Each month, a select number of subscribers are randomly chosen to receive an extra cool item inside their Stay Regular Monthly Mystery Box! (This applies to both Mini and Regular-size subscriptions.) This card provided details on what surprise is upcoming for August – and the rules have changed! To be in the running for the surprise, you need to post a photo on Facebook following the directions and using hashtag #TDDMINIJULY

The Regular is a new feature, first appearing in the July 2017 Mini Monthly Box of Awesome!

Here is Volume 1, Issue 1 of The Regular. This is a really fun page with a word search and Summer Trivia on the front and a mystery story on the back. The mystery story is a full page and you have a month to figure out Who Dun It! The answer will be revealed in the next monthly issue!

Measure It! Tape 32 inches ($7.06)

This is a 32″ roll of sticky measuring tape that can be repositioned easily with no backer to peel off. Such a great idea – this lets you keep an accurate measurement and work with hands free when you do your DIY projects and crafts. Plus you can use it on fabric for more accuracy in your sewing projects – something I am eager to try! I always find it so difficult to keep my measurements accurate when I am using both hands to cut fabric – so this tape sounds perfect!

Cobble Creek US – Magic Top Bottle Pourer ($9.99)

This is a clever gadget to attach to your beverage containers that turns them into automatic drink dispensers. It would be perfect for children, elderly, or disabled persons so they wouldn’t have to struggle with lifting heavy containers or spillage when they try to pour. It is reusable and not difficult to clean but I would be really concerned about long term bacteria build-up (especially with milk usage) because you can never get a tube completely clean.

Eames – 10 pc Travel Kit ($3.99)

This is a travel toiletry kit with a variety of little things that you might need on the road (or plane). It is DOT approved for carry-on so you can get it on board your flight. The pretty red case is retro designed in the Eames (mid-century modern) style and measures 6″ wide X 5 1/2 inches tall with a zipper closure. The contents include some very inexpensive basics –  a pair of soft woven socks, sleep mask, travel comb, tissues, refreshing towelette, travel toothbrush/toothpaste, lip balm, ear plugs, and a ball point pen.

The retail value of the July 2017 Mini Stay Regular Monthly Mystery Box came in at $21.04. I thought it had some very useful items though, germaphobe that I am, I probably won’t use the bottle pourer. We travel a lot so I always appreciate travel items. So many times I have wished dearly for those ear plugs, too! All in all, a great little subscription box with good value for the cost paid!
