Spotlight Stationery - July 2018

          July’s box from Spotlight Stationery is themed “Eden”. The box contains a stationery collection compiled around the new journals from Castilli. As usual, the purchase price of each box includes a donation to From Me To You, a charity that encourages people to write letters to cancer patient. 

          The first thing that caught my eye was the journal but I wanted to see the post cards first. 

          Now to the gorgeous journal, apparently it was the Eden line and at the time to box was sent out it wasn’t even on their website yet. It comes with a pencil as well. Just look at how beautiful it is!!!

          I love me some pens and this box has some good ones. The first is the Zebra Telescopic Stylus and it’s two refills, and the second is the Paper Mate Inkjoy which I love to write with because it is so smooth. Finally, the pencil, which is a Greengraph HB pencil from Stabilo. 

          Finally, the postcard included is as distinctive as the cover of the Eden journal and just as beautiful. 

         I’m always amazed by how Spotlight Stationery always manages to have amazing stuff in their boxes at a certain high quality level. They never disappoint.

          

Spotlight Stationery -June 2018

The theme for this box is “All That Glitters” and the box insides looked all goldy...

I’m going to start with the personalized envelope and the pretty postcards inside. I’m loving the simple yet beautiful art on these postcards.

         
This box has two beautiful notebooks, the first is by Spotlight Stationery and is a pocket notebook.

       
 The second notebook is a Ventaglio Rosso “Flexis”. 

       
I love me some washi tape and this one is really cute.

       
Finally a batch of pens, a pencil, and some cute paper clips.



As usual, the price of this box includes a donation to From Me To You , a charity which encourages people to write letters to cancer patients. I'm loving the feel of the notebooks and using the pens well.

          I guess I've skipped doing unboxing for a bit, but that is because I'm currently working on a project that is close to my heart. I will tell you about it later...now it is time for my awesome subscription box from Spotlight Stationery. The theme for this box is Cartoleria: Beautiful stationery from Italy. As always the purchase price of this box includes a donation to a charity and this time it is to From Me To You, a charity that encourages people to write letters to Cancer patients.

          As soon as I opened the pretty heavy box I realized why it was so heavy...but I am getting ahead of myself. The first thing I always look for in the box is the envelop that has my name on it. I always know I'm going to find some awesome artwork/postcards. The information about the artists is in the card below, please check them out.

           The Legami pocket notebook is really cute. It has 80 pages of 100gsm lined paper. I've yet to try but I think it might be suitable for fountain pen use.

          The box also included some interesting pens from Castelli and on multiple-colored pencil from Legami, which I can't wait to try out.

          Finally, the reason why the box felt so heavy. A beautiful journal with ruled, plain and squared paper. Some of the papers are detachable, plus there is a ruler bookmark included. Also it just might be fountain pen friendly but it needs to be tested.

          As usual Spotlight Stationery have gone above and beyond with what they have included in their box, plus the quality is amazing as usual. VERY please with my box...again as usual 😜

          I don't think I laughed as hard as this when reading any note card from a subscription box before; however, as soon as I read the theme from this box of Spotlight Stationery I burst out laughing. It tickled my weird sense of humor. The theme was "From the Sea: Stationery for foodies!" Even before I really looked at what was inside the box I was wondering how they were going to pull that off and they did not disappoint!

          The personalized envelope with the beautiful post cards came first. These featured interesting pieces of art work from illustrators as usual but I'm not sure that they really fit in with the theme of the box. I still enjoyed them very much though so no worries!

          The next thing that caught my eye is the pens and pencil. You know me, I love pens and pencils. I can never have enough of those. There was a Blackwing pencil in pearl color so I guess that is the bit that had to do with the sea lol. Here is the thing, I've been meaning to buy one of these pencils and now I don't have too!!!!!

          Next up are the cards. Both had lots of sea life on them and yes! I started to feel a craving for some fish 😜

          There was one final goody in the box and that is a notebook from Poach My Lobster. It has a...you guessed it, lobster on the top and it is in a pretty color that I like. It will be used with relish!

          As usual the curators of the Spotlight Stationery box have done a great job with their selection of items...some may not have exactly fit in with the theme of the box but most did and all the items in the box were something that I would not hesitate to use.

          The theme for this box is Bright! The purchase price of this starionery box includes a donation to From Me To You, a charity which encourages people to write letters to cancer patients. 

          A collaboration between Craig from DarkStar and Spotlight Stationery resulted in these beautiful  handmade pocket notebooks, the last ones he will make. 

          I love post its, and the ones from SemiKolon are the best. 

   Every box from Spotlight Stationery contains pens and this one is no exception. I openned the box in front of my friend and she took them all!!!

          A pair of clips from Rapesco are also included in this box. 

          Finally, four post cards with beautiful drawings in a personalized envelope.

          I’ve been catching glimpses of this box for a bit now and couldn’t wait to get for it to come. It was like it was made for me when it came. It had two of my favorite things in the world. The theme of the box is “What’s Your Story?” 

      

The first thing that pops out at you is a beautiful journal. It is a reproduction of covers from classic literature. 

The next thing that caught my eye were the pencils. Each one has an opening line from a novel.

The pens are just awesome, the color of each pen matches the color of the ink inside and two of the pens are fountain pens by Zebra.

Finally, there was a beautiful bookmark of Alice in Wonderland, specifically the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party scene.

I don’t think I’ve ever not liked a box by Spotlight Stationery, this one is kind of special though because of the beautiful journal and the fountain pens. I think I’m always going to love whatever Spotlight Stationery offers.

          Hey everyone! I’m back today with a brand new box from my Spotlight Stationery subscription. It is their second anniversary and their 25th box. Before I go on let me put in some information about the subscription. The purchase price of this stationery box includes a donation to From Me To You  a charity which encourages people to write letters to cancer patients. 

          Now back to the box. The theme for this anniversary box is Silver. It is a complete box of things to write in, to write with and to send out in. You’ll see what I mean in a second.

          I’m always excited to look at the personalized envelope included in every box because the postcards inside always have beautiful and inspiring art. This envelope was no different. My favorites would have to be...all of them. Don’t make me choose!

          I want to start small then build up so the first things I want to show you are the cute tiny silver tipped eraser, the four silver binder clips and the beautiful silver washi-tape.

          Now that we are done with the accessories the next things I want to show you are 4 silver C7 envelopes with butterfly fastenings. The material that the envelopes are made from is almost cardstock quality and the texture of each one is amazing.

          Next up comes the writing instruments. In the box there was 4 writing tools: 3 pens and a pencil. The pencil is a silver Progresso woodless from Koh I Noor Hardmuth. There is a silver-inked Pilot G-1 gel pen and finally two silver-barrelled Staedtler Triplus Fineliners: one in blue and one in red.

          Finally, the beauty in the box. A silver Leuchtturm 1917 special edition silver metallic covered notebook from their 100 year celebration. That means I got both the Gold and the Silver from different boxes (stoked!).

Isn’t it pretty?!

As usual, Spotlight Stationery delivers bangs for the bucks, and while the main theme is silver the underlying thread that ties the things in the box to the charity chosen for this box is writing. Very clever and well done.
