Power of Illusions
December 2018 OwlCrate Box
Contents:
- The Lunar Chronicles candle by Flick the Wick
- The Crown’s Game ornament by Juniper and Ivy Designs
- The Night Circus magnet by Ink and Wonder Designs
- Caraval tote bag by Stella Bookish Art
- Magical Monthly Reading Planner by Blue Star Press
- Amber pendant necklace
- King of Fools excerpt
- Amber & Dusk by Lyra Selene
I don’t really like either of these items. Golden yellow is not my color and I am not a flowery person.
I LOVE the smell of this candle. Blackberry Vanilla is my favorite scent, which is super weird because I don’t like the smell of vanilla by itself.
The rest of the items are fine. I will throw the magnet on my fridge and the ornament on my tree. I won’t read the excerpt because I didn’t read the first book. The pin is cute and I will put it with all my others.
This is a really pretty cover and I like the colors of the OwlCrate exclusive. This book also sounds really good! I can’t wait to read it.
Despite it being flowery, I really really love this planner! The layouts are great, and its all about reading! Unfortunately I already have a planner and I know it would be a bad idea to try and keep another. But I will probably steal the layouts!
Overall this box is pretty good. I really love the candle and I’m excited for the book. I will get use out of the ornament and the magnet, but I don’t love either.
Next month’s theme is Magical Artifacts! There better be some Harry Potter Stuff!!!!
Do you subscribe to any subscription boxes? Tell me about them! Do you love them? So you love this one? Let me know 🙂
That reading planner is lovely, I always feel a bit weird getting them in sub boxes (Fairyloot have done two now) because I always use my Bullet journal so they go unused (and by the time you have them it’s too late to offer them to other people on twitter!) but this box (and your photos) looks lovely

I am the same way. I love my bullet journal and I know if I try to use this reading planner and my bullet journal I will fail, so I am going to stick with my bullet journal because I know it works! And thanks 🙂

I really like all the items in the December box. We used to get it, but because I wasn’t using everything, we canceled it. We get Owlcrate Jr. again for the kids though. So far so good.
Hope you end up enjoying it all. I actually like the tote because it’s dark and the the necklace is stunning! ♥️

So far I actually use a lot of the things, but the more I get I know I will start using less haha. I just haven’t reached that point yet! I’m glad the Jr. box is working for you 🙂

I was subscribing to a science fiction box, but I haven’t received anything in months, they must have cancelled it and not told me! In general I feel like most boxes are a waste of money, I mean how many bookmarks, prints, weird paper clips, strings of lights do you really need?😁

Oh no! Are you still getting charged for it? That sucks! And I think I will get to that point eventually, but so far the stuff has been different enough that I haven’t reached saturation and am still enjoying it 😀 😂

I LOVE SUBSCRIPTION BOXES! I had to come up with my own FREE version because I can’t add them to the budget yet. BUT it is one of my “writers rewards” so when I’m done editing my WIP I will subscribe. I really like all the items in your box! Especially the book and the reading planner. I hope you enjoy them! Magical Artifacts is going to be AWESOME!

Great unboxing! I wish I had subscribed for this month purely for the King of Fools sampler hahaha. Do you not have interest in Ace of Shades? I’d highly recommend it!

I sent you a message on twitter too, but if you want The King of Fools sampler you can have it! I think I own Ace of Shades actually and I want to read it eventually but I know I won’t get to it for a really long time because there are so many other books that are higher priority!
