~LinaGardenia Handmade Beaded Necklace ($20): This necklace isn’t really my style, but I have a friend who would love it. It’s handmade and what’s even cooler is that most of the artists items are made using materials from her Great Aunt’s old pieces.

~Zakiyah Scented Candle Votive Set ($8): Candles in subscription boxes are always a win.  I rarely receive scents I don’t enjoy (subscribers either received Sandalwood or Nah Champa) and these were quite nice.  I found that they burned clean as well.

All totaled I came up with a value of $54 for the September 2015 Genuine Articles box. The value was right around the cost of the box, but I thought all the items were fairly priced and I liked the selections they made this month.

    Great review! Just a note, it looks like from the pictures that the honey company is Halimah’s Just Bees 🙂
