I don't normally do features like this, but thought this was a really unique release and so thought I would show you it & give you my thoughts.
Liana Marcel is a brand that hand crafts unique items from fridge magnets to earrings and even lip balms. Normally, I'm not all that into handmade items because invariably, they look 'hand made' but actually, this subscription box from Liana Marcel is actually quite charming and kitsch without looking amateur.
When I opened the box I was greeted with tissue lined products in organza bags and this opening message from Liana Marcel which explained everything in the box (which was great because y'all know I'm not the brightest...)
Inside the box is a number of different things which range from beauty to jewelry and even stationary. I am obsessed with stationary and so this little 'You're one in a melon!' pad was right up my street and the bendy pencil (which I initially thought was a rubber - again, not too bright) is actually a flexible pencil!
I also received a selection of fashion items which included a little keyring which has sunglasses on it, a daisy brooch/pin, hair bows and my favorite item of the WHOLE box, the little daisy earrings which are just small and cute. Think delicate jewelry rather than costume jewelry...
I also received a little bracelet, a fridge magnet and a bejazzled lip balm which smells amazing. I'm not really into being in the garden (dirty nails ugh!) but I am trying my best to get more fresh air and exercise so looking after these little sunflowers will definitely keep me going. Also included were some crafty bits including little scrapbook decorations and a postcard that can be coloured in.Finally were a couple of culinary bits which include a paper straw and a strawberry oatmeal breakfast smoothie recipe card - that was a bit of a mouthful - but I am going to collect the recipe cards from any future boxes and use them in a scrapbook full of recipe's (and my little cut outs which were included!).
How amazing is this box!? I am majorly impressed with the talent that was required to make all of this and the finishing touches with the logo etc shows this is a real, professional business.
The boxes are available monthly at Liana Marcel and cost just £20.
If you have any questions about the boxes, feel free to let me know and I will get in touch with them :D
Are you a handmade kitschy lover? I am slowly being persuaded...
