I know I said I was taking a break from subscription boxes but I couldn’t resist these gorgeous Woodland Adventures from Artemis & Xena. I first came across Artemis & Xena when I saw their fabulous Unicorn box reviewed on Boxes and Swatches blog – after which I had to order my own immediately. I’m so delighted that their Woodland Adventures box is of an equally high standard, so without further ado, let’s dive in.
Artemis & Xena
For those who don’t know, the quarterly Artemis & Xena boxes are aimed at teens and women, and focus on well-being, comfort and positivity. Priced at £19.99 plus P&P, you’re not tied into a subscription, you buy the boxes as a one-off purchase, unless you buy the annual prepay subscription. The company strongly believes in empowering girls and women and 10% of profits are donated to a women’s charity. If you don’t want to treat yourself (why on earth not?) then you can always gift a loved one, or just browse their online shop.
Woodland Adventures Spring box contents
First up in the Spring box is this “Do more of what makes you happy” Bear on a Bike tin. It’s so sweet, I can see all kinds of trinkets being stored in there (if Flora doesn’t nab it from me first). Alongside it is the equally cute metal “Follow your dreams” Fox on a Bike plaque that you could hang anywhere – currently it’s above my desk for daily motivation. And, yes, the chocolate gold coins came in the box too, although they were demolished the second I finished taking all the photos for this post!

Next up is a lovely little leather Hedgehog manicure set, a Badger nail file (you might get a Bear, Fox or Raccoon), and some voluminous false eyelashes. I’m useless at applying these so they might be a re-gift but everything else is very handbag worthy – although I’m rather reluctant to use that fab little nail file.
How cute are these four animal coasters? They’re heavy too, made from some kind of resin that looks and feels like stone. I love the vintage look and feel, and the colours would fit beautifully in any room.
Still on the Indian-style animals, we have these sweet little gift tags – ideal for any child’s gift (although I’d be pretty happy if my presents arrived with the fox tags in particular).
And lastly, we have a whole heap of stationery goodies: monthly planner cards, motivational quote cards, a to-do list, a 2018 action plan, a handy pocket size fox notepad, and a kitten card – which bizarrely matches a mug Flora was given for Christmas. I guess I won’t be keeping that then.
Final thoughts
I don’t know what the retail value of all these beautiful products totals but I’ve guesstimated it’s around £45, so I think the box is amazing value. I’m so impressed with my Woodland Adventures box, it’s every bit as lovely as Artemis & Xena’s gorgeous Unicorn box from last year. The Unicorns have long since sold out (sob, sob) but if you’re quick you can still treat yourself to some Woodland Adventures. Let me know what your favourites are if you do!
This is so lovely! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Isn’t it? And, yes, I love everything! Mind you so does Flora … 🙂 x
I absolutely love the design of all of these products – the animals are so cute. I particularly like the fox and the coasters. I’ve seen this box everywhere and I wish I had the money to spare because I’d definitely be ordering this! xxx
The fox is my favourite too, I think he/she is so cute. I know the box might seem a little pricey but it’s a quarterly box so I think it works out as amazing value. I love the ethos behind the company too, I think it’s such a good thing that they want to encourage positivity – I certainly have a smile on my face every time I look at my fox plaque! xx
Hi, I love everything about this box, but the hedgehog manicure is so cute and I love the coasters they don’t look like they are made from resin.
The hedgehog manicure set is perfect in my handbag! And I love the coasters too, my favourite is the fox, Flora likes the raccoon, Alan likes the bear. They are so heavy though, they really feel like stone, I was so surprised to get them in the box! x
This is soon incredibly cute! It’s like Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox condensed into a little box of goodies! + who doesn’t love stationary? So fun, thanks for sharing! I wonder what their US shipping options are…
Oh, I never thought about Fantastic Mr Fox, you’re so right! I love all the bits and pieces in this subscription box, there’s such a variety. And the best bit for you is they do ship to the US! x
This looks like the cutest box! Those designs are adorable and the fact it supports charity is great. I love those little stationery bits! x

The designs are so cute, aren’t they? And it’s so brilliant that they donate to charity too, it’s a two-way feel good subscription box, I love it! x
Oh my goodness, all of these are insanely cute!! I absolutely adore the coasters!
Love, Cally x
I love the coasters too but I think my favourites are the bear tin and fox plaque – so cute! x
Wow Lisa!! What a cute little box of goodies! You get so much awesome stuff! I especially love the follow your dreams plaque with the fox and bicycle – how sweet! I do love inspirational cards so this box is right up my street. And all that stationery too plus chocolate coins! I’m impressed! Fab post <3
You and I are very similar, I think, my favourite is the fox plaque too! I’m always so impressed by how much stuff you get in the Artemis & Xena boxes, I think the quality and variety is fantastic and such good value. And chocolate is always welcome 🙂 xx
What a fantastic selection of items you get in this box ?? The coasters are my favourite ! My girls would love to receive one of these sub boxes will keep them in mind for future treats ❤️

You really do, the selection is amazing. Yes, I’ve had a few arguments with Flora over what she’s not getting, haha! x
Amazing! These would make great props for blog photography. If only I took more photos for my blog…
Oh, that’s a great idea, why didn’t I think of that? Excellent, thank you for the tip! x
Omg I simply love cute Forrest animals! Dare I say it…these are all CUTE ??? I mean look at that little raccoon head and those Indian themes coasters & tags. I think this is quite a creative gift box at a KILLER price. Lovely review and kudos to Artemis & Xena for their creativity! Great review ❤️

Everything is just so cute, I love them all! I do think the box is great value, and the variety is amazing. I can’t wait to see what’s in their Summer box now 🙂
Loved all the cute things you received in the box. The coasters and the manicure set is lovely. The pictures look so cute and pretty. Basically I found everything here very cute. ?
Everything is so sweet, the only problem is Flora thinks I should give everything to her #notgoingtohappen #handsoff haha! x
I can completely understand why you were so charmed by this box and couldn’t resist it, it’s gorgeous! I am very tempted to get one for myself as my Instagram has a green / woodland theme at the moment and these items would be a perfect fit for my photos! I really like how this company doesn’t tie you to a subscription and that you can purchase them as a one-off, that’s a lot more attractive to me that having to shell out for a whole year’s worth! The company ethics of supporting women’s causes is brilliant too, such a fantastic initiative!

You should definitely treat yourself, it would be perfect for your lovely Insta theme! Yes, I love the company’s ethos, I think supporting a charity is a wonderful thing to do, and absolutely in keeping with the spreading comfort and well-being message they promote. And the box contents are gorgeous too! x
That is such good value! Such gorgeous products, I love that you’re not tied in to anything with them too, so I’ll definitely check them out!- https://sophhearts.com x
They are really good value when you think what you get for a one off subscription. I can’t wait for their Summer box now 🙂 x
This box is so cute, gutted I missed out on the unicorn box though. Those stationery bits are so lovely! I love ANYTHING stationery! Gorgeous pictures. Thanks for sharing lovely ?
Thank you 🙂 the Unicorn box was pretty special but you never know, they might offer something similar in the future, I think it was one of their most popular boxes – fingers crossed! xx
Impressive! You are really good at un-boxing and reviewing the subscription boxes. I felt like , I am the owner of Woodland Adventures box. I will surely try it once 🙂
Keep it up!
Thank you so much, what a lovely compliment – I will certainly carry on reviewing subscription boxes, I love the ones I receive! 🙂
