I am getting my first GlobeIn Artisan box today - I will post here what I got and my impressions.    I've seen what the box looks like already (cause I cannot help spoilers!!) and I know I will love it.

anyone else sub to GlobeIn?

 
I purchased the Holiday Home box and loved it. I signed up for a sub afterwards and received the Jan and Feb boxes. I am not sure when my March's box is arriving because I can't find my tracking email! We love it and open the box as a family.

 
@@biancardi The whole family loves it!  It's a big deal each month when it arrives because everyone wants the special packaging. Everything has been useful in my hosuehold.

My box arrived today. I took a peak at the colors, but will stay mum until after you post. Plus I have to wait until the official unveiling with the family.

 
so, I got caught up - here is what I got

I love all of the items....I was hoping for a more detailed weave or a teal color in the palm basket, but that is life - I had been hoping for a teal basket and the purple bowl, but they are all beautiful and I am very happy with my items!

The tote bag is big!  And I love the design;  rice will be tried this weekend - huge rice eater here!  the nibs are tasty - I love chocolate covered espresso beans, so these are similar :)   the lip balm is very hydrating - great night treatment.

What colors did you get, PA Anna?  

This might be a sub box that kicks another out the window soon...haha


 
wow! That's a nice one! I definitely need to check this one out. Thanks for posting the spoiler!

 
Here is what I received. It's hectic here so no picture. It takes me forever to post a picture on this website.

I was hoping for a purple basket and bowl. I received a beautiful teal accented basket with a more detailed weave. My bowl is the same as @biancardi. It's beautiful. Both the bowl and basket are beautiful. The tote is sturdy. My boys will enjoy the rice and nibs. I gave my sister the lip balm because I could smell the nuts. I do not like a nutty scent.

Maybe I will post a picture.

 
ohhh, that is the one I wanted!    Just for the color alone.  It is just that the one I got isn't my favorite color.  It is nice, but that is more of a wow to me.  now I have basket envy ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
@@biancardi My older son already claimed it :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . Those baskets are serious business in my house which is why I have to wait until everyone is home. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Apparently I've been unaware of my family's deep need for baskets from GlobeIn.

You can send them an email if you really want a teal basket. They will do their best to honor requests. I haven't yet because it is fun watching everyone waiting to see what color is the basket. 

I have basket envy too!

I received my GlobeIn and I am not happy with this new development that they are doing.  They are jacking up the "value" of the items by saying it includes "free shipping".  Err, no.  If the retail is 9.99, stating it is worth 12.00 with free shipping is not free.

They totally did a very unethical thing here with the prices.  The candles sell for 5.00, they valued them at 8.00 - huh?  Even the retailer has it at 5.00

I have two more months with them, and if this trend continues, I will not be subscribing with them after my sub is up.  

I also dislike that the basket is always part of the worth of the box.  If the basket is their "bag", then it should be an extra, as the whole part of a subscription is to try new and unique items.

Sorry for the rant, but when I saw the price jack on their informational card, I got pissed off.

I noticed that too.  I have been a big fan of this sub, but the price change is ridiculous. 

 
@RaeW  I love this sub too, but I dislike what they did here.  very much so.  I did email them letting them know of my concern over this change.  I hope I was nice in my email, but firm about it

This is worse that "Memevalue" - if you ever got a memebox, they always listed the full retail value of an item, even though it never sold for that amount anywhere!

 
This sub is pricier than I like.

I also noticed they jacked up the retail value to include the cost of shipping from whatever retailer they got it from. Um, no.  That's not how life works.

Valuewise? Meh.

Fun? Sure. Especially if you're into the whole fair trade thing.

yes, I let them know about the pricing and they seemed to be very responsive in the emails.  We shall see if they continue that in the upcoming box.

 
June box is Entertain. Looking at the photo seems it might contain olive oil and perhaps a table cloth?

 
the official spoiler is

coasters

you cannot go by the photos, because that is just the theme, not the items.  There have been photos with cupcakes in Bake, and we didn't get cupcakes (we got brownies ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> )  They do release spoilers and then the full box is revealed before it ships out.
