Each month comes with a card with an illustration and explanation of the theme:
December is all about letting "your dreams set sail!"
Jellyfish Bookmark
Leave it to Crafted Van to turn a sea creature I normally find scary into such a cutie!
Happy Whale Bookmark
All bookmarks have designs on both sides, and magnets to help them hug the page of your book:
Sailboat Bookmark
If you are looking for a high seas book to pair with these bookmarks, I recommend Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller from the March 2017 Owl Crate!
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.
The only downside for me is that I was really hoping for some holiday/winter themed bookmarks this month!
Crafted Van bookmarks retail for around $4.50, so the value of this subscription is around $13.50. It cost me about $10.50 shipped, so I still came out ahead. (Plus these designs may be exclusive - I can't find them in their etsy shop!)
