Hi team! 💜 The sub box is releasing to new subscribers at 9am CT on September 4th 🥳 If you wanted to grab yourself this one, head over to bit.ly/AOxJC 😊 The sub box page will be listed in the top right on desktop, or in the left-hand drop down menu on mobile 👌 For non-sub box purchases at A&O though, remember you can use JashiiCorrin10 at checkout for 10% off if you wanna 💸 We love savings! Note: until it's fully released at 9am CT on Sep 4th, the listing will read as "sold out" on the website, so don't worry that you've missed it if that time hasn't passed yet! 💪
I use the metal bookmarks as magnets on my fridge. I just glue/use the tape on the decorative part and that allows for notes, market lists, etc. to be placed nicely on the fridge. Those are lovely ones to add to my collection. All the items are rather clever and gorgeous.
When I saw the final journal my jaw dropped. It is truly the prettiest book I've seen in my life! The small ones are gorgeous and LOVE the kraft paper. Great box.
THAT KEY!!!! 😍😍😍😍 Omg, that is beautiful!!!! So in love with it! Not to mention the whole vibe. Very dark, fairy tale..... Alice in Wonderland or Beauty and The Beast style.
@@JashiiCorrin I already have a dark academia theme for my desk in my room. I got a bunch of light up bottles from last year's Target Dollar Spot Halloween selection and the letter opener will fit right in!
My darkly academic inner child lovvves the idea of a secret key knife, flicking it sharply to cast aside the scabbard and reveal my blade in times of danger and strife 😂
I love the tiny red notebook and the key. Those are my favorites, however, I think I'm going to give the two mini notebooks to my 2 youngest sons, one of which loves chess and the other loves red & black. I'm excited for this box, I have so many creative ideas to start rolling with!
This box is absolutely gorgeous, the mix of colours and the floral and chess desgines are lovely, that last notebook with the flowers is just something that makes me think of my nan, she would adore that, I have got to say, I have always been a bit scared of gel pens, I never use them but maybe that is because I haven't found a decent gel pen yet, so will definetly have to look into the ones you use. Thank you so much for your videos, and your discord. It has been such a lovely wholesome space to feel creative and refreshed. (Definetly don't have shopping carts filled with journal supplies ready for pay day)
A&O do an incredible job of coordinating papers and colors each season. I was a sub member for a year, but don’t do enough journaling (although I do it every day!!) to use up all that was in the box… so I have to use up the ones I have. Gorgeous items…
I loved all the items! I wasn’t convinced by the color palette at first for dark academia but I think it all came together nicely when every item was revealed.
🇬🇧 Lovely items! I've been a Stationery freak my whole life & can't resist buying large, medium, small & mini books but I do use them. I'm a compulsive Wordsmith & I've note books for Quotes I like, others for miscellaneous info I find interesting as I devour knowledge. I number my pages & Create an index of what it contains at the back or front of the book. I used some for sketches or little paintings, pressed flowers, leaves, zen designs, doodles, sometimes cinema ticket stubs, concert stubs, wine labels, bits of fabric, wool, the list is endless. About 40 years ago I inadvertently began collecting Keys. Id pick them up at Car Boot sales, charity shops, markets, old used furniture shops usually carry boxes of varying old keys from old wardrobes, drawers, music boxes. I had so many, often very decorative or antique looking, varying metals etc. I ended mounting them in box type frames, with different keys next to each other but with a theme connecting them. Closing the glass lid of the box, keys well secured within, I hang them on my walls around my house & art studio. They look amazing & each one tells a story. Here in Britain we have a bargain type chain store called The Works. They sell stationery, art supplies, books, wooden boxes & tiny drawers which are plain wood & you can decorate in any style you like & they are really pretty cheap. I go there every month & sweep up everything! I come out laden with big carrier bags full of treasures & rarely spend over £45! Amazing value. I don't know how much your boxes cost but as I use every item I buy to some purpose & not just as collectors items or display ( At least until I've transformed the items in decoration etc) My little studio is jam packed with incredible things awaiting my attention & I spend whole weekends immersed in creating! I'm in 7th Heaven. I'm sure The Works is online, & to list their stock would take me days & I'd still not cover half of what they sell! I just bought 12 inch high sets of drawers with the cutest handles, 4 or 5 drawers, plain wood & each cost just £3.50 or £4.50 for the 5 drawer chest! Thank you for your lovely video! I take care when opening boxes too! Peace & Harmony 🇬🇧🙋🏻♀️
Thank you, Jess! I can't pick a fav - I love them all! This will only be my second A&O sub box as I came late to the party. Absolutely LOVED the first one (June 2024) and I am already drooling over this one lol!!
I'm always annoyed when so many sticker sheets and books very rarely mirror stickers making it difficult to make something symmetrical or if you're going for random.
That's a lovely box of goodies. I have been watching advent calendar overpriced stationery tat unboxings (for a Christmas present); ths was pleasure to watch and such amazing quality items. I'm rethinking........thank you for posting
If their Halloween box would coordinate but not duplicate with this I might be in serious trouble! Love these colors!! Can’t wait to try to use the collage papers. I haven’t worked with collage before & really love the layering look on others’ journals.
STUNNING!!!!! This box is AMAZING, as soon as I saw this I ordered mine and less than 48 hours later it's already on it's way. ❤. I can't wait to get it in my grubby little hands. It may have set me right off on a dark academia obsession. 😂
I want the key/letter opener!!!!!! The mini library is cute as hell, so that would be fun. But the key is the thing I want! If anyone gets the sub box, and doesn't want theirs, I'm more than happy to have it😂😂!!
Oh wow, that A5 notebook! ❤ The collage paper, too, gives me too good to use vibes, what a dilemma! I would hang some on the wall in my desk area / library.
This looks so fun! You should do a themed video using this entire set! It would be cool, but this is only a suggestion. I'm doing my first-ever bujo for the rest of this year, and I have had ur videos playing in the bg for inspiration and advice. I haven't gone for perfection, but I am so happy with my journal and I use it daily without pressure. Thank you for your amazing work!
3:42 Whoa, I literally have that purple notebook with the white accents on the top tape in my bookcase. Like, the exact same detailing and color and everything. What a coincidence!!
Either the pocket notebooks or the metal tab bookmarks are my favorites. This one will be a hard decision for if I want to get it because I really do not need more notebooks.
Thanks for your walk through of everything - I was trying to decide if I wanted a sub box vs just order and being able to review to help determine was super helpful. So the sub boxes will be my holiday present this year...but he said I did have to wait for the December box so it was holiday timed (*wah*).
Do you have any of those wooden stir sticks for coffee or popsicle sticks (not sure what you call them in NZ - in the UK they are ice lollies)? They might be less risky for opening your smaller boxes. Thanks for the video. It always takes close to four weeks to get it here in Canada, and I am not a patient woman 😂.
Ooo that's a good idea! I don't have any myself, but certainly a good point. I'm thinking the letter opener from the box will come in handy for future packages 👌
I'm delaying my outing tomorrow to order this when it's available! OMG those notebooks! And the stickers are perfect for a theme I already had in mind.
Got my box last night and I loved the gel pens and the washi. The A5 notebook has such a Victorian/Gothic still life vibe, it'll go into the rotation to get used as my daily notebook (I use about two A5s per year ;) ) the little pocket sizes will line right up with the two from last fall - I use them as quote journals. And I think I'm going to use the stickers for my October reading journal cover pages and stats/reflections pages.
Thank you for the entertaining unboxing! I immediately ordered it. I have thought about it over & over since seeing your previous unboxings, but was either too skittish to spend the money, or too late to grab it. I’m excited to receive it! (Think I will open the letter opener first, to assist with the rest of the unboxing, so thanks for ‘taking one for the team’ there! 😁) ❤
I'm still in that state of "these are too pretty to use" with the pocket notebooks, but I'm hoping to turn them into something special one day. Previously I had a pocket size notebook as a self care journal though 💜
🤣I just laughed.😆🤣 When you were talking about using the letter opener to open boxes. Great minds think alike. I hope that gave you a good laugh. Christina 🦝
I love the dark academia theme! (Although I do agree that some items are more clutter than functionality) I actually appreciate that there are chess themes to it, it’s not something I see often in journaling sets
I would be interested to see what other people use those pocket notebooks for. The one I have from the last sub box I use to keep a list, but I would love more ideas if you have them!
I like this box, tho I maybe would have preferred the A5 without the art in the middle? I really dislike gel pens but you never know. Thanks for the review! At least I don't have to open the A5 if I would prefer to sell it or something.
Well I guess I have to get this one 😅 This feels like the moody continuation of last year's September sub box and I love it! I also love the pocket library most, those journals are so cute and I'm a sucker for notebooks that have this old book kind of design. Living in Germany will also let me use that letter opener very frequently - bills and stuff often still come via post 😂
The letter opener is absolutely amazing! That would be the perfect gift for someone who appreciates old school and has everything, i.e., my father (an impossible person to buy gifts for, he would love this…so would my sister, so would I!) I also thought that the books washi tape was lovely, and would love if they offered it in a variety of colorways in the future! Kraft paper notebook is a lot of fun. I did pass on this one as the colorways and style in general is not for me, everything is beautifully done. (The box in June was all of my dreams come true and I love every single part of it, so I appreciate that A&O gives the ‘sneak peek’ so you can pass if that quarter isn’t something you’d truly love! Plus, new planner season, and budget gone, so everyone who loves this, I’m glad someone will get the one I passed on, and enjoy it! A&O is really upping their subscription box game for sure.)
I agree, love that we get a "vibe check" before the box releases so people can decide if it's going to be for them, and I really liked the June one too! 💜
I gasped a couple times.. the letter opener and the floral notebook. No idea what I'm going to do with any of them though 😂 I did have to laugh when you were showing the key.."and then BAM!" Haha
Curious to see how the gel pens do with smear tests. I will definitely be cutting up the envelope of the sticker sheets to use the flowers in my journal. Also the one backward book on the sticker sheet might be a deal breaker for that one sticker lol. So excited to get the box!!
I ordered the same box, and now I'm so excited to get it. Thank you for doing the unboxing. Do you still play chess? It's one of the main reasons why I wanted that subscription box! Hugs and happy journaling!
Well I had almost talked myself out of it until I saw that key 🙃 Also the A5 notebook! Glad I didn't miss the new subscriber release! (Though my wallet is less glad...)
@@JashiiCorrin this comment was definitely supposed to be on today's video 😅 and to confirm, I mean the bujo you put your yearly spreads in and not your daily use one 🙈
This box is 50-50 keep and sell for me. I love the size of the pocket notebooks but I wish they were slimmer. It kinda defeats the point of a small size if it's so thick to be non-portable and makes it difficult for people to find a use for them. I always make a list from your videos of what I will keep vs sell so I don't open those. Thanks!
I cancelled my sub after the Dec 2023 box - mostly for financial reasons but I had reached a point that I just couldn't justify more journals. The way I GASPED at this box and immediately set myself an alarm so I could sub for this box the SECOND I could. I couldn't get home in time and pulled over into a parking lot 5 minutes before the alarm. I have never done anything like that before. The only item I don't particularly care about is the letter opener, only because I have a heavy brass vintage one I already use - but I think you're right and that it will make a nice decorative piece for my bookshelf.
I love the key letter opener 😊 .. I really like the little A6 notebooks, but I am disappointed in the kraft paper 😢 .. I'm not a fan of it! I really like the scrap paper, but they're almost too pretty to tear up 😅 .. My imagination is on overload now trying to figure out what to use each notebook for. Happy journaling, everyone!! ❤😊

When I tell you I have been stocking the website since the 1st... Thank you for the new subs date!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I just got my sub box on today’s release! ❤
So when is the deadline to get this? Do I have to get it by the 4th, or do I have until the next sub box releases?
@@indigoatelier5775 It's available now! 🙂
@@truthandvirtue yeah, but I don't get paid for two weeks... Can I wait a bit, or is now the deadline?

Oh cool use! I’ll have to see if these ones are magnetic 👀
@@JashiiCorrinYou have to MAKE them magnetic, with magnetic tape!
Awesome idea! 🥳
I love the key letter opener. I would tie a silk ribbon on it and hang it on a door knob.
Oh that'd be cute! 💜
When I saw the final journal my jaw dropped. It is truly the prettiest book I've seen in my life!
The small ones are gorgeous and LOVE the kraft paper. Great box.
i gasped so loud at the notebook :O
Haha hopefully a good gasp? 😝💜
@@JashiiCorrin the best one 😁😁😁
So did i!
I’ve been watching and watching and watching for this. You do the best spoilers ever. Thanks, Jess.
Most welcome! 😄 Glad you enjoy the reveal videos! 💜
Agreed!
THAT KEY!!!! 😍😍😍😍 Omg, that is beautiful!!!! So in love with it! Not to mention the whole vibe. Very dark, fairy tale..... Alice in Wonderland or Beauty and The Beast style.
The letter opener alone was worth the box this month. So glad I didn’t skip this one! A&O been knocking it out lately, very impressed with all items.
Nice 💪 Glad you like that one! I've got mine displayed on my shelf now 😈
@@JashiiCorrin I have the perfect spot for it…pretty sure my cat won’t be able to reach it…she likes to bite metal. She’s a bad girl.
Right? The letter opener has a very steampunk feel to it. ❤ I will take pleasure opening my junk mail from now on.
@@JashiiCorrin I already have a dark academia theme for my desk in my room. I got a bunch of light up bottles from last year's Target Dollar Spot Halloween selection and the letter opener will fit right in!
Maybe we need a penpal club to use our letter openers (and various other stationery supplies we are all hoarding) 😆😆
100% to use up the hoarded supplies, hahaha 😂💜
LOVE this idea!
This is actually a good idea!
True
Jess, could you do a monthly spread with these items? I’d love to see how you incorporate the collage paper and washi tape.
In theory could 🤔 Though I'm currently in the throws of setting up 100+ ideas for reading journal layouts which is taking a hot minute 😝💜
@@JashiiCorrin ooh. These would look great in a reading spread… 🤔

I did have to laugh when you were showing the key.."and then BAM!" Haha
Haha always handy to have a safety device in reach, yeah? 😝💜
@@JashiiCorrin for sure.. my weapon of choice has long been a letter opener, now I can disguise it as a key 😂
Cannot wait for my box to arrive!!!!
Glad you're excited for it! 💜
The regular sized notebook TOOK MY BREATH AWAY!!
Glad you liked it! 😄💜
Those washis are so gorgeous!!!
This reveal was super gorgeous. I knew dark academia would be amazing, but this is holy Hannah. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💯
Glad it speaks to you! 💜
Curious to see how the gel pens do with smear tests. I will definitely be cutting up the envelope of the sticker sheets to use the flowers in my journal. Also the one backward book on the sticker sheet might be a deal breaker for that one sticker lol. So excited to get the box!!
I had to go back and look at the sticker sheet again because I was like 👀!? Haha might need to do some sticker surgery on that one 😂
I like all of the books but that last one!😍✨
Haha glad that one spoke to you! 💪💜
Literally laughed out loud when you mentioned that the letter opener could be a weapon. 😂😂😂
A blunt weapon, but still a weapon! 😝💜
Most excited for the pocket notebooks!
They're so dang cute! 💜
When you mentioned the "white paper" and what you thought, I was: yup, that could have easily happened to me 😂
Haha glad I'm not alone in that 😂💜
So lovely!
I ordered the same box, and now I'm so excited to get it. Thank you for doing the unboxing. Do you still play chess? It's one of the main reasons why I wanted that subscription box! Hugs and happy journaling!
I really wish I had this box. Anyone know where I can get it? I quit getting the sub box and I'm slightly regretting it.
What's the price of that calender?
The Christmas advent calendar? $125
The subscription box is something like $75 I thiiiiiink 🤔
Well I had almost talked myself out of it until I saw that key 🙃 Also the A5 notebook! Glad I didn't miss the new subscriber release! (Though my wallet is less glad...)
The wallet woes are very relatable 😂💜
What size do you use for your annual journal?
A5 😊
@@JashiiCorrin this comment was definitely supposed to be on today's video 😅 and to confirm, I mean the bujo you put your yearly spreads in and not your daily use one 🙈
Haha answer still stands 👌 That's an A5 too 😛
The notebook wow so pretty!
Glad you like it! 💜😄
This box is 50-50 keep and sell for me. I love the size of the pocket notebooks but I wish they were slimmer. It kinda defeats the point of a small size if it's so thick to be non-portable and makes it difficult for people to find a use for them. I always make a list from your videos of what I will keep vs sell so I don't open those. Thanks!
I dont usualy like letter openers but that key one is cool
I cancelled my sub after the Dec 2023 box - mostly for financial reasons but I had reached a point that I just couldn't justify more journals. The way I GASPED at this box and immediately set myself an alarm so I could sub for this box the SECOND I could. I couldn't get home in time and pulled over into a parking lot 5 minutes before the alarm. I have never done anything like that before.
The only item I don't particularly care about is the letter opener, only because I have a heavy brass vintage one I already use - but I think you're right and that it will make a nice decorative piece for my bookshelf.
I don't think I can enter to win this but I loves it. And Im already a member. Love ya!
The bookmarks look like they could be useful as tabs in a document folder or similar!
For sure 👏 I liked the little icons on them 😄💜
That green note book is giving demon slayer vibes, especially the spine of that note book😊
I ❤ the floral!!!
Aww yay! I'm glad you like it 😄💜
I love the key letter opener 😊 .. I really like the little A6 notebooks, but I am disappointed in the kraft paper 😢 .. I'm not a fan of it! I really like the scrap paper, but they're almost too pretty to tear up 😅 .. My imagination is on overload now trying to figure out what to use each notebook for. Happy journaling, everyone!! ❤😊
The items are so beautiful
Glad you like them! 💪💜
😂😂😂 I did the same thing with the collage paper! “Just blank ??? Oh … otherside. 😮”
I put this quarter on pause and am bummed. Loved the letter opener and journals.
It’s still available if you want it! 💜
