Wooden Photo Frame, Turkey – Value $15
This wood has a rustic/raw quality to it, and I think that goes perfectly with the simple design. I imagine this will work well with most decor styles!
Wooden Pencil Cup, TurkeyΒ – Value $15
I think this is my favorite item in the box – I’m always happy with simple and clean designs! Here is a closer look at the wood grain:
Undated Weekly Planner by Marie Mae Co.Β – Value $18
Since this planner was sent out in a March box, I’m very happy to see it is undated. Here it is out of the packaging:
I like the cover, but my first thought was, “I miss that beautiful print!”
Fortunately, it appears again inside:
And here is a look a the weekly planner pages:
Elephant Poo Bookmark, Sri Lanka – Value $3
This isn’t the first time GlobeIn has sent Mr. Ellie Pooh paper! (Check out the July GlobeIn review, too!)
If you aren’t familiar with this paper:
All of our paper products are 100% recycled. They are made up of 30% fiber from elephant dung and 70% post consumer paper. There are no toxic chemicals used in our paper making process. Natural vegetative binding agents, along with water-soluble salt dyes for coloring are used. Mr. Ellie Poohβs papers are handmade, acid free and as organic as it gets.
Compared to using virgin wood, paper made with 100% recycled content uses 44% less energy, produces 38% less greenhouse gas emissions, 41% less particulate emissions, 50% less wastewater, 49% less solid waste, andβof courseβ100% less forest destruction.
Palm Leaf BasketΒ β Value $12
Each box comes with some of the contents packaged in a palm leaf basket – theyβre great for storage!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $62. I think that’s good for a subscription box that focuses on fair trade and giving back. And as always, GlobeIn impresses me with their themes and curation each month!
I really love the two wooden pieces this month. What do you think of the March 2016Β GlobeIn Artisan box?

Just curious, how many of those baskets do you have by now?? lol
I chose another box, but now I wish I had not. Darnit.
Looking forward to mine. I like the idea of an undated planner; might save it for next year. I can always use more picture frames, especially since I just found out I’m going to be a grandma (for the first time) at the end of August!
Congrats!!! ?
That’s awesome! [And, love babies, but better you than me…. π ]
