Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box

Birchbox has some of the best limited edition boxes for women, and while their men's limited edition boxes don't happen as frequently, I think they are equally great!

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review Info

Like all Birchboxes, this box came with a card detailing each of the items included.

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review Towel

Artisan Project Beach Blanket (Value $48)

This beach blanket is so soft and wonderful! (I've been a little hooked on lightweight towel and blankets thanks to subscription boxes this summer!) I love the colors of this towel, and it's a good size - about the size of an oversized beach towel. (I think I'll grab some of the other color versions in the Birchbox shop as well!)

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review Ursa

Juniper Ridge Trail Crew Soap (Travel Size) (Value $12)

Ursa Major Fortifying Face Balm (Travel Size) (Value $12)

This Juniper Ridge soap is made with natural and organic ingredients, and has a wonderful woodsy scent. And we've sampled Ursa Major products before in subscription boxes - my husband likes them, and I love that they are made with natural and organic ingredients. (FYI - this box also comes with 2 Ursa Major Face Wipes, but mine were missing from the box).

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review Bag

Herschel Supply Co. Packable Duffle (Value $30)

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review Duffle

I love the Hawaiian vibe of this duffle - and I'm keeping it for myself!

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review Coffee

Grady’s Cold Brew Bean Bags (Value $12)

Both my husband and I are excited about these bean bags - you put a few in a pitcher of water and leave it in the refrigerator overnight to get cold brewed coffee! (I had to open up to test - the coffee smells incredible!)

Birchbox Man + Cool Hunting Summer Collection Box Review Watch

Quest and Quality SmileSolar Watch (Value $40)

This is a really smart watch - I'm just not the right target audience. It's lightweight, solar powered, and waterproof - I think I need to give it to someone who is more outdoorsy than I am!

Verdict: I think this box is really well curated and a good value too ($150+ worth of items). I was thinking I'd probably end up gifting this box, but I want to keep almost everything! (I think I'll buy another one or two as gifts though).

Did you get the Cool Hunting Summer Box yet? What did you think of it? Do you love the blanket as much as I do?

I bought this box for myself, I pretty much love everything in it except the Juniper Ridge Trail Crew Soap.

I got this box as well. I thought the choice of the duffle was a bit odd for a man. I love it but I can’t see any man using it.

I ordered this box fort hubby and he really liked everything except the duffle. He thought the print was too flowery for a guy. My ten years old daughter swooped in on the opportunity and is now the owner of a Hawaiian print duffle. My hubby even liked the watch. He said is reminded him of Swatches from back in the day. He will use it when he takes the kids swimming. Overall, a great box. We are very happy with it!
