I SPY DIY DIY Globe - Value $30

This month's project is centered around the globe - it's a colorable surface ready for you to customize it! (It measures about 6.5 inches in diameter.)

And Darby Smart always includes everything you need for the project, so they included some metallic markers as well:

Marker Set - Value $3?

These markers definitely have enough ink to cover the whole globe if you want. I opted for only coloring in a few continents:

Verdict: I think the value for this box is good - about $33 for a $19 box. Plus I like DIY activities that have a lot of creative freedom built in - you can make the globe look like whatever you want! (And this is a cute office/home accessory, too.)

Signed daughter up and she got a horse head with tape and no instructions on what to do. Came in an envelope not even a cute box. Already highly disappointed and aggravated.

I canceled my sibscription after this box (and the disappointment of last month). This is just too narrow of an idea. What would my teen color? They show the suggestion of marking places you have been. She has never left the US so it would be hard to mark all her adventures in the small USA area. Even if she just colored it in for fun what would she do with it?

I signed up this past month and I got a woodburning kit instead. Just a heads up for anyone else.

I got a wood burner kit too, not happy. Every subscription box I ever joined even if it was a “free joiner” box I received the offer for that month like a regular member would. And if the wood burner kit was curated for new members to entice them to join, Darby smart should have gave out a higher quality project. I feel jipt and will not be keeping my subscription box.

If I signed up now for the free box, would I get this one?

Your first box would be the January box if you sign up with the $10 discount. If you sign up with the free box offer, your first box will be a box from past box options. Hope that helps!
