Litu Box Artisan Subscription Box October 2015 Review and Coupon Code

Litu Box is a brand new subscription. This is their first box and it's available currently as a one-time purchase. Subscriptions go live in December, just in time to gift one! This subscription is dedicated to providing high quality, handcrafted artisan products as well as organic and ecofriendly items each month. You will receive anything from healthy foods, bath and body goods and women's accessories to handmade jewelry or eco-friendly home goods.

The box was exploding with goodies. The mission statement of Litu Box is this:

Our mission is simple: provide you with high-quality items that you can feel good about receiving. Healthy snacks, handmade jewelry crafted by artisans from around the world, brands that follow ethical and sustainable business practices; these are just some of the amazing things we look for--- and you can expect--- in a Litu Box.

I think they definitely hit the mark with this box! Even better, this month part of the proceeds of the box sales will go to supporting UNICEF's humanitarian operation in Syria, providing children in refugee camps much needed supply of water, clothing & immunization.

The Cost: $30/month

What You Get: Each month you will receive a box of handmade and artisan goodies worth over $35. You will receive high quality, handcrafted products made by local and international artisans featuring anything from bath & home goods to women's accessories, eco-friendly products, jewelry & more!

When I first opened the box, right on top was a placard with a quote from the Dalai Lama. I love it so much, I'm going to frame it. It's a beautiful quote and it's a beautiful print. Perfect.

Each box has an information card explaining what is included and giving some interesting details about the production of the item and where it's from.

Just Good Chocolate Better World Brownies- This is a fair trade and certified organic, deliciously chocolatey brownie mix! I've had these before and they are very, very good.
Value: $7

Equal Exchange Organic 55% Dark Chocolate Minis- While I don't consider 55% to be dark, these chocolates are rich and velvety smooth. They're produced in Switzerland, are vegan and soy free and are made using 100% Fair Trade ingredients harvested from farmer co-operatives in the Dominican Republic, Peru and Paraguay. There are a lot of these, too! Enough that I can share without feeling like I'm depriving myself.
Value: $2

YumEarth Organics Vitamin C Lollipops- I have a sweet tooth and I really like these. They're sort of sour which makes them extra tasty. They use certified organic ingredients and are 100% vegan. They're made in Mexico which I never considered. I thought they were made here in the US. Either way, these are a great treat. And there's so many of them!!
Value: $2

Tili Glass Handmade Glass Earrings- These are made in Chile in a workshop set up by a husband and wife team called Calypso Chile Glass. They are part of the World Fair Trade organization and provide a living wage job to nearly 30 families. These are not my style but they are gorgeous.
Value: $18

Bow & Arrow Candle Co. Witches Brew Soy Candle- These are handpoured, 100% natural soy candles with cotton wicks. It smells unbelievably good! It has a combination of bergamot, cinnamon, jasmine, rose, black tea, patchouli and musk. So good. Also included were two bonus tea lights in Pumpkin Spice and Tobacco Bourbon. Everything smells amazing.
Value: $7

Litu Box Handmade Worry Doll and Gemstone Kit- These worry dolls are made with leftover handwoven fabric and crafted by Guatemalan artisans. 100% of the sales of these dolls goes to support UNICEF's work to provide Syrian children with water, clothing and vaccinations. You can buy these in the Litu Box shop.
Value: $5

Maya Traditions Handwoven Drawstring Pouch- These are made on a foot loom and is a work of art. It's gorgeous, vibrant and so well crafted. I've never been a big fan of rainbow patterns but this is so high quality I want to keep it. Or frame it, or something! That's how nice it is.
Value: $7

VERDICT: This Litu Box was so fun to unbox! It felt like the products just kept coming! Part of why I enjoyed this box so much is because I love candles and those scents are perfect for Fall. Part of it is because there is such a worldwide feel to the box. There is such a wonderful variety and a great array of products- from jewelry to organic snacks. It really feels like you've opened a box of beautiful gifts... to yourself! If this is a sign of what's to come, this is going to be an interesting subscription.

Here's the best part:

Currently, this is a one-time purchase and you can get the October box right here. Use code BITSBOXES40 to get 40% off this box!! That is SUCH a great coupon. It's basically a steal. It expires on Oct. 25th and there are a limited number of boxes available so get it while you can.
