Breakfast at Tiffany's Notebooks (Set of 3)


Breakfast at Tiffany's Notebooks (Set of 3)

£9.99

Inspired by the beloved character Holly Golightly from the classic film,Breakfast at Tiffany’s, this stylish set of three paperback notebooks is perfect for tossing in your bag, making lists and dashing down thoughts on the fly. Each notebook cover features different illustrations of the movie’s most popular icons: Holly’s sequined sleep mask, her cat eye sunglasses, her lipstick, and more. The set includes two larger notebooks, one lined and the other blank, and a small notebook with a graph paper interior.

What I think: 

I love stationary, who doesn't? When I was offered the chance to review this beautiful note set I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. 

When these arrived they were absolutely beautiful, I really like the fact that these come in different sizes. My favourite notepad is the blue one with the iconic eye mask on. This is really well made with cotton holding the pages together. This is the perfect size to fit in your handbag and keep lists of shopping in. 

This is a wonderful set to give someone for a birthday or just because you want to. I am so pleased I have been able to try these out and I have been really impressed. These are great for stationary loved and for those who love Breakfast at Tiffany's. 

Although these are a little pricey as they are not that thick, I think they would make a great gift and I would purchase these for a friend. 

I would like to thank Abrahams and Chronicles for sending this in exchange for an honest review.

#paperhaul subscription box review

Today is a slightly different review, I have been very lucky to be able to get hold of #paperhaul subscription box and I have reviewed this for you. 

#Paperhaul is a monthly subscription box from craftycreatives, which is designed for lovers of all kinds of paper and snail mail. This subscription box is £10 a month (plus postage), Crafty Creatives will send you a lovely box full of awesome paper and paper products, such as cards, postcards, stickers, and craft papers. Each month they have a different theme – February box's theme was dorkface.  

I have reviewed a few subscription boxes in the past including a book themed one and beauty boxes. I was over the moon when this arrived on my doorstep, I love sending cards and letters so this seemed ideal for me. When you purchase these boxes you are also donating to charity- postpals, which is a really lovely gesture. 

So lets see what is in the box...



3x small note cards with envelopes 
1x blank note book
3x small gift tags
1x dork face tape
2x postcards 
1x large greeting card

The postcards, gift tags, note cards and greetings cards are all made from thick, high quality card, the envelopes are also wonderful quality. The double sided craft paper is also very high quality, and has a lovely texture to it. The dork face tape is lovely, I have never had a roll of it before and I am looking forward to using it. 





This is the dork face tape, it is so cute and I can't wait to get started with using this. It is going to be perfect for adding to envelopes and parcels. I am not sure how much is on the roll but I think it will last quite a while as I will only be using a little bit. 










These are the two post cards which came in the box this month, I love them so much. They are made from high quality card and on the back there is the #paperhaul info along with the theme for this month - dork face. I particularly love the quotes on the front. I can't wait to use these. 







This is the blank note book along with the three gift tags. I love the little note book, it could be used for keeping notes or I'll probably be using it to keep little sketches and drawings in. The gift tags are so sweet and are going to be perfect for adding to small gifts. 









These are the 3 little note cards, they are made again of high quality card, like the other contents in this box. They are a prefect size for sending a little 'happymail' or a thank you note. I am so pleased they come with the envelopes too. I am looking forward to using them. 











The final thing in the box this month is a larger greeting card, once again it is made from high quality card and paper. The edging is really unique as the corners are rounded. I am really going to enjoy writing in this. I think that whoever I send this to is going to love to receive it. 




Crafty Creatives also do other subscription boxes, Crafty Creatives which is a way to learn new crafts or rediscover old ones: these boxes contain everything to make a whole project, this sounds amazing and I think this would be a great box to get. The other subscription box they do is #beadhaul - this is another box that sounds amazing, in here they are themed boxes full of beads, charms and pendants, for all levels of keen jewellery makers. Again this is another box I think I would like to try and one day when I have a little bit more spare time, maybe one I will try. 

I would like to thank Crafty Creatives sent me this #Paperhaul box free of charge for review purposes.
