Fairyloot Unboxing: Moon & Stars (January 2020)

Hello Fellow Bookworms!

Today I have an unboxing for Fairyloot’s January 2020 box. I knew what the book was going to be and I couldn’t pass this one up. There were a lot of great items included.

• Moon Phases Necklace (@noverantale)
• Starry Fairy Lights
• Moon Trinket Tray
• Illuminae Star Notebook
• Dreamy Moon Pillow Case (@beckythornsdesign)
• Dragon Keychain (dustandpages)
• Moon and Stars Paper Clips
• Tarot Cards (@gabriella.bujdoso)
• Woven in Moonlight by Isabel Ibañez

My favorite item was the book! I love the change in color for the cover and the reverse dustjacket is beautiful!

My least favorite would have to be the lights or the trinket dish. They are both good items but I just never use lights like that and I already have too many trinket dishes, ha.

Illumicrate Unboxing: Secrets and Schemes

Hello Fellow Bookworms!

Today I have an unboxing for Illumicrate’s December box! It was packed with lots of goodies and a book that I really enjoyed.

I don’t usually buy from them because they are UK based but every once and awhile I have to! If you are in Europe then I highly suggest this book box.

• Ploy & Play Mug (Rosiethorns88)
• Star Wars Pin Set (Fable & Black)
• Four Paths Candle (Amelia Kitchen Candles)
• Caraval Patch (Fable & Black)
• 2020 Calendar (Merwild and Chatty Nora)
• Collectible Coin (Monolime)
• Blood Heir by Amelie Wen Zhao

My favorite item would have to be the book! The stenciled edges are just just beautiful!

My least favorite item would be the candle. I just don’t like the scent and it gives me a headache.

Hello Fellow Bookworms!

My favorite item would be the book sleeve or ear muffs! Both have great designs and have a practical use.

My least favorite item would be the book, ha. I just didn’t like it. The cover is nice at least!

Owlcrate Unboxing: Through The Enchanted Forest

Hello Fellow Bookworms!

Today I have an unboxing for Owlcrate’s November box: Through The Enchanted Forest. This is probably one of my favorite boxes they have ever done because the colors are just beautiful! Next month will have a booksleeve in it so I am also excited for that!

• Throw Blanket Inspired by The Cruel Prince (@bookmarkd.tattoos)
• Metal Tassel Bookmark Inspired by Uprooted (@herpaperworld)
• Wooden Ornament Inspired by The Raven Boys (@juniperandivydesigns)
• Reading Planner by Blue Star Press
• Planner Stickers by (@lovepipsticks)
• Special Edition of Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw
• Enamel pin (@fourseasonsfox)

My favorite item would have to be the blanket. I may not like the fandom for it but the colors and design are beautiful! At least it doesn’t really scream The Cruel Prince.

My least favorite item would have to be the planner stickers. I am sure they will somehow end up in my daughter’s hand and honestly, I’m just not much of a decorater when it comes to my planners.

Shelflove Crate Unboxing: White City

Hello Lovely Readers!

This box comes from Shelflove Crate it is their special edition box inspired by the series Stalking Jack the Ripper. My box finally arrived after being late and it not getting delivered on time from USPS. So many issues with this box but honestly, the contents were worth the wait! I loved everything that was included and only ended up selling one item.

Shelflove will be reworking their business plan starting next year so hopefully that will help with their boxes being late. I have tried a couple of their monthly boxes but I much prefer their special edition ones.

• Exposition Art
• Faux Leather Carry Case (@kitstercronk)
• Notebook (@noverantale)
• Chess Pieces (@silketara)
• Dustjackets (@abbymalagaart)
• Board Game (@taratjah)
• Necklace (@ironandinkdesigns)
• Tea Towel (@blanca.design)
• Candle (@_iceydesigns)
• Paper Dolls (@ermillerdesigns)
• Fan
• Tea set
• Passport (@morgana0anagrom)

My favorite item was either the tea set, board game, or the dustjackets. I can’t decide! Everything was awesome.

My least favorite item would have to be the chess pieces. They have added them to each box since January but I haven’t collected them and don’t want to so I sell them and make some money back.

Dreamy & Co Unboxing: Catalyst And Chaos

Hello Readers!

I am here with another unboxing. The October 2019 theme was called “Catalyst and Chaos”. It was themed around The Illuminae Files. Dreamy & Co is the same owner that runs Flick the Wick. This box is just smaller and only costs around $25 shipped. I have never been disappointed because the artwork is always amazing.

• Doubled-Sided Wooden Bookmark
• “She is Catalyst. She is Chaos” Socks
• Enamel Pin
• Double-Sided Sturdy Bookmark
• Double-Sided Sturdy Print (@arz28)
• Acrylic Keychain
• Heimdall Candle (@flickthewick)
• Wooden Art

My favorite item was the art print of the characters. I have collected every piece I can of them because they are some of my favorite characters! Definitely one of my top book series.

My least favorite item was the socks. The design is great but I just don’t like getting socks in boxes. Sometimes they just end up fitting weird.

Flick the Wick Unboxing: Once Upon A Faerie Dream

Hello Lovely Readers!

Today I have a great unboxing for you as this might be my favorite box Flick the Wick has done. This was the October 2019 box called “Once Upon A Faerie Dream”. They included books that had fae. One of those fandoms being A Court of Thorns and Roses. The items in it were awesome and even though it was a week late, I think it was worth it. (They also are not in a habit of shipping late and this has been the one case for me)

• Candles: The Iron Realm, Kiaran Mackay, Winter Solstice in Prythian, Autumnlands
• Acotar Enamel Pin (@dreamyandco)
• Iron Fey Throw Blanket (@stellabookishart)
• Throne of Glass Enamel Mug (@eviebookish)
• Acotar Book Pouch (@bxromance and @stellabookishart)
• 2x Double-Sided Sturdy Print (@morgana0anagrom and @dreamyandco)

My favorite item was the blanket. It is very soft! I also really like the design of it. Plus, since it is getting colder around here it’s perfect.

My least favorite item was probably the pouch. I do the the artwork on it but it’s just a cinch pouch with no padding so I wouldn’t think it would be a great book pouch.

Flick the Wick Unboxing: Investigating The White City

Hello Lovely Readers!

Today I am sharing an unboxing for Flick the Wick’s September box: Investigating The White City. For the theme, it was all based around the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. Although I didn’t like the last book, I still liked the series as a whole. This is a candle box company that I have really enjoyed. I have bought a few of their boxes now and am excited for the October one to ship since it will have a blanket!

Included In This Box:

 

• Mr. Cresswell Candle (4 oz. glass jar)
• Miss Wadsworth Candle (2 oz. glass jar)
• The Streets of London and Bran Castle Candles (2 oz. tin)
• Enamel Pin (@dreamyandco)
• Drawstring Backpack (@eviebookish)
• Tumbler (@dreamyandco)
• Wooden Bookmark (@dreamyandco)
• RMS Etruria Bath Bomb (Ritzybath)
• Notepad (@dreamyandco)
• Double-Sided Sturdy Print (@taratjah and @dreamyandco)

My favorite item had to be the art print of Audrey and Thomas. It has been my favorite depiction of them. My least favorite would have  to be the bath bomb. I just don’t take baths so it isn’t practical for me.

Beacon Book Box Unboxing: Five Dark Fates

Hello Bookworms!

I am coming at you with another unboxing that should have been posted awhile ago, heh. Oopsie!

This special edition box comes from Beacon Book Box. I posted another unboxing from there for Stalking jack the Ripper which can be found here. One good thing about this company is that they are great for when it comes to shipping on time. I have had one issue with them which was discussed in the other unboxing. I did eventually get replacements but they sent the first ones to my sister and not the address I had given them. Not sure how that happened. In total it took about 4-5 emails with them from beginning of September to the last part of October. That’s a good bit of time especially when they said they would get to it by a certain date.

I am glad that they finally replaced them. Hopefully for others it won’t take as long. I will most likely purchase from them again because I do enjoy their special edition boxes and find them to be worth the money. I do not care for their monthly boxes and that is just my preference.

Anyways, let’s get into the unboxing!

Included In This Box:

• “Three Sisters” Blanket (@nisha_letters)
• Katharine Inspired Throw Pillow Cover (@blanca.designs)
• “Three Queens” Tapestry (@rachel.hanke27)
• Fennbirn Crest Enamel Pin (@sjwonderlandz)
• Familiar Booksleeve (@sjwonderlandz)
• Three Queens Candle (novellyyours)
• Priestess Luca’s Calming Chamomile Tea (@thesimplybookishco)
• Group Character Cards (@dianadworak)
• Signed/Numbered Print- Queen Katharine’s Royal Portrait (@alrooneyart)
• Luke Gillespie Soap Bar (@littlebearries)
• Bonus Content from Kendare Blake
• Signed Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake

Favorite:

I love the tapestry so much! The artwork is beautiful and I already have it hanging in my office! I also use the blanket everyday.

Least Favorite:

I wasn’t really a fan of the pin. I’m not one that collects them. I also only keep the ones I really like. This one just missed the mark for me.

Fabled Merch Unboxing: Stalking Jack the Ripper

Hello Readers!

Here is another unboxing for you! This one is Fabled Merch which was Wick & Fable but they changed their sub box name. Their September box was themed around the series Stalking Jack the Ripper.

This was my first purchase from this company. I will say that it was an okay box but I did end up selling a few items from it since I didn’t care for them. I definitely prefer Flick the Wick over this company.

They also have a tendency to ship a bit later than when they say so it’s something to be aware of.

Included In This Box:

• Audrey Rose Inspired Candle (4 oz.)
• Thomas Inspired Candle (4 oz.)
• Bran Castle Inspired Candle (2 oz.)
• Murder Hotel Inspired candle (2 oz.)
• Ceramic Campfire Mug (@jezhawk)
• Book Pouch (@stellabookishart and @kirsty.carter.art)
• Glow-In-The-Dark Enamel Pin (@jezhawk)
• Character Cards (@artbyisambeleza)
• Sturdy Print (@darkandbeautifulart)
• Wooden Bookmark (@blanca.design)

Favorite:

My Favorite Item was definitely the campire mug. It is so pretty! I probably won’t use it to drink out of because it’s a nice decoration for my shelf, haha.

Least Favorite:

My least favorite item was either the book pouch or the art print/character cards. The art just wasn’t my favorite interpretation of the characters. The book pouch is a nice idea but it isn’t going to keep my books safe.
