My Paper + Pen subscription arrived in a bubble mailing envelope. All of the items were nicely wrapped in tissue paper when I opened it.
you got this Pencils - Harvest Paper Co. - $5.75
These are dark navy pencils with gold embossing that says 'you got this.' They are no. 2 pencils made with graphite lead and California cedar wood. I love these! They'll be perfect for a pick me up midterms week!
Le Pen Marker - Marvy Japan - $0.88
This is a very thin point marker. It writes very smoothly, and makes a very thin line.
Ancien Stamp Stickers - Red Currant - $1.90
These are really pretty stickers! There are two sheets, with 8 stickers on each sheet. The stickers are matte, with no shine, and they feel slightly velvety, but they're not flocked. Hopefully this makes sense! They look like authentic stamps too!
Sea and Lake Paper Co. Adult Status Achieved Notebook - $8.00
I love this - I can't express how much I love this! I definitely feel the struggle of 'adulting,' and this is going to help me feel better on my not so great days! I can write down three things I've already done that day (eat cookies, drink tea, etc.), and feel like I've conquered the world. All kidding aside, this is a really fun notepad, and I'm going to enjoy using it.
Verdict: The March Paper + Pen has a value of about $16.65. This is definitely under the cost of the box if you're paying month to month, but above the cost if you paid for an entire year. This is a box where you get a rather large discount if you subscribe for a year.
With the value of out the way, I've really enjoyed this box so far! The highlighters that I received in my last shipment are amazing, and I don't think I'll ever use another type! The two Etsy stores I was introduced to this month - Harvest Paper Co. and Sea and Lake Paper Co. - have some really cute things in their stores, and I realllly want this mug! As always the value of the smaller boxes to me is based on curation, and I think Paper + Pen does a great job!
