This Christmas, my parents got me a gift card for OwlCrate: the monthly YA subscription box. I used it on getting the January box. Each month the box is compiled around a theme, with all the knick-knacks being related to that theme. The theme in January was fantasy, which made me even more excited to get the box.
When I ordered the box, the website said I'd get it in mid-February so I was quite surprised to find it waiting for me at the post office when I went to pick up some packages earlier this week.
Opening the box was a surreal experience. I'd heard so many good reviews about the company, I couldn't believe it was finally happening to me.
Altogether the contents of the box were exciting. The book that came with it was Worlds of Ink and Shadow by Lena Coakley – a fantasy novel about the Brontë sisters. Its premise definitely caters to the IB-student in me. Alongside the book came a letter from the author, as well as other merch related to the novel.
Another item in the box that I want to talk about is this amazing lip balm from the etsy store GeekFireLabs. It's both a great lip balm, and it smells fantastic! Furthermore, it's Harry Potter inspired so on all levels it's become a favorite for me.
All in all, the OwlCrate box was a great experience and I hope to be able to continue with it in the future.
