I was scrolling through my twitter not so long after I’d read The Strangeworlds Travel agency and saw a retweet about getting the book as a themed box called ‘Expand your mind’ through a company called We Read Box. It comes with some additional themed items and as I adored the book and with the lure of a limited edition Pin badge amongst other bits, I bought the box on pre order.
I checked out their twitter page as well as their website for previous boxes and liked the look of some of their older boxes called ‘Natural magic’ and ‘You are enough’ and as they are past boxes, they had the full contents and unboxing details.
As I have a ridiculous (but good) amount of books to be read, I held off buying them and told myself that I really didn’t need them. AND THEN, they put a picture up of the enamel badge in the Natural magic box and that was it, I was hooked – line and sinker!!! I took the plunge and ordered the 2 boxes (I didn’t tell my other half as I think he would have had a purple fit at yet more books) and I waited patiently. Well, not that patiently as they both arrived really quickly today and boy oh boy were they worth the money as well as the few days wait!
I’ve never done an unboxing video or anything and Looby Lou said she’d video it so here goes, my very first unboxing video for the You are enough box. Eek!
I also took photos of the unboxing of the Natural magic box.
Sadly, due to lack of interest in the previous full boxes, the lovely ladies at We Read Box will only be doing the mini versions. Here’s hoping that through extra sales and regular purchases, I and others can convince them otherwise as they are so special.
I am absolutely taken aback at the thought that has gone into these boxes and how so matched the items are to the books and the themes. To have limited edition, specially commissioned pieces as well as signed books or book plates for £27 is an absolute steal.
