GlobeIn "Boho" Box Review
1 of 9
Each box from GlobeIn contains a booklet that talks more about the theme for the box and the items inside. This little booklet is almost as valuable to me as the items inside the box, because it gives background on each piece and often includes names and photos of the artisans behind them. I absolutely love knowing more about the products and the hands that crafted each item.
Time to check out our handmade goodies!

Sierra Whitewashed Terracotta Planter, Bangladesh
Measurements: 4.5" H x 5.5" W.
Materials: Whitewashed terracotta
I have a plant problem so I am always collecting new planters. This one is so cute with its little feet! Sure, it lacks a drainage hole (I prefer those in all of my planters) but it is perfect for dropping a plastic planter into to dress it up without a full-blown replant. If you lack a green thumb or just don't need a planter right now, it is also a great size for makeup brushes, pens, and more!

Unity Raffia Trivet, Uganda
Measurements: 10" across
Materials: Raffia Grass
This is my favorite piece this month. I LOVE woven and basket pieces and I have been compiling more pieces like this for my living room wall. I have a few antique baskets that are already hanging on the wall (well, they were before we took them down to paint this weekend!) and this round piece is perfect for adding some pretty color. I was surprised at how heavy duty this thing was, too! You could totally use it as a trivet if you wanted. I love that it was made by a single mom who is using her craft to support her family and inspire others in her community. The included card came with an extra discount for her pieces exclusively to GlobeIn subscribers and I think I might have to add another one of her gorgeous creations to my growing wall.

Lacquered Coconut Bowl, Vietnam
Measurements: about 5" by 5"
Materials: Natural Coconut and lacquer
I have found coconut bowls in subscriptions before, but I don't think one has ever arrived that was so pretty. I love the minty metallic interior! I have little catch-all bowls all over the house because I am someone who tends to just shed her jewelry and other important little things randomly. Bowls like this are handy for dropping my earrings, rings, watch, keys, ANYTHING really I know I will likely lose if I just set it down on a table.

Grasslands Table Runner, India
Measurements: 18.25" wide x 56" long
Materials: Bengalese madur grass
Sure, Will and I aren't hosting any fun gatherings in our home so far this year, but that is no reason not to decorate the table extra special for dinners in. Personally, I think my cooking deserves a pretty tablescape and this runner has some serious summer vibes! It also looks really great with my colorful Fiestaware collection.
The Verdict: The GlobeIn 'Boho' box was one of my faves as of late. Sometimes this box can feel like it is missing an item to free complete for either the theme for value, but I thought this month was great! I loved everything inside. My favorite is by far that trivet turned wall art, but the planter was a close second. The coconut bowl is already collecting my tiny accessories in the living room, and the runner looks great across my dining room table.
