When you sign up, there’s a quiz to determine your preferences and interests, then you’re matched with a new themed box every month. For $49 per month, each box promises at least $70 in retail value with items ranging from outdoor gear, barware, home, and kitchen goods, clothing, and more. If you're not into the boxes selected for you, there are many others to choose from.
Unlike most subscription boxes, you get to preview your Bespoke Post box before it ships and you can easily swap for a different box or skip the month for no charge. You only pay for the months that interest you.
This is a review of the "Snug" box.
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we review boxes.)
First Impressions
Bespoke Post almost always has a good presentation. This is probably the biggest box I've received from Bespoke. There was a little card inside that had a recipe for spiked hot chocolate.
Inside the Bespoke Post "Snug" Box
Slowtide Polar Fleece Blanket - Estimated Price $40
We have an embarrassing amount of blankets in our household. So what's one more? Actually, I envisioned this one in my car, along with some other comfort/emergency items. That, however, depends on if my daughter will let me have it back. This item from Slowtide is a light fleece blanket measuring 50 by 66 inches. Subscribers can receive it in three designs: Hayden, Chico, and Yukon, which this one is. (There is a fourth, sold out option.) There are also many more options on the Slowtide website. It is thin and light, but soft and warm. It is perfect for the couch or the campfire and it's big enough for two or to hog all to yourself (See: my daughter.) While we'll likely use this as an auxiliary blanket, it was exactly what I wanted and was expecting. No notes.
Note: I didn't find these particular blankets on the website and prices for similar ones run from $30-$45. Seemed like ones with similar designs were going for $40. So, I'm estimating this blanket at that.
Mizu D7 Insulated Bottle - Retail Price $40
If the blanket isn't enough to keep you warm, bring along some hot coffee, cocoa, or soup in this insulated bottle. It holds 22 oz. and is made with double-wall 18/8 stainless steel with vacuum-sealed screw cap. The website claims it will keep drinks hot for 18 hours and cold for 36. The insulated lid doubles as mug. The whole thing weighs in at 17.6 oz. and can be toted around with a light weight carry cord. This would be perfect for making some hot/iced coffee at home to drink at the campsite the next morning. I like that it's thin enough for a car's cup holder or your backpack.
Verdict
This was one of those Bespoke Post boxes that was exactly what was expected. While I can't say I was wowed by anything; that's not the point. Bespoke is a subscription that lets you choose what you want, when you want it, for a savings. I chose "Snug" for the blanket, which delivered on all expectations. The insulated bottle was a welcomed and thoughtful add-on. All in all, this is exactly a box I would expect from Bespoke Post. I like the ones that pair two or three items together and save me money in the process. To say it one more time, it wasn't the most exciting box, but it was what I wanted, of good quality, and at a great price. What more can you ask for?
Let's Talk About Value
I'm estimating this box at $80 (I'm not sure exactly what the price of the blanket is). That is $26 more than the cost of this sub ($54 with shipping). That's not a bad savings. With the money I saved, I could rent a campsite to test out my new items.
