OWLCRATE SUBSCRIPTION BOX

17/11/2017

77 Comments

 
In all my life since the beginning of book crates, I have always dreamed of owning an OwlCrate to call my very own: ever since its first launch. I am now proud to say that against all odds of being unable to purchase online, I was granted the opportunity to receive their October, ‘Once Upon a Dream’ themed OwlCrate for review, which I still cannot get over! It feels as if this is a dream and that the crate will miraculously disappear without a trace. (Thankfully that is not the case; otherwise my poor heart would break.)
 
For those of you who do not know, OwlCrate is a YA book subscription box that supplies newly released YA books with 3-5 bookish merchandise and goodies. Each crate costs $29.99us shipping ($6.99 to US, $10.59 to Canada, $19.99 Worldwide). Each box comes with a card detailing the items included and about the month’s chosen theme.

Also please note that the photos below do not do the Neverland Beanie justice.
You can check out a store photo of the product here.

Upon appearance, the crate arrived in pristine condition with neat shipping details on the back of the box, sealed shut for safety. The design (as you can see in the photos below) is decorated with simple designs that are eye catching and presentable, worthy to be placed upon a bookshelf for display. The box itself is quite study and well made. Inside the box you’ll find a number of bookish items based on the crates theme alongside the main item, a new highly anticipated YA read. The hardback book you receive is guaranteed to be a new release that comes with a signed book template by the author that you can stick in, and a pre-scanned letter from the author as well that is exclusive to OwlCrate. You also receive an exclusive OwlCrate pin (that is a new edition to the boxes) that is adorned with the same design as theme card and on the edges of the pin it states the theme, and the number of the OwlCrate edition based on each month.
***I received this product in return for an honest and unbiased review***

OwlCrate was created to share the joy of reading with the world. We believe in the importance of literature, and the magic of the written word. Stories help to expand our minds, expose us to new experiences, and show us that we're not alone. But we also know that reading can often feel like a solitary activity, and we wanted a way to bring book nerds together. By sharing the fun of unboxing your OwlCrates, as well as reading each month's chosen novel along with other members, we hope you find a safe and happy place among our community.

I reckon purchasing a one off box for your first time is definitely worth the shot and choosing a monthly theme that you know you'll love. The crates are actually worth more than they charge (though shipping can be pricy if you're purchasing internationally). A Hardback book can range in price from $20-$40 on average and one of the products (The Neverland Beanie) actually costs $22 in store.

Hmmmm I suppose that is true.... I actually live in Canada so the shipping is fine, but now that you mentioned the pricing of the items I'll consider saving up for a crate and purchasing the wonderland one or another future one.

Like for a 3 month of 6 month subscription?

Yeah I was wondering which one I should get for my first time

Abooktopia link
1/11/2016 07:48:03 pm

It's a good choice to go with the 3 months subscription package if you're a first time customer (You will need to pay an extra shipping charge on top of each crate).

BooksofWords&Wonder
1/11/2016 11:00:02 pm

Yeah that's probably the best choice especially since this year is nearly over and I can start a fresh next year in feb and do the 6 month one

Abooktopia link
2/11/2016 11:04:16 am

That's exactly what I was thinking actually since it seems a bit more logical for the first purchase and allows you to also start a new next year.
