Does anyone else miss traveling? We sure do… but more than that, we miss planning Mystery Trips for our clients! And we miss the reactions, the pictures, and the stories our adventurers share when they get back from a Mystery Trip.
Through our Mystery Trips, Pale Blue loves to give our adventurers a unique glimpse into life on a different slice of this planet. We wanted to share our three favorite subscription boxes that help give you just that. These boxes each allow you to learn more about the world, explore new people, places, and food, and to go boldly… all while staying home and staying safe during this uncertain time.
Do you love to wander open air markets when you’re traveling? To meander through the stalls, and take in all of the beautiful handcrafted products? If you’re like me and you’re missing this unique part of travel, then GlobeIn might just be your perfect subscription box for quarantine. Every month GlobeIn sends a box full of gorgeous handmade artisan products to your door. The boxes have different themes to choose from, with products ranging from kitchenware to jewelry. And the best part? All of their products are ethically-made, empowering women from around the world with fair wages. So you can feel good about the items you’re bringing into your quarantine nest.
Craving some new flavors from around the world? Sick of always eating the same go to meals you know how to cook? Enter . . . Universal Yums with tastes from around the world delivered to your doorstep. Every month, a variety of snacks, recipes, and trivia from a featured country are included in the box. We love that you can learn about a different country every month, whether it’s through trying new and interesting foods, reading through the informative guidebook, or trying out a few new recipes that are unique to that month’s country. This way you’ll get to experience one of the best parts of going somewhere new – exploring the cuisine – without leaving the comfort of your couch.
Looking to stay domestic? This subscription box allows you to explore a new city in the US every month! It includes food and other artisan products, all unique to the city, as well as a map and unusual facts about the city. The best part about the products is that all are from local businesses from that month’s city! It wraps up all of our favorite things: food, exploration, and supporting small businesses. Plus, domestic travel may be getting closer to our reach, so maybe your Explore Local box can also lead to some trip inspiration. Can’t beat that!
