About a month ago Quarterly offered a one-time purchase box with GE - the Inventor's Toolbox. My husband loves these kind of boxes, and the value seemed incredible, so we were excited to get this box! (FYI - this box has since sold out).
This box was sent to us for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Box: GE Inventor’s Toolbox Quarterly Box
The Cost: $40
The Products: GE will give you tools and inspiration to invent the future.
Ships to US Only.
FYI – this is a one-time-only limited edition box purchase.
The letter from GE is all about inspiring inventors and giving them the tools they need to create.
LittleBits CloudBit Starter Kit - Value $99
(When my husband was doing the unboxing video for this box he had to stop and verify with me that this did indeed cost only $40 - it is insane when the first item you pull out of the box is $99!)
These are all the pieces included in the CloudBits Starter Kit. My husband now also has the BaseKit thanks to the Wil Wheaton Quarterly Box, so he should be set with LittleBits!
Makey Makey Electronics Kit - Value $50
This is my husband's favorite item in the box. He's already tried a few of the projects and done some variations with them.
Basically, with this kit you can turn anything into any key for your computer. The video on this page shows some fun examples - including using a banana as a space bar!
Quirky Cordies - Value $5
These are great for keeping cords from slipping off your desk. I also think Quirky is a good fit for this box since all their products are invented by users in their community.
Glovely Touch Screen Gloves - Value $20
I've received these in Fancy Box from years ago, and I love them, so I'm happy to have a new pair. Hopefully, this warm weather is here to stay and I won't have to use these until much later this year!
Java Classic Coffee Cubes - Value $5
These coffee cubes are instant coffee - you just drop them into hot water, wait 30 seconds then stir. While I'm sure they are great for inventors, I think they are also perfect for travel!
NameCheap .Com Domain Name for 1 Year Coupon - Value $10.69
I think these are both great additions to the box, and I'm thrilled that the Inventables card is an actual gift certificate!
Verdict: This is the best value Quarterly box I've ever seen, and I'm so disappointed it won't be a regular subscription! This box cost $40, and has a value of about $235! I hope if you wanted to get this box you were able to grab one before they sold out, because it is one of the best boxes in terms of value and curation I've ever seen!
