THE C CRATE has always had my curiosity. Right from the first post they did on Instagram, I was interested. What could the "C" in THE C CRATE stand for? Creative... Curiosity..... Courage?? Maybe it is a bit of all that? NO ..... No it's not about that. THE C CRATE are Crates for Cool Chicks who give a damn! Subscription crates with conscious items that you choose (Clothing, Chocolates, Candles, Cuff bracelets, Clutch bags) that support global causes with 10% of profits donated to charities with either your monthly or bi-monthly subscription.
The C Market is their compassionate collective marketplace, where you choose your items for your C CRATE.
First things first ..... you need to create your wishlist from the C Market. Making sure to select everything you like. You can edit your wishlist anytime. Also, after you subscribe, you will be included in special items that are available to subscribers only, and may not be available in the C Market. As well, you will be updated on items before they are available at the C Market.
Second Thing to do is add THE C CRATE to your cart and checkout. Remember you have two carts to choose from....monthly or bimonthly. Also, do you want the little c crate that costs $50 or the Big C CRATE that costs $80. No obligation either ...... you can cancel any time. Also, you can straight purchase items from the C Market if you like.
I love shopping at stores like Ten Villages or any other store that sells ethical clothing, jewellery, household items and cosmetics. THE C CRATE is exactly that but online and they put together different items you have chosen in your wishlist. In essence you are the curator of your subscription box. You just don't know when or what you will receive until your subscription box arrives. So many Fantastic items to choose from! I keep going back on the C Market website, adding and changing my wishlist. Just as THE C CRATE suggests, don't be shy.... choose everything you like! That way when your box is put together, there is a lot of items for them to pick from.
THE C CRATE - Created for me by the Owner and Curator :)
GLOBAL MAMAS - Sling Purse
Crafted by: Elizabeth, Abena & Aikins
Handmade in Ghana. Global Mamas is a community working together to create a life of prosperity for African women and their families. This purse is perfect for my Farmer Market trips and trips on the trails close to our house. Lightweight, Adorable and Functional!
PROSPERITY CANDLE in Magnolia Blossom
Quote: "In this world of tomorrow, we must go forward together or not at all." Hillary Clinton
Soy Blend Candle by Sai Aye. Sai Aye was born along the Burmese-Thai border. She spent her early years moving from village to village with her family in search of food and a safe place to lay their heads. After living many years in a refugee camp, she later moved to the U.S. and joined Prosperity Candle, where she is creating a bright future for her daughter and herself. Such a Great feeling knowing the smallest purchase can impact so many lives!
KEY CHAIN/PURSE FOB
How fun is this?! The colors are surely to assist with retrieval of keys anytime of day. Whether they are lodged at the bottom of my purse or the only item sitting on the kitchen cupboard. I no longer worry about my keys whereabouts. Also, my latest addiction is pompoms! I now have a pompom keychain! Very cool!!
BRASS TURQUOISE BRACELET
When the curator contacted me about choosing a bracelet for my box, it was a very tough decision. One bracelet was surely something I would have worn and tend to lean towards whenever looking at jewellery. It was sterling silver cuff style. The second a gold cuff with a huge red carved gem in the center. Third being this brass and turquoise number. I was like .... come on! Get out of your comfort zone and pick the most stunning of the three! To me.... that was the brass turquoise bracelet and I am thrilled with my choice. I have been wearing it non-stop and so many compliments!
There you have THE C CRATE! It does the heart good knowing this subscription is one that gives back in so many ways. Not only 10% with each purchase going to charities, but the fact that the items within the box are supporting communities and small businesses around the world. I just looked at THE C CRATE's Causes & Impact page on their website. This subscription supports and empowers women, it also aids groups to fight against child and animal abuse, veteran, clean water and fighting hunger. This box is not only a Gift for you, it's a gift that keeps on giving!!
