[Unboxing] Spearcraft Book Box November 2020: YA Ships

, 0

Hello people! Today I bring you an unboxing that was left abandoned since last year?. It is in fact my first book box and corresponds to the November 2020 edition of SpearCraft Book Box. The theme was YA Ships, so I couldn’t resist.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3549,3550″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

Fortunately, SpearCraft has direct shipping to Chile, so it was much easier and cheaper. This book box is in fact one of the cheapest I know, however, its objects are also of good quality.

Its current value is USD $29.99 and shipping to Chile is USD $17.99. So the total to Chile is USD $47.98. You also have the option of prepaid subscription for 3 months, saving USD $5.

As always, the first thing we find in the box is the “spoilers” card which we obviously ignore until we have seen everything ?.

We have a holiday ornament featuring Cinder and Kai from The Lunar Chronicles designed by @poorly_drawn_tawagoto.

Then we have a hard, ultra-bright, weather-resistant magnet featuring Clary and Jace from The Mortal Instruments. I love them, I would have liked if they had continued with the movies ?.

A pocket mirror of Lara Jean and Peter Kavinsky (I love them ?) designed by @denkifish.

A Polaroid of Magnus And Alec from The Mortal Instruments (which couldn’t be cuter) designed by @doodlesandchibis.

A laminated bookmark of Kaz and Inej from Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom, also designed by @doodlesandchibis. The only bad thing is that the back is white ?.

Finally, and my favorite, a full-size scarf of America and Maxon from The Selection, designed by @catarinabookdesigns. I’ve wanted to have some book-inspired clothing for a long time, and this scarf is really pretty. Special thanks to my model ?.

November’s book was Beautiful Wild by Anna Godbersen. The book is beautiful, I haven’t been able to read it yet, but eventually I will ?. It comes with a signed bookplate and also a letter from the author with the same book cover.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3559,3560,3562,3561,3563″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

There were also packets of Apple Cider and Chai Latte Tea, but I drank them before taking their picture ?. At least they appear in the general photo (at the end).

In short, I loved this box. As I told you, it was the first time I bought a book box and I quite liked what I received. Anyway, it’s not my first option for a monthly subscription, but this is only a matter of personal taste, since these boxes are very varied and, as I already mentioned, its quality is good. I’m still constantly looking at their publications, as they have brought out wonderful objects that I really would like to have ?.

As an advice, if you want to buy a book box, look at the photos of the previous versions. This shows the style of the box and is the best way to find out which one is the best for you.

Bye bye ?

Greek-Mythology-Theme-January-20

[Unboxing] Fairyloot January 2021: Greek Mythology

, , 0

Hello people! Today I bring you an unboxing that excites me because it’s from my first Fairyloot box!


This is the January box and the theme is Greek Mythology. I can’t explain how hard it was to get it. I was lucky enough to join the waiting list in time for the invitation for the January box to arrive… but it turns out that they do not ship to Chile ?.
So I got depressed… but then I realized that I could bring it with a P.O. box. It costs an arm and a leg, but it arrived.

Outside of jokes so that you know if someone from Latin America wants to subscribe, I have a free P.O. box in Miami, so I am subscribed from the page for the United States and Canada. The subscription options are:

  • Monthly: USD $33.90 (+ shipping)
  • 3 months: USD $98.70 (+ shipping)
  • 6 months: USD $191.40 (+ shipping)

Shipping was USD $7.99, however it rose to USD $9.90.

I pay the monthly option, so the total corresponds to USD $43.89. And the total cost for the service of the P.O. box was about USD $44. Giving a total per box of ~ USD $88).

Anyway, for me it’s worth it so nothing to do ?‍♀️.

Now, the unboxing.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3404,3403,3402″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

The first thing that one finds when opening the box is the “spoilers card” (in truth I had already spoiled everything that was coming, but I still didn’t want to look at the paper at first ?).

Then we have our first object. A wooden spatula!! It is designed by @kdpletters and contains a quote from Julie Berry’s book Lovely War. It really fascinated me, but I have a big problem with it, I don’t know when I will dare to use it ?.

Then we have a book sleeve. It is my first sleeve and the truth is I do not think I will move from my house in another millennium (thanks covid ?), so it will only have a decorative use, but at least it is beautiful. It’s inspired by Madeline Miller’s Circe and designed by @chattynora.
In addition to its obvious beauty, the quality is very good. It has a zipper and lining inside with padding.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3399,3398,3397″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

The next thing we find is a trinket dish. Apparently the idea of ​​this is to put jewelry or things like that, but I am afraid that it will break, so I have no idea what I will do with it ?‍♀️. It’s inspired by the myth of Eros (Cupid) and Psyche about the love between a god and a human. The beautiful illustration was made by @taratjah. I was impressed, in addition to the beauty of the dish itself, with the care they put into the packaging.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3395,3394,3393,3392,3364″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

The next thing, and which again impressed me with the care in the packaging, is an enamel bookmark designed by @monolimeart and inspired by my favorite goddess, Athena. There is not much to say about it, the images speak for me.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3390,3389,3365″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

The next thing in the box are two tarot cards, corresponding to three and four of wands. Apparently these are collectible cards that come in every box and I’ve missed a lot ?. In this case they are inspired by the book The Wrath & the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh and were designed by @arz28.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3367,3368″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

Then we have a medusa-inspired clothing patch (iron-on), of the shield of Lore. The design was done by @alyesasworld. I saw a picture of someone who put it on the back of a black jean jacket and it looked divine.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3369,3370″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

And the last thing before the book is a Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson art print, also designed by @arz28.

Now… The famous book ?. The January book was a special edition of Lore by Alexandra Bracken.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3373,3374,3375,3376″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

In addition, inside the bag there is a letter from the author which has in the back a beautiful image of the characters designed by @runningquill_art. The letter made me want to read the book even more.

We also have a paper that includes the theme of the February box which was “What the Future Holds”, although this has already been sent and now we are on the March subscription whose theme is “Frozen Fables“.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3377,3378″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

Finally, the book. This edition has (takes a lot of air) exclusive cover, sprayed and stencil edges, artworks on the reverse of the dust jacket (by @lizzart_zardonicz), foil embossing on the front and the back of the case, custom endpapers and a printed signature (phew, breathe again). And all of this look like:

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 3381,3382,3383,3384,3385,3386,3387″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”400px” autoplay=”0″ image_size=”full”]

I’ve already started reading it and the truth is that the story is quite interesting and it seems super original to me.

Well, we have reached the end of this post ?. I hope you liked it as much as I enjoyed making it.

I can understand now why Fairyloot is one of people’s favorite boxes, it is definitely one of mine. The quality and dedication they put into each of their products, and even in the attention of their subscribers is wonderful. Without any doubt I recommend subscribing to anyone who likes fantasy and has the possibility. Even the box is beautiful.

Bye bye 💕

SoKawaii Diciembre

[Unboxing] SoKawaii December 2019

, , , , , , 0

A little later than I expected, but I finally received my Christmas self-present: SoKawaii subscription box Christmas version.

I’ve been wanting to buy another of these boxes with little things from Japan, and SoKawaii caught my attention since a while, ’till they show in the spoilers the figure of Sakura coming in December box and I got immediately convinced ?.

For buying one you have to enter SoKawaii (If you use this link you get a 10% discount). If you just want to try for a month you can choose the monthly pay option and then cancel the subscription right after.

The first thing we find is a little paper with the box content.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 902,903″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”500px” image_size=”full”]

This month, the box contained 6 objects: One Sanrio eco-bag, one Sanrio Christmas plushie for the tree, one Pokemon cloth, one Sanrio hair brush, Sanrio hermetic bags and Card Captor Sakura figure.

https://awindowtomysoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/WhatsApp-Image-2020-01-19-at-12.52.53-2-769x1024.jpeg

The eco-bag I got is a Cinnamoroll version (It’s too beautiful! ?). It says it resist 5 kg and it’s foldable for transport (Probably it has a better folding style than mine ?).

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 843,844″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”500px” image_size=”full”]

The Christmas ornament is one of my favorite things from this month. It’s a beautiful plushie with a gift box and a jingle bell, that looks even more beautiful when hangs on the tree.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 838,834″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”500px” image_size=”full”]

The Pokemon cloth is actually a Furoshiki. According to sir Wikipedia this is “a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth traditionally used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods”. I got the spring version which is really pinky and with those adorable Pikachus ?.

https://awindowtomysoul.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/WhatsApp-Image-2020-01-19-at-12.52.51-2-1024x768.jpeg

The hairbrush I got is Kuromi’s version, personally my favorite from both. It’s super nice to brush your hair as it’s the type that massage your head and hardly pulls your hair. The star-filled inside is too beautiful, but I noticed that when I brush my hair usually one or two of them fall. Also, you must avoid wetting it (yes, I wet it but it’s already dry ?) as the water gets inside the brush and the design gets wet and the stars stuck. Anyway, it’s my favorite hair brush.

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 859,858″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”500px” image_size=”full”]

The hermetic bags were unexpected for me and, at first, they didn’t catch my attention, but the truth is that they are of a really good quality. The only problem is that they are M size, so I still don’t find them a use (it’s just that I don’t want to waste them ?).

[su_image_carousel source=”media: 849,848″ crop=”none” align=”center” max_width=”500px” image_size=”full”]

Sakura’s figure is wonderful. To be honest I was afraid that it had a bad quality but it’s excellent, maybe it has a little lack of details but nothing serious because only the most expensive figures are more detailed. The only critic I could make is that Kero is superimposed instead of fixed. Nevertheless, this shouldn’t be important as the figures don’t tend to be moved.

That’s all from this box. I don’t know when I’ll do another order but when I do it will probably be from SoKawaii, I loved every one of the objects and, above all, I liked the fact that I didn’t feel any of the objects to be useless. If you like kawaii stuffs, I seriously recommend you these boxes.
