Unboxme sent me this self care gift box to try. One of my best friends just had a hysterectomy, and if I’d known about these sooner, I would have sent her one.
Opening it was so much fun. Every item came out nicer than the last.
Quick Verdict
- Buy it if: the person you’re thinking of loves a cozy night in with something warm to sip
- Skip it if: they don’t drink tea, since a lot of the box is built around it
- My favorite feature: the mug, which turned into my favorite one
- Would I buy again? Yes, as a gift
What Makes the Unboxme Box Feel Put Together
Look how nice it’s packed. Everything is Tetrised in there, and lifting the tissue to see it all fit together was so satisfying.
Unboxme is a female-founded company, and each box is hand-packed with things from small businesses in the US.
Unboxme Self Care Gift Box With Chai, Socks and a Mug
A tea-themed care package with a ceramic mug and a few cozy extras. It shows up ready to give.
What Comes in the Unboxme Self Care Box?
- Tea: happytea masala chai, a blend of black tea, cinnamon, ginger root and cardamom, 10 sachets
- Honey: Wilkin & Sons Tiptree pure honey, 1 oz jar
- Cinnamon sticks: a small bundle tied with twine
- Mug: 12 oz ceramic mug
- Socks: ultra soft cloud socks
- Candle: 3 oz hand-poured soy candle in sea salt and sage
- Bath bomb: handmade, oatmeal honey
- Card: a “sending warm hugs” card
- Packaging: arrives packed and ready to give
Who Should You Send the Unboxme Box To?
Anyone who needs a pick-me-up. Someone home recovering from surgery, someone who’s been under the weather, or someone who’s just had a rough stretch.
If you’d like to tuck in a little extra pampering, the Maskiss eye patches I tried come individually wrapped, so a few of them slip easily into a gift.
Shipping it as a holiday gift? The free holiday gift planner I made on Admin Arcade helps you count back to an order-by date for everyone you’re mailing to.
What I Still Use From the Unboxme Box
The mug. It’s my favorite mug now. The glazed part is super smooth, the bottom is rougher bare ceramic, and I like the way it feels to hold.
I wear the cloud socks too. They’re ultra soft and super comfy. And I’ve gone through the chai and the honey, with a cinnamon stick to stir.
Little Touches I Noticed
- A card you can reuse: it’s a beautiful card, and the back is blank.
- Sachets, not loose leaf: the chai comes in little individual sachets inside a tin, so there’s nothing to measure.
- Scents: the sea salt and sage candle and the bath bomb both smell so good.
Not sure what to write on the back of that card? Pick who it’s for and the tone, and this writer hands you a few lines to copy.
What I Liked Most
- The theme. Chai, cinnamon sticks and a mug all go together, which is perfection to me
- If I got this in the mail, I’d be absolutely ecstatic
What If They Don’t Drink Tea or Caffeine?
- It’s a tea box at heart. If they skip caffeine, you could add a caffeine-free tea like the ENZO Crimson Harvest tea I tried. If they only want a little, the Enzo jasmine green tea pearls are low caffeine. If they don’t drink tea at all, one of the spa boxes below fits better.
Unboxme Gift Box Questions
Does the chai in the Unboxme box have caffeine?
Yes. It’s a masala chai made with black tea, so it has caffeine.
Can I ship the Unboxme box directly to a friend?
Yes. Ship it to their address and it shows up packed and ready to hand over, with no wrapping needed.
Will my box have the exact same items as yours?
Probably, but not always. If an item runs out, Unboxme puts in a similar one of equal or greater value.
Is the Unboxme box a good gift for someone recovering from surgery?
Yes, that’s who I’d pick it for first. Warm chai, soft socks and a candle are all things you can enjoy without getting up off the couch.
Can I build my own Unboxme box?
Yes, on Unboxme’s own website. Their Build a Box option lets you choose at least three items and they hand-pack them, so you could skip the tea for someone who isn’t a tea person.

Would I Send the Unboxme Box to Someone I Love?
Yes. I think they did an excellent job on this box, and I’d send it to any of my loved ones who need a lift.
