OCTOBER OWLCRATE UNBOXING _ Find Me in the Forest

**Unboxing the Autumn Owl Crate: A Magical Experience**

As I unwrapped the Autumn Owl Crate from Alec Rate, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The box was carefully curated to evoke the feeling of a cozy autumnal afternoon, complete with a warm cup of tea, a good book, and a few delightful surprises.

The first item that caught my eye was the tea itself, which came in a beautifully designed mug featuring Sherwood Forest, Earl Grey, and sweet blueberry flavors. I couldn't help but think of Robin Hood, the legendary outlaw who made his home in the forest. The packaging was thoughtful and immersive, making me feel like I was stepping into a rustic English setting. As I poured myself a cup of tea, I felt like curling up with a good book on a rainy fall day.

Next to the tea was a coaster with a design that reminded me of Mac's from one of the Wild Things, although it was actually inspired by Audra Oh Claire's art piece featuring sand from Princess Mononoke. The message "Be Kind to this Planet we call Home" resonated deeply with me, and I appreciated the thoughtfulness behind including this print in the box.

The final item was a beautiful book, wrapped in a dark binding and adorned with an exclusive cover that looked stunning on its own. Unfortunately, I had read the book before and didn't enjoy it as much as I had expected from the rave reviews. The author's signed bookplate was a lovely touch, and I appreciated the inclusion of a few seeds, which were revealed to be forget-me-nots, a nod to the story.

As I delved deeper into the box, I found a newsletter with an interview-style feature on one of the books, as well as information about the magazine's subscription service. The publisher also included some exclusive content, including a print that showcased the original cover art alongside the new design.

The Autumn Owl Crate was more than just a monthly delivery of books and trinkets; it was an immersive experience designed to transport me to a world of wonder and enchantment. From the carefully selected items to the thoughtfully designed packaging, every detail seemed to be aimed at creating a sense of magic and coziness. I left my tea cup empty but feeling full of joy, knowing that this box had been a true treat.

**Upcoming November Box: Castles, Courts, and Kingdoms**

As I eagerly await the next Owl Crate, I couldn't help but feel excited about the upcoming theme: Castles, Courts, and Kingdoms. I've heard whispers that the books will be fantasy-oriented, with royalty as a central theme – music to my ears! The thought of reading about magical realms, mythical creatures, and regal adventures has me salivating.
