The Graph Note-Taking Box | May 2024 Sub Box Review + Practical Uses | Cloth & Paper

[@Angusbeens]

I love your reviews you’re the only person who’s actually honest.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

❤️ Thank you so much!

I really like the aesthetic of the fluted dashboard but I didn't realize it was that thick! Maybe better as a discbound insert right behind the front cover.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

That sounds like a great idea for it!

[@martinez.31n]

I wish the boxes came with more inserts. There was only 4 sheets of each. I thought we were going to get more inserts. I liked your review. Thank you

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Thank you so much! I do like getting inserts as well. I think whichever are the most popular will end up on their website. Hopefully they list the ones you enjoy 🥰

[@deeslifestyleloves]

I love the "dashboard" but I use it as a cover. I agree about the pens and the fact something is missing.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Using it as a cover is such a great idea! Maybe the third box is the charm??

[@s1mplebeauty]

I really appreciate your honesty and I 100% agree with everything you said. I've had a monthly subscription box since 2021 and I feel like the boxes are becoming more hit or miss - which is such a bummer because I generally love everything they carry in the store. That change in card stock was a definite down grade.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Thank you! 🥰 And yes I feel the same. Their website is fantastic and has so many great items. Hopefully future boxes will include more useful products🤞🏾

[@robynkahle7240]

I love your honesty and thoroughness also,

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Thanks Robyn ❤️

Heyyyyy🤗. Wishing you calmer weather. I’m in Georgia and this rain & cloudiness is a bit much🥴. I’ve skipped the last two sub boxes and deciding if I’ll get the June box…we shall see. I already have several graph note inserts so thanks for the helpful tips. Enjoy your weekend.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Hey there!! The rain is gone for a little while…at least in NOLA. Graph notes are the absolute best! Enjoy your weekend as well ❤️

I agree with you on the dashboards (fluted and rhythm / ritual). I was disappointed in the penspiration box; 2 markers and no pen. My envelope folder was already torn in its base. I contacted Cloth and Paper and asked for a credit as I did not want to have replaced something I did not like. I received a prompt response and a credit. I really thought that May Box would be super duper since it is Ashley’s birthday month. I want more inserts each month.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

More inserts definitely seems to be the big ask out of the boxes and I agree. It’s essentially the most functional item they could include. I hate that your envelope was torn but I’m glad they gave you a credit! Cloth and Paper has fantastic customer service from my experience - a rare thing to find these days 🤗

I asked for this box for Mother’s Day; it’s the first sub box I’ve seen where I knew I would use everything. Some alternative points: I love optical glass effects, so I am using this as a cover in my A5 rings. I don’t believe it’s meant to be stared at for long enough to give you a headache 😁. I put a photo dashboard behind it. It was mentioned somewhere on C&P (I think) that this would add some support to the lack of structure the folios can have. The ruler is so beautiful and useful, I use it every day already. The notepad works great with my weekly layout, you are right. The envelope is thin, but I keep it on my desk shelf with my extra inserts and dashboards in it. Time will tell! I no longer have a subscription, but I agree, more inserts would be welcomed.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

That’s so sweet! And happy belated Mother’s Day ❤️ I’m glad you love the dashboard! Using it in less structured covers is a great idea. Several folks have mentioned using it as a cover in general - such a great way to take advantage of the thickness! And yes more inserts are ALWAYS welcome 🥰

[@yaszit2210]

Thank you for your review. If I’m being honest, I was throughly disappointed with this box. I’ve been an Intention’s Box subscriber since about 2018. The price of the box and the content use to seem on par. I’m not so sure anymore. It”s a lot of money for each month to be hit or miss. For example this month would have felt more exclusive if the acrylic stamp set was included in the box instead of being offer on the site for subscribers to shop first. I also agree about everything you said about the fluted dashboard. It’s more of a planner cover, which is what I ended up using it as… I wasn’t impressed at all.. 😔 That said I am looking forward to the vessel for June, the card-stock envelope was such a let down from the previous month’s vessels.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Yes I definitely agree! I also thought the stamp set would have been a nice addition to the sub box. It is an investment and I’m hoping they get it right in future boxes (at least more often than not). From the sneaks I do think the June box is shaping up to be pretty nice so we’ll see!🤞🏾

[@Bruntgrits]

Great review!

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Thank you!!

[@_queenbrielle]

Always loves your reviews. I am utilizing the fluted dashboard simply as a cover over a picture. Did not realize it was that thick. Not utilizing the rhythm dashboard placed that along with the matchbox inside the folded envelope. Wish the matchbox with the page flags had a closure flap like typically matchboxes.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Thanks so much! And yes it’s definitely not thin by any means 😬 A full closure on the flags would be helpful. The sticker loss it’s adhesive after the first open.

[@marshablount353]

Thank you! Yes I am hoping they do! I did get the Intention box but as a disc bound. I also have an A5 ring so maybe it will be available later! Love your videos!😊

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Thanks so much! And yes it seems to be pretty popular so I’m sure it will pop up on their website at some point this summer 🤗

[@IWroteItInPen]

I really disliked this box. The file folder “bag” was a total mismatch also. Such a shame since the April box was awesome.

[@ThePlannerAisle]

The envelope bag was unfortunate. I’m hoping June will a much better box. Crossing my fingers🤞🏾

[@zechariah4663]

Exactly!!! What were they thinking calling this plastic thing a dash board. Im trying to repurpose it as a cover but .....

[@ThePlannerAisle]

I see a lot of people are using it as a cover; it’s not my cup of tea, but it might be a good alternative if you do like the design ❤️

[@marshablount353]

I would love to purchase your fluted dashboard if you would like to sell it. I love it so let me know!

[@ThePlannerAisle]

Hi! I’m glad you love the dashboard 🤗 I’m not selling it at the moment - in case I need it for reference in future videos. But I believe C&P are planning to carry it on their website in the near future ❤️
