The GlobeIn Box brings you unique artisan crafts from all over the world delivered to your door once a month. You pick the category (Jewelry, Decor, Home Accessories or a mixture of the three) you want the box to focus on and it will contain up to three specially handcrafted items from around the world and the stories of the artists who made the pieces.
GlobeIn ships via USPS and will ship to the U.S. for free or internationally for an additional $10.
The first look was very interesting and I was anxious to dig in and see what everything was. GlobeIn doesn’t include a general information card, but includes individual information cards on each of the products in the box. Here is what I received:
~Maya Gonzalez Woven Bag ($80): I pulled this out of the box first and thought it was a hat. LOL! It took me a minute to realize I needed to flip it around because it was a bag! It’s takes over a month to make every bag and is made by loom-free weaving. So cool!
~Khokhloma Matryoshka Dolls ($2.59): I have always thought these nesting dolls were so cool and my kids are also amazed with them. Such a simple toy, but so fun!
~Adberrahmane Oubassour Soap (~$5): I don’t know that I have ever seen a soap that is SO pink! It’s made in Morocco’s famous “Rose Valley” and contributes vital income to the valley’s 12,000 residents. I am going to let the kids use this because I know they will get a kick out of the bright pink color.
All totaled I came up with a value of $87.59 for the May 2014 GlobeIn Artisan Gift Box. I thought this was a great value (boxes are $29.99/month) and loved the uniqueness of the items they included!

Whoa! I love this! It also came with the little basket, right? What a great sub! I love the nesting dolls. When I went to the Czech Republic, I saw this HUGE one I wanted so much, but it was super expensive. I settled for a smaller, easier to pack version.
Yes! I should have mentioned that. It was all packaged in that little basket.
Love the GlobeIn Box. We’ve been subscribing, along with a few other boxes, for about five months now. The kids love it, and I at least feel like it’s good for them because (a) they learn about a different country every month and (b) it’s not a box full of so-called healthy treats that are really just junk food (you hear me Nature Box?). 🙂 Seriously, this is my fav subscription so far. We’ve got some friends getting married this coming month … who haven’t registered anywhere… so annoying 😉 … and we’re thinking about just gifting them a six month’s subscription. Anyway, can’t say enough good things … about the project and about the stuff.
Beautiful items! Is this the jewelry, decor or home accessories option?
It was a review one so I am not 100% sure??? It may be the combination option??
