Subscription box: Illumicrate
Theme/Month: Revenge is Sweeter, October 2021
Ownership: Subscribed on their 6 boxes option. If you are interested in purchasing an Illumicrate subscription, you can do it on their website.
Illumicrate is a book subscription box, it usually features fantasy and sci-fi but not exclusively young adult, sometimes it features adult too. It usually contains a new release, a pin and several bookish goodies.
A highly expected read, and a bang of a box for October. Starting with the bottom item and going clockwise:
- A book carrying bag, not even sure how to describe it, but it is almost like a fabric foldable basket and it is ideal for a catch-all. This is the second one and I love it alongside the first, please send more of these.
- Measuring cups, which at the time, the day before got the box I had been looking at buying some and then like it read my mind, I had new measuring cups.
- The Convergence candle, I am slowly trying to burn through my collection but I am glad to still be getting candles.
- Collectable pin
- Theme leaflet that describes content and shops and fandom
- Iron widow, as the main book, and what a book to choose
- A print, which is, as usual, I am not bothered about, I like the art but that is it.
- Collectable mug, can’t remember the exact fandom but love it.
Overall it was a good box with items I had been looking forward to and a great book, so I liked it. Probably the only downside was having a print because those always feel like fillers but I get that people collect them, so it is all good for me. Not bad at all!
