A list of my referral codes that I have for different foods, subscriptions, or services are found below that you can use to either try or get a discount off their services. These are not paid sponsorships of any kind unless stated otherwise. Details can be found on the Disclosure Policy page.
Food
Graze – www.graze.com
Code: JTM39522P
What you get with the code: Your 1st and 5th box for FREE!
What they’re about: A snack food subscription box that you can control the intervals of when they are delivered and have an influence as to what kinds of snacks they send you based on the rating you give to each snack. They have many types to choose from based on your tastes, health concerns, and diet to name a few. Shipping is included in the price.
How I got started: I started a free 4-variety box that I had found a code for in my local Valpack to see how it was since they had so many different snacks to choose from and most of what we have tried are great! You can find posts with a bit of a review and photos of the boxes we have tired to see if it’s something that you would like to try too.
Japan Crate – japancrate.com
Link: http://www.sailplay.net/p/L6AS/
What you get with the code:Â None, but it can lead to more unboxing post in the future for your reference.
What they’re about: A monthly snack food subscription box specifically for Japanese snacks. They have three box sizes and prices based on the type of subscription you get. From month-to-month to 3, 6, and 12-month subscriptions with FREE shipping. The snacks are random but they can have themed boxes and bonus items. They also have other types of crates for those who like cute items, beauty products, and instant noodles!
How I got started: I believe I saw them through posts on Facebook and Instagram and decided to subscribe to their newsletter and like them on social media. Then I saw they had a contest to win a Japan Crate in June and gave it a shot! To my surprise I actually won! And they were so kind enough to give their biggest box size (as the description for the contest said it could be any size)! We were pretty happy with it and such a great deal for the amount you get for the price! With Halloween and the holidays approaching at the time of this writing, I decided to make this my birthday gift to myself and got a subscription! I will be posting unboxings of the giveaway box I won and ones from my subscription under the “Japan > Food” category as I receive them for anyone who is thinking about getting a crate but not sure if it’s right for them. Possibly unboxing videos in the future too. We’ll see, one thing at a time, hehe. ^^;
Sugarfina – sugarfina.com
Link: http://bit.ly/2JpmvtA
What you get with the code: 10% Off your First purchase! I get 10 points for each referral.
What they’re about: Candy for the more adult taste with a modern, boutique style. They come in stackable clear cubes that you can buy individually or get their boxes to create a custom set! They will also have collaborations and holiday themed sets and candies too. Kids can eat their candies too of course, but check for the non-alcoholic ones as there are candies with alcohol in them.
How I got started: The first time I got candy from Sugarfina was when my husband brought home a cube of the Sugar Lips from his workplace. I don’t think there was a store here yet at that time. It was really good! Then when they opened up a store at Ala Moana Shopping Center near Macy’s and they first participated in the mall-wide Fukubukuro event, I bought a bag. From there I’ve gotten the Sanrio collaboration, picked up the free birthday candy cube, and got a bag from the second Fukubukuro event for them.
Bokksu – bokksu.com
Link: http://prz.io/e0KovRc2
What you get with the code: 10% Off your first Bokksu Market purchase!
Code: http://bokksu.refr.cc/andreao – $5 Off your first Classic Bokksu subscription! Expires: Sep 25th 2018
What they’re about: A premium subscription-based company of traditional and a bit more refined Japanese snacks and tea paring sent out every month with FREE shipping worldwide. Compared to other Japanese snack subscription boxes like Japan Crate, they offer more higher-end individually wrapped snacks but usually not full-sized bags. But they are the only ones that I know of that will send you a tea paring that goes well with the snacks in the month’s box. They also have a Shop page (Market) where you can buy previously featured snacks, past boxes, and teas.
How I got started: So far I have just gotten their emails and tried to enter some of their contests. I have yet to get a box from them, but they are on my list of subscription boxes to get in the future. Using any of the links above would get me closer to getting a box with the bonus to you getting discounts to try them yourself! They have codes often to get additional snacks with your subscription when you first sign up or a current one as of this writing where you can get their Tasting box free when you use their code with your subscription to their Classic box (6/27/18).
Subscriptions
Pipsticks – pipsticks.com
Link: https://www.pipsticks.com/refer/Andre-PYJEYTIV
What you get with the code: $5 Off a subscription!
What they’re about: Love stickers? Especially colorful ones? This is the website to go to! A sticker and stationary subscription site where kids and adults can get sticker goodies in the mail each month with FREE US shipping. They also have email subscriptions for print-out goodies too! If you don’t feel like subscribing, they have a Shop page where you can buy individual items or special packs. And for those who live in California, they have a physical shop with fun events, workshops, and a Makers Studio.
How I got started: Someone on Instagram had posted about one of the special packs for an upcoming month last year that got my attention. I ended up not grabbing it but decided to follow Pipsticks on IG to see what kinds of things they would have. Just recently they had a promo code for a month free of their email subscription. I figured this was a great time to see what they offered and used the code. The print-out is really nice and gives you ideas on how you can use them. I was pretty satisfied but since I am not able to make use of printing them out at the moment I won’t be getting more yet. But I do plan to get a sticker subscription soon to see how that is.
Services
DreamHost (Web Hosting) – http://www.dreamhost.com
Link: http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?1009227
What you get with the url: None, but they have very good deals on hosting throughout the year that are well worth it!
Current deal code: —
What they’re about: They offer web hosting, cloud storage, and other web services for anyone looking to create a website.
How I got started:Â I was introduced to their services when I would visit one of my favorite websites in the past and they listed DreamHost as their web hosting. Everything I read about their services sounded really good for the price you pay. I kept their name in mind and fast forward more than 10 years later and they were still in business and still offering a great deal when I was looking around for web hosting for my portfolio website and signed up! I haven’t had any problems with my hosting since signing up so can only say nothing but good things and hope the same for you!
Etsy (eCommerce) – http://www.etsy.com
Link: http://etsy.me/1Ou1cFW
What you get with the code: 40 FREE listings for You and Me!
What they’re about: The largest world-wide community of creative entrepreneurs selling handmade items, vintage goods and craft supplies to anyone around the world.
How I got started: I used to make beaded items when I was little and starting taking it up again in late 2014. I attended a few craft fairs and swap meets to get a gauge of how I could sell them and get some exposure. I first started putting things up on BigCartel but felt like Etsy may have more exposure for a beginner online seller like myself. My good friend of South Georgia Clay started her first Etsy shop to sell her handmade polymer clay beaded jewelry and was nice enough to share her code with me since I was debating on opening a shop. I saw this as an opportunity to do so while helping her out and am slowing opening shop.
Moo (Printing) – www.moo.com
Link:Â http://www.moo.com/share/pfsw9h
What you get with the url: 10% Off your 1st order!
What they’re about: A printing service that prints their provided template or custom designs for Business Cards, Flyers, Letterhead, Stickers and many other print products on a variety of papers in different sizes.
How I got started:Â My friend Hakaichou had printed her cosplay cards and they turned out really nice and she had a link to share to their website. At the time I was also in the process of redoing my business cards as it has old info that I have to keep crossing out and writing over and saw this as a great opportunity to try them out. The process was very easy and they were delivered about a day ahead of the projected delivery date. Best of all, the cards came out great! I really am in love with the print and feel of the cards and highly recommend them. Out of curiosity of what their other products look like I ordered their free sample book that came with a bunch of their different print products and really like the packaging it was presented in. They labeled each one with what it was, the size, type of paper used, and any other features to them. Very professional and would love to get more things printed from them the next time I need to. Please try them out!
Stickermule (Printing) – www.stickermule.com
Link: https://www.stickermule.com/unlock?…
What you get with the url: $10 store credit! I get $10 added when you buy.
What they’re about: A sticker printing service that prints custom stickers you make along with custom labels, magnets, and packaging and more. They offer free shipping and free online proofs to see how they may turn out. If you’re not sure of their printing quality you can order a sample pack for $1 which comes with samples of most of their printing services they offer.
How I got started: I’ve seen a few people post pictures on Instagram of their orders and was curious after taking a look at what they had to offer. But I’m one of those people that would like to have a physical item to hold and look at to be able to tell the quality of something. So I ordered a sample pack. Shipping was free and on time to what it estimated. The packaging kept them safe with a couple looking like they had imprinted outlines on them from the stickers that were on top of each other. Other than that the quality was really good and they gave a lot more samples of their items than I thought for $1! And to note, you can also order custom samples too if you rather see a sample of how your own work would look like at a different price range.
