We’re in the Summer 2025 Jilly Box!
We’re in the Summer 2025 Jilly Box!
Do you like surprises? We’ve been keeping something special under wraps, and now we finally get to spill the (spicy pepper) jelly.
If you don’t know who Jillian Harris is, we've got the scoop. She’s a Canadian powerhouse who grew up in Northern Alberta, and has been cracking us up on Instagram for many years. She now calls Kelowna home (the hometown of our Founder, Melanie). From TV and media to design, cookbooks, and entrepreneurship, Jillian has built an incredible brand rooted in kindness, community, and style.
In 2019, Jillian and her Agent, Tyler Evans, launched The Jilly Box, a seasonal subscription box featuring their favourite brands, products, and design pieces. Each one is curated with care, packed with intention, and ships out to a growing number of subscribers (now 20,000 and counting!). These boxes sell out fast, and the waitlist is legendary (think website crashes and all the launch-day drama we prefer not to speak of around here, on our own Jilly Box launch day).
“I can't wait to share the news about this project with everyone who has supported us.”
Melanie Mulherin, Founder
For Summer 2025, Jillian Harris and her team hand-picked a standout lineup of brands, including SaltSpring Kitchen Company!
Our preserves work perfectly with the Country Summer theme this season. We love the small fable brand bowls, which are great for charcuterie and cheese boards to add nuts, dips, and more. You can get our guide to the Best Jams for Charcuterie and Cheese Boards, here, or our guide to building epic charcuterie boards here.
Included in the Summer 2025 Jilly Box is a custom-designed duo featuring two of Jillian’s favourites:
🍑 Peach & Pepper Spicy Pepper Spread
A few words from Melanie.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our team. From the first conversation about offerings and pricing to packaging, production planning, inventory building, warehousing, and shipping, every step of this Jilly Box launch was handled with care.
Pulling off an order of this scale so smoothly is a true reflection of the strength and collaboration of our crew. This moment deserves to be celebrated.”
The Jilly Box is a values-driven business that leads with purpose.
The Jilly Box is a platform that lifts small Canadian businesses, raises funds and awareness for meaningful causes, and connects like-minded people across the country. The impact on our team is huge, and we expect to see support from this community in our retailers across the country, in our online shop, and our Tasting Room for years to come. We look forward to connecting with everyone in the Jilly Box and Jilly community who learns about us through this partnership.

SaltSpring Kitchen Company makes jams, preserves, and hot sauces you’ll want to put on just about everything.
Our flavour-filled condiments are made for people who love to eat, share, and entertain. We work in small batches, with all-natural, simple ingredients.
With a team of 15, a small Jam Factory, and Tasting Room on Salt Spring Island (stocked with everything you need for island picnics if you’re visiting), and distribution in grocery and specialty shops coast-to-coast. But most of all, we’re a team of real people who care deeply about what we do, creating bold, flavourful products that make everyday meals a little more exciting. Elevate the everyday, that’s our goal. Big flavours, small batches, tiny island.
