Each month comes with a card with an illustration and explanation of the theme:
December is “Brr… it’s cold in here” month!
Hot Cocoa and Pie Bookmarks
All bookmarks have a separately designed front and back.
And they have magnets on either side to hug the page of your book!
Snuggly Polar Bears Bookmark
Every month, Crafted Van makes it really difficult to pick a favorite bookmark! How adorable is this polar bear and cub?
Penguin Bookmark
This one might be my favorite in the bunch, though! I love how this penguin is really ready for cold weather!
Verdict: This subscription falls into the delightful category for me. It might not be a good fit for everyone, but I’m always happy to see these cute bookmarks in any of my book subscriptions, so a subscription full of them is just extra awesome.
Crafted Van bookmarks retail for around $4.50, so the value of this subscription is around $18. It cost me about $10.50 shipped, so I see the value there, too. (Plus these designs may be exclusive – I can’t find them in their etsy shop!)
What do you think of Crafted Van?

These are so cute, would make great gifts for book lovers. I just might subscribe!
O! I love love love the polar bear and cub bookmark!!
I absolutely adore this sub! I read a lot and am not going to lie I’m a huge fan of the old school bookmarks but these were too cute for me to pass up! Ever since I’ve joined the 2 ladies that run it are amazing at picking great themes and making me say “how cute is that!” Every single month! They have wonderful customer service and I love that it’s a small business.
Very cute!
I love this sub. I’ve also been using the Penguin since he came and he is awesome! I love that this is a small business, the address on the envelop is handwritten.
I’ve lost a few of the other bookmarks from past months, the bat disappeared in a day 🙂 but I bet I will find them once I begin perusing old books in a few years.
Those are adorable.
I have been using the penguin since he came and he makes me so happy every time I open my book!
