The GlobeIn Artisan Box 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. If boxes sell out before the 15th your subscription will begin the following month.
GlobeIn releases spoilers for their boxes in advance so I knew what to expect from this box. Well, I pretty much did. This box has some variations so you won’t know exactly what’s coming in your box until you get it.
The October 2015 GlobeIn Artisan Box theme was “Cozy” and included the following items to help you curl up into the season:
~Fair Trade Free Weave Scarf by Marquet ($21.99): I received the cream version of this scared in my Benefit Basket this month and I like the brown / tan one I received in this box just as much. I’m not sure how many different varieties were sent out, so so far they all look great. The scarf itself is woven on a traditional hand-built loom using 100% locally grown cotton. The weavers are able to work in between harvesting and planting season to create these beautiful scarves so that they do not need to leave their families like other rural Thai workers.
~Divine Chocolate Cocoa Powder (Ghana) (~$4): Devine Chocolate is a cocoa-growing coop located in Ghana. It’s 85,000 farmer members get a share in the products, a say in the company and a voice in the global marketplace. GlobeIn included two recipes for this chocolate powder in the booklet (a “Simple, Creamy and Surprisingly Healthy Hot Cocoa” and “Cocoa Roasted Almonds”) but the possibilities are really endless with this one.
~La Souk Ceramique Mug (Tunisia ($15)): This mug comes from Nabeul, which is on the Mediterranean coast of Tunsia. It is hand painted and I suspect a variety of different mugs were sent out. My mug is more like an oversized teacup (and I love it), while the information card shows a totally different mug in a taller shape. I think seeing the different varieties of this one will be very fun!
~Palm Leaf Basket by GlobeIn (Mexico) ($12): All GlobeIn Artisan boxes include a palm leaf basket. This month the mug arrived all bubble wrapped inside of the basket.
All totaled I came up with a value of $52.99 for the October 2015 GlobeIn Artisan Box. I really loved this box and think it was the idea theme for fall.
