Hello! Another month, another book box!

This months' goodies are just wonderful! My subscription boxes are from Blog Spot Box and Book Box Club. November's boxes have been delightful, and I am so excited to share everything with you. Such a wide range of things, everything is so carefully put together. This will be the second month of my subscriptions, and it seems each month just gets better and better. My favourite times of the month is when the boxes are delivered. 


I will start with Book Spot Box, their November theme is Wizard and Witches. You can imagine how hyped I was for this one. The box included items from/relating to Harry Potter, Wizard of Oz, Hocus Pocus and other goodies. The book in this box is The Witch of Salt&Storm by Kendall Kulper. 

Below is a collective picture of the items from the box. I will go into items in more detail and then at the end share my favourite item from each box.







This was a well thought out box, and I can't wait to see what Kate has planned for us in the future.
If you did not see the last blog post about my subscriptions then I'll give you details on how much the box is and the price of delivery.
This box is £20.00 and delivery is under £4.

This is one of the lowest priced Book Box I have come across, but it is worth much more than we pay. Stunning items and well worth the money. Kate really puts in thought to the boxes, and I love her ideas and creativity. 






I have an obsession with candles lately, and to see a Harry Potter themed one in my box I was ecstatic. The candle is called Grainger and smells of Peach Strawberry Vanilla Nutmeg- quite the sweet combination. It smells lovely, but I have not used it yet. I feel like I'll use it when I am having a particular bookish night. 

You also get a tub of whipped cream wash, it is called Love Spell and the description of this item is A magical, fluffy whipped soap. I haven't used this yet, either. I feel like this is an item I would use when I have a bit of a girlie pamper night. 

I feel like these two items together would create a night of relaxation. A night I'll definitely have to plan once I've got past my deadlines. 

I love this little Tolkein bookmark, a bookworm can never have too many bookmarks. I love the design used as well as the quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is give us"  - J.RR Tolkien.
Behind this picture you will notice the pencil, it's a cute wandlike pencil. It is currently sat in my pen pot. 


The next item is cute as well as handy. It's a Wizard of Oz mirror, with a cute design on the back. It is a useful item to carry in your bag but also a small way of showing off your love for WOZ. 

I loved this box so much, I am eager for the next one already! December's box is a Christmas box called Christmas Sparkle. I love Christmas, I feel like this box is going to be epic. Kate has also mentioned on her Instagram, that she will not be doing a box every month once the new year hits. I think she mentioned doing one every other month, so if you're wanting to get a box the next one is in February, which isn't out for sale yet. 


My last, but not least, subscription box is Book Box Club! November's theme is Smugglers & Thieves! Fandoms of Pirates and the Carribean, Peter Pan, Keeper of the Suns, Book Thief and Only The Ocean. The book that came with this months box is Only The Ocean by Natasha Carthew. I loved this box, one of my childhood dreams was to be a pirate. This box brought my inner child to life.
 The cover is so pretty, I like that a few of the items are linked directly with the book. It's cute and create promo for the book.
This box was fun and filled with small cute things. I will start with the two bigger items. I haven't found a place for them yet, but I shall soon!

 A Kaz and Inef tea towel, the print is stunning! Too good to use though, I think I will use it as a decorative piece. It is so creative and made by Keeper of the Suns. I think you can get the same print in poster form over on their website.
As well as an Only The Ocean flag. I love the print of this, it is somewhat simple but I love the waves below. This piece of fan art is made by Sparrow and Wolf, it was designed exclusively for Book Box Club.



Here is the Peter Pan pin and Book Thief bracelet. These little items are just stunning, I can't wait to put the pin on my jacket. The pin is made by Book Box Club themselves. It is just a cute homage to our childhoods. The Book Thief bracelet is by Mermaid Marys.
I love a book promo bookmark! The bookmark is a promotion for the book The Haunting of Violet Gray.



The subscription for this box is £28.99 including delivery, and it is a monthly box! Decemeber's box is Rule the Stars! Expect a blog post with that box next month! Last but not least, I will be showing you my favourite item from each box.

If you know me, you will know I absolutely adore Hocus Pocus. I watched it several times during the month of October. It's a film I have adored from a young age. So, when I saw this notebook within my Book Spot Box I was overjoyed. 

I was never a huge fan of Jack Sparrow but this magnetic bookmark I cannot resist. I have never seen anything as cute!



Thank you for reading this months Subcriptions, this was a pleasure! Another sub box will be posted next month and expect a tourist post within the next week or so!






Book Box Subscriptions (November)

Thursday, 29 November 2018

Aloha!

If you don’t follow me on Instagram (@writingmyheart) you will not know about my new found obsession! For months I’ve been gazing at book box subscriptions. If you don’t know what that is, it is essentially a subscription to a company(s) and every month they send you out a book as well bookish goodies! For a long time I had only seen them in the US so at the end of September, I went on a hunt for some UK based subscriptions. I came across a few and have favored two BookSpotBox and BookBoxClub! Both amazing companies and the boxes they’ve sent so far have been insane!!

BookSpotBox is the first box I subscribed to, the second wasn’t too far behind but this one delivered to me first. I pay £20 for a book, this one isn’t a subscription service. You basically go onto their website (BookSpotBox.co.uk) and pick the box you want to buy. Delivery is under £4, this is one of the cheapest boxes I’ve found. But don’t let that fool you, the quality of the box is still high end!  The first box I’ve received from Kate (the owner of BSB) is called the Blood&Bodies! Halloween theme as you can guess since we are in the October month. I didn’t know what to expect from my first box (a book obviously) so I was more than happy when the box got delivered. Okay so, I’m going to show you an unboxing of the box. What I got inside and my favourite items etc. 



I love the running theme of the book, it goes with a cup and coaster. The theme of blood with needle pen! I also love how the box comes with a ‘flesh weaver’ scented candle. I’m obsessed with candles lately! 
My favourite item from this box has to be the IT magnetic bookmarks. They’re so cute and creative, I’m really looking forward to using them when I start reading the book! With the spooky month, I’m looking forward to having the candlelight, book in hand and wrapped up in a blanket. 
I’ve seen mixed reviews about the book, but due to Uni work, I haven’t had the chance to read it yet. But I will soon, and when I do expect a review!! I have ordered their November box too ‘Wizard & Witches’ I am so excited about this box, and I can’t wait to receive the box and show you guys next month! 





The second book subscription is BookBoxClub! I actually tried to enter a rep competition for this company but wasn’t successful. Still, no salty feelings because their box was insane!! The cost of this box, monthly subscription, is £28.99! I think the price is reasonable for what you get, at first I was a bit hesitant but when the box arrived I fell in love with everything!  The theme of this months box is called ‘Fantasy Lands’ it featured a wide range of items, from Alice in Wonderland to Narnia and even to As Travars. 



Very cute box, the wrapping was really good too! Before I show you everything, I will show the item I loved the most! This item is just so perfect and I didn’t expect it. 

 The Coraline cookie! I should really eat this but I haven’t got the heart to destroy it!  The design is so pretty, I think the supplier of the cookie is  GardenersCookies (www.gardenerscookies.co.uk) I haven’t had the cookie yet so I can’t tell you how it tastes but 10/10 for design!!
So here is the rest of the box, everything is so creative and well made. It was definitely a good box for my first book box from BookBoxClub.


You get soap (LOTR theme) and the tea leaves. The tea leaves are my second favourite item, I’ve had a few cups already. It tastes like liquid After Eights. So good! Again, haven’t had the chance to read the book but definitely will read soon before the next box is sent out. The bag is pretty, before the box I didn’t really know  As Travars and I am still unsure but I appreciate the design! I actually took the tote bag to Uni last week, I was feeling super bookish! The Narnia beanie is pretty cool too, I haven’t worn it just because I don’t think I suit beanies but I am trying to get a good enough picture with it on!  
In this box (like the other box) I’ve got given cards with things on, book related and quotes type of things. I am wanting to put this up on my room I am just looking for the right place! November’s box is the theme of Smugglers and Thieves. I love pirates so I’m buzzing for this one!! 
I’m hoping to continue with buying subscription boxes and keep posting about them on here. So you guys can see, and perhaps subscribe? and to appreciate the companies really. The creativity and thought gone into the boxes are appreciated and I adore everything!
So, if you’re just as bookish as I am, I would recommend starting or trying out a book subscription box! If you already do, tell me about it below! Show me your favourite goodies! 
Thank you for reading, and the next post is a book review next week!
