HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! It was a nice surprise to start off my New Year with my December TAKE YOU VACATIONS Box. December takes us to India! As the content card states "India is a riot of colors, smells and sights". I could just imagine. From watching many Amazing Race episodes that take you them India, it's always mayhem when they are there. I seriously could not imagine driving there. Thankfully TAKE YOUR VACATIONS India Box has taken me there without any need to get behind the wheel.
TAKE YOUR VACATIONS Subscription box has a couple options to choose from. You can join THE WEEKENDER that costs $45.00 or the full TAKE YOUR VACATIONS MONTHLY Subscription that costs $85.00 USD.
Included in the India box is a few of the curators favorite items from there. Let's take a look :)
Even the packaging of this subscription box is unique.... So very nostalgic!!
SIMPLY ORGANIC Turmeric - It is true.... you cannot go to India and forget about their spices. Turmeric being the distinctive color in curry powder. Not only is this a great spice to include in meals, it as well has many healthy attributes. Turmeric has been used for over 2500 years in India. The health benefits of turmeric have been slowly revealing themselves over the centuries. Long known for its anti-inflammatory properties, recent research has revealed that it can be helpful in the treatment of many different health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease.
HANDCRAFTED DRAGONFLY ORNAMENTS - The ornaments are so detailed on both sides with beading, jewels and gold. I plan on keeping these decorations out year round. To see all the hard work and embroidery done by hand is incredible.
HAND-CARVED BUDDHA adorned with glistening faux gems by Dayal J. Daryanani - Direct from Inda this hand-carved Buddha represents comforting senses, serenity and peace. Not only that, the sons that made this Buddha are carrying on a family legacy that was created by their grandfather and father. Dayal J. Daryanani (father) hopes his sons continue this legacy for many generations to come. Did you know that there are over 100 illustrated poses in the life of the Buddha? That is a lot of poses!! Check out this link for more about the Buddha poses - BUDDHA POSES.
LABRADORITE GANESHA by Kumawat - Kumawat received the Maharana Sajjan Singh Award in 2013. This award honors the works of permanent value to society through paintings, fine art, sculptures, architechture and crafts. This Lalitasana is an alluring depiction of Lord Ganesha pairing spiritual properties of labradorite with the confident posture of the deity. This is truly an amazing piece of art that I will cherish forever!
GOLDEN WISHES BOX by Riyas - It is hard to believe this whole box was painted by hand. There is so much incredible details all over this paper mache box! I plan to put all my very special jewels in here. The florid star shines ever so brightly over this piece of art!
MOLESKIN CASHIER JOURNAL - The lotus flower journal, block printed by hand, will come handy as a journal for whatever purpose you need in your journey in life. The lotus flower represents beauty, fertility, prosperity, spirituality and eternity. That flower pretty much takes care of all aspects of our lives. I plan on using my journal for meal planning for my family. It is so cute and small enough to fit in my purse for all our grocery needs.
In conclusion, my India TAKE YOUR VACATIONS box was another GREAT trip!! You know you want to travel as much as I do with this subscription...... you should JOIN NOW!!
