Handmade Palestine Subscription Box

What's in the box: Gift sets and bundles combine handmade Palestinian items like olive oil, Nabulsi soap, tatreez pieces and keffiyehs, and the site does not describe a fixed recurring box.

Handmade Palestine is a fair trade shop selling goods made by Palestinian artisans, with a strong focus on women makers. Shoppers who come looking for a recurring Middle Eastern food box should know that the site doesn't clearly offer one. It is set up as a gift store, with gift sets and bundles you buy one at a time. Food plays a small part. Olive oil, sold in a tin, and Nabulsi olive oil soap are featured, but most of the catalog is keffiyehs, tatreez embroidery, jewelry, and home and kitchen items. The company says it supports artisans with training, grants, designs and raw materials. It also helps fund Mashjar Juthour, a nonprofit in Palestine that protects native trees, and it offers an 'adopt an olive tree' option. US orders ship from inside the country, and a separate EU storefront serves European buyers. The blog is active and covers textile traditions such as Majdalawi fabric and Gaza gauze, along with new product launches. The mission is clear and the products have real cultural depth. If you want a monthly delivery of Palestinian pantry staples, though, you will need to look elsewhere or put together your own orders from the bundles section.
