June 2022 Mom & Me Subscription Unboxing
If you're new to our mom & me subscription boxes, keep in mind that we tailor each gift box to your child's age and developmental stage depending on the choices you select at checkout. This means that not all boxes are 100% the same.
Lime In The Coconut Soy Candle (for mom)
Backyard Candles
Yes...we put the lime in the coconut! Brighten the room with energizing moments of a warm summer day on the coast.
Enjoy the uplifting spirit of tropical coconut that delivers the perfect island ambiance to any space. Delicious, zesty orange citrus and lime notes make their way into your favorite spaces whenever you crave a little mood boost! This candle is one of our favorite items because it makes this month's subscription box perfect for gifting!
Backyard Soy Coconut Candles are phthalate-free and made with all-natural soy and coconut waxes. The top layer smells like a clean lime and mandarin, the middle layer smells like tropical lemon verbena, and the base has a beachy coconut wood smell.
How to use this coconut soy candle:
Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting and keep debris out of the wax pool. Never burn longer than 4-hour intervals. Set the candle on a heat-resistant surface and avoid drafts. Always burn within sight and extinguish before leaving the room. Don’t burn near things that catch fire. Keep away from children and pets. Don’t extinguish with water. Always let the wax harden before relighting, touching, or moving.
Apothecary Matches (for mom)
Soy & Aroma Co.
These decorative matches are as practical as they are beautiful. You can strike them directly on the bottom of the elegant apothecary-style bottle whenever you want to light your favorite candle. Each bottle comes with 12 matches tipped in a sage green color to coordinate with this month's lime in the coconut candle.
They are made in the USA, come with a cork top for safety, look stunning in any room, and made a wonderful addition to this month's mom & me subscription box.
As a reminder, please always remember to handle matches with care, and keep them out of reach of children. Also please be sure to keep them away from hot surfaces and flames and close the bottle before striking the match.
