The theme for May is Hydrate. GlobeIn has partnered with water.org.

We are thrilled to share that we have partnered with Water.org, a nonprofit that pioneers safe water and sanitation solutions around the world for our May Artisan Box.

On this blue planet, water is the ultimate elixir. Everything is better that’s hydrated—your body, your mood, your pets, your plants. This month’s kit offers your hydration efforts both practicality and pizazz.

Of course, water is no luxury—it’s a basic human right. So it seemed appropriate to partner up this month with Water.org, an organization working to bring safe water to all 663 million people around the world who currently lack it. This month, your drink is also someone else’s.

Time to look at the mini-version!

Our family looks forward to the GlobeIn boxes. J, age 7, loves learning about the items and where they are made. We found India on the world map.

The item for the April Benefit Basket is the Shibori Scarf Matr Boomie Scarf. No more cold necks and bosoms as businesses turn on their air conditioning.

The only tulip that the deer have not eaten.

GlobeIn Signature Palm Leaf Basket from Oaxaca, Mexico ($12)  is a beautiful basket woven by the indigenous Oaxacan artisans. They are created with discarded palm leaves and colored with natural colors.  The note that all baskets will be blue is in regards to May Globein Artisan Box, which is the version that has more than one item.  The box I am reviewing will have a variety of colors.

Matre Boomie is a fair trade company from India that works with artisans. The scarf is made in western Rajasthan, India by a technique handed down from generation to generation. The Shibori Technique is a traditional Japanese method of working harmoniously with dyes to create geometric and tie die patterns.

The Shibori Scarf ($25.00) is a lightweight cotton scarf with a tie dye pattern. It has eight tassels on each end. The scarf measures 62″L x 21″ W. It’s a great scarf to wear when the air conditioner kicks in adding a chill to the air or on a cool spring day. The blue is beautiful.

I’m crouching down trying not to get too wet because it is raining! The scarf felt lightweight on me while at the same time it added much-needed warmth in the cold rain. I think it has a fun look to it that can carry into the summer.

GlobeIn is  a subscription box that my family always enjoys. J, age 7, has plans for the basket. I like that the scarf is lightweight and plan to wear it when I feel that chill. The color compliments their Hydrate Theme. It’s a feel good box that provides practical things that are useful!
