The wrong pouch for the magnet could be the hint for the june box. Illumicrate wrote us an email that there would be a spoiler. 🤷♀️ It was sad, that this box took so long to arrive, but I am happy about the items

So, I have the indie copy from long ago, but I preordered the Waterstones and FL books. The customization on the FL book hooked me in and the Waterstones edition is fancier than the US versions.

That’s so funny that fairyloot and Illumicrate both did reusable wash pads. I think I prefer the Illumicrate design but I like that the fluffy bit of the fairyloot one is not white because then it won’t stain so much. A trivet is just a heatproof slab that you can put on kitchen counters or dining room tables to put hot pans on so they don’t damage the countertops/table. I love a good trivet

I'm so glad I skipped this box. The day I get plastic gloves from Illumicrate, will be my last day as a subscriber. What ever were they thinking of? Cheap plastic gloves, cheap little cloth circles, and a puzzle? The U.S. edition of the book, is better imo.
@izzybean913 3 ай бұрын
Each to their own! I really liked this box, the gloves are a lot sturdier than they appear and will be perfect for gardening. I enjoy puzzles and it’s nice that they’re including environmentally friendly make up removal items. I would say it’s probably one of the best boxes for me since Feb 2023! The standard U.K. cover and standard U.S. cover appear to be the same from what I can see and the Illumicrate one is just a recolouring, but I definitely prefer the Illumicrate colour scheme! Each to their own though! I can definitely see why people wouldn’t be interested in this box

I know they can’t send their monthly book boxes to the U.S. because it’s a publishing company that runs The Locked Library.
