Gentleman’s Box Review December 2017

Gentleman’s Box is a subscription box that caters to the modern gentleman. Each month honors a noteworthy gentleman from the past or present. Items in their subscription box for men are hand selected to reflect the carefully crafted image of that month’s honored gentleman. Four to five products, including a subscription to GQ magazine, arrive at your doorstep monthly. They kindly sent us this box to review. 

If you are looking for a Men’s subscription box that is professional, consistent, and provides great value, this is the box for you. Gentleman’s Box is one of the most popular men’s subscription boxes for a reason. These guys know what they are doing, and they provide amazing boxes month after month. Oh, and did I mention that it’s only $25 per month?!

Subscription Details

Gentleman’s Box has 3 different subscription boxes to choose from:

  1. Monthly Subscription – $25 per month
  2. Sock of the Month – $12 per month
  3. Tie of the Month – $15 per month

Here’s a closer look at the December Box…..

December Theme

The December box is honouring “Our Favourite Eccentric Inventor”. This month’s honouree made his debut as an actor at age 5. He went on to star in films such as Weird Science, True Believer and Chaplin.

Allen Young Tie ($29)

This month Allen Young features an exclusive tie showcasing the quality of what their brand stands for. What makes Allen Young standout from the rest? Simply put: They are making products that are built to last!

This month Gentleman’s Box has gone with a grey/brown theme. It’s classic and understated, perfect for Winter. I love the fabric of the tie, and you can’t go wrong with polka dots.

Ozone Design Socks ($18)

Ozone Design Inc. was founded in 2000 with the vision that a pair of artful socks could be the secret weapon of one’s attire, an opportunity mostly untouched by the fashion industry. They’ve been releasing exciting, innovative collections ever since – continuously pushing the boundaries and expanding the functionality of the sock garment. 

Striped socks are a favourite, they will complement any wardrobe, and I like that they went with a light grey. It’s a nice contrast to the dark grey tie. They match but they don’t match……if you know what I mean.

Gentleman of the North Scarf ($35)

GOTN is dedicated to style and comfort, which is why we are featuring an exclusive navy plaid scarf in our December box. This scarf is made from wool and cotton, making it a comfortable fit for the winter season.

I discovered this brand about the same time last year and have been a fan ever since. I’ve spent a little time on their website and as a result have fallen in love with their unisex hoodies. We received a GOTN toque in the November box last year and the BF wears it on a regular basis. I like that they mixed things up this time around and included a scarf, but I think I would have been more excited if it was grey. Other than that it is a great addition to the box.

Ace of Spades Accessories Earbuds ($65)

Ace of Spades is an accessory brand who prides themselves on curating unique products for unique individuals – the Ace of Spades. They believe in looking different, acting different, and thinking different. From earphones to rings to necklaces and more, bring your Ace of Spades. 

This is the kind of accessory I love to see in any of my subscription boxes. Everyone needs at least a couple sets of earbuds; in my opinion. I keep a set with me at all times – purse, gym bag, travel bag, carry-on, in the car, etc…. This particular set has volume control and a built-in microphone, both are features I’ve come to appreciate when it comes to my earbuds.

Soletie Smoking Pipe Tie Bar ($15)

Soletie prides itself on carrying an assortment of eclectic socks, ties, pocket squares, lapel pins, belts, scarves and more. Inspired by our December honouree, Soletie is showcasing a smoking pipe tie bar in this month’s box. 

This tie bar is pretty darn awesome. We’ve never received anything like this before and I’m someone who appreciates originality. It shows that they have taken the time to source a unique product. GB gets bonus points for that.

Gentleman’s Box Review December 2017 – Final Thoughts

One thing is for sure, Gentleman’s Box knows what they are doing. They put together another great box this month. We received great value, quality brands and unique products. I’ve said this before, but I would love to see them curate a women’s box. But, until that happens I’m just going to have to appreciate the amazing men’s box they curate month after month. I love that they create an experience with each box. They always come up with a great theme, include an informative product booklet and get their subscribers involved by having them guess who the noteworthy gentleman is. When you sign up for a Gentleman’s Box subscription you not only receive a great box every month, you are joining a community.

XOXO
