What is it?

At each year's end, we put together a fun mystery box for our customers to open early the following year. This is intentionally done AFTER the holiday season, with a distribution in mid to late-January, which gifts a lovely post-holiday surprise at a much-needed time for many of you and your loved ones!

What to know before ordering:

Each box contains anywhere from about ten to twenty surprise gifts, wrapped with sequential numbers. You can open them all at once or space them out as long as you like. We've had customers spread it out over six months! The experience is yours and you should make it what you want it to be.

Yarn (of your color choice) and a mystery knit-along are part of the box. This new design will be released one month after the boxes are distributed. This year's yarn is a very soft medium weight wool, and the pattern is a rectangular scarf/wrap. Please remember that you don't have to do the KAL and that the yarn can also be used for the knitting/crochet/weaving/etc project of your choice. We will be happy to help with ideas once you've opened everything!

• sensational slates = cool grays

• plum perfection = slightly reddish purples

• cream & cocoa = cream & warm taupes

• rich rubies = coral pinks & deep reds

• golden greens = bronze & moss? tough to describe, but beautiful!

 

Everything else is a surprise...

Also in the box will be a variety of accessories and treats, some yarn-related, some from local businesses, and some things we just know you'll love! In the past, we've included things like stitch markers, lip balms, pom poms, wool soap, project bags, tea, chocolate... we could go on and on. (talk about a journey with the yarn and accessories) 

(After we've taken all the orders, we will reach out to see if there are any allergies we need to know about.)

Boxes must be pre-ordered and our order window closes Sunday, November 16th. The flat shipping rate for each box is $10, and pick-up is free, of course. Boxes will be available to be picked up and shipped in mid to late-January of 2026.

Please note that the Luxe Box is final sale and can never be returned.

 

A note from Hilary:

Last year was our last Box of Cheer because, well, I really wasn't sure what was next. Sometimes I get in my head about not being able to keep it new and exciting, which is admittedly kind of ridiculous because year after year, I've found so much inspiration in so many places. This coming January will be our first ever booth at Vogue Knitting Live in NYC and will be the first time I've taken the shop on the road. I'm equally terrified and excited, and I convinced myself that I needed to spend the holiday months focusing on that, and not the Box of Cheer. And last years box got a lot of rave reviews, so why not end on a high note, right?

But... I just can't not do it. This experience for you is also an experience for me, an experience that means the world to me. People know know me really well know how much I have always loved gift-giving. It's a part of who I am!

Many of you have shared your stories about what the box means to you. That you look forward to it every year. Many of you open it with a friend or family member, even long-distance. One year, a customer shared with me that she "won Christmas" by gifting our Box of Cheer to her mother. I heard from many of you that the surprise really cheered you up during what can be a very depressing time of year. One lovely customer who experienced the loss of a loved one reached out to let me know that the box brought her much comfort during a difficult time of her life. And now I'm crying.

The point is that I realized is that the annual box isn't just a box, it's a meaningful experience. That's why I am excited to present our new Luxe Box!

Everyone deserves a luxurious experience now and then. Let us surprise you with the treats you love but may not have seen before. Let us gift you something special that you simply might never purchase for yourself. Let us make you feel cared for and bring you comfort at a time you might need it more. Let us help you give someone one of the best gifts they have ever received!

I'm done crying. I'm so appreciative to everyone who has been on this box journey with me before, and I can't wait to release this new one. Now stop reading and go reserve your box!

I highly recommend the box and look forward to next year's! It's the perfect January pick-me-up, especially when opening with a friend or after a hard day. Hilary and the Nina team put together an amazingly thoughtful box! The yarn is divine and a dream to knit with. The high-quality accessories are also the perfect combination of cute and useful, and sometimes custom for the box. They are sometimes things that you may not have realized you "need", but then use a lot. Oh, and then there's the occasional non-fiber treat from Chicago-area small businesses, with a description for each item and why it was chosen for the box!

I have purchased the Luxe Box every year and have never been disappointed! The thought that goes into the selections in the box shows.

The true luxury here was experiencing the thoughtfulness behind the selection and curation of the different items. Lovely yarn, with a fun and well-edited pattern to encourage immediate use is coupled with pieces that improved my knitting experience – candles, knitting notions, and other elements. Hilary and her team find a mix of local and global items to put together in this delightful package.

The Luxe Box never disappoints. Each box is thoughtfully put together and includes everything you need, from a pattern and beautiful yarn to make it, to stitch markers, coffee, candy and treats that make knitting it feel special. Every item feels chosen with care.
While the plan is to open one item a day, in reality by day two or three I have the entire box opened- I simply cannot wait to see what else is included. Absolutely no regrets!
I will also say last year one of the color ways was named after me and I am still smiling about it!
I wouldn’t miss it!
