In the busyness of the holidays, we are behind in our reveal of past boxes so showcasing our November box reveal and all of the wonderful products we paired with The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce 

We thoroughly enjoyed this love story between Frank and Ilse and the characters' love of music and vinyl. We curated a box that showcased the location, the characters and of course, music. 

London Tea Co. – While there isn’t a specific tea flavor mentioned we couldn’t do a box set in the suburbs of London, England without a great cup of tea included.

Kawartha Lakes Fudge Co. – Chocolate Fudge – While sweets don’t play into this story at all, we wanted to include a favorite of our readers and bring back fudge. Why chocolate? Because it is classically delicious - like music for your mouth! 

Socksmith Co. – For the Record socks – The perfect socks to wear while reading this novel and to show your love for vinyl all year long.

Bee By the Sea – Body Cream – Ilse has problems with her hands. She puts lotion on them and keeps them covered. We thought this amazing body cream that combines Sea Buckthorn and honey would be perfect for Ilse as it has been successful in relieving various skin conditions. We know you’ll love this Canadian company's products too.

Kikkerland - Guitar pen – Write your own music with this rockin’ pen. Perfect for writing about your passion or sending a letter to a friend you’ve lost touch with.
