Archer and Olive Unboxing - March Quarterly Subscription Box

[@WonderfullyMadeHandcrafting]

Thanks so much for your honest unboxings! This kit is beautiful 😍

[@minders78]

It’s definitely one of my favorites. Thanks for watching! 💜

[@DesertGal]

Yep! Beautiful box from them….!

[@minders78]

I agree

[@vcrouch6041]

You can use the scalloped edge of the ruler to make scalloped page edges in your journals. The fountain pen uses a converter. Cartridges are pre-filled.

[@minders78]

Thanks for watching.

[@ardellakoskinen5359]

Wow! That is a beautiful box of gorgeous goodies!

[@minders78]

I am so excited about it, as you can probably tell.

[@ardellakoskinen5359]

I can totally see why! @@minders78

[@preciousmemoryboxesjunkjou3642]

Love the whole kit this time! Love the kraft journal!

[@minders78]

Me too! I’m so glad I didn’t cancel after last time.

[@JessaCrownedByJesus]

Wow this one has to be a second fave (the library box being my fave). 🖤

[@minders78]

Same!!

[@pbnjezly404]

Beautiful box!!

[@minders78]

Isn’t it lovely? Thanks for watching!

[@ladyelainefairchild3546]

I’ve learned the best way to open the boxes without tearing the tabs is to use a letter opener to slip in and lift.

[@minders78]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll give that a try next time!

[@ladyelainefairchild3546]

I agree about what stationary boxes should be. I’m SO glad I didn’t cancel after I was enraged by the stupid mug and ridiculous tea tin followed by a water bottle the next month. I loved this box, it is beautiful. . (I also hate the loser affirmations like they had in the camp one. I’m an adult woman I don’t need corny cringe stickers that say don’t be afraid to fail or you got this, I’m not a third grader. These botanical stickers sayings in this box were much much better worded.)

[@minders78]

I completely agree! Thanks so much for watching!

[@elliesnotes]

Wow that’s very aggressive. I love the mug and use it to make my son tea since it’s a great size for him. The tea tin holds all of my gel and acrylic pens, and a water bottle is always useful. Also, as another adult woman. Sometimes simple affirmations are needed too. Like someone saying to me “you are doing great” to me when I was a new mom was so helpful to me. Simple but very needed. I get that you didn’t like those items but you don’t need to disparage them. Other people may like them and appreciated them. And implying people who liked them are third graders or stupid and childish is pretty rude.

[@planwithbelindajane6081]

Regarding packaging, I’m a bit confused that out of all the items they didn’t make a nicer box for the Fountain Pen to store it in. Like the scissor box in a previous box.

[@minders78]

Yes, exactly. That’s kind of my point. I’d love a nice case for my pen and I’d gladly sacrifice such decorative boxes for the journals. I understand it’s cost prohibitive to make everything super fancy, but personally I rarely keep the boxes for my journals but I’d definitely keep a nice case for my fountain pen. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@blee30]

Honest question.... What do you do with all those journals? Is that what you get every month? Journals and pens? Just saw this one opening, and though it's beautiful, I don't know what I'd do with that stuff. It would just clutter my desk....but I'm interested in how much you use it and what for. If everything wasn't on computers now, I might give it a go. I just really want to know if you honestly go through all of that paper for something specific.

[@minders78]

I use A&O journals for all kinds of things. This is a quarterly subscription. I use them for my planner, for church and sermon notes, as a personal journal, all sorts of things. There have been some boxes where I wasn’t as thrilled with the items. Those I have tried to give away or sell. But as a lifelong writer/journaler/notetaker I always find uses for the journals.

[@Keasha274]

I was upset I couldn't get the December box would you be interested in selling?

[@minders78]

Absolutely. However, the white pen did not work and the closure on one of the notebooks broke during my unboxing. I’m happy to include it if you’d like it anyway. You can dm on Instagram @minders78 and we can discuss it.

[@rhiiannon]

Is it £75 for a year or 1 box?

[@minders78]

The price is per quarterly box

[@rhiiannon]

@@minders78 ah okay thank you

[@natashajohnson5776]

You complain a lot. It really takes the enjoyment out of watching the unboxing.

[@minders78]

I am not complaining. I’m offering my honest opinion, which I can do as I pay for this subscription with my own hard earned money. I always appreciate people’s honest perspective so that’s what I offer on my channel. Thanks for watching.

[@dakotagrey260]

Personally I found the points she made valid. They didn’t feel like complaints to me as she was fair and she wasn’t obnoxious at all. She was excited for a lot of it and pointed out things i have thought before as well.

[@minders78]

@@dakotagrey260 Thank you so much.
