options:

• Monthly: $22.50 per month
  
• Three Months: $67.50 every three months
• Six Months: $135 every six months
• 12 Months: $270 every 12 months

You can also purchase a single box for $25 with no subscription.

Shipping is included in all price options. Boxes ship on the first of the month and cancellations must be submitted by the 25th of the month to avoid the next month's charges.  

All of the ingredients are packaged in sealed plastic. The only things you'll need to supply are household items like a bowl and spoon. There are enough ingredients to make 15 to 20 individual treats.

I assumed that the January box would have a New Year's or winter theme, but instead it was Cupcakes and Donuts! All of the crafts were cute and creative.

The first craft was Donut Pops. I melted the white and orange chocolate discs in the microwave to make peach melted chocolate, spread out about a quarter sized amount on the paper, set the sticks, and then added the cereal bits around the outside. They dried and stuck together in about five minutes.

The second craft, Cupcake Clouds, was my favorite this month! They involved using the rest of the melted chocolate by stirring in mini marshmallows, scooping the mixture into the paper cups, and then adding confetti sprinkles. I love how cute these turned out!

The third craft is always cookies that fit the monthly theme, so this month's were Donut and Cupcake Cookies. The cookies are pre-baked and sealed in airtight plastic so they arrive fresh. It's best to complete your crafts within a week of receiving the box so that the ingredients are at their freshest.

The cookies were cupcake and donut shapes of two sizes, with multiple colored sprinkles and pink, white, and light blue icing. I loved the pastel colors and the different designs I could make on the donuts, especially.

The December box featured holiday treats. All of the ingredients are individually sealed in plastic packaging. The only items you'll need to supply are basics like a bowl and spoon for mixing.

The first craft was my favorite this month, the California Snowman Pops. Gramma in a Box always has the most creative crafts, and this one is no exception!

I melted the included white chocolate discs and then spread them out on the (included) wax paper to form melted snowmen, then added the Reese's Cup, cut in half, as the hat. The eyes, carrot nose, M&Ms, and pretzel stick arms were all added in random spots to enhance the melting look.

The second craft, Holiday Wreaths, used the rest of the melting chocolate. I added in the green discs to the already melted white chocolate, then mixed in the cornflake cereal. The mixture was then spooned onto a pretzel ring base and decorated with green sprinkles and red hot candies.

The third craft is always cookies. The cookies are pre-baked and vacuum sealed, but it's still best to do your crafts within a week of receiving the box so that they're at their freshest. The December cookies were a Winter Cookies theme and had ornament, snowflake, snowman, and tree shapes. Red, white, and green frosting and various sprinkles were included for decoration.

November 2020 Gramma in a Box Review and Black Friday Deal

With all of the holidays coming up, Gramma in a Box is a fun way to create and share treats with your loved ones. The November box had Thanksgiving-themed treats, of course!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Gramma in a Box is a food and craft subscription that sends supplies to make three projects each month. The box includes everything you need to make 15 to 20 individual treats, and the only items you'll need to supply are basics like a bowl and spoon for mixing.

Here are their pricing options:

• Monthly: $20 per month
  
• Three Months: $60 every three months
• Six Months: $120 every six months

Black Friday Deal: You can get a Baker's Dozen subscription of 13 boxes plus 20% off for $230 with coupon code BLACK2020. This includes the December 2020 box and all of 2021. The coupon is good for one day only, on November 27th!

Each project has a card with instructions and all ingredients and allergen information on the opposing side.

The first project for November was Acorn Kisses. I melted the chocolate and placed a dollop on each side of the small Nilla Wafer cookies, then attached a Hershey's Kiss on one end and the chocolate chip on the other. These are so cute and look just like acorns!

The second project was Goofy Turkey Buddies, another creative snack. I used the remaining melted chocolate and placed a small circle on the (included) wax paper, then added some to the pretzel rod and stuck them together. I then used the candy corn and eyes and beaks (chocolate-covered sunflower seeds) to complete the design.

The third project is always cookies. The Fall Cookies featured turkey, leaf, acorn, and candy corn shapes. The cookies are pre-baked and shrink wrapped in plastic to preserve freshness. You should complete your crafts within a week of receiving the box, though, to maintain the best freshness.

Three colors of frosting (brown, orange, and yellow) and various sprinkles were also included. Unfortunately I did not frost the candy corn shapes because I cleaned up and disposed of the remaining frosting before I realized I hadn't done them! They still tasted great on their own.

October 2020 Gramma in a Box Review

 Happy Spooky Season! I love this time of year, with all the pumpkins, black cats, and ghosts and ghouls. The October Gramma in a Box celebrated all of these fun things with candy and cookie crafts!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

• Six Months: $120 every six months (automatic 10% off the monthly price)

The projects are always so creative! The first one for this month was Spooky Witches Hats and involved using melting chocolate, Hershey's Kisses, and sprinkles to decorate ginger snap cookies. In the first photo I accidentally included the bones and skulls candy instead of the sprinkles, but you can see what they look like in the second photo, above.

The second project was Crispy Halloween Bites. I used the rest of the melting chocolate and mixed in crisped rice cereal, then spooned it into the paper cups and topped with the skull and bones candies. I also added a few sprinkles for some more color. This is a really simple treat but colorful and fun for parties.

 
The last craft is always cookies. The cookies are pre-baked and come in sealed plastic to preserve freshness. It's best to complete the crafts within a week of receiving the box so that they're at their freshest.

The Halloween Cookies had large and small pumpkin, ghosts, and witch hat shapes with orange, white, and purple frosting and various sprinkles. Unfortunately I messed up the face of one of my ghosties, but it still tasted delicious!
