Bespoke Post delivers fresh and interesting lifestyle brands and products to men. Each month, you’ll get to choose from their limited-edition boxes filled with an array of products built around a central, unique theme. The March box selections (as seen here) were “Liftoff”, “Polished”, “Brew”, “Canteen”, Breathe” and “Shelter”.
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.
This month’s Bespoke Post shipped via UPS Mail Innovations and took just under a week to arrive. Boxes ship at different times of the month depending on which box you ordered for the month.
Bespoke Post uses a variety of box sizes depending on what your selection was for that month.
We opted for the “Canteen” March 2016 Bespoke Post, which included the following items:
~Blue Claw Co. Lunch Bag: I didn’t read the description very well on this because I was super surprised to feel that it was a waxed canvas bag and not just a canvas bag. To me, the waxed canvas feels almost a bit damp? But that also makes the bad leak-free and allows for spills inside to be cleaned up more easily. It’s an ideal style for B to take to work and isn’t something he’d be embarrassed about carrying (not that it really bugs him). And it matches his backpack from last month.
~Onyx Airtight Container ($22): We received the same Onyx container in a Hamptons Lane a few months back and it’s fabulous. It seals your food airtight, so you don’t need to worry about spills. Also, you can write on the top of the package in non-permanent marker so your co-workers don’t steal it from the fridge. You (obviously) cannot microwave this, so Bespoke Post recommends keeping a set of actual dishware (probably just a plate, a bowl and a set of silverware) at your work. That way it feels like you are eating a meal and not rushing around.
~Sir Kensington’s Ketchup and Mustard: Sir Kensington’s makes the best ketchup. I don’t like mustard so I really can’t speak out that, but their ketchup is great! It’s different than your “normal” ketchup, but that’s because it’s not as sugary. B says their mustard is great too.
Because some items are Bespoke Post exclusives I can’t always do a cost breakdown, but I also feel like I am getting $45 value out of the box. Since you are able to see what is in the box before you have to order, this isn’t a box that will never leave you disappointed!
