The Hygge Holiday Box from Hygge in a Box 🇨🇦

Happy new year! 🎉 I hope you had a great holiday. I thought I’d share a couple of boxes between Christmas and New Year’s and logged on to write a few times but didn’t get any further than that. 😬 I really just needed the break. We’re back to online learning here in Ontario with the Omicron surge so that’s not ideal but we’ll do like Nemo and just keep swimming. Maybe not butterfly strokes — dog-paddling and treading water, mostly — but doing what we can to stay afloat. Hygge helps. “Simply put, it’s when you’re cozy and you feel good about it,” say Jill Kantor and Lisa Kroft, founders of Hygge in a Box. You know, that unique contentment you feel when you bundle up and go for a walk in the crisp wintery air or curl up by the fire with a cup of hot chocolate or have a good soak with your favourite bath salts. In addition to their seasonal boxes, Jill and Lisa curated a limited edition Hygge Holiday Box to help subscribers enjoy hygge moments at a time when they’re needed the most. (Well arguably the holidays *and* now. We need all the hygge we can find now too.)

Breakfast with Goodfood: butter croissants and artisanal oat bowls, oh my! 😋 🇨🇦

Some foods are good for the body and some are just good for the soul. And I think you know which category those croissants ↑ are in. 😉 They’re one of several ready-to-bake pastries available from Goodfood, a weekly Canadian grocery subscription service that delivers meal kits, read-to-cook meals, and grocery products to your door. Their breakfast menu also includes a variety of tasty and nutrient-dense options like the artisanal oat bowl a little further in this post. Which one would you pick to start your day? 🤔 Here’s a closer look at both.

Norlii Box December 2021: Scandinavian Christmas

Scandinavian Christmas traditions speak to me. There’s a lot of baking, a lot of candles, and elves leave little presents in your boots (as long as you keep them well fed 😉). So a box celebrating Christmas Scandi-style speaks to me in a BIG way. And it happens to be the theme of December’s nordic home and lifestyle box, Norlii Box. 🙌 It’s about discovering some new traditions and making them your own with a collection of festive Scandinavian goods to get you started.
