Spring 2023 Veterinary Survival Box review

Veterinary Survival Box

I am a paid subscriber.

My Spring Vet survival Box arrived and my coworkers and I got to open it the other day. This time around we got:

 

Included in this box was:

  • A Bento Box
  • A Stress Less Medative/Relaxation/Affirmation Deck
  • A solar calculator
  • Nuun Electrolyte tablets
  • Sun & Swell Date Energy Bites
  • A Dogs & Cats elastic bracelet
  • and A Pawprint-Semicolon sticker.

My value break down is:

And my reviews:

  • A Bento Box

I love Bento boxes. Like. I am tempted by them every time I see them. and this one is cute as hell, has nice portions that fit my needs for a work lunch box, is microwaveable and made of wheat grass so it’s green and BPA free. Also the utensils are not flimsy or undersized, so it won’t snap when I try to eat a salad.

  • A Stress Less Medative/Relaxation/Affirmation Deck

Some of these are contrived, but honestly it’s not my first deck of self care. I have a deck of yoga exercises, and Affirmations, and have been watching a deck of “self care side quests” on Kickstarter for a bit now. I even made decks of chores for my kids as teens to “gamify” house maintenance.  I do find these and things like these (I also like Finch’s Emotional First aid features) useful for the down moments and given the high rate of depression and suicidal idealizing and worse I think these are genius to include.

  • A solar calculator

This was the first thing yoiked by my coworker/daughter. It is bizarre how often we use calculators despite us all having phones with calculators as well.

  • Nuun Electrolyte tablets

I got the Tropical fruit flavor and…I was not a fan. I absolutely LOVE the idea of electrolyte tablets. I try lots of different kinds of squirts, powders etc to flavor up my water. I have issues with Aspartame and don’t like Stevia, plus try to avoid added sugars, so while I’m game to try and have tried lots of different things like this I’m also kind of picky. These tablets made the water taste like I’d put a fruit rind in it and made it slightly carbonated, neither things I liked. So even if I had tried a different flavor, the carbonation would make me skip it.

  • Sun & Swell Date Energy Bites

I split these with two coworkers (one of whom is my daughter) and they passed with two thirds of us. I thought they were good and would 100% buy more at a reasonable price. They are essentially chopped and blended Cashews and dates with a mild cinnamon flavor. By far not the worst crunchy/keto thing I’ve tried in the last year. Coworker #2 liked them and said they tasted like the smell of a candle store. My daughter was not a fan.

  • A Dogs & Cats elastic bracelet

Yoinked by my coworker with smaller wrists. I do love passing out things to my coworkers when I get my boxes.

  • and A Pawprint-Semicolon sticker.

I know it’s small, but I absolutely adored this.

 

Between the things that were useful, the things that were fun to try, and the things I could share with my coworkers I’m still enjoying my survival boxes and look forward to the next one.
