MyIrelandBox August 2018 Review
This box comes with a lot of literature. Rather than a traditional short info sheet, this box contains a full letter from the creators of MyIrelandBox with a lot of information and insight on why each particular item was chosen. This month’s theme is Old Irish Homestead!
Saturday Workshop Cow - Retail Value $28.53 (€25.00)
This is a handmade wooden toy made with local (to the makers!) Irish beech! Saturday Workshop is run by a father-daughter team who combined have a background in architecture, engineering, and boat building, and their skilled craftsmanship definitely shows in this piece. This also comes in a lovely box perfect for gifting, and I think this would be a lovely addition to a babies nursery, especially one themed with farm animals!
Rebecca Killen Ceramics Ceramic Milk Bottle - Retail Value $36.81
This fine bone china handmade ceramic milk bottle truly is a piece of art! Subscribers could have received the millennial pink, white, and blue, and I am so happy to have received the millennial pink version! The gold accents at the mouth of the bottle are so beautiful, and while this is safe for liquids I am going to use it as a small flower vase (and I mean small—I don’t have a ruler, but I would estimate this to be about six inches tall).
Kelly Cards Ireland in Say Cheese - Retail Value Unavailable
This is a big greeting card, and in America is does cost extra postage to mail due to the square shape. The folded card features a woman with some milk jugs on a cart pulled by a donkey at an Irish Creamery, and I think this card really does a lovely job of tying in the cow toy and the ceramic milk bottle into the overall Old Irish Homestead theme! The card is blank, and I actually already have the perfect recipient in mind!
Verdict: The August box from MyIrelandBox is much more my style! I am seriously in love with my new millennial pink and gold milk bottle (made of a ~fancy~ fine bone china), and while the cow toy isn’t a good fit for me personally I will be holding onto it for the next baby shower I am invited to—and I can definitely appreciate the fine quality and craftsmanship. The card did a great job of tying it all together, and I do feel like I have experienced the Old Irish Homestead. I couldn’t find a value of the card, but the toy and the milk bottle are valued at $65.34, which is $10 more than the cost of the box! This isn’t a box for people who want a screaming deal, but I do think it is a lovely subscription for those who have an Irish heritage or those who visited the country and fell in love with it.

Value Breakdown: This box costs $45 + $10.50 shipping, which means that each of the 3 items in the box has an average cost of $16.83. That is a bit high for the card, but that is well below the value of the other two items!
