Genie's Snacks Subscription Box

I am thankful for having met Joey, my business partner, for creating this snacks subscription box, because if it wasn't for her, this snacks subscription box would not be able to launch so quickly! So, this is how we met...

Hubby and I went for our belated honeymoon trip to Egypt during Chinese New Year 2013, and during our trip, we met a few friends. We became friends when we always asked them to help us take photos, and vice versa, and also because we were all around the same age (although hubby and I were the youngest in the whole tour). Even after the trip, we would still meet up every now and then, and also celebrate each other's birthdays! During one of our gatherings, I mentioned that I wanted to create a snacks subscription box, and Joey suddenly came up with so many ideas for my box, and that was when we decided to work together!

We had so many ideas, but it was so hard to put all the ideas together. One of the major problems we had was to think of a name for our subscription box - we wanted something simple yet innovative!

We spent so many days thinking of a name for our box, but it suddenly came to me one day:
ABCDEat which stands for Asian Box Can Do Eat (It)

The next problem we had was to design the logo! I'm not much of a designer, so I asked an old (online) friend to help out! I drew out how I wanted my logo to look like on paper, and my friend is going to help us make it professionally!

I'm quite an indecisive person, so it was slightly difficult deciding how big we wanted our boxes to be, how they were going to look like, and how thick the cardboard was going to be. We have finally concluded on all of those things, and we are ready to launch our first box soon, hopefully in time for Halloween!! Our logo design is still in progress, but we will launch our Trial Box first!!! Please note that our Trial Box will be a size smaller than our usual boxes, and is mainly created for feedback & review purposes.

We intend to have four different sizes of boxes:
Mini Box - these are going to be the prizes for our giveaway
Trial Box - these are going to be for feedback & review purposes
The Box - these are going to be the size of the usual boxes
Premier Box - these are great for a special gift or a monthly treat

Our first snacks subscription box is launching on Wednesday 1 October, 2014 and we are super excited!!!


We have also prepared 10 Mini Boxes as prizes to give away on our social networking websites:

So, do keep a watch out for any updates on our box and also the giveaways!!!

Thank you and have a nice day!!!

MEMEBOX SUPERBOX #53 MY HONEY BOX UNBOXING

Seeing how popular the first Honey Box from Memebox went, I instantly caved in when this box came out...

Memebox Superbox #53 My Honey Box


I was slightly disappointed with this box actually, because I already have a few too many hand creams and peeling gels at home, and another Pure Smile Lip Treatment that I have hardly used. I love honey scented products, but the items inside this box don't seem to have that kind of smell at all!!! This box is not exactly the best box I have received!!!

For more information on Memebox, please visit their website:

Here are my $5 off codes if you haven't used them already: AQM4 and MVD6


Thank you, and have a nice day!!!

WISHLIST: WISH BOX (NO. 21) X SKIN&LAB 2

I've been eyeing this box for quite a while now, and it has been sitting in my wish list all this time, but I still haven't purchased it yet.




This box contains:

1) SKIN&LAB A Plus Lifting 30ml



Effects: Anti-ageing, Collagen Synthesis, Elasticity Improvement, Skin Texture/Improvement, Wrinkle Improvement

2) SKIN&LAB B Plus Trouble-X 30ml

This is truly a Vitamin Box, and it is selling for USD49.99. There is a shipping fee to the box, but if I purchase an item from the Free Shipping Zone, then I can get free shipping on my whole order!! Another great thing about Wishtrend!!!


The reason why I'm tempted to buy this box:
You can mix the different creams together according to your skin condition!



The reason why I still haven't purchased this box:
I'm not good with remembering which products to mix together to get a certain effect, and the price is slightly high (as compared to a Memebox).



What do you guys think? Do you guys think I should get it?

Market Research For Genie's Snacks Subscription Box

I love eating snacks, and I have been looking around for snacks subscription boxes that ship worldwide, but there weren't many which were wiling to ship worldwide. Seeing this was the case, I am planning to create my own Asian Snacks Subscription Box, but your opinion is very important to me, so I have created a short questionnaire, so it would be highly appreciated if you could help me answer all the questions, so that I can launch my box as soon as possible!!
Thank you so much!!!
