We could all use a little dose of “Molta Felicita” or Much Happiness! right now… Our April VIP BOX will deliver just the dose that you need and will bring happiness to whomever you surprise with this BOX!
Months ago, as we were planning this BOX with it’s beautiful Italian theme, we had no idea that today Italy would be in crisis with the United States following in it’s footsteps.
Adrians APRIL VIP BOX
We have included the following Italian Blessing in your April VIP BOX…
BREAD… May those in your home never go hungry WINE… May you always have joy and never go thirsty SALT…May there always be flavor and spice in your life HONEY…May you always enjoy the sweetness of life OLIVE OIL… May you be blessed with health and well being
In light of today’s global crisis, I think the above blessing is so appropriate. We wish our family and friends all of the above and as things are changing daily, we want to wish them Much Happiness!
Let’s see what is included in the APRIL VIP BOX…
Adrians April VIP BOX
This month’s BOX features some of Italy’s most beloved items… delicious gourmet foods, olive oil based bath & spa items, a unique key ring, and a unique desktop art set to keep you on your toes.
Let’s start with the delicious goodies… Dessert FIRST!
Wind & Willow’s very popular White Chocolate Amaretto Cheeseball and Dessert Mix. You can EASILY make this to serve at your next family gathering. It is perfect made as a cheeseball served with vanilla wafers or other sweet cookies, or make it as a pie in a graham cracker crust. So fast to make and delicious!
Next we have Organic Pasta that will cook up beautifully and when served with our yummy Gourmet Marinara Pasta Sauce it is the base for a delicious Italian style meal. Serve with grilled chicken, add a few veggies if you like and you’re good to go! Yum!
Italian women are some of the most beautiful in the world! It just might be their creative use of Olive Oil as skin care for centuries. We’ve included a full sized bar of our Olive Oil based soap along with an Olive Oil face masque. We could all use a little pampering right now to remove those stress lines!
We have included a very nice set of wooden handled makeup brushes to give you some special tools for applying your makeup. It’s nice to have a few luxury items in your “toolkit”. 🙂
Lastly, Italy is known for it’s beautiful artwork and we have a unique cubed desk art set that will keep your hands and mind busy trying to solve the puzzle. When you’re on the go, you can take a little Italian inspired art with the unique key chain that we’ve included.
We hope this beautiful box does bring you “Molta Felicita!” and that it is uplifting and inspiring to you or anyone you choose to surprise with this VIP BOX!
I absolutely LOVE the January VIP Box! We started working on it last summer and it is so fun to (finally) see it come together! We started shipping boxes yesterday and I can’t wait to hear back from our customers to see how THEY like it!
The January VIP BOX theme is “Silver White Winters that Melt into Spring… These are a few of my Favorite Things” and (as always), we have hand picked each individual item in the box.
These are a few of my favorite things…
I love the COLORS, the fresh DESIGN and all of the goodies in our first VIP BOX of not just 2020, but the entire DECADE! Let’s take a peek to see what’s inside!
Silver and White Fringed Scarf
We found this gorgeous, lightweight winter scarf from one of our favorite vendors out of Houston, Texas. They make a very high quality line of clothing and accessories, and this particular scarf really caught our eye. It’s fringed, houndstooth design is right on trend, and the feel of the fabric is awesome!
Charcoal Cross Body Sling Bag
One of the most popular items in our store, and a trend all around the country is the cross body sling bag. We found this compact sling bag in a beautiful charcoal color and loved the fabric design. It was actually the first item we sourced for this particular box and ordered it way back last August! We hope you enjoy this bag for running errands, on vacation and that you use it so much you wear it out!
The filled box
Other items include very soft socks, a “warm and cozy” pink mug and a sweet acrylic snowflake ornament that you could hang in a sunny window. We chose to have less items in this box and have very high quality on the items that we selected.
We hope you love this one as much as we did! Several of our staff members have said that this is their favorite box that we’ve done! We would LOVE to hear what your thoughts are!
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you would like to order extra boxes, please do so as soon as possible! Remember that we can ship your VIP BOXES anywhere in the US for just $8, and each gift box includes a hand-written, themed card with your message on it.
Until next time… Happy January!

Let’s just say that the elves at Adrians have been very busy and the head elf (Vicki) did not get her blog post done anywhere near the time that it should have been done. My apologies! We have, however, been crazy busy BUILDING and SHIPPING the December Boxes…which is even more important!
This task kept moving from one days to-do list to the next day’s list and then repeated over and over. We finally got pictures taken yesterday, then had a group of ladies for an event last night, so I am finally getting this post written! Thank you to everyone who has been so patient!
Adrians 2019 December VIP BOX
I absolutely LOVE the theme of this year’s “Believe” Buffalo Plaid Box. This is absolutely on-trend this season, but it is not new. Buffalo plaid originated from none other than Woolrich Woolen Mills. The company began producing the Buffalo Check shirt around 1850, which means we’ve been rocking this plaid for over 150 years now!
Nestled in rural Pennsylvania, the Woolrich woolen mills have been pumping out quality woolen goods since the early nineteenth century, making the brand the oldest continous manufacturer of outdoor clothing in the United States. Interesting!
Our DECEMBER VIP BOX truly lets you put your gift-giving on auto-pilot this Christmas! Perfect gift for daughters, mom, sisters, gift-exchange, for your boss, your babysitter, your children’s teacher and any woman who you just want to bless with a fun surprise!
We ship your VIP BOX anywhere in the US for just $8, and include a hand written beautiful card inside…
Boxes are shipped between the 5th and 10th of each month, and they can also be picked up at either our Buhler or Wichita locations.
Now, let’s see what’s INSIDE the December VIP BOX…
Adrians 2019 December VIP BOX
Our cute Buffalo Plaid theme is carried out throughout the BOX and we have included items that are perfect for the Holiday Season and on into the winter months…
Your VIP BOX contains…
Buffalo Plaid Apron
Our Buffalo Plaid Apron with two generous pockets. This is the same apron our Adrians Boutique team wears in-store every Christmas. It washes beautifully, and is a true workhorse! Made in great fabric and so on-trend! Whether you are an aspiring cook, or just want to look the part for the holidays, this is your apron!
ho ho ho bag
The very FIRST item we picked for our 2019 December VIP Box is this Ho-Ho-Ho Bag… we found this last January at the Atlanta Market and knew it HAD to go in our December Box. Just the perfect size to use as a purse for Christmas Shopping, or to wrap up a special gift for someone this season. It truly embodies the spirit of the season.
Deanan’s Gourmet Popcorn
Yum! Yum! Yum! This is the 2nd time we have featured one of Deanan’s Gourmet Popcorn items in a VIP BOX. This is an award winning, amazing family business and their goodies are so delicious!
Deanna Gourmet Popcorn Video
Some of you might want to watch this video from their Factory Tour… 2,000 pounds of popcorn are used every shift! We’re not the only ones who are addicted to their popcorn!
Embroidered Snowman Tea Towel
We’ve talked many times about the relationship we have with our vendors…This Embroidered Snowman Towel is from one of our favorites… Brenda and Gene from Iowa. They have been excited about and helped us with our VIP BOXES from the very beginning and continue to bring some great items for us to consider. We thought this waffle weave towel was just perfect to include. It can be used through January to brighten your kitchen (or give as a hostess gift this holiday), then put it away…like Frosty, it will be just as welcome next year!
Lighted Snowman Canvas
Another item that we knew was a MUST HAVE waaaaaay back last January was this Lighted Snowman Canvas. We visited this showroom several times to finally narrow it down to this cute little Snowman. Lighted canvas has been a HOT CATEGORY in gift-giving all year, but this little guy melted our heart.
Buffalo Plaid Earrings
Normally we don’t repeat the same type of product two months in a row, but we made an exception for these super trendy Buffalo Plaid Earrings! We had included another very trendy style (Animal Print) in our November VIP BOX, and once we saw these, knew we HAD to include them in the DECEMBER VIP BOX! These on-trend earrings are so lightweight and easy to wear, and the Buffalo Plaid style keeps them on-trend for the entire winter season! Love these!!!
Metal Snowman Bell Ornament
It’s crazy, but our Metal Snowman Bell Ornament was also snagged way back last January at the Atlanta Market. With many of these items, the only way to make sure you will have the product you want is to order way ahead…especially when you are packing Subscription Boxes! We saw this item in one of our favorite showrooms up on a fireplace mantle decorated with sparkling lights and beautiful greenery. We knew right away that we wanted to include him in this year’s DECEMBER VIP BOX, and hope he brings you a touch of joy this season.
Hand Written Card
Remember that each VIP BOX you send includes a hand-written, beautiful card that matches the theme of each month’s VIP BOX. We want to make gift-giving as simple as possible, but also want it to retain the hand-picked, personalized gift you would want to give.
Get your orders in right away for your December 2019 VIP BOXES!

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.

It’s here! Your SNEAK PEEK for Adrians Boutique’s September VIP Subscription Box! We have chose the theme “Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful” for this month in honor of the thousands of women we get to work with each year. Â Our customers are beautiful inside and out!
Our AUGUST VIP BOX sold out earlier than any of Adrian’s earlier boxes and it looks like September will also be an early sell out. Â People have asked why we don’t just make more boxes, and that is a great question! Â We carefully curate the items in every box and orders for the products must be made months in advance. Â Because the variety of items in each BOX come from many vendors, we can’t always get access to more product in a timely fashion. Â We ARE working hard to up our quantities for the Fall Season, and would greatly appreciate your help in ordering early.
STOP!
If you want to be SURPRISED when your BOX arrives … here is where you need to stop scrolling! Â We are going to reveal most of the items in our September BOX below! Ba-Bye!!!
O
Our September Box was carefully curated and we hope you will LOVE what we’ve found for you or whomever you are giving this month’s BOX to!
Hello Beautiful! Your September BOX has some of our favorite items (Makeup Removing Cloth, Light Up Tweezers, and a sweet hummingbird necklace) and some NEW items like Deanan’s Pecan Almond Crunch Popcorn and some FUN Makeup to try!
We also have several other VIP Gift Boxes that are available for year-round gift giving! Our Best of Kansas Box has been shipped far and wide to people who want a little taste of Kansas, and our upcoming WINE BOX will be a great gift for the Wine Lover in your life!
