AUGUST OWLCRATE UNBOXING - STORM & SEAS

**A Review of Must Box: A Monthly Subscription Service**

As I unwrapped my latest delivery from Must Box, a monthly subscription service that sends a curated box of goodies to book lovers, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. The box was designed around the theme of "fear" and promised to deliver a unique experience with each shipment.

The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful wooden bookmark that came packaged with my Must Box. Designed by Juniper and Ivy, this bookmark is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as a reminder to take time to appreciate the little things in life. I love the design of the bookmark, which features a lighthouse-inspired motif, complete with intricate details and a tassel. The quality of the bookmark is exceptional, and I can already imagine it becoming a staple in my reading routine.

As I flipped through the pages of the book that came with my Must Box, "House of Salt and Sorrows" by Aaron Coghan, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. This retelling of the classic fairy tale about the Twelve Dancing Princesses promises to deliver a rich and immersive experience, complete with magic, mystery, and a hint of the macabre. The cover art is stunning, featuring a beautiful illustration of a mermaid surrounded by seaweed and shells. I'm intrigued by the promise of this book and am eager to dive in.

The box also included a selection of teas, which I must admit didn't quite live up to my expectations. As someone who doesn't typically enjoy tea, I was excited to try something new and exotic. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that these teas were not as unique or exotic as I had hoped. That being said, the packaging itself is lovely, with a beautiful lantern design that adds a touch of elegance to my reading space.

The rest of the box was filled with items that I couldn't wait to try out. A beautifully designed pencil case in the shape of a mermaid's tail caught my eye immediately, and I knew it would be put to good use as soon as possible. The set of coasters, complete with shells and sea-inspired designs, added a touch of whimsy to my reading nook.

As I continued to unpack my Must Box, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the creativity and attention to detail that goes into each shipment. From the beautifully designed wooden bookmark to the thoughtfully curated selection of teas, every item in this box feels like it was carefully considered to enhance my reading experience. Whether or not you're a fan of tea is beside the point – the packaging alone makes this box feel special.

One thing I will be giving away on my Instagram account is one of the duplicate copies of "House of Salt and Sorrows" because who wouldn't want to win a copy of that book? If you'd like to check out Must Box for yourself, be sure to use my coupon code in the links below.
