The GlobeIn Premium Box is a monthly artisan subscription that sends you original crafts by global artisans. Each box contains handcrafted items from around the world and the stories of the artists who made the pieces.
There are two levels of subscription: Essential and Premium. The Essential subscription comes with one handpicked artisan item each month, and the Premium comes with a full curated collection.
This is a review of the Premium box, which is $40.00 per month.
GlobeIn offers one new theme every month. They also have 3-5 best selling theme boxes that they restock each month. Users have from the 1st to the 10th of the month to make their theme choice. If you don't choose by that date, GlobeIn will send a random box from what's in stock. They do guarantee that you won't receive a duplicate theme!
This box was sent to us for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

GlobeIn June 2019 "Picnic 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 gives the names and shows photographs of the artisans who made them! I absolutely love knowing more about each item and the hands that crafted it.
Just a heads up, since there aren't prices listed in the booklet for the items, I'm going off the prices given in this Globein spoilers post for items I couldn't find online.

Small Picnic Basket, 13" x 7", Ghana- Listed Value $40.00
It is a good day when I am able to add a new basket to my collection! This little picnic basket couldn't be cuter! Sizable enough for the most important items in life (grapes, expensive cheese, some booze) this would be a really adorable accent to any picnic or gathering. Made by an artisan named Alebipoorum in Ghana, the process to make this basket is pretty time-consuming! Each one takes about a week to finish. I can't wait to bring this to my next summery get together filled with snacks. I might even just use it as a purse since woven is in this season and it would actually be a great size for my wallet, DSLR camera, and lipsticks.

Tall Handblown Glass Pair, Approx. 5" T x 3" D. 17oz., Mexico - Listed Value $30.00
Handblown glasses are a staple in this box, and I love that I have a collection growing in my cabinets of some of the most beautiful glassware out there! These taller tumblers are beautifully imperfect and feature a lovely red, white, and blue rim. They complement the picnic basket perfectly! I can't help but get Americana vibes from the color palette this month and I think these would be perfect for serving a 4th of July inspired white sangria, with strawberries and blueberries.

Blue Splatter Enamel Serving Tray, 9" x 6" x 1.25", India - Listed Value $18.00
Finally, our last item is a really pretty enamel serving tray. I love keeping trays like this around my house because they can be used for so many things. I have a similar one that I keep in my bathroom with my current skincare products. I also have a few little ones that I use to organize my nail polishes and jewelry. Again, this piece perfectly coordinated with the glasses and basket, so together they would make a really lovely picnic set.
The Verdict: GlobeIn really transported me into a summer mindset this month. My husband and I picnic frequently in the warm months and we also attend a ton of backyard BBQs and celebrations. I love that I can transport some delicious snacks to these events in such a stylish basket. They tray first perfectly inside so I can easily present my food on a stylish surface. The glasses are a welcome addition to my growing handmade glassware collection!
