Be Kind By Ellen features a different artist each quarter for their box design. This month's artist is Mickenzi Jones, a North Carolina-based artist. There is an interview with the artist in each box magazine, and Mickenzi states that her inspiration for the design was people coming together and the beauty of uniqueness and diversity.

The box will always contain six full-sized items from various categories. The Winter 2022 box definitely had products perfect for colder weather. Keep reading to see what was inside...

• Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Adoption: Ellen's "The Ellen Fund" sponsors the Ellen Degeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, one of her favorite organizations. This certificate and photo is for a symbolic gorilla adoption, which will include updates with photos of your gorilla, stories about them, and a contribution to help continue the work the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund does to save gorillas. This is a really unique item that might not be everyone's idea of what should be in a subscription box, but I think it's a great way to support wildlife conservation.

• Beachwaver Be Confident Co-Wash: Subscribers will receive either the Co-Wash or the Good Vibes Moisturizing Conditioner. I received the Co-Wash, which is a "conditioner-only wash" product. Women with textured hair will likely be familiar with this type of product, but for those who aren't, it's exactly what it sounds like - a moisturizing conditioner that you use alone to cleanse the hair. I like using these in between shampoo washes. Beachwaver was founded by three sisters who prioritize innovative and ethnical products.
• Ethel M Chocolates Ghana Single Origin Chocolate: Subscribers will receive one of the Ethel M dark chocolate bars in one of four flavors, Ghana, Philippines, Indonesia, or Dominican Republic. I received the Ghana bar and it is so smooth and delicious! Ethel M chocolates are made in small batches with cacao from the country after which it's named. The brand is also committed to sustainability and minimizing impact on the environment.
• Be Kind By Ellen Holiday Cookie Cutter Set: This set has three cookie cutters in a custom-designed drawstring bag, as well as a small card with Ellen's Sugariest Cookies recipe. The shapes are a gingerbread man, a tree, and a star for the holidays.

• Bombas Merino Wool Calf Socks: Bombas is a Certified B Corporation, meaning they have passed a rigorous certification process to be recognized as a company that works toward the best social, environmental, and governance practices. Bombas also donates a pair of socks to an unhoused person in need for every pair sold and have donated more than 75 million items to date! I love a pair of high quality socks, and these are wonderful. They don't slide down my calves and keep them nice and warm.
• LAUDE The Label Carob Bubble Gauze Scarf: This Carob Scarf is named after the color, which is a carob brown. It is made from responsibly-dyed organic cotton that is ethically-crafted by makers in India. They are created with processes that reduce water, energy, and fabric consumption. This scarf is soft and perfect for wrapping up during cold weather, but it's also light enough that it could be worn in warmer weather, too.

Bottom Line: What I like best about Be Kind By Ellen is that it helps me discover new brands that are socially and ethically responsible, plus fun! The Winter 2022 box had a nice selection of products, and my favorites this quarter were the Bombas socks and Ethel M Chocolates.
