The Caker
Experience
I ordered the Carrot Cake kit from The Caker and was excited to try it out. However, when the package arrived, the caramel pouch had unfortunately been damaged and leaked. I reached out to the company and they almost immediately replaced the kit. Luckily, the cake and frosting components had not been compromised so I was able to make that while waiting for the second kit. Both the cake and the frosting were tasty. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was creamy and delicious (although there was something slightly off about it when tasted on its own). I am excited to try the whole kit soon, and I think the caramel will be a really nice touch. However, I do have a few complaints about the kit. First, it is tremendously expensive. The kit costs $25, and that is before you add in the cost of any additional ingredients that you may need. Second, the kit requires you to source some of your own ingredients. This can be a bit of a hassle, especially if you don't have all of the ingredients on hand. Overall, I think the Carrot Cake kit from The Caker is a decent product. The cake and frosting are both tasty, and the kit is easy to use. However, the price is a bit high, and the fact that you have to source some of your own ingredients is a bit of a drawback.
Motif
Experience
Motif's Abundance cleanser was the first Thingdrop I could snag, and I am so happy to have gotten it! This cleanser is a delightfully rich and creamy one with a little bit of physical exfoliation. This is not a cleanser for anyone who wants something foamy and leaves you feeling squeaky clean. This left me with a nice hydrated feeling but might feel like it leaves a film to anyone not anticipating what Abundance is bringing to the table. I might have preferred if the luffa bits - what I believe is providing the exfoliation - were left out. I like to do my cleansing and exfoliating separately, but that's just me. I'm still working my way through this bottle, and I am happy with the results. It's pricey and would be an excellent gift for someone trying to get into skincare but it might be doing a bit too much for someone with a highly curated regimen that works for them. But hey, isn't that true of anything? Overall, very excited by this product and excited to watch this brand.
Feedback
I am really excited to see what's next for the brand. They covered a lot of bases with this first launch! Though I am not sure it will be in my price range unfortunately.

my cats didnt love it and its very pricey, I wish it was available in stores to supplement the food i know my cats like rather than in a hefty expensive subscription

You're paying for packaging and branding for the most part. There are a few standouts but its mostly drugstore products at high end prices. and even the packaging isn't that great

We got a custom blank scrapbook as a guestbook for our wedding and had an excellent experience with customer service. They were helpful and direct and human. I would definitely order from Papier again.
