Mindful Souls

I absolutely adore getting subscription boxes, and this one was an impulse buy after seeing the company advertised on Facebook.

*Note: This box was not provided free in exchange for review. This review is entirely impartial and the opinion of the author only.

Mindful Souls at mindfulsouls.com is a pretty, minimalist website offering crystals, jewellery, and other spiritual wellness products. The one that caught my eye was the Mindful Box, promising “Self-love and self-care” via a monthly subscription of crystals, aromatherapy products, and mindful jewellery.

The price was more than I would usually have liked to have paid, but there was a special offer on: Usually £39.99 ($39.97 on the United States store), £29.99 as a one-off discount. Plus, there was an extra free gift. Sign me up!

Registering was simple and, within just over a week (our postal service is a bit messed up right now so I imagine it would have been quicker otherwise) I received an attractive, jam-packed box of goodies.

One of the key features of the Magic Star Learning Table is its ability to help children learn numbers, letters, shapes, and colors. The table includes a number pad, an alphabet book, and shape buttons that allow children to practice counting, identify letters, and recognize different shapes. The table also has color-changing lights that help children learn and identify different colors.

The Contents

This first box I received contained:

• • A small Buddha statue.
  • • Rosemary aromatherapy oil – I couldn’t figure out if this was pure essential oil or not but it smells great!
    • An amethyst pendulum pendant.
    • • A rose quartz crystal point.
      • • A bracelet made from “white turquoise” which is actually dolomite, plus a few beads of basalt or similar volcanic rock. The bracelet has a very cute elephant on it.
        • • A dreamcatcher – more on that below.
          • • A free obsidian necklace
            • • A sticker
              • • An affirmation sheet

                There was also a leaflet explaining each item, with handy facts about the crystals, advice like activating crystals with running water, and other tips. Each item came in a tiny canvas sack decorated with the Mindful Souls logo.

                Reviews for "Social-Emotional Learning Opportunities with the Magic Star Learning Table"

                1. Emily - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Magic Star Learning Table. It advertised all these interactive activities and different modes of play, but they were all pretty basic and not very engaging. My child quickly lost interest in it and it became just another piece of clutter in our playroom. I also found the buttons on the table to be somewhat unresponsive, which was frustrating. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this toy as there are much better options out there.

                2. Michael - 1/5 - The Magic Star Learning Table was a complete waste of money for us. The quality of the toy was really poor and it broke within a week of use. The buttons were flimsy and didn't work properly, and the sound was scratchy and unpleasant. My child also didn't seem to find it interesting or engaging at all. I regret purchasing this and would advise others to look for a different learning table that is better made and more engaging for children.

                3. Julia - 2/5 - My child received the Magic Star Learning Table as a gift, and unfortunately, it was not a hit in our household. The activities on the table were quite limited and repetitive, which quickly bored my child. The volume control was also very loud even on the lowest setting, which was annoying for both my child and myself. Additionally, the table was not very sturdy and felt like it could easily tip over, making it unsafe for play. I would not recommend this learning table as there are better options available that offer more engaging and safe play experiences.
