Why I Put Together the Mother Earth Mystery Boxes

I love a little surprise in an order. If you’ve bought from Mother Earth before, you’ll know I like popping in something extra when I can.

That’s where the idea for these boxes came from. I wanted to put together a few different ways to explore the range, with enough choice that you know the kind of things you’re getting and enough of a surprise to make opening it fun.

Some are little treats for yourself. Others might be a nice gift for someone who enjoys cacao, tea or trying something new.

What’s in a Mother Earth mystery box?

It depends on the one you choose. We’ve put together different ideas around ceremonial cacao, tea, drink powders, mushroom products and our ceramic mugs. Some boxes are smaller; others have a bit more in them.

Each listing tells you the main products, and we add a little gift as the surprise. The world cacao box lets you choose an origin, with a little extra in the parcel. The main products may also appear at checkout.

We use photographs of our own products to give you an idea. The exact combination can vary, so have a look at the description rather than assuming every box is identical to the picture.

For the cacao person

Cacao was where Mother Earth started, so there had to be a cacao box in there. Our cacao mystery boxes include smaller Ecuador treats, Guatemalan 454g choices and a world cacao surprise.

Add a mug, a tea or a powder and you have a nice way to try a few things together. If you’re new to cacao, our free cacao guide is a handy place to start.

Tea, powders and a proper mug

I know not everyone wants cacao, so there are tea and powder boxes too. Think chamomile, chai, Hojicha or a colourful fruit powder, depending on the box. There’s a tea and mug option where you can choose your mug colour as well.

If you’re choosing for somebody else, check the possible ingredients and whether they like the products. Matcha and Hojicha contain caffeine; the individual listings give the details.

Matcha, Shilajit and a little Christmas surprise

There are boxes for Matcha lovers and for people who enjoy Shilajit too. For a smaller Christmas or Kris Kindle present, the cosy cup box is a good place to start.

I've also put together a couple of value boxes with the main products listed clearly. You get to see what you're buying and there's still a little surprise from me in the parcel.

Tinctures and Ayurveda-inspired gifts

I've added tincture and Ayurveda mystery boxes too, including Lion’s Mane with chai and small Shilajit pairings. The Blue Lotus and lavender box is a separate botanical gift: the Blue Lotus tincture is for external and aromatic use only, and the spray is for bedding. Check the directions on each product.

A word about clearance

Some of our clearance products are short-dated. If a mystery box contains one, the best-before date is clearly stated on its own listing. I’d rather you know that before ordering, especially if you’re buying a gift for later.

For Christmas, our Christmas gift guide has other ideas too. Check the dates before choosing a short-dated product as a present.

Not sure about a surprise?

That’s fair enough. If you’d rather know exactly what’s in the parcel, have a look at our bundles or wellness gift boxes instead.

And if a surprise sounds like your thing, you can explore the Mother Earth mystery boxes and see which one feels right.

Thanks for supporting a small Irish business. Every order means a lot.
