Secret Garden Box

If you have dietary restrictions or are even slightly a picky eater, I might skip this one. There were multiple items included that I can't use because of dietary restrictions (Anchovies/spicy peppers, etc).

The picture on the product makes it look like there would be a bottle of something like olive oil inside, but that was not the case with my purchase. I was very happy with one item in the box, which was probably the most expensive. But I'm not really an "olives" person so even the fancy jar of olives was lost on me.

Overall, it was fun to experience the surprise and I'm a fan of the honey that was included but I think a better surprise box would include some non-pantry items like soaps, lotions, or even something small like a decorative object or something else surprising that isn't limited by dietary restrictions.

My favorites have been the olives, the saffron honey and tomato jam. A few of the other things I have yet to try. I may leave the anchovies for my husband. I’m sure everything will be great. We are thinking about trying out some of the other boxes as well. I’m also enjoying the newsletter

This was a fun splurge, but for the price, I would have liked to know what was included in the box. A lot of the products were pretty small and it felt a little like receiving a box of promo sizes or testers. That said, the olive oil is yummy and the olives were good, but I don't think I would order either product again by itself. I ended up gifting most of the contents to other people which was a bit of a bummer. But HUGE shout out to Flamingo Estate customer service who just right in to help me when the chili oil arrived leaked all over the package, and gifted me my favorite candle as an apology. I absolutely adore this brand and everything about it, and I commend the fun of doing this for customers, but in the future, I'll buy products where I can see what exactly I'll receive in advance.
