What is an Explore Local Box?
If you don’t have time to explore a new city or you want to reminisce about one you have visited, you can get a box delivered and bring the exploration to you. The box is filled with locally made foods and products. It is so important to support the merchants who keep our towns unique. It is a perfect idea to give as a gift for your travelling friends. They also have a kids add-on to get your little ones excited about your upcoming trip.
You can buy the boxes they have previously featured. They have a subscription service so that you can get the new box that comes out every month!
What was in my box?
I was given the choice of which box I would like and I chose my local Boston, Massachusetts. I was provided a complimentary Boston box which was filled with jam, caramel candy, chocolate, a Boston spice mix, a card, a post card, a cute dish towel and a historical book for my kids. For Christmas this year I was also given a Rhode Island box!
How can I get my Explore Local Box?
You can visit Explore Local Box website and buy one or enter my giveaway. They would love to hear from you in the comments about what city you would love to see featured in the coming months!\
Why Explore Local Box is a great gift idea?
I plan to send a Rhode Island box to my parents because it is a perfect way to feel like you are at a place you miss. It is also a great way to get someone excited about an upcoming trip or even let them know about a surprise trip that you have planned for them!
In honor of their new box for my home state of Rhode Island, we are running a new giveaway!
