Papergang - August 2017

Papergang is a monthly stationery subscription box from the UK.  It ships internationally as well.  Items you can expect to receive are: greeting cards, notebooks, desk accessories and art prints.  Each month will be designed by a different artist and theme, so no two will ever be alike.  The cost is £10.95 per month with discounts on longer term plans. 

This month’s box was designed by Gemma Correll and has a very juvenile feel to it.  I’ve attached pics of the items in the box, but will not do a breakdown here because I didn’t care for any of it.  I’ll give it all to my friend’s 6 year old daughter.

I canceled my subscription after receiving this box, but as I did the 3 month prepay, I still have one more box coming to review.  I’ll post that as soon as I receive it.  I received the first box before starting this blog but I wasn’t impressed with it either. 

Planners Anonymous Kit - August 2017

Planners Anonymous is a fairly new subscription box that comes from Australia.  They ship internationally with free shipping to the US and within Australia, which is fantastic!  The cost is $44.95 AUD and is WELL worth it in my opinion.  The products are exclusively designed and you get a ton of stuff.  An example of what to expect is washi tape (usually more than one roll), die cuts, stickers, ink pad, pen, decorative papers, journaling cards, clear stamp set, etc.  This month's theme is Treat Yo Self.

This is by far my favorite subscription kit.  I am a card maker and can make a ridiculous amount of cards with this kit.  Each month is a different theme and so far, I've loved them all.  If you love paper crafts and/or planning, you need this kit.  I cannot recommend it enough.  To get your own, just click here.

Paper Panduh Box - August 2017

Paper Panduh is a monthly planner subscription box.  Their website states that it's the perfect box for the planner addict or stationery enthusiast.  Each month you can expect to receive washi tape, planner stickers, pens, sticky notes, paper, etc.  They also include a special discount code every month to use in the Paper Panduh online shop.

Each box comes wrapped in a pretty gold foil type mailing envelope.  The receptionist at my office always comments on how pretty it is when she brings my mail.  Additionally, the box inside the pretty wrapper is also personalized with your name or first initial.  Open the box, and everything is packaged with great care and attention to detail.  I really appreciate that touch.  Anyone can throw some stuff in a box and call it a day.  Emma makes sure that opening your Panduh box is an experience. 

The theme for this month's box is Adventure Awaits.  It's very outdoorsy/nature themed. 

First up, is this pretty floral pen.  It has a very fine tip and although I think it's supposed to be black ink, it really looks more charcoal grey to me, which is fine.  It writes smoothly and evenly.  I like it. 

Next is the notepad.  There were 3 different designs of notepads included this month and I got the peachy floral one.  One can never have too many notepads.

These blank note cards are nice.  I will probably use these as card bases and add my own touches.

The enamel pin is cute, but I honestly have no idea what I would use it for.  This is a miss for me.

Lastly are the stickers.  This is a nice quantity of decorative and functional stickers for planning or whatever you choose.  They fit the theme nicely.  To get your own Panduh Box Subscription just click here.
