GlobeIn Artisan Subscription Box Review + Coupon – May 2016

Great collection of items. I always love items upcycled from plastic bags and emptied rice bags. Very durable and very cool.

I have loved my GlobeIn boxes but have a small complaint this month. There was a black and white “trashybags.com” sticker on the upcycled tote. At first I thought it was a sticker that could be peeled off, but it was stitched on. I wouldn’t have minded if it blended into the tote, but it was out of place. I think it would have been better as a removable tag. I was able to remove it, but the plastic was slightly damaged in the process. I am put off by it enough to consider contacting GlobeIn.

I’ve been a fan of MSA since 2013 so I’ve had the chance to view and purchase so many subscription boxes over that time period. After viewing countless boxes, at this point the only subs I feel loyalty towards are PSMH and GlobeIn (and MizzFit, but her boxes arent monthly ?). Due to financial constraints over cut back on my sub addiction and i had thought to discontinue GlobeIn. lived in South East Asia for a few years as a child and I remember that nothing went to waste. Everything was repurposed into something else. We definitely don’t do that in the US (or if we do we then call it art) so it has been exciting to see what things can become. I love the thought of helping these industries to grow and thrive. As for the products themselves, I can say that I always have gifts at hand these days (although i prefer to keep the items for myself!). Although I must cut back, I’m keeping GlobeIn.

This is my first month of Globe-in (I signed up for the towels!). Do they have a way to check the status of your box or do you only know when they send a shipping notice?

Liz, just FYI, subscribers were offered a chance to buy additional glasses at a lower rate ($12). That offer ended about a week ago, but I thought that was pretty smart of them to anticipate people wanting more and also offer a discount as incentive.

I waited until I could see the glass in person before I ordered more of them. I know you could order extras. I hope the glasses will be available for purchase from the store once I see what it looks like in my box. I love that the box also gives back too 🙂

I haven’t even gotten shipping notification yet.

Hobby Lobby has some very realistic fake roses (and other flowers) made out of smooth plastic that photographs really well. They feel a little more rubbery than the regular fake flowers, but look more realistic.

Still waiting on my first box and haven’t received any shipping info yet either. Since they offer you any choice of box available I opted for the bath box instead. I also ordered their laundry bag which I have already received and I love it. Anyone else still waiting and do they send out any shipping info?

I really like GlobeIn. They do a great job of sticking to the theme, in really non-obvious ways.

I like many individual items in this box, this month included.

But that $15 tube of coconut oil is worth about $2. I can get a huge jar of food grade, organic coconut oil at the grocery for $5. Packaging is not worth $13.

That glass is gorgeous though.

I can’t wait to get my boxes this month! I just love this sub and loving the option to choose basket or to sub a different item! I absolutely love the upcycled container from last month.

The glass / vase is gorgeous, I’ll probably use mine as a vase. And I can’t wait to see what animal bottle stopper I get!
