LitJoy Spring Crate: Wishes & Curses

Hello Lovelies, I have another fun subscription box to share with you. I’ve reviewed LitJoy’s Magical Crate before and now I’m sharing with you their fun Young Adult Crate. While this is marked YA, adults will love this box as well. If you’re a Cinderella fan or a fan of bookish-themed boxes then stick around as I dive into the Wishes & Curses Crate from LitJoy!

This is the Spring Wishes & Curses Crate. This was a wee-bit late as they were waiting on an item to complete the crate and certain items are hard to get right now. I will say the item was definitely worth the wait!

 Just a quick bit of info before we get into the box; LitJoyYoung Adult Crate is a quarterly crate that’s unique in the fact they allow you to select 1 of 3 options. You can choose the whole crate (book with the items), just the book, or just the items. The book will be a new-release YA that is always signed and will be a LitJoy-Exclusive Edition.  I will have more information about each option in the box down below.

The Full Crate, which I’ll be reviewing, comes with 4-6 bookish items, a signed, LitJoy exclusive newly released YA book, print with author’s note, collector photo strip, and a pamphlet that tells you about the box. 

 

Here’s what was in the Spring Wishes & Curses LitJoy Box

 

Book: The Shadow in the Glass by JJA Harwood—this book is gorgeous with its lovely cover, beautiful endpaper, and sprayed edges. This is a Cinderella re-telling where her fairy godmother grants her seven wishes and it sounds like it’s going to be such a fun read.

While I do love the cover, there is a reversible dust jacket with a lovely illustration by Sophia Volovik.

Also included is a gorgeous print with an author’s note on the back.

1-Cinderella Ice Tray—this is a silicone ice tray that’s adorable. I’m not one to typically use ice trays, but this would make a fun candy mold.

2-The Princess Bride Magnetic Notepad—I can always use a notepad and this one’s magnetic, which I love.

3-Blood And Ash Sticker—cute little sticker with a quote from Blood & Ash.

4-Daevabad Series Teacup And Saucer—I’m obsessed with this magic carpet teacup and saucer.

5-The Invisible Life of Addie Larue Wooden Box—I’ve been searching for a cute little round box to hold a roll of stamps that would look cute on my desk and this box is perfect and it’s book-themed!  

6-Caraval Zipper Pouch—this is something that I will definitely use, especially when I’m running quick errands.

7-Cassian and Nesta Photo Strip—these make the perfect bookmarks.

My thoughts about the Spring Wishes & Curses LitJoy Crate—this was a fun little box full of unique but useable items.

The ice tray isn’t something I would have gravitated to but I’ve been wanting to get a small mold for candy and this will be perfect. While it’s nicely detailed, it looks like it will be easy to clean, so that’s plus. The teacup and saucer is amazing and, while it’s a mini, it can be used as a tea and biscuit tray, which I love. I’m so thrilled for the wooden box and love that the lid’s magnetic, so I can just slid the lid to the side when I need to open the box.  The zipper pouch will be used on my next errand run—it’s the perfect size where I won’t worry about losing it.

I’m not a fan of getting single stickers as an actual item, especially one that’s on the smaller side. It would have been nice if the design and quote would have been on an enamel pin or something else.

When the box first arrived, I had intended to break it up and use parts of it as birthday and/or Christmas gifts (as I do with the majority of the items in the Magical Crate) but I absolutely loved every single item in the box so I think I’ll be enjoying this box for myself!

Overall, I loved this box. The items are very well crafted and of very nice quality. The ceramic used for the teacup and saucer is heavy-duty and I don’t have to worry about the cup breaking from use or crazing.

This box is considered a ‘YA’ box but I don’t find that items to be kiddie and I love that. I also like that they offer different crate options although given the price for the entire crate, you really can’t go wrong with getting the whole thing.

I highly recommend this box to all book lovers. It would be something nice to gift to others or yourself.
