This box comes with an info booklet – the first page is a letter explaining the theme. Inside each maker and their products are detailed. There’s also details about the fair trade practices, community support initiatives, etc. – it is a feel-good read!
Now, onto the items!
Hand-Painted Serving Dish, Tunisia (Retail $30)
This dish measures about 10 inches across, so it can work as a smaller serving dish, or as a dinner plate if you make a set.
I'm so impressed by the handpainted designs and I love the color combination, too.
And while GlobeIn recommends hand washing to preserve the plates, I can confirm that I've been putting our matching mugs in the dishwasher almost every day since we've received them and they still look brand new!
Hand-Painted Sauce Dish, Tunisia (Retail $12?)
This sauce dish is an alternative to the basket included in every box. (Subscribers can pick this instead of the basket if they prefer.)
It measures about 4 inches across and has a good depth for sauces, too.
Greeting Card Box Set (Set of Eight), India (Retail $22)
I love that this card set comes in its own beautiful box - it's a perfect addition to my desk.
This set includes 8 cards and envelopes, and the paper is made from recycled cotton pulp, so it has a lovely texture to it, too.
These are flat cards and blank on the plain side, so you can use them for any occasion.
Beautiful!
Gift Box (Set of Three), India (Retail $20)
More beautiful organization for my desk!
These storage boxes are small enough so that they won't take up too much valuable desktop real estate, but still big enough to store away most of my clutter! (The largest box lid is about 4 by 6 inches.)
And lastly, this box included this folded blank card with this Picasso quote on the front. Lovely! (Value $2)
Verdict: This box has a value of about $86. I think that's a great value for a subscription box that focuses on fair trade and giving back. And I absolutely love the designs this month! I love all the handpainted ceramicware I have from GlobeIn (and I always want more), so the serving dish and sauce dish are welcome additions to my collection. And the storage boxes and notecard set are just gorgeous!
