First, you are probably asking yourself the same thing I did: what the heck is a Vivabox? Well, to put it simply, a vivabox is awesome. Okay, I will elaborate. A vivabox is, essentially a themed gift box that features two layers of gifts. The themes offered by Vivabox are diverse, spanning from a spa theme to a wine theme to a BBQ theme. Naturally, I am reviewing the tea-themed gift box known as " Vivabox Tea Time". As I mentioned earlier, this is a two-layered gift that is delivered in an attractive box. The first layer included in the Tea Time gift set is a fantastic variety of Numi brand tea bags. There are two samples of each of five individually-packaged different tea bags, as well as two different flowering teas. Together, the 12 tea samples offer a full spectrum of black, oolong, green, white, and rooibos teas. Although I am typically not a huge fan of bagged tea, the Numi teas tend toward the higher end of the quality spectrum. As a seasoned tea drinker, I quite appreciated the diversity of tea types and flavors; for those new to tea, the samples provide a comprehensive introduction to the wonderful world of tea and the diversity of flavors and tea varieties available. Essentially, the first layer of this gift is intended to familiarize the recipient with tea, so that the second layer, a gift card displayed in the middle of the box, can be redeemed for one of five tea-related gifts best suited to the recipient's tastes. The recipient can "cash in" the gift card for a tea set (featuring loose tea and a ceramic teapot and cups), a bamboo tea set (consisting of nine flowering teas and a small glass teapot in a mahogany bamboo case), a flowering tea gift set (featuring a large glass display teapot and a set of flowering teas), a bamboo book of tea (which is a bamboo portfolio filled with tea bags in six different flavors), or an "iRelax" gift set (consisting of 16 Organic and Fair Trade teas paired with an hour-long CD of relaxing music). Each of the gifts was so tempting, that I found it hard to decide which one I would want. In the end, I opted for the ceramic tea pot and loose tea set, which I am excitedly awaiting to receive in the mail. The idea of a Vivabox is truly a great concept, because while the basic theme of the gift is determined by the gift-giver, the actual present (or at least most of it) is directly customized by the recipient, ensuring that he/she gets what he/she will most enjoy. In addition to the wonderfful tea and teaware that I obtained as a result of receiving the Vivabox Tea Time giftbox, my receiving a Vivabox for myself just made my holiday shopping a whole lot easier. At $45 per box, the Vivabox Tea Time gift set makes a wonderful, yet affordable, gift for the holiday season. I plan to take full advantage of these creative and high-quality gift boxes for various friends and family members.
