GlobeIn May 2016 Benefit Basket Review
The GlobeIn Benefit Basket is an artisan subscription box and a great box for people who love the regular GlobeIn box, but want a bit less. The Benefit Basket contains one crafted good from a remarkable, remote artisan, all in a colorful, handwoven basket from their weaving collective in Oaxaca, Mexico. You will also get story of the artisan, their community, and how you are making an impact on their lives. The Benefit Basket is $19.95/month or $56.95 for 3 months, but you can get $7.00 off your 1 box of a 3 month subscription with the code TRYBENEFIT.
Everything ships in a little square box.
First Look. The information guide was on top.
The information guide gives details about where the items in the box were made and about the artisans who make it.
GlobeIn Signature Palm Leaf Basket (Oaxaca, Mexico) $12.00 Every GlobeIn Benefit Basket comes with one of these hand-woven baskets. I use them to store toys and small items in my house, and I use them to wrap gifts.
Shibori Scarf by Matr Boomie, (India) $25.00 This beautiful scarf was made by the Shibori method. Fabric is folded, stitched and moved to create unique dye patterns. The scarf is made by a group of Muslim women, who work for Matr Boomie. Matr Boomie works to create economic opportunities for women, peope with special needs, and more.
This is a closer look at the fabric. You can see the different patterns from the dye.
The bottom of the scarf has little tassels, which were also made by hand.
Final Thought: This month's featured item had more value than the cost of the box. This makes the pretty basket just extra. I love the scarf this month. It's so light weight, you can wear it though the summer. I love the idea of using this has a shaw, specially when you are in the chilly movie theaters. Subscribe and get $7.00 off your 1 box of a 3 month subscription with the code TRYBENEFIT. You will pay under $17.00/box.
