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.
I think this was one of those boxes super on point for the theme with all the items looking very cohesive between them, but let’s see each in detail, starting from the leaflet and going clockwise:
- Contents leaflet
- Celestial Kingdom book light, which is more or less a “book” that opens into a lamp which is pretty cool!
- The featured book which was Song Of Silver, Flame Like Light by Amelie Wen Zhao, which gorgeous design and printed edges.
- Phoenix book jacket. I like these book jackets since they’re almost like a slip on cover and can be used for notebooks too and make them look nicer, very pretty design (my only downside is that it is a lot of white and can get dirty easily)
- A zipper charm for Pendragon, which initially I was like “a zipper charm” but then remembered some annoying zippers that are always a pain to grab and pull, and decided this was a very useful little thing, and so far it has been.
- Lighten the darkness water bottle with a sleeve. I like the glass bottles and it is very pretty, and I love a nice sleeve for it, but I am also always slightly scared of breaking it (the sleeve helps a little).
I admit that more than a year later and I have yet to read the book, woops, but the contents have bene used and enjoyed so it was overall a good box.
