Bespoke – July 2015 Review Bask

Disclosure: This box was paid for by me. All opinions are of my own and my family. There are affiliate links in this post.

Bespoke Post creates 2-3 themed boxes a month geared towards men. They include quality items that most of the time can be appreciated by all. Sometimes even dogs! A benefit of this box is that you can log into you account and select to skip the month as long as you do it by the 5th of the month. It’s actually by 2 am on the 6th on my account, but I am unsure if that is correct in every timezone.  Best to remember to skip before the end of the 5th of the month.

 

Subscription: Bespoke Post

Price: $45.00 a month

What to Expect: Each month 2-3 curated themed boxes are released. A box is selected for you based on a short survey. You can choose to stay with that selection, change it to a different selection from the current month, or pick an older box if it is still available.  It’s easier than it sounds.

Coupon: RESCUE for 30% for first time customers. This makes your box $31.50.

 

July ended up being an exciting month because the “Vibes” box contained Fillmore Headphones LSTN  rumored to be valued at $100.00 along with a Manhattan Reed Scented Diffuser by Antica Farmacista. This box sold out in hours which is not typical from what I have seen since being a subscriber. My older son prefers earbuds. I selected Bask because everyone loves blankets.

Here’s the first look. However, I want you to see it how I envision the box.

 

The sun came out for a little while. Ignore the lack of lawn care. We've been working on it when it's not raining.

Daisy, the English Shepherd, wants to play cards with her 6 year-old almost 7 year-old buddy. We had to keep her on a leash because the grass is even taller in the back yard! She wanted to go across the street and say hi to the neighbor. It was hard finding one photo where they both look somewhat photogenic!

A little bit about Daisy. She is an English Shepherd aka Farm Collie. She likes to herd on our country property that is a working farm. She feels it is her duty to know the whereabouts of the children at all times when she is at our main residence and to bark as much as she can at all delivery people. She was indignant about being on a leash.

 

Neutrogena

Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Sunscreen SPF 30:  This is the only time I’ve been disappointing by a Bespoke product selection. We are a group that is passionate about our sunscreen. I’m not feeling passionate about this brand.

Writing this part of the post is like pulling off a bandaid. Do it quickly, so it is painless.

 

Playing Cards by Theory 11

Monarch Playing Cards: These playing cards are sturdy, childproof cards that can fly out of little hands during a rousing game of war. It will make playing Go Fish difficult because there will be cards missing, never to be found.

Your secret is safe. No one will ever know you are using stylish cards to play Go Fish!

Go Throw Over Sized Linen Blanket:   This is the reason for buying a Bespoke Box. I linked to a similar pattern Go Throw that retailed at $120.00 and is on sale for $80.00. This blanket is 6.5′ x 4.5′.  It’s soft, light, and easy to pack. It’s durable and has corner pockets to hold stones or sands to keep the blanket in place on the beach or while on a picnic.

I love their tagline!

The blanket keeps going and going just like the Energizer Bunny.

 

Verdict: I bought Bask mainly for the blanket. The boys enjoyed the deck of cards, and all missing cards were found. I’m not crazy about the sunscreen, but that is my preference and a small part of the box. My little guy and I will be enjoying the great outdoors by blowing bubbles and eating picnics on our blanket.

    I almost got this!!!

    As an aside, you can tell that you are a good person by your dog. I mean yeah, kids look like their parents and yours is happy and lovable. But dogs really show their owners character and yours is just enviable. I look at your dog and think “no one with a dog that awesome could ever be a bad person.”

    I haven’t played with cards in so long. I send you some from the Lootcrate. I should get some dominoes!

      It’s still available. The blanket is worth it. Thank you for the compliment 🙂 Daisy wanted to come over and help me take pictures and visit the neighbors. My little guy at this point was done taking pictures. I don’t know how professional photographers do it. It’s hard getting a great shot with both the little guy and Daisy.

      Kelly, thank you. My little guy wants to know why can’t he be in every picture!

        I think we should have at least a pet or child picture in each post…
        Thanks SubElla.

    If that wasn’t a blanket but a plaid, I’d go for it. I’ve been wanting to see my husband dressed like Jamie from Outlander ever since the show started 🙂

      I had to google that. I can see why 🙂

      I bought my teenager and my husband long-sleeve shirts when they offered Unbutton. They love them.
