MyIrelandBox, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a subscription box straight from Ireland to your doorstep! The box includes 1 large or 2-4 Irish made/designed home goods, accessories, jewellery, stationary or beauty products.
MyIrelandBox ships directly from Ireland and takes slightly over a week to arrive. My box clearly went through some rough times to get here. LOL. The irony that it’s labeled “Fragile Please Handle With Care” and that it looks like a complete disaster with no sign of a note or “I’m sorry” isn’t lost on me.
I was scared to open this box because I didn’t know what the state of the contents would be and I didn’t want everything to be damaged. But I am happy to report that the only damage was to the box. Quite remarkable because I thought for sure something would be broken.
The February MyIrelandBox theme was “Grá” which is love or sweetheart in Irish Gaelic. Here is what was inside:
~Snow Event Design Claddagh Ring ($21.84): If this doesn’t fit on your finger, they suggest hanging it on a chain, which I think would be even cuter. Snow Event is a husband and wife design team and are located in Dublin City.
~karoArt Ceramic Tiles ($6.55): Not only do I love this ornament, I am also quite obsessed with this entire etsy shop as well. I think this wall art is really cool and would love to be able to do something like that!
~Breandan O’Conchuir St. Briget’s Crosses: I cannot find this vendor online, but the card says that the St Brigid’s Cross is a symbol of protection used to protect your home or car. It’s to be hung from inside your front door or from the car mirror. Interesting! I have never heard of such a thing!
~Bog Standard Irish Linen Candle ($9.78): I’m not familiar with what Irish Linen smells like, but this smells pretty good to me. I’m not sure if we have ever gotten a candle from MyIrelandBox before but I’m happy it’s here now!
All totaled I came up with a value of $38.17 for the February 2014 MyIrelandBox. That does not include the value of the St. Brigid’s Cross, because I can’t find that one online! Boxes start at $41.70/month and a mini option is also available for $24.32/month (that’s after the exchange rate).

Dear Jennifer
Thank you for a lovely review of the February Gr? MyIrelandBox. We too love Karo Art and can’t wait to work with all of the artists again.
We are delighted to say that we are introducing new, extra strength boxes that will handle the mistreatment during international shipping!
Our March St Patrick’s Day MyIrelandBox ships early in March and we are excited to send the gorgeous Irish made products that we have curated to our customers and to introduce everyone to the makers!
Thank you again and best wishes from Ireland
Katharine & The MyIrelandBox Team
