I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not a box subscriber kind of gal. I don't do Fab Fit Fun, Rachel Zoe or any of those highly popular Japanese stationery boxes. The only box I will do is the Erin Condren Seasonal Surprise Box ($35 + free shipping). Why? Because I missed one box one season last year and I'll forever regret it. Truth be told, not all boxes have been amazing, but I share the goods with my 10 year old daughter so usually between the two of us we can pretty much use everything in the box. I will say lately, like the last three boxes have been really great. Oh Erin Condren, you have me with these boxes! I love that there is a mix of things for any paper lover and then there is one major key item that's a wow factor for me. Last season for the holidays it was the coffee mug (which I use daily) and this season it's the adorable printed mid-century cricles umbrella.
This spring's box theme is Splash of Color. Inside the box there is:
1) MId-Century Circles Umbrella, an exclusive item for the box or available in the physical Erin Condren stores ($28 value)
2) 10 Color Skinny Paper Tape set, includes a gold ring to attach them to your planner or zip case - sneak peek item ($6 value)
3) Interchangable Metallic Quote Cover: "Always Have the Courage To Start" - exclusive ($8 value) It's now on my EC notebook
4) Dual-Tip Marker Set in pink and green - sneak peek ($10 value)
5) Stylized Sticky Note Booklet - sneak peek ($14 value)
6) Sticker Sheet Duo - exclusive ($7 value)
This is what it looks inside the sticker booklet. Lots of colorful page flags and sticky notes!
What I love about this seasonal surprise box is that you can reuse the shipping box. Just reverse it out and the quote and clean box goes on the outside. This one my USPS got a little more dirty inside than I wanted. I really love the coral color of this box and the quote is just what I need to get motivated.
This Spring box is sold out already. Be on the lookout in a couple of months for the Summer box! (Sing up below for the EC newsletter and you'll always be informed when the next box is ready to purchase!)
