The Willie Wags is a new subscription box that features and gives back to women owned small businesses. Expect to receive home goods, office supplies, clothing, beauty, books, stationery, office décor and even non-tangible experiences. The Willie Wags was founded by Jamie Clark, a 30-something mommy, wife and multi-tasking maven. After years of owning her own small retail business, the concept was created one snowy Saturday afternoon at her dining room table after a long conversation with a local small business consultant. Jamie believed a new retail concept based loosely on funky Maine dialect and expressions could help busy professional women discover, explore and support other female entrepreneurs. Not only is it The Willie Wags' mission to spotlight, market, sell and distribute products from these women-owned small businesses it is their intention to give back and help them grow!

This is the very first box from The Willie Wags and I was super excited to see inside! Something smells good!
I like how each item is tied with white and gold string and includes individual info cards on each business.
Levant Corner Store Whoopie Pies
$6
Wow, these are huge! The Whoopie Pies are made by a small women owned convenience store and restaurant in Levant, Maine. They've been voted People's Choice for the last three years running at the Annual State of Maine Whoopie Pie Festival. I tried the Plain Jane and it was very yummy!
The Bangle Bear Silver Cuff
$15
This bracelet is designed by a creative sister duo to address the unsightly hair tie dilemma. Instead of putting your hair tie on your wrist you put it on the bracelet - fashionable and functional. The bracelet can be adjusted to fit all wrist sizes.
Parrot Design Studio Notepads
$13
Notepads, lists, I use them all the time! I think I have far too many on-the-go which can be a problem at times, but that won't stop me from using these. The "Done is Better Than Perfect" list has gold on the edges, so fancy! The smaller one says, "Don't Quit Your Day Dream". Both are so cute and I will use them for sure!
Cynthia Bogart Limited Edition Numbered & Signed Artwork
$45
This signed and numbered print is titled, "You are your fiercest warrior" and is part of an upcoming, not yet released, deck of collectible playing cards called "Of Kings and Queens" soon to be on Cynthia's etsy page! I've received many prints from boxes, mostly with quotes or inspirational sayings, but this one I absolutely love! I love every detail and am going to frame it immediately!
LG Design Water Bottle Decal
$6
This water bottle decal is a great idea! Just put it on your bottle to keep you on track to hitting your daily water consumption goal.
"Make It Happen" by Lara Casey
$15.99
This book is written by Lara Casey, an inspirational speaker and publisher of Southern Weddings Magazine. It's a motivational/faith-based book which may not appeal to everyone, but I'm sure there are many inspiring things one could take away from reading this book.
Passion Planner 2016 Undated Planner
$29.99
This looks like the planner of all planners and I love it! I prefer planners that are undated, so right there this is great for me. The planner goes beyond the norm of documenting daily to-dos, it's a tool that will help you clearly define your goals and dreams, break them down into actionable steps and write them in a place you will see everyday.
It starts off with a Your Passion Roadmap - a step-by-step guide to mapping out your goals. You have a monthly and weekly section, as well as a Monthly Reflection section that asks you questions like how you feel overall about the past month, biggest lessons learned, things you are grateful for etc...In the back there is note and graph pages with a pocket inside the back cover. It's such a wonderfully made planner that I know I will use and treasure for years!
Wow, The Willie Wags inaugural box blew me away! It was such a joy to go through everything and I had fun discovering these awesome small businesses! I love seeing new boxes come out with a bang and The Willie Wags certainly did that! I love everything about this subscription box, the concept, the packaging, the curation, even the value is impressive at over $130! What a great way to discover and support women-owned businesses! On top of that, 20% of the proceeds from each box subscription goes directly back to help fund growth opportunities for female small business owners in need of assistance. If you're interested in this box, you can order the March Box as a one-time purchase for $59.99. Don't forget to use code: GIRLMEETSBOX10 for the March Box or any of the subscription plans!
