All rights reserved. Used with permission.[/caption] Do you like surprises? Do you like supporting the fine work of a wide variety of Catholic artisans and makers? Danielle and Edmund Mitchell have found a way to combine the two: they've created [LumiBox](http://lumibox.co/), a monthly subscription box filled with carefully-curated items by Catholic creatives. These subscription boxes support the work of Catholic artists and artisans (and introduce this work to a new audience); the Mitchells are a homeschooling family with five children, and Edmund is a youth minister in their home town in Texas. While there are plenty of goodies in each box (more on that in a bit) one of the most impressive features of LumiBox is the daily devotional that's included. These mini-magazines are high-quality publications, bound and printed in full color. Each day's page contains a quote from Scripture, the *Catechism of the Catholic Church*, or a saint. The magazines also devote a few pages to brief introductions of the work of each artisan who contributes to what's in the box.

They're not tiny little samples, either, but full-size products. These included: - Tea sampler from Mystic Monk Coffee (20 tea bags in a wide array of flavors) - Hand-printed tea towel (Veronica's Veil pattern) from Elizabeth Bloofield of Salem Studio - Pomegranate jelly from the Trappist monks of St. John's Abbey (a 12-oz jar -- that's a lot of yumminess) - Wooden spoon with Chi-Rho woodburned design from Hummingbird Crafts (almost too pretty to stir dinner with, but I'm definitely finding a special place for it in my kitchen) - Ricky Vasquez EP album - Art print by Tom Yao, suitable for framing or sending as a greeting card - St. Anthony's (gluten free) Hermit Bars from the kitchen of Little Portion Monastery (the label says they're made with pecans, raisins, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and prayer) **What's in the current box?** June's box has a "dads with beards" theme and can be ordered through June 17! Our friends at [LumiBox](http://lumibox.co/) are offering a special coupon code for CatholicMom.com readers: enter CATHOLICMOM at checkout to receive 10% off your first box. [LumiBox also offers select products in its online store](https://lumibox.cratejoy.com/shop/all/). You'll find journals, a pocket Catechism, art prints, and more available there, plus mini-notebooks labeled "Support Catholic Art." --- *Copyright 2018 Barb Szyszkiewicz, OFS* ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2018%2F06%2F12%2Fsample-catholic-creativity-with-lumibox%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2018%2F06%2F12%2Fsample-catholic-creativity-with-lumibox%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2018%2F06%2F12%2Fsample-catholic-creativity-with-lumibox%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Sample%20Catholic%20Creativity%20with%20LumiBox) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2018%2F06%2F12%2Fsample-catholic-creativity-with-lumibox%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2018%2F06%2F12%2Fsample-catholic-creativity-with-lumibox%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Barb Szyszkiewicz](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/BSzyszkiewicz%202022.jpg) ### [Barb Szyszkiewicz](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/barb-szyszkiewicz-ofs) Barb Szyszkiewicz, senior editor at [CatholicMom.com](http://catholicmom.com), is a wife, mom of 3 young adults, and a Secular Franciscan.
