Elevita March 2018 Review
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, detailing the contents. I especially appreciate the detail it provides about the artisans who created this month's handicrafts. It gives it such a special, personal touch!
Gift Bags
These gift bags are beautiful! Elevita provided information about the artisan, but not what country she is from. It is a new artisan who is supporting a large family with her handwoven gift bags and other crafts. I think they are gorgeous! She makes these and other woven crafts from abaca fibers.
Wooden Puzzle, India
Nope, I never could figure out how to put it back together! I passed it off to my ten-year-old son who is busy working away at it now. How fun! The wood is so smooth and beautiful! This was hand-carved by an artisan in India. He is part of a nonprofit that helps craftsmen who suffer severe hardships.
Earrings, Philippines
These earrings are so gorgeous! I just love them! I think every Elevita box comes with a piece from this particular artisan, which is just fine by me. Her beadwork is brilliant! She is an artisan in the Philippines who uses her art to help support her family.
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 great! I especially love the earrings! I can't often find values for the items Elevita sends, but I always feel like the value far outstrips the cost of the box. Thirty dollars for these lovely items is a steal!
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you will receive the April box. Order by the 18th to get the current month's box.
Value Breakdown: This box cost me $30 with free shipping, which means that each of the 3 items in the box has an average cost of $10.
