What our customers are saying
My husband and I are avid travelers going crazy being stuck home during COVID. Our TROVE box helped us feel like we were able to "get away" for the night! We had so much fun making the heart-shaped truffle potato ravioli with Chef Patrizia and enjoyed the chocolates, tea, and face masks. We would definitely be interested in checking out future boxes!
Exactly what I was looking for to break up the boredom of staying home during Covid. I did the ravioli cooking class with my mom and sister and it was a blast! We made yummy spitz cocktails and I absolutely love my new cocktail glasses!
Always fun when the Trove box arrives. I have loved every box that I have received and plan on buying everyone that I can. Next time I'm in Seattle.....we're going out for lunch..OR DINNER! xoxoxo
I soooo enjoyed the seasonal Valentine's Box with Trove. My daughter and I enjoyed making ravioli together and serving it to our family! The box is always attractive when you open it, has exciting cultural and culinary surprises within! I'm excited to do the Thailand box next. Erika and Emilie, you ROCK!!!
These boxes are the best quality, the most fun and really delicious! Totally buying again!
I LOVED the Valentine’s Day box. My fiancé spent the entire time we were cooking laughing. The plus was how yummy the food was. The glasses and drink book were wonderful and I have been telling all my family and friends about this box. Love it! Keeping my eyes out for fun future boxes.
I think you did a great job introducing your product. Not sure where all you posted, but I found it by way mutual acquaintance.
When your box arrives, it is a beautiful site for the eyes. As my sister always says, "You eat with your eyes first!!!" My appetite goes wild when I open the boxes. They are put together PERFECTLY. I want to rip out all the paper shreds and read all the info within and just study each item!!
The virtual classes are wonderful. The instructor/mentors can actually bring their country, cultures, and fabulous food/recipes to life and make it easy to replicate ... and I love to remake the foods as they get better each time I try them!!
The cultural events are lessons that we don't all get to partake in - even when we travel. Sometimes, most of the time, you are limited to time and don't have time to attend a tea ceremony, or paint a picture under the mentorship of an expert. I would have loved taking the time for an art class in Florence. Didn't have time.
Also.... just an FYI... you are not only giving more memories to those who have travelled, but also to those who have NOT travelled... perhaps pointing to a new reason for saving their money.... to see the wonderful world we occupy.
Someday..when I get to Seattle again, I'd love to meet you in person. I am so proud of you for starting this business early in life. I didn't start my business until I was 57 years old. I'm 68 now and oh! If I only had some years to do over. I am happy to have travelled in my life. Scandinavia, Africa. Europe.. almost made it to the Galapapos Islands, but ended up in Kenya. Never know how long one is able to travel... I'm still good and plan to take off when I can... but there comes a time when the body doesn't want to go thru the TSA lines, etc. Enhancing my memories when my TROVE box comes in...well.. I love it. I may not make it to some countries in my lifetime...but I've been to many and plan on more!
I was told that if I make a profit within 10 years, I'm doing well. I made a profit in year 2. You can do it too! Education, reliving memories of previous trips, or learining about a country that you previously had little interest in can work magic for the human spirit.
A+
I am wishing you many years of work and many more years of travel!!

I received the Trove Kyoto, Japan box for my Birthday and was extremely excited since I've wanted to visit for a while. The cooking class was professional and fun, it was great to have moderators to help when there were questions. I've taken online cooking classes through a community college and this surpassed those classes by miles! The Matcha tea ceremony was amazing, relaxing, and informative. I felt like I got a history lesson while meditating. Would buy again!
My husband and I were quarantined in Santa Barbara this year and and were sad that we could not get home to Seattle for the holidays with the grandkids. This was a nice way to bring Seattle to us!
This was the best Christmas gift ever! A box of curated foodie items from Seattle, bringing back memories to Pike Place Market in years gone by...with new small biz items & delicacies. I loved the Zoom classes & it felt so personally packed & facilitated.
My daughter received the Italy box as a gift and then we got the Seattle box. The items were of extremely high quality and so much fun! What a great way to celebrate with both food and visiting somewhere in COVID! We are looking forward to more boxes. The personal notes were really special!
The Kyoto “trip” was wonderful. Loved soaking up the culture (on line through videos and in the cooking classes) and learning to use miso, make matcha (very much enjoyed the tea ceremony) and making noodles with my feet! Now that I know where to go and what I want to see, I hope to travel to Japan myself someday. Very lovely and enriching experience.
This was an awesome class! I would for sure do this again and tell my friends about it too!!!
