We started making seasonal boxes as a way to send new things to my mother and my friends. It was a place for us to play, and have some fun, and try new ideas. We began selling them a couple of years ago because so many people had asked for them. Today, our Seasonal Subscription Box is our most requested product.
They remain a joy for us to make each season, and we really do get to play and experiment. This season I was curious about CALM, and how to find it in difficult times. We had just endured the fires in Los Angeles, and I needed to turn my racing mind off.
Here are the tools I made for calm: In it, you’ll find a Candle and Soap inspired by the scent of our bee smoker, which we fill with Lavender. A Honey made from the nectar of Avocado Flowers, and a Smoked Seasoning Salt from Big Sur Salts. You will also find a Body Wash and Lotion made from Lavender, Rosemary, and Sage. And finally, a Lavender Dream Spray, for when you need to go to sleep and dream of magical things.
Give your friend or lover (or yourself) the gift an annual subscription with all four Seasonal Boxes: Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
These past months have been stressful for all of us. It got me thinking about how to calm my racing mind, relax my anxiety, sleep deeper, and dream bigger.
The orchard gave me some clues. When we open the Beehives to harvest Honey, the Bees get tremendously anxious. Every Beekeeper has a smoker — used to relax the Bees. We add Lavender to ours, which is the secret ingredient. Rich in Linalool, it has a mild sedative effect, soothing the Bees and keeping the calm.
This was the inspiration for our Seasonal Subscription Box. It’s a collection of tools from the garden to calm our anxious minds, keep ourselves moving, and nourish our sense of calm. We need that feeling more than ever.
The Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer box each conjure the feeling of each Season. Spring is renewal. Summer is harvest. Autumn is change. Winter is introspection. With the Season in mind, we curate each box to honor and reflect its best scents and flavors.
The moment I opened my first subscription box it was evident the passion and care that goes into every detail. Each item tells a story with intention and reverence for the earth. A love letter to nature and I'm here for it!
I heard about Flamingo Estate recently on a podcast and I knew I had to check them out. The seasonal box is so lovely and is a good showcase for all the items they have to offer. I’m looking forward to receiving this box each season.
Elegant and timely arrival - the host very much enjoyed the gift
This review is for the January-March 2025 box. This was my first box and I am beyond blown away. I used all of the body products and it felt like my own personal spa day at home. I ended my self-care night by dousing my bed linens with the linen spray. The scent is just divine. I tried the honey on toast earlier, with a sprinkling of the black salt. I have yet to light the candle, but if it is anything like my previous Flamingo Estate candles, I know it will be nothing short of wonderfully scented bliss. I can’t wait for the next box!
Newly in love with the brand, the products feel approached, made and designed with so much care in love- I’m obsessed now and am giving sets as gifts and they are welcomed with the same level of excitement.
