Shipping is $15 to the rest of Canada and Canada is subject to sales tax based on province. 

I chose the refresh box for K, because I thought he would like the dopp kit and the useful travel items in it. I was right! The box doesn't put a value on the items so these are obtained from the internet.

Item #1: Blue Claw Co. Dopp Kit Value: $72

I was really surprised to see almost identical dopp kits on their website for $72! That alone is a very high ticket item. K liked the color (which you could choose) and the thought the bag was really nice. Most of the items further I'm not going to really comment on because they are pretty basic guy needs and were all well liked.

Item #2: Travel Size Gold Bond Powder Value: $2

Item #3: Drinkwel Multivitamin Sample Value: $5

Item #4: Dr. Squatch Gold Moss Scrub Full Size Value: $8

Item #5: Mitch Heavy Hitter Cleansing Shampoo Full Size: Value: $10.85

Item #6: Cremo Face Wash Full Size Value: $6.99

Item #7: Mitch Construction Paste for Hair Styling Value: $8.99

Item #8: Gold Bond Ultimate Men's Essentials Everyday Lotion Travel Size Value: $2

Item #9: Marvis Travel Size Toothpaste Value: $6

I really liked this box! The entire value was $121.83 for $45 (plus the discount I got). Thats pretty nice. Also it was really useful items which K really liked. I would seriously consider getting another box from them. I opted out this month. I wish I had known about this a few months back when they had a really awesome cigar themed box! K would have really liked that. 5/5

Gentleman's Box January 2015

Gentleman's Box is a monthly subscription service that is $25/month. Free Shipping in the US. Each month they feature a famous man or type of man as the theme of the box and send some deluxe samples, mostly full size items and a copy of GQ. You can candel anytime. Boxes ship around the 25th of the month and cancellations should be made before billing on the 10th. They shipped the first one very very fast. I cannot find a way to buy the items featured on their website but it was mostly full size items so I most may be something you would buy where they are sold. K was really impressed with this box!!! I was too! It was definitely better than Birchbox which is only $5 less a month! Usually it includes 5-6 items related to lifestyle, accessories, and grooming

Item #1: Copy of GQ Magazine wrapped in a rubber Gentleman's Box Bracelet

Value: $6

Item #2 Full Size Wooden Badger Shaving Cream Brush Value: $15

Really neat item that will definitely get use!

Item #3: Full Size Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 Value:$7.50

K has used this before and was excited to get a new one in this box since he really likes this product

Item #4 Three Whiskey Stones from Boozestones.com value: $10

K Loves these already and has some so getting some more was really nice. This was really awesome to see in the box

Item #5 Full size Harrison Blake Apparel Berry Moss Red Flower Lapel Pin value: $10

Not really K's style and I can see where not all guys would be really into this item, but I do actually have a guy friend who will use it and plan to give it to them

Item #6: full Size pair of Richer Poorer Walk On Red and Black Striped Socks Value: $12

These are really nice sock and while I K will probably only wear them on off days, they are a great item!!!

Item #7: La Fresh Travel Lite  Shoe Shine Wipes (2 samples) value = $4

K really liked these two, especially for keeping in his backpack for when he is at the hospital

Overall, I was really impressed with the Gentleman's box and may resubscribe K to it after we try a couple more for review purposes 5/5. The price was $25.00 The value of the box: $64.50...not bad...
