What are your thoughts on this box?
My thoughts: I absolutely love nautical themes and aesthetic, however, this didnโt have the same oomph factor as last months for both items and design. For me, I believe itโs due to the fact that there are so many avenues one can go with a nautical theme. It feels like this month has focused on the โLittle Mermaidโ rather than an overall sea setting or books with a sea setting. I guess this is reflective on the name of the theme. ๐๐
In terms of items, I like how useful the mug, hairbrush, and reuseable straws are, but I usually prefer buy my own type of hairbrush. Also, this hairbrush may not be useful for all types of hair. However, I thought the resuseable straws were a great idea.
In terms of design, I love how cohesive this theme is for colour. I love the use of blue and aquamarine. However, the pencil case is not my favourite item nor do I feel like I have much use for the enamel keychain. Nevertheless, the items are gorgeous.
๐๐จ๐ญ๐: Have you read Fabled? What are your thoughts on it? Otherwise, what did you think of this box?
๐๐จ๐ญ๐: Iโm so excited to read Fable! Iโve heard so many great things about ๐ plus I absolutely love books with a sea setting ๐
