Happy Supplies Weekly Desk Planner
One side of this planner’s paper is a weekly calendar and the other side is lined. Since having my baby, I’ve learned that my epically-long to do lists don’t get accomplished these days and I’m learning to just pick 3-5 things a day to get done and be happy with that. So, a small and simple planner is actually perfect for me right now!
The cardboard cover for the planner also folds up to let you make it a desk calendar.
Vintage Wire Clip from Happy Supplies in Hong Kong
I really don’t know how to put a value on this clip, but it’ll be cute to hold extra papers or business cards in my planners!
Newspaper Pencils by Fox and Wit – value: $8
Handmade pencils tend to be a hit or miss for me. I think these are really pretty and feel nice in my hand, but I’m just not sure how much I’ll use them. That’s my personal preference, though.
Here’s a detail shot of the pencils.
“Little Notes, Big Ideas” Notebook from VBS Goodies
This is a nice sized notebook, and I like how sleek it is.
This is the inside – a pet peeve of mine for notebooks is when only one side is lined. Sure, I could doodle on the other side or something but that’s not how I personally use notebooks. My sister journals like nobody’s business, so I’ll probably pass this along to her so I know it’ll get good use!
The Verdict: This seems like a unique, artsy paper and paper goods subscription. I think the items are interesting, but unfortunately they’re not all something I will use. Because of the unique and small vendors, it’s hard to find values for the items – this may be the type of subscription where you just have to evaluate whether or not the items all together are something for which you’d personally pay $30, which is the cost of the monthly subscription.
