My Thoughts

There are tons of subscription boxes out there, but Mantry was made just for men.  They scour the artisan food market to find some of the tastiest items, sure to appeal to the male pallet, and ship them right to your door. This month, my husband got to try out one of their crates and it was a fun surprise. He enjoyed the extensive variety of items that were included and even the unique packaging. They actually use a crate, which men can store in their man cave long after the food is gone.
 Each month the crates has a special theme. This month was "Coffee and a Smoke", so everything in the package somehow tied to coffee or smoked foods. The crate held an impressive amount of meats, cookies, condiments, and other items that my husband loved. Inside the crate is a flyer with information about each product, including the state of origin. Check out all the goodies we got to try.
Hot Georgia Soul - They might be a gas station, but this Georgia establishment also boasts the best BBQ in the state. You can bring a little of that flavor home with their delicious  sauce.

La Quercia Smoky Borsellino - These sticks of cured ham lasted all of five minutes after it arrived and was definitely my husband's favorite item from this batch. They use only the finest raw ingredients guaranteeing a delicious smoky treat every time.

Lark Fine Foods Espresso Chip Shortbread - I'll admit it. I stole a few of these before my hubby ate them all. Both men and women will love this delicious shortbread cookies  made with whole grains and flavored with espresso chips.

Granola Jones Mocha Hazelnut - Another delight for coffee lovers. Granola never tasted so good. This blend includes rich cocoa, roasted hazelnuts, and a little coffee. Add a little milk for a cold cereal or toss some in yogurt for a healthy breakfast that will really get your morning off on the right foot.

Dave's Coffee Syrup - Who says you can't put coffee in everything?  With this tasty syrup, you can add a little java to anything you wish. Add it to a glass of milk, pour it over your favorite ice-cream or come up with other new and interesting ways to get your coffee fix.

These are only a few examples of the monthly goodies you'll receive if you subscribe to Mantry. Every month they send out a new crate with a new theme. If you're looking for a unique holiday gift for a special man in your life, Mantry would be a great choice, whether you choose to send just one crate or splurge on a subscription.  If you'd like to learn more about this fun subscription box, you can visit their website.
