The box arrived by USPS.  The box is interesting, because it looks like it is spray painted.  I prefer a printed box, but it is interesting.

Drunk on Ink Ink Coasters - Alcohol Ink Coasters

Drunk on Ink Ink Coasters – Alcohol Ink Coasters

My interests were photography, technology and family.  My gift was from Drunk on Ink and was a set of four Alcohol Ink Coasters.  They are made by Ashley Ulbricht.  The coasters sell in a pack of 2 on Etsy for $9.00.  The total cost for 4 coasters plus shipping, would be $26.90.  This is a bit lower than the $30.00 price, but I do love the coasters.  If I saw them in an an artisan fair, I would buy them.

Final Thought:  I love the idea of this box.  I like that you can give your preferences and have a special present sent to you.  I also like that Blind Surprise uses independent artisans and inventors to get the products for their boxes.  I was a bit disappointed that the value was a lower than $30.00 but I was very happy with coasters.  I would have liked to receive more background information about the company.  If you are interested in Blind Surprise, click HERE.
