The GlobeIn Artisan Box, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a monthly subscription box featuring GlobeIn’s favorite products from global artisans. Each box is curated around a monthly theme selected by their editor with the aim of helping you experience new and interesting products and cultures.
GlobeIn ships via USPS. Boxes ship on the 15th of the month (I received mine early for review purposes). Orders placed after the 15th of the calendar month will ship on the 15th of the following calendar month. ETA: If boxes sell out before the 15th your subscription will begin the following month.
GlobeIn released the spoilers for this box earlier in the week, but that just made me even more excited to get it.
The April 2015 GlobeIn theme was “Picnic” and was all about enjoying new ways of eating on the go. The following items were included to help empower you to eat mindfully and live joyfully:
~All Good Herbal Sunstick from Brazil ($7.99): Both of my boys hate when you put sunscreen on their face, so I try to use sunscreen sticks whenever I can. This one will be great to throw in my purse this summer to reapply sunscreen on the go as well.
~Kopali Organic Dried Mango (~$4): I cannot find these for sale online anywhere so I guessed at the price. Anyway I didn’t love these. I’m kind of funny about dried fruit. If it was crunchy I would have been more of a fan. I like crunchy dried fruit. Like the freeze-dried and baked dried fruits.
~Tiffin-inspired Tri Bento Lunchbox from India ($25): I love this! According to the information card it was inspired by Mumbai’s traditional “tiffins” which are steel “to-go” boxes used to deliver 200,000 daily home-cooked lunches. I did some googling and it looks like a really cool service. I believe my college friend The Yuppie Traveler is headed to India soon and hopefully she’ll be in a location that has this service! I think B is going to LOVE this for work lunches.
~~Hand-printed Khatri Cotton Napkin Set ($10): The set includes two gorgeous napkins (dyed, hand-printed and cured under the desert sun) and a drawstring bag. You can use the bag to store these napkins and silverware or to hold snacks.
~Palm Leaf Basket ($12): I believe that each monthly box includes a palm leave basket like this one. The sunscreen stick and lunchbox were packaged inside of it. I am using my last one to store some of my products in under the bathroom sink.
All totaled I came up with an estimated value of $58.99 for the April 2015 GlobeIn box. I really liked this month’s theme and think that the lunchbox is just fabulous. I cannot wait to show it to B!
