I've heard friends on Twitter getting excited about the arrival of their Vegan Kind 'goodie box' and so I greeted the opportunity to review one with similar excitement!
If you've yet to discover this innovative idea (the first Vegan one in the UK) it goes a little like this:
You pay a subscription every month and receive a box full of mystery Vegan lifestyle goodies every month!
Brilliantly simple.
Here's what January's box looked like:

| January 2014 Lifestyle subscription box from The Vegan Kind |
With the release of each box (sent out on the 1st of the month to you) the details of the products and their companies go onto The Vegan Kind website, so should you wish to then purchase more, you can find out the details.
If you love trying new things (products and foods etc) and don't get the chance to browse shops - either in town or online as much as you'd like to, then this really would be a great idea for you.
It's a little treat to surprise you each month and introduce you to some fantastic new Vegan products.
Here are the products I received. Interestingly, I have never tried, or even come across, any of them before! And I shop around - so this was really fantastic!

£££The money bit:
You subscribe for a monthly fee of £10.00 (no tie-ins) + £2.95 P&P to receive your box containing from 5-8 products with a combined RRP of more than you've paid (so you're never out of pocket). For your dosh you also get an informative newsletter, a free laminated recipe card (free binder supplied with your third box) and the knowledge that 10p from every box also goes towards a different registered animal charity (chosen by customers) each and every month.
My opinion:
Whilst £12.95 might seem like a lot, I know for a fact I spend this each month just from picking up anything in a shop labelled Vegan and buying it on impulse. So as long as I stop doing this, I might as well let the team at TVK read the small print for me and surprise me with some lovely products. This will also get me to try things I may not have come across before or even thought of '- and this is something that appeals to me. There's a sense of fun about it!
The presentation is lovely, the packaging eco friendly and recyclable - the boxes may even come in handy (they're almost shoe size).
This might even be a great gift idea for the Vegan loved one in your life - better still, the non-Vegan loved one! It's something to show them the variety on offer to us these days and the fact that humans simply don't need to use animals to survive very nicely, thank you.
Top tip: Get yours delivered to your office and create a buzz around opening it infront of colleagues and getting some great convos started ;)
So, all in all a lovely idea, and given the emergence of more and more Vegan companies with new Vegan products every day, TVK should be able to offer something new and exciting for the foreseeable (Vegan) future!
