Once again, everything arrived in this lovely cotton drawstring bag! Such a nice bonus!
This is the letter I received in my package. This month's package was a little different than usual. It was small! The box is usually medium to large size, so I was surprised to see a small box this month. But, you know what they say, sometimes the best things come in small packages!
Mango Ginger Soap, India
This well-crafted glycerin soap smells amazing! The smell wafted through my package even before I opened it. In use, however, the smell is not overwhelming at all. And it meets my #1 criteria for good soap: it lathers wonderfully!
Photo Holder, Ghana
I love simple photo holders like this one for casual photos! This one is really beautiful and well made, too. It has such a colorful, vibrant look about it! It is made from recycled glass beads.
Bracelet, Philippines
What a pretty bracelet! We have seen pieces from this artisan before in Elevita boxes, and they are always lovely. I wish they had provided a bit of info on what kind of stones these are, though. It was handmade in the Philippines by a single mother artisan.
The Verdict: Elevita is awesome! I really appreciate everything they do to help global artisans, and I love feeling like I'm a part of that. This month's items were all very nice, but I think I might have to proclaim the soap my favorite for the month! I don't have retail values for everything, but I think $30 for this box is a bargain.
