We opted for “The Butcher” this month.
If you see the selections and decide you aren’t interested you are totally free to skip that month (you can opt out during the first 5 days of the month) and you won’t be charged. Or, you can choose one of the boxes from a previous month which are still available.
Bespoke Post ships uses a variety of methods. This box shipped via UPS Mail Innovations and took just under a week to arrive.
Bespoke Post has the coolest packaging. They use different sizes boxes and have packaging materials that fit the items like a glove.
The November 2015 Bespoke Post box we selected was “The Butcher”. The box contained the following items to help you both cook and entertain:
~Edge-Grain Butcher Block, (L)12″ x (W)14″ x (D)1″ by Brooklyn Butcher Blocks: I can’t find this exact block online because it’s a Bespoke exclusive, but similar ones are $50+. We have a sort of similar one from Bespoke from many boxes ago and we love it. We use it mainly for serving / displaying food and will likely do the same with this one.
~Soppressata Handcrafted Salami, 5oz by Creminelli Fine Meats: I am not the biggest fan of the smell of salami or of cutting it, but I love eating it. Some fancy salami and gourmet cheeses are the best snack for football games.
~Pickled Mustard Seeds, 2oz by Ft. Greene Farms: I can see how these would be cool (if you liked mustard) and think they would be a great addition to a sandwich. I am going to give them to my mom to try with Thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwiches.
~Charred Sriracha Sauce, 2oz by Ft. Greene Farms: This wasn’t as hot as I was expecting, but I also just tried a tiny amount so maybe that’s why? I did thing it was super flavorful though!
~“Camp” Drinking Chocolate, 1.4oz by Treehouse Chocolate Co.: It’s getting to be hot chocolate season and this makes amazing hot chocolate. It’s GMO-free, organic and dye and color-additive free. I have had these a few times and always enjoy it!
~Honey Sticks, Set of Three by Bee Local: These work in your tea or as a little treat with your cheese plate. I like to try eat them alone!
I thought this month’s Bespoke Post was fantastic! It’s a great box for holiday entertaining and would also make a fantastic holiday gift. Or even better, a hostess gift!
