In a super fun surprise, I found a FAIRtreasure box in my mailbox yesterday! I had forgotten I’d be getting a box to review from them, so it was a total surprise when it arrived. It also happened to be the only box I received from my mail lady yesterday.
FAIRtreasure ships via USPS and always ships in the first half of the month. They are consistent with their shipping and don’t ever seem to have any crazy issues or delays like some of the other box companies.
This is one of those boxes that I never know what to expect from. They send such a variety of items that you really never know what you will get. I was extra excited this month when I saw fabric in the box and couldn’t wait to see what that was!
FAIRtreasure does individual information cards so they don’t do an overall information card for their boxes. They do include a card which gives you social media information, their website, etc.
Here is what the October FAIRtreasure box included:
~Ton Fai Group Marquet-Open Weave Scarf ($23): This is probably my most favorite FAIRtreasue box item ever. It’s a scarf, which I love and the information card tells you about the women who actually made the scarf. Grandma Kum as she’s known makes the scarves because she loves to do it and so she can save some money for her grandchildren!
~Jallpa Nina Artisan Group Ceramic Owl Topper ($17.95): Jallpa Nina Artisan Group is located in Peru and offers their workers not only healthy working conditions, but also a training and support. I wanted to open a bottle of wine yesterday just so I could test this out because it is so cute!! Maybe tonight during the Tigers game. I may need the wine then.
All totaled I came up with a value of $40.95 for the October FAIRtreasure box. FAIRtreasure starts at $30/month and always provides great fair trade items. And, of course, the chance to learn and support artists around the world. If I could find a place that had those scarves available, I would certainly pick some up for holiday gifts!
