    I think the 8x8 sweater book would be great to record family recipes and traditions. Or a book journal, very Jolabokaflod vibe. Reading books and eating chocolate on Christmas eve.

    Re-watch here. I'm a very old woman who is brand new to this community. Maybe it's my age, but I love floral designs, and I adore cross stitch. I've never done embroidery work, but when my vision was better, I used to cross-stitch small pieces for relaxation. I viewed the Archer & Olive website during the Black Friday sales. Their products are beautiful, but costly! I watched your presentation on 40 supplies that you personally recommended, and I believe I left a comment telling you how refreshing it was to see a man's POV for journaling items. I doubt that I will ever buy from A & O, but I will continue to enjoy watching videos like this one! :)

      I sub, this will be my second box & I'm (im) patiently waiting for mine to arrive - I'm in the UK, so it takes a little longer. Shipping costs can be quite high, & that did put me off subscribing, but I watched unboxing videos (Inc yours), got a bad case of FOMO & gave into temptation 😊 Loved my first box but this one is epic! Sorry I missed the live - #rewatchcrew 😅

    I'm watching this on replay and this was fun! I really liked the two notebooks and that sweater one I actually really liked alot. It's just very different than I've seen other notebook designs for the holiday/winter season plus I think when florals are not you're thing this seems more neutral. Great review and fun as always to watch

  • @suzanneklaren4936

    I was on the fence ordering this box because of the 8x8 notebook. I hate saying this but it looks so "anemic" to me. Ooooo, that hurt admitting. The A5 is a gem and practically everything else in the box is fun so I bought it. This is the first time I will be gifting an A&O notebook. I think they could have come up with a slightly more dynamic color story for that notebook. Pity! Great video Mark!

    I think that the box was shipped a little on the late side too, but they had the Black Friday Sale, then the quarterly sub box, and then a partial restock of items for Cyber Monday. All in all a pretty busy weekend for the A&O team. And pretty busy for my wallet too.

  • @dorkvania7212
    @dorkvania7212 День тому +2

    I was debating whether to get this box, and wound up getting it because it shipped before I decided whether to cancel. Oops. But, I liked it way more than I thought I would. I am also not into florals, but part of my family is from Norway and I enjoy folk style art. The bookmark and the corner punch are misses for me, they will join the box I have of A&O items that I need to rehome when I get a chance.

    Rewatch from Germany, first I thought ‚oh no florales, better skip this box‘ buuut i couldnt miss out the Chance for a 8x8 because i only started the sub box this Summer. They ship international, its not only the shipping that makes it expensive also its the taxes of customs. For Germany it nearly doubles the Price 😢 but luckily Archer & Olive or the shipping Company does the customs paperwork so less stress for me 😂

    I am scandinavian, so maybe I'm just bored with the knitting patterns and homemade embroidery stuff because it's so common here 😂😂 HOWEVER! I am very happy that A&O finally gave me a notebook where I can make my swatches and washi tape collection samples! They've all been too pretty thusfar, but that is what I will use my 8x8 for. :D The rabbit stamp will be great for easter, I love the inkpads and I'm sure I can use the washi for something. Pretty good box! (oh the punch was cool too!)

    What about using the vegan leather stickers to create a cool paperclip book mark or something. Just use card stock on the back with the paperclip in the middle. Or to seal letters written like a wax seal.
