Hey! CrazyDogMama here. I need to tell you about Bespoke Post – a luxury subscription box for men that I just love! I do have to say, though, that as a woman I’ve found PLENTY of things for me, too. They offer a variety of different themed boxes each month to choose from that include high quality items such as culinary/kitchen tools, outdoor gear, clothing, grooming products, home decor and more. The best part is – you get to choose exactly what you want, and can skip any month that doesn’t interest you! There is absolutely zero risk, and each box is a decent value over retail pricing. I’m all about quality over quantity, and this box is perfect for that! Today I’m going to show you the details of both the “Dwell” and “Den” themed boxes – because they go together!
Here’s how it works:
Monthly subscription boxes are $45 (+3.95 shipping), and each month on the 1st, you will receive an email with a box chosen for you based on your profile, including all the details of the contents therein. You have 5 days from that point to change colors, sizes, or choose a different box altogether! You can also add items to your shipment from their shop at no additional shipping cost. Boxes then ship out around mid-month. If none of the boxes offered excite you, you can choose to skip that month – no questions asked. The process will start over the next month with new offerings.
Here are the CURRENT selection of boxes. Keep in mind the variety changes frequently!
In addition to the regular monthly club subscription, they are also now offering what are called “Provisions Subscriptions“, that are monthly boxes for wine, soap or coffee, specifically.

Bespoke Post Subscription Box Review “Dwell”
It’s funny, I subscribe to quite a few male-oriented boxes (as a woman) because they seem to have the best stuff! Bespoke Post is one of those boxes. While the element of ‘surprise’ is fun, I actually enjoy knowing exactly what I’m getting before I fork over my hard-earned dollars these days. I love being able to choose exactly what I want.
The Bespoke Post boxes have simple, but very nice packaging & presentation. Elegance without the fluff!
Their motto: “Goods and Guidance for the Modern Man”.
I’ve recently started redecorating, so when I saw that there were some home decor box options, I jumped right on it. I chose the “Dwell” box because my current collection of blankets & throws are looking a tad shabby. My tastes are more what you call masculine – minimalistic and practical, with neutral-type colors. I loved the look of this wool blanket, so I thought I would give it a try.
Each box comes with a glossy insert card not only detailing the contents of the box, but also includes suggestions, instructions and inspiration.
Just for the record, I ALWAYS need a day to recharge, and the couch is my happy place – so it is of the utmost importance to have the best setup for such things.
Let’s take a closer look…
Alcove Blanket, Navy Wide Trill by Ash & Fir – Retail Value $90
Ash & Fir is an exclusive Bespoke Post brand, and this all-wool blanket is good size at (L)70″ x (W)50. I was a little skeptical at first that because it was wool, it would be itchy/scratchy, but it’s not. It is SUPER soft, comfy and warm – and my new favorite blanket to curl up in with a good book!
The downside is that it is dry clean only, but I knew that going in. Other than that, I can totally see myself buying another one! For a photo of it draped over my couch, see the “Den” review below.
Saratoga Cedar & Lavender Incense Cones by Ash & Fir – Retail Value $2.50? (I couldn’t find this product in the Ash & Fir online shop, so value is based on similar here.)
I had never seen an incense “cone” before! Most incense sticks are too heavily scented for me, but these smell SO GOOD. I love the subtle lavender/cedar fragrance – not too overpowering at all, and not too exotic for my domestic nose. Here are the details:
Set the tone for a relaxing evening at home with these rich incense pyres. They’re made in Seattle from natural essential oils and bamboo charcoal with scents of cedar wood, smoke, and lavender. Though each will only burn for about 15 minutes, the atmosphere they create won’t dissipate so quickly, lingering behind for anywhere from two to four hours after the fact. Light one up and lounge away.
Made in Seattle! I grew up in Seattle.
This package comes with 6 charcoal bamboo cones.
Here it is burning – you just light the top, then blow the flame out and let it smoke through (about 10-15 minutes). The fragrance lasts for about 4 hours! Base not included. Don’t touch it while it’s smoking – it’s hot! Let it cool before disposing.
So there’s the “Dwell” box – what do you think?? I am in LOVE with my new blanket, and it came at the perfect time right in the middle of a chilly Winter. I didn’t know I’d like the incense cones so much, so that was a great bonus! The total retail value of this box is $92.50, which is an excellent deal for $48.95! I am consistently pleased with my Bespoke Post box choices and feel I will be a member for quite awhile.
Bespoke Post Subscription Box Review “Den”
This particular club shipment didn’t come in the “Bespoke Post” branded box.
This isn’t their usual packaging, but I’m guessing that was because of the atypical size of the contents; big-ass pillows!
This is the “Den” box, which comes with two decorative luxury throw pillows. I got these to go with my wool blanket from the “Dwell” box reviewed above. There were 4 different colors/patterns to choose from.
Each box comes with a glossy insert card not only detailing the contents of the box, but also includes suggestions, instructions and inspiration.
OK, so replace “King” with “Queen”, and that’s my house. Queen CrazyDogMama!
Nook Wool Blend Pillows (Set of 2) by Ash & Fir – Retail Value $80 (NOTE: They are currently sold out of this design, but offer other color/pattern variations.)
Ash & Fir is an exclusive Bespoke Post brand, and these custom-woven wool-acrylic twill pillows are sized at (L)17.7″ x (W)17.7″, with fully removable (zippered) covers. They are filled with polyester fiber, and they are REALLY soft and cozy! Both Dale & I love how they are big, flat and square (vs. small & poofy) because they make the perfect ‘nap’ pillows – they are easy on the neck, not propping your head up too much.
Unfortunately they are dry clean only, but I think they are totally worth it. The covers are easy to remove for cleaning, with a resilient coil zipper that’s resistant to breaks and snags.
The pillows match the blanket and look great on my leather couch (just like the photo on the Bespoke Insert!) I spend many an hour reading here, and watching “The Walking Dead”. 😉
One last thing. My dog has claimed these pillows. He LOVES them. He didn’t move an inch when I got the camera out! Usually that’s when he decides to act up. (Shaking his head, jumping around, licking the camera lens…) We have to fight him for them!
So what do you think of the Bespoke Post “Den” box? I’m thrilled, and so is the rest of the family – obviously. The total retail value of this box is $80 – so it’s a sweet deal at $48.95! The quality design will last a long while, and it was a much needed upgrade for us. I’m loving my Bespoke Post subscription so far – there are so many cool things to choose from!
From the Bespoke Post Shop
“Anxiety Ally” Tincture by Wooden Spoon Herbs – Retail Value $18 (NOTE: This item was NOT part of a themed box – this was an add-on item from the Bespoke Post Shop.)
About Wooden Spoon Herbs:
Wooden Spoon Herbs is a small-batch herbal apothecary based in the mountains of northern Georgia. Lauren, its founder, was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and her brand’s collection is a result of the biodiverse region of the southern Appalachia.
There’s nothing worse than being told to calm down when you need to calm down. This tonic offers something a little less stressful, and a tried and true way to reduce your anxiety. Tulsi is a species of basil, and helps in maintaining cortisol levels in the body. Skullcap acts as a nerve tonic. Milky oats -made from the same oat as oatmeal-offer a nourishing calm. Together, they create a calming tonic infinitely more helpful than your friend’s condescending advice.
This is a new-to-me brand with ingredients that I’ve never heard of, so I did my homework. In addition to the description above, this is what I found:
Tulsi (Holy Basil): Used to treat stress, anxiety, and inflammation.
Skullcap: A mild relaxant used as a therapy for anxiety, nervous tension, and depression.
Oatstraw: Rich in vitamin A and B complex, as well as calcium and other useful vitamins & minerals that help reduce stress, anxiety and fatigue.
Ashwagandha: A whole body ‘rejuvenative’ herb that has many, many benefits! If you are anxious, it will calm you; if you are constantly fatigued, it will boost your energy and stamina. It has a positive effect on mood, sleep, blood sugar, and has also been shown to regenerate nerve cells and dendrite growth throughout the brain and body!
I am so impressed with the herbs in this tincture!
It has a kick! I would describe the flavor as uniquely exotic & spicy, and while I wouldn’t say I love the way it tastes, it’s not bad. What I do like is the effect! I have anxiety issues, and after taking this daily for a week, I’m noticing a nice, subtle calming effect. In short, it works! I’m a huge proponent of herbs and natural remedies, so that’s what intrigued me about this product – it has a ton of benefits!
I paid the retail price for this item, but I still think of it as a deal because when you add shop items to your monthly club shipment, there is no additional shipping; which there would be if you bought it directly from the retailer. I loved discovering this brand, and will definitely be trying some of their other products!
I hope you enjoyed the reviews, and look forward to more from Bespoke Post.
