You can also use a Tombow or mildliner on the stamps and either breathe on them with mouth or mist them lightly with water then stamp works well

The playing cards annoy me more than anything. Any smooth playing card will begin to stick and warp with the slightest humidity. Good quality playing card will be “air cushioned”…meaning they have a linen like texture to keep them playable for a long time. Those cards cost pennies to make. The tape dispenser was an after thought that didn’t even have their branding on it. The snow globe stickers would have been better if there were four different designs instead of two. The pens were super cheap quality as well as the paper cutter you can buy on Temu for a few bucks. The journals were nice, but the box definitely wasn’t worth the price. The value wasn’t there. I don’t understand how their advent calendars continue to disappoint when their quarterly boxes are spectacular for substantially less money.

Super helpful!
@thejoyfulsojourn2 күн бұрын
Haha! I guess I love Grandmas House! It’s cozy scandinavian, definitely different from dark academia! Everyone has such different taste, it would be cool if we could skip a box rather than cancel but I suspect it confuses the ordering amount on their end (how many to anticipate).
@ji7635Күн бұрын
I understand what you mean. There are so many beautiful skandinavien patterns and then they choose these designs. The washi colour and pattern combination is very strange. I hope the other 4 items will be more worth it. I want to cancel but maybe the other 4 items are really beautiful? I know there will be ink. That was on the website. Then I hope the other notebook and the other 2 items are worth it. I don't hope to receive socks. Maybe a beautiful mug? Or a beautiful planner cover? That would be nice. I pay a lot of shipping costs ( I live in Europe) and I wished I could see all 8 items before I decide to keep the subscriptionbox.

I absolutely love Scandiavian design and always have…this subscription box has my name written all over it! I’m also a knitter, and stranded knitting and Scandinavian knitting designs are some of my favorites. I really want to sign up for this one…but it’s Christmas season and how do I manage to get it in the budget 😮 Thanks for demonstrating the stamps. I don’t use stamps (not because I don’t like them, but because I’ve fallen into enough stationery rabbit holes and I have to stop somewhere, lol) and I really didn’t understand what the long row that looked like piano keys to me. I’m also loving the stamps and hope the ink is non-smearing cause it would be cool to color in the white spaces with markers. While this is no guarantee, I know A&O is trying to have a larger supply of products available. I’ve only gotten one subscription box and it was due to them having the capital to purchase more stock, and bought the summer subscription box (the school themed one…love every single item…and definitely the individual items are 2-3x worth of products than the $75 cost.) So, I’ll take the chance again.
