I keep my glasses by my bedside in this cute multi-colored case. I wish it was sold separately.
Chris W.
Love the mortar & pestle.

This is such a lovely subscription box. My beautiful bowl was broken, and they replaced it very quickly. I appreciate that, but even more, appreciate the thoughtfulness put into these pieces. I feel teary-eyed when I open the box and know that artisans from all around the world made these stunning works of art ~ in perhaps very harsh conditions, no less. I am very humbled and grateful.
Karin A.
The apron is very pretty, the bowl is gorgeous but that wooden mortar smelled so strong (and not in a pleasant way) that my whole kitchen smelled like it after I opened it. I assumed cooking ustensils should have a neutral smell to not affect the flavour of what you are cooking. It is a pity as it looks great! I used lemon, vinegar and even oil to clean and treat the wood but the smell is still here. Maybe with time...
Louise M.
I very much love the Chef’s box. Really, every single element I keep where everyone can see them around my kitchen area - love it.
Wendy F.
Bad merchandise. This was supposedly a food safe bowl. This is what the bowl looked like on 1st use.
Nicole W.
Really great box with well made items! I have put all of them to use!
Pam D.
I love this box so much that I gave two of them as gifts at Christmas.
The wooden rolling pin is so smooth. The hand-painted measuring cup is adorable, just a great box.
Vicki H.
I really get a lot of use from this chef box. The apron is quality workmanship. I’ve been using my grandmas which makes it over 100 years old. It’s earned it’s permanent place on a hook on the kitchen wall. The utensil pack carries my markers, pens, short ruler, etc to Sunday School. I’ve always wanted a mortar and pestle. And the bowl!! Now it’s a fruit bowl with endless possibilities.
Cindy A.
I love everything however I did think the bowl would be a bit larger. It’s lovely though.
Kendra S.
Love the bake and chef boxes! Both were fantastic and contained pieces I will use regularly!!!
Susan B.
Loved the box. Concerned about the crackled cracked finish on the bowl, not sure if its food safe.
Charlotte G.
Very nice quality. Just what I expected.
Vicki H.
I love everything about the Chef Box. I have a use for everything. Even the silverware carrier, I use it for Sunday School pens, penciles, markers and even a 6 inch ruler. I’ve always wanted a mortar and pestle and enough can’t be said about the apron, and the bowl is just my style. Thanks GlobeIn
Amy W.
Perfect size bowl to put out my "imperfect" produce! Great that I can support an artisan and keep food from being wasted!!
Gloria L.
Loved it so much I bought it again. Inside the box:
Berber Serving Bowl from Morocco: LOVE - STUNNING
Small Mortar & Pestle from Indonesia: LIKE - Nice but mine seemed to be stained oddly like a spot was missed
Tatreez Apron from Palestinian Territories - LOVE - well made
Palm Leaf Utensil Holder from Mexico - Assorted: LOVE - cute and different than the usual basket
Laura B.
Loved every item in my Globein box!
Ellen M.
I was disappointed in the quality of the bowl that I received there were bubbles in the glazing that compromised it's use for food. I did contact CS and they were so nice. I received two other small bowls in it's stead which were just gorgeous. I actually collect bowls so am kind of picky about them. I am very impressed with GLOBEIN as a whole and excited to receive my next box.
Kelli T.
Bowl is lovely....
Catherine B.
This is a lovely box! The mother and pestle is made of beautiful wood, the bowl is just the right size for many uses, and the apron is perfect!
Joyce B.
I liked this box , I loved the bowl and my niece loved the apron.Avery nice box.
Daria R.
I like everything in that box but the bowl is not the best quality. I even complained and got a best customer service but a small piece was broken even in a new one. I think those bowls are just for decor not for use. Otherwise create box.
Sandra K.
I just love it such nice workmanship. I just wish I could keep receiving them. Perhaps when money isn't so tight.
Thank You
Heidie D.
My favorite piece is the silverware holder. I just started taking my lunch to school. Now I have something to carry my silverware in!
Lauren S.
I love the chef box! I love the fact that they are everyday items that i will continue to use.
Karen M.
Sadly, I opened my box and found the large bowl broken into 4-5 pieces. Everything else was OK. I don't know that I'll ever use the mortar and pestle, and I asked the chef at our retirement home if he ever used one, and he said "I've never heard of it". The silverware basket is darling, and I tried to take it down to our dining room but discovered that the Dining Program Committee had decided we could use our lovely silverware, and did not need to bring our own. I also wore the cute apron the evening I was on hostess duty, and suggested it for other hostesses. However, the chair person of the Dining Program said she'd already thought to buy full sized red aprons so our members could recognize the Hostess, or Host, among our crowds at dinner time.
Nonetheless, the mortar and pestle are very handsome, I am sure I can find a use. Also, I will use the apron, no doubt. I'm not sure how I'll use the "utensil holder" but I bet I can find a use.
I hope I hear back soon about what to do regarding the beautiful broken bowl. I did send a message about it.
Michelle K.
Ended up buying another one
Anne-Marye H.
Love the bow and apron.
Nancy H.
I love this box. The apron is made from really nice cotton and has a beautiful simple stitching on it. It is appropriate for a female or male to use. The bowl is beautiful as well and just the right size for serving something for a dinner.
Hannah R.
These items are so unique and lovely. I am enjoying the colorful and collaborative elements of bringing the world into my kitchen. Thank you for the time and thoughtfulness that goes in to sourcing gifts.
Renee L.
Bowl has a chip on edge. Can't use it for food
Joanne-Jack S.
the berber bowl mini crack but will be fine for pop corn not sure for soup; as for the other items I will gift them.
Mayra C.
This was a great little box! My mother loves to cook- the craftsmanship of the bowl and mortar was esquisite.
Siobahn P.
I think has been the most useful box. The bowl is the perfect medium size. Love the handpainted designs.
Connie W.
Very cute, love the apron
Dorothy D.
WOW!!! the wood pestle and mortar is absolutely amazing. This will be passed down in my family. The wood is so fantastic and it has weight. The ceramic bowl is a little less quality BUT I think it will make a perfect chip bowl. I love the woven silverware or I thought for a toothbrush and toothpaste is beautiful. I will use this in my travels. I am so glad I received the black apron. I will use this as well... it is a waist apron which is perfect and not restrictive. Thanks Globein!
Rachael L.
When the item comes into my home i have to opportunity to continue the story of the item and make memories.
Joan S.
The glaze on the bowl was chipped. The rest was fine.
Judith S.
My chefs box is so fun. The apron has a handmade decorative design that is so classic. The untinsel hold fits my chopsticks so they aren’t rolling around the space in the utensil drawer. The other cooking items are so fun to use.
Judith S.
I love the tea basket. The tea box apron and other items are so unique and spectacular. The quality of the workmanship is wonderful.
Natasha T.
I love these boxes but the chef box the most it fits me and my life to a tee and i couldnt be happier
Susan C.
I loved everything in the box! Tho I am disappointed in the bowl as it has a crack going down the side!
Kayleen M.
Wonderful quality! So well made and beautiful. Love these items. Used some as gifts and friends loved it too.
Peggy H.
Enjoyed each item that was crafted by your artisans. This was a special 3-month Christmas gift from my daughter
BobbiJo S.
Every box from Globein is wonderful! Even if there's a product I can't or won't us, they !take wonderful gifts!
Alice W.
I am not happy with the products I received. I love the concept, but not the products themselves. I am trying to cancel my subscription but it is a struggle. So far, I have been unsuccessful and an getting very frustrated.
Stacey B.
I love the design of all of the products in my Chef box. In particular, the bowl is the perfect size for serving vegetables or small salads and the wooden mortar and pestle is beautifully made.
The only word of caution is that I washed the mortar and pestle with gentle dish soap and water (didn't submerse it in the water but did wash it inside and out) and the outside of the mortar cracked and split quite a bit as it dried. I'm disappointed about that as the set is otherwise so lovely. I have now treated it with oil (a coconut oil product specially designed for wooden cutting boards, etc. ) to hopefully prevent further damage in the future.
Fernandes S.
Live the apron, but ties are too short for my waist. Serving dish is beautiful. I'm using the woven cutlery holder for makeup brushes.
Audrey M.
Great products. I can't wait to use them.
Jeanie S.
Very interesting and attractive box.
Hannah K.
Love the size and hand painted quality of the bowl, it’s one of my favorite pieces from Globein, and the wooden mortar and pestal beautiful
Sue M.
Fun pieces and useful.
Sara B.
Very happy with it
Stacy N.
Every piece was gorgeous
Sarah L.
I like the look of the bowl, but when we used it to serve potato chips, the oil from the chips stained the bowl. That makes me worry that it's not actually food safe.
Mary K.
Love the mortar and pedestal, the bowl had some small clear chips, mostly from being extremely cold outside. Still beautiful though.
Laura S.
I split up the set. Apron went to hairdresser because she’s tall & thin. The apron is small. The bowl sits under my Bok Choi pot as waterer.
Leona M.
Received broken bowel in pieces, otherwise it was good.
Courtney K.
This was my first box as part of my subscription and I love everything about it! The craftmanship of each item far exceeded my expectations, you can really tell the artisans are truly passionate about their work. I can't wait to get into the kitchen and put everything to use!!
Mayra V.
Beautiful bowl and apron!
Elizabeth H.
I love this box. The deep bowl has become my new favorite and I have reached for it many times to scramble eggs, marinate meat, mix items, etc. and I have been using the mortar and pestle! Another great box!
J. G.
The mortar and pestle are lovely. The apron is very nice and well-finished. However, there is an issue with the bowl. I'm a potter and I noticed that the bowl has something called "crazing" in the clear overglaze. Crazing is a crackle that is barely visible when the pot is dry. However, when wet, the cracks allow moisture to seep through to the clay below and become more visible. Crazing is considered a defect in pottery caused by problems in the glaze recipe itself or incorrect firing or cooling temperatures in the kiln. Pottery with crazing is considered not to be food safe since the liquid that can seep between the cracks can trap harmful bacteria in the bowl and transfer it to food. While the bowl is very pretty, it should not be considered food safe and should be marked as such.
Amy L.
The bowl is beautiful! I keep fruit and veggies in it on my breakfast bar until I have a party will break it out as a serving dish! The apron is perfect I am not tall and it doesn’t hang below my knees! Using the silverware holder for calligraphy pens! It was a wonderful gift from my son and girlfriend with 2 boxes to go!
Jasmine
I liked this box. The bowl was very pretty, the apron well made and the utensil holder will be perfect for holding some of my art supplies while traveling!
Laura T.
Everything is really pretty (especially the bowl) and quality seems really good. I haven’t used any of the items yet. This was my first box and was a surprise as it was a gift. I am very happy with it.
Barbara H.
I really like the looks of The chefs box. I would not use the bowl for cooking or putting food in as the finish is not good. So I will use it as decoration piece. I do love the mortar and pestle bowl set and will use them. The apron is very nice.
Sandra G.
I’m using the bowl as a fruit bowl, I like the size of it. The apron is very well made. I’m pleased with the whole box.
Holly L.
The Chef Box rocks! What a beautiful hand painted bowl, and natural mortar & pestle. The apron is really well-made. I think I'm going to use the kitchen tool case as a jewelry holder for when I travel.
Amy M.
I love these products! They are perfect additions to my kitchen and I love artisanal touch it brings.
Dana I.
I was a little disappointed with this box that was chosen for me. I probably won’t use the utensil holder at all and the items other than the tray infrequently. It also took 14 days to deliver my box. This is unacceptable, especially with me paying for shipping.
NANCY P.
i always enjoy my surprise box from GlobeIn, and this month was no exception. Two of the items became gifts for my daughters, and I kept the pretty apron for myself. I thought my daughter with two children would enjoy the bowl because we use our red and white bowl from a previous box all of the time for popcorn. I have also enjoyed ordering special items for gifts.
Michelle S.
I can’t think of anyway the items were useful
Sarah K.
The ceramic bowl is chipped and the wooden mortar and pestle is very small. Seems very expensive for what you get.
Melanie m.
Really like this box!
Amanda B.
Love the small mortar and pestle, and the bowl! However, the ceramic bowl changed color as soon as I ran water on it... like there were cracks in the glaze. The apron is cute and well made.
Kim V.
I would have rated this five out of five stars if the apron strings were long enough to fit, I'm plus size (around 1x) and I can't tie the apron around my waist. Luckily I have a friend I can ask to add fabric onto it for me, but I'm still disappointed that I have to do this.
Susan R.
I initially loved this box, especially the bowl from Morraco. When I used the bowl for popcorn, I noticed the topping was seeping through the grazing in the bowl. I carefully washed the bowl by hand, but it is now stained gray and not usable. Also I see no information about lead. The information I received didn't say it was decorative only. I am very unsatisfied with this bowl.
Jo S.
Bowl is chipped and has crackling throughout. Will not be able to use.
Sherry F.
Love the bowl! The design is very pretty & it compliments my existing tableware. The apron is very chic with the trim on the pocket. The mortar & pestle are perfect for blending spices. My 6 y/o granddaughter loves the utensil holder for carrying her color pencils in.
Maureen G.
The bowl is beautiful, and the quality of the products is good. Not quite sure what to do with one utensil holder. Items like that should be included but in a number sufficient to be usable.
Jennie S.
Looking forward to each new surprise box.
lanier a.
Need new boxes.
Same time after time.
After 6 or so months feeling forces not joyous.
Sabrina S.
So beautifully crafted
Jennifer L.
The bowl that came in my box was chipped along the rim and customer service was fantastic in having it replaced so very quickly. Unfortunately, my replacement arrived yesterday and within minutes of removing it from the box and handling it, the blue paint along the rim started to chip off! I feel that there may be some defect in the glazing process as 2 bowls had the same issue. The glazing on the replacement bowl also appears to be cracked. I am very leery about using the bowl for food because of these problems.
Rachel C.
Lovely artistry and utility. Very happy!
Donna W.
Beautiful... Nice quality Looking forward to my next shipment...
Larytia m.
I really enjoyed this box the rolling pin is perfect for my son. The bowl was taken by my oldest son as a cereal bowl (teenagers) the measure cup is so pretty I use it as a serving dish.
Julie P.
I divided this box up to give as gifts
Tawny S.
I don't think that I will ever use a utensil holder. I am trying to figure out an alternative use.
Mary N.
The bowl is smashed. And this is one of several breakable items which have been broken, cracked, smashed
Margie C.
Loved it! Love the bowl!
Melissa
Wonderful!
I absolutely loved every single item in this box. The bowl, especially, is absolutely gorgeous and I look forward to using it every single time!
Mariah
I want to jump with joy every time a new box comes to my house, it's so fun!
I've never had a negative thought about the products that come in my GlobeIn box. I know the items are of high quality and are made with love!
Hilary
Perfect Gift
I gave this as a gift to my mom and she absolutely loved it! The Berber serving bowl has amazing bright colours and instantly became a family favourite for family dinners. Also, my mom really likes mortar and pestle. She has always wanted one!
