Glitter box!

If there is one thing I am a bit of a sucker for, it is one of those Lucky Dip boxes where you get some mystery items, usually significantly cheaper than the items would usually be. I tend to buy one when I am feeling a bit gloomy. Bad... But I saw someone share the Glitter Lucky Dip box they bought from Gloriously Glittery on Etsy and I went to take a look, loved the individual items and well, when I saw there was one Lucky Dip box for £5 (and free postage) with 8 items included- well, I was willing to give it a punt!

Soo... what did I receive?

 There were 3 gorgeous brooches in there.
A glittery Flamingo, a golden teapot and a deer.

 Next were two pairs of really pretty geometric glitter earrings- gold pentagons and gold-tipped flue triangles which convey a mountain vibe. Plus some sort of Eye-liner thingies...

There were two cute little woven bracelets, one with a Fleur-de-Lys charm hanging and then a darling pineapple necklace.

Every item came in either a pretty organza bag or a charming patterned paper bag. The whole parcel came in a good strong cardboard box.

There was a beautiful little card addressed to me saying thank you for my order.

I really like the items and it was a huge bargain for £5 in total!
I've got my eye on the beautiful rainbow and cloud brooch.

Go and have a look- her prices are really reasonable!

How do you feel about Lucky dip boxes? Are you a sucker for them like me!?

Fable and Black lucky dip box

I cannot resist a good lucky dip box!! I've bought them from Punkypins, Goodnight Boutique, Ladybird Likes and I've always found them really great value.  

I was looking on Etsy recently and I discovered Fable and Black who make wonderful contemporary-looking book-themed badges, brooches, cards, tote-bags, jewellery and prints. 

 They have Lucky Dip boxes which cost either £10 (for £20 worth of products) or £20 for £40 worth of products. I decided to give one of them a go and ordered.  The postage was free so it seemed a fun idea.

 When it turned up,I was super excited to open it!

 The Drink tea and Read Books is right up my street and I LOVE the Sherlock Quote 'I'm a high functioning Sociopath'.  The 'I'd rather be a mermaid' keyring  is not so much me but it is still nice!

 The next item was a book locket ring. It is very pretty even though it got a little squashed in transit.  I'm not really a ring wearer so I won't be wearing it but it is still sweet!

 Two cards with the same Tea quote and a Tolkein quote card look decently made and very bright and fun fonts.

 The C.S. Lews book marks suits me down to a tee. The little mini print is sweet.

Finally,the last item was a Tolkein quote note book. 

All the items were well made and robust with good quality materials. I'd consider buying one of these for a book-loving friend!  All in all, it was quite good value.

If you wanted to buy one, get in there quick because Fable and Black are giving you 25% off everything until the end of April (I think) with the code BDSale as it is their birthday month!!!

With the Lucky dip box being £10 normally, it's an absolute bargain at £7.50 AND free postage!!
