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 beautifully set box with a lovely theme for October. Let’s start on the leaflet and go clockwise:
- Theme leaflet and contents.
- Underneath, a delightful deskpad with a vrow and keys and perfect purple tones. Love it!
- Nightfell replica dagger, not sure which book it is from as I don’t really collect them, but it is pretty.
- Finding Dreams notebook, and it is a gorgeous one which feels too good to use (but will be used, it is on the notebooks shelf waiting its turn).
- The featured book was After the Forest by Kell Woods, another one still on my list but unread.
- And finally, we have some woodland and witch page tabs for little notes or to highlight specifics. I admit I am not someone who does this type of thing except for drawing reference, but I still like them and can appreciate them.
A good box overall, that deskpad takes the winner out of it because it is so pretty. I am never super keen on dagger replica boxes because it is just a thing that I don’t know what to do with. So it isn’t the best box, but not the worst either.
