It amazes me how the crates are able to come up with new themes monthly. Won't they eventually repeat themes?

^I think the themes might be similar to each other sometimes, but they use different kind of names for it etc.

Here are Owlcrate's past boxes: https://www.owlcrate.com/blogs/owlcrate

Oooh I like the Night Circus pencil tin in the June 2020 box.

That is a cool add on item.

Oh I never heard of Faecrate. Are the themes similar to Owlcrate?

Hmmm. I'd say Faecrate often choses less "obvious" choices for their book selection so it's often books I haven't heard of but still enjoy.

I checked out the company that provided it and it seems to be a no longer running site...weird.

That's cool.

I liked some of the themes (Hold My Crown: April 2019 ) and some of the art pieces.
So pretty.

Maybe it went out of business?

that's really sad. Bad time for small businesses.

I have Book of the Month and enjoying it so far! I love that the add-ons are just 10 dollars. For a hardcover book!

If I had more space to put all that stuff I might enjoy the little items and trinkets, but honestly right now I would probably give/throw lots away, so it wouldn't be a good investment

The Book of the Month box appeals the most to me. I follow them on Instagram and honestly pretty much every month there's a book I would love to read/own, but it doesn't ship internationally.

It stands at the top of the page that she/he has the shop closed for few weeks.


Will get my January Illumicrate tomorrow. My January Owlcrate hasn't been updated since January 16th.

Bummer. I guess she can't get supplies right now?

That is why I don't subscribe. While it's a great idea and a lot for one's money, I just don't have the room.

Oh no! I was shocked because I got mine super quickly? I think it only took like a week or something.

^You are so lucky. My box came to Sweden today. Now I have to pay for custom for it before they send it out, but there is something wrong on the site (says they can't find it) so I can't pay it yet.
