Petite Apothecary Subscription Box

Choose between the Petite Apothecary box (£25) or the Seasonal Apothecary Box (£50) and whether you would like to subscribe to get a box every 3 months, or buy a prepaid yearly gift of x4 boxes, delivered seasonally but paid once - perfect for gifting!

Select your chosen box and payment method and add to cart, then process with payment as usual and your subscription is ready to go and will be posted to you at the seasonal schedules.

As our box is seasonal it will be sent out 4 times a year, in time for each Solstice and Equinox — the coming of each new season. This is based on the UK seasons, with the specific dates changing every year, here are the 2025 dates.

• 20th of March — Spring Equinox
• 20th of June — Summer Solstice
• 20th of September — Autumn Equinox
• 20th of December — Winter Solstice

Each box will be posted a week before and should arrive in time for the dates above.

Cut-Off Dates (Important!)

In-line with reducing waste and only gathering and packing the amount of products that we will actually need, we operate the subscription boxes with cut-off dates.

These dates will be the last day of the month BEFORE the subscription delivery month:

(28th/Feb, 31st/May, 31st/Aug, 30th/Nov),

so to ensure you receive the box that month you must have subscribed before the cut off date — otherwise your subscription will begin in the following season.

Sign-up dates will be between:

• 1st of Feb — 28th of February (Spring Equinox box)
• 1st of May — 31st of May (Summer Solstice box)
• 1st of August — 31st of August of September (Autumn Equinox box)
• 1st of November — 30th of November of December (Winter Solstice Box)

Each season we will hand select specific items that we think will fit the coming season best, we will try to not repeat items often and will have a good variety of everything so that each box is full of good value no matter your budget.

Each box will also feature an O&T Seasonal Wellness card with affirmations, seasonal tips and trivial info to help embrace each season as nature intended — we will also will try to add little extras and freebies whenever we can!

It will vary season to season, so you could receive haircare products one month, or then a candle the next month, but no matter what we retain our O&T values with each box and item — you can see the full list of available products above.

Please note that we will only be able to have a featured product from another artisan in our larger Seasonal Apothecary box.

With our Seasonal Apothecary box we want to give back to our customers and offer a product that you might not be able to get your hands on usually with us.

Featuring a unique product made my an artisan in the UK, with themes and values similar to ours and with handcrafted elements — either for skincare, or your home or your general wellness.

We will carefully choose items that complement our products but give you something functional and beautiful too!

Some of the items could be things like: skincare products, ceramics and pottery, crochet or other thread-based pieces, beeswax wraps, wellness gifts such as yoga cards, artwork or handmade books etc.

What Do Solstice and Equinox Mean?
The solstices and equinoxes mark the turning points of the Earth's journey around the sun, signaling the changes in seasons.

In the UK, the solstices represent the longest and shortest days of the year – the height of summer in June and the depth of winter in December. The equinoxes, in March and September, are moments of perfect balance, where day and night are nearly equal.

These natural events, celebrated across cultures, remind us of our deep connection to the rhythms of the Earth. While the exact timing and traditions vary around the world, the solstices and equinoxes universally inspire reflection, renewal, and gratitude for the changing seasons.

Why Did We Choose These Dates?
At Oat & Thistle, we craft products inspired by the cycles of nature, so aligning our subscription boxes with the solstices and equinoxes felt natural. These four moments in the year symbolize transition, balance, and the beauty of change – values at the heart of our brand.

By releasing our boxes only four times a year, we embrace the slower, intentional pace of nature, allowing us to curate thoughtfully and provide you with seasonal treasures that align with the Earth’s rhythms.

Yes, of course!
