SEPTEMBER 2019 VIP BOX REVEALED!

2 09 2019

“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.”

First of all, my apologies… I am LATE in getting this post created. We have been crazy busy setting up at the Kansas State Fair, and at the same time, have had technology issues here at the store. However, I really do want to share what’s INSIDE our SEPTEMBER VIP BOX… It is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

The idea for this box came way back in January at the Atlanta Market when Sandy and I were shopping in the Handmade Artisan section. We met a sweet girl that made beautiful handcrafted cards and thought one of those would be perfect to include in a future box. In fact, by the time we left her booth, we had decided to use it for September. 🙂

As time went on, we began to find other items that we are really excited for you to find in your box!

LAST CHANCE to skip out… Here comes the REVEAL of what’s inside the September VIP BOX…

Adrian’s September 2019 VIP BOX

We chose this beautiful butterfly theme for September and adopted the quote “With Brave Wings…She Flies.” All of us have had times in our lives where we just had to fly, or have watched our sons and daughters fly the nest. It takes courage to take that leap!

Many of you have moved away from friends and family to a new city, attended college where you knew no one, had a child move half way around the world (our son and daughter-in-law lived in the country of Bhutan in the Himalayas for a time), so you know what I mean when I say “With Brave Wings…She Flies!”

Some of you have started a business, gone back to college after many years, faced illness, divorce, loss of a family member, or just gone through tough times. For me, the butterfly symbolizes the courage it takes to fly again. That’s where this box comes from. It is meant to encourage you or whoever you give this box to with that challenge to fly again!

Now to see just what is inside this box…I only have a group shot this time (sorry!) but it is filled with some AWESOME items!

What’s inside the September VIP Box from Adrians?

First of all, the beautiful handcrafted Butterfly Card which is framable, or the butterfly comes off and is a magnet. You can keep for yourself or send to someone who is needing to fly again. 🙂

We have a beautiful purple Iridescent Beaded Bracelet that we found at the Jewelry Show and bought in about every color. It is stretchy so it will fit almost every wrist size. Gorgeous!

Next, we have a Butterfly Crossbody Bag (colors vary) from our friend Christine in New York. Let me tell you, Christine really came through on this item. Not only was she at back-to-back Markets when we ordered this item, but she was moving her business into a larger warehouse. STILL, she shipped our Crossbody Bags on time and in perfect condition. LOVE having these great vendors to work with. This bag is perfect for running around this fall.

A Teal colored Stylus/Pen combination is next. If you’ve been a Subscriber for very long you know that I have a passion for pens and could include one in every box. However, our team keeps me in check so I only choose a couple each year. I love the feel of this pen and with the stylus, it works on your cell phone or tablet to text of make notes.

We’ve included a SackaRoo Reusable Tote that folds up to about nothing and can be kept in your car for grocery runs or in your suitcase to bring home laundry in. We get these from a favorite vendor who is always coming up with cool gadgets.

Our Euroscrubby Multi-Purpose Scrubber is one of the most popular items at Adrian’s! I have several throughout our house, and keep one for kitchen cleaning, one for bathroom cleaning, and one for scrubbing potatoes and carrots so I don’t have to peel. To clean just put on the top each of your dishwasher and it will come out perfect every time!

You VIP Box also has a “Curtain Call” Purse Size LIGHTED Mirror so you can freshen up anywhere! You’ll also find a 3-Pack set of Emery Boards that say “You are AMAZING” and a cute, Artsy Wired PIN with Bead work.

I’ve saved some of the best for last… We’ve got a delicious Country Vegetable Party Dip Mix (yummy!) from the Orange Crate Food Co. AND a bag of Mrs. Weinstein’s Original Butter Toffee POPCORN, which is handmade in Mt. Pleasant, Texas and a favorite with our customers.

I think you will LOVE all of the fun items in this VIP BOX, and hope that it will remind YOU that, whatever you’re going through, you’ve got the strength to FLY! There IS something inside you that is GREATER than any OBSTACLE!

If you’re not yet a Subscriber for Adrian’s VIP BOXES, this is a great month to join! Members get a discounted price of just $35/per box and each box has a value of at least $60. Order in-store or CLICK HERE to order online. (http://www.ShopAdrians.com)

Adrian’s AUGUST VIP BOX Revealed!

24 07 2019

Summer is in full force here in Kansas and our AUGUST VIP BOX is filled with colorful gifts, tart and tasty gourmet items and we have included items that should surprise and delight anyone on your gift giving list (which of course, includes YOU!)

Our yellow and black theme remind me of the kitchen of one of our family friends from my childhood. Their California kitchen always looked so fresh and inviting and I think you will find this box to be filled with sunny treasures inside!

Let’s take a peek…

Everything in the AUGUST VIP BOX is bright and sunshiny and should bring JOY to anyone who opens the box! We have included lots of fun things for you to discover. We start with our black and white buffalo plaid tissue which keeps everything wrapped up and in perfect order. The bright yellow items really pop against the black. Now let’s see what’s inside…

Smartypits Founder and her mom

Smartypits Aluminum-Free Deodorant
When Smartypits founder Stacia Guzzo’s mother discovered she had breast cancer, it was through noticing a lump directly underneath her armpit.

She had no family history of breast cancer or noted genetic predisposition, so Stacia began to do some research to learn more about breast cancer and its risk factors. That was the first time she learned about studies which linked the aluminum in antiperspirants to breast cancer (as well as Alzheimer’s Disease).

At the time, Stacia tried to go aluminum-free herself, but it was a struggle. A dedicated clinical strength-antiperspirant user, Stacia needed something that controlled odor all day, had a smoother application, smelled great, and felt convenient to use.

She didn’t find anything on the market that hit all those marks…
…so a few years later after studying skin care formulation, she created one herself. It would take a few years of trial and error to perfect, but SmartyPits was originally born on a tiny kitchen stovetop in 2014.

Now available in over 900 locations nationwide, SmartyPits is proudly aluminum free, paraben free, phthalate free, and propylene glycol free; in addition, SmartyPits donates $0.30 from every large stick to breast cancer research and free deodorant to oncology centers, survivor support events and non-profit groups.

We’re also thankful to share that Stacia’s mom is now a 13 year cancer warrior and survivor. We hope you’ll join thousands of other women around the country and give the Smartypits Aluminum-Free Deodorant a try!

So, what else will you find as you unwrap the layers in this VIP BOX?

We’ve got a delicious Lemon Cheeseball or Dip Mix for you this time. Back in January at the Atlanta Market, we stumbled across this new flavor from one of our favorite gourmet companies and actually built our August Box around this item! A tart and refreshing burst of lemon paired with fruit, cookies or your imagination. Yum!!!

Also included in this Box is a package of Mississippi Cheese Straw Factory’s #1 selling sweet… Original Lemon Straws…a tasty treat! These “straws” (cookies) begin with a refreshing burst of lemon, then blend it with rich shortbread made with fresh creamery butter, and voila: a straw of extraordinary flavor, twirled in powdered sugar for a sensational finish. Tart, rich, sweet- spectacular in its perfection. An indulgence? To be sure. The ultimate indulgence. And isn’t that what you deserve?

Another set of fun items are our Krumbs brand of handy kitchen tools. We chose a top selling duo in this bright and fun yellow/black combo. First a set of three Krumbs Mini Hands Tongs, which are perfect for summer serving. Use for olives, lemon slices, nuts or ??? They are whimsical, fun and a great conversation starter!

Summer entertaining brings on more than a few piles of dishes that must be done, so we’ve included a fun pair of Krumbs Dotted Yellow and Black Dish Gloves… which might just help your attitude while you’re doing them!

Other goodies…

Next you’ll discover a refreshing Honey Lemon Face Masque which is perfect for taking care of summer skin! Take time to just relax and let the fragrant honey lemon potion work it’s magic!

We have included a pack of our Instant Lip Stick Remover Pads in a pleasant lemon fragrance. It took every bit of lipstick off in one swipe and leaves your lips feeling refreshed!

If you’re traveling this summer, you’ll appreciate the well organized Jewelry Roll with pockets for necklaces, earrings and even a special place to keep your rings as you travel. I think this would be handy to use at home as well as on a trip! Keep your favorite items handy in this roll-up. (Colors will vary on this item).

Your VIP BOX contains TWO Car Cup Coasters featuring a cool and refreshing lemon iced tea design. These absorb moisture from your cups and keep your car cup holders nice and clean! (not shown).

Lastly, we have a nice thick set of three notepads that keep your desk looking fresh and organized. I LOVE fun paper and really could create an entirely separate Subscription Box for paper lovers like myself! This one is one of my favorite finds and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Adrian’s VIP Subscription Boxes make such great gifts and are a wonderful way to treat yourself! Debra, one of our staff members, said that she would USE every single item in this box…and I would tend to agree! Every item is usable, and was chosen to delight anyone who receives this as a gift or purchases for themselves.

Just a reminder… Subscribers can purchase this box for just $35 (value is $65+) or you can purchase as one time gift for $42. Shipping is available anywhere in the US for $8 and we include a hand-written coordinating card with your message on it. Boxes are carefully hand-packed with care.

Adrian’s MAY VIP BOX Revealed!

26 04 2019

We are SUPER EXCITED to unveil our MAY VIP BOX for 2019! With it’s “Diva for the Day” theme, it will be a perfect treat for yourself, or to give as birthday or Mother’s Day gifts for your mom, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, friends or for those “other mother’s” who have been such an influence in our lives.

2019 MAY VIP Postcard

Ready to take a peek inside? We’ve got this month’s UN-BOXING VIDEO ready to go!

As we’re sourcing the gift items that will go into every box, we are always thinking about the person who will be opening the BOX. Our goal is that it always makes them feel like a VIP! Who would you like to make feel like a Very Important Person? The “Diva for a Day” Box will do just that!

Here’s the whole kit & caboodle…

TAILWIND 1080 x 1080-51

From the Leopard tissue paper to the “Diamond” pen and everything in-between, each and every item has been hand picked to delight the recipient! Here’s the story behind each item…

TAILWIND 1080 x 1080-47

We thought the “Daily Grind” Cranberry Cosmo scented Bath Salts were a great choice! Not only does it have a delightful fragrance, the company that makes this is “The Royal Standard” a perfect fit for our Diva Box theme!

Next we have a clear cosmetic pouch that is trimmed in black and features metallic gold polk-a-dots as the design.  This bag is just the right size to help you organize your purse or travel bag.

Our purse mirror comes from a Kansas City vendor who also makes the very popular Willow Tree angels. We love being able to keep it local when it comes to sourcing great products, and think you will love the fun designs of this great quality mirror.

Another DECADENT item for our “Diva Box” is from The Resident Chef in Arkansas… Here’s what they have to say about the Turtle Cheesecake…”Our most popular dessert mix!! The Resident Chef knows you will love this easy to prepare dessert which is chock full of caramels, pecan pieces, and chocolate chips. We love to keep it on hand in case last minute guests drop in. Everything you need to impress your guests or just enough to satisfy your Turtle Cheesecake cravings! With the addition of whipped topping this mix makes an awesome pie mix or great dessert spread for brownies and cakes! The possibilities are endless.” Yummy!

TAILWIND 1080 x 1080-49

Our next group of gift items from the Diva for a Day VIP BOX actually set the theme for the whole box.  Our “Diva” scented Candle and Glamorous Laundry Wash were the first items we chose.  The “Diva” fragrance has been Tyler’s #1 selling fragrance for YEARS, and one sniff will tell you why! Not too perfumey, not too heavy, not too sweet, it is a perfect blend for Diva’s all over the country!

The “Diamond” Pen is the #1 selling item from one of our awesome vendors from Chicago. It certainly makes a statement when you take it out of your purse to write a note or your next $1,000,000 check!

We always like to include a little snack for that instant gratification moment when you open your box, and Sheila G’s Salted Caramel Brownie Brittle takes care of that sweet craving right away! Crunchy, sweet, rich and salty all at the same time. Yum! Perfect sprinkled over vanilla ice cream. (Don’t ask me how I know this!)

TAILWIND 1080 x 1080-48

We’ve saved some of the BEST for last… Our last group of items in this box are some of my favorites! The super-glittery and glamorous nail polish will be perfect on my toes for summer, and the leopard ID and credit card case would look pretty snazzy when I pull it out to pay the bill at dinner!

Our sweet friends from Texas custom designed a label to exactly match our VIP BOX and the package holds a sweet lemonade/tea mixture they call “La Tea Dah”. Delicious!

Lastly, my personal favorite!

“Write in on your heart that EVERY DAY will be the BEST day in the year.”

I love this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson and it is beautifully written on this awesome frame. This piece can either sit on your desk or can be hung on the wall.
