So I know there are thousands of subscription services out there and so many book or coffee themed ones; and though I’ve been wanting to try one for a while, I just couldn’t find the right fit. I wanted something at least a little personal and not a box in a “box” per-say 🙂 I found two that I was hopeful for, this is my unveiling of company number one Blue Spider’s Attic:
“The Magic of a Used Bookstore, Delivered.”
I am not a big fan of the name but I loved the concept of the company; used books, customized to you by taking a little questionnaire (about both coffee and books) choice of 1 or 3 books, fun themes! It feels personal and made me really excited for my box to come.
I was a little sad at first because my package was left in the rain and a few things got wet, but it did not ruin the overall excitement.
I do wish they would double package them though 😦
I love this quaint little sugar spoon!

A sample from this fun company that does soup themed from books and tea, great combo! This ones

I had not heard of this book so I was excited to have this book be my first unveiled. Had some water damage 😦 but it will survive!

Yay another treasure!
A cute little teacup necklace, LOVE it!
Well I must say that even despite the less than desirable name (I hate spiders,) and my first package arriving soaked and therefore getting one wet book, I still loved the experience. I thought the trinkety treasures were fun and relevant. I was also impressed with the books choices. Based on what I said I enjoyed it was spot on, general/historical fiction, Classic Literature, and Science Fiction/ Fantasy. It was also nice that the prices were really reasonable. Good Job Blue Spider Attic I will be giving you another try.
Have you every tried any relative subscription boxes? If so please
share about your experience!
