Wilde House Paper Stationery Subscription Unboxing - August 2019

 

Wilde House Paper is a trendy, Californian based stationery brand which verges on the hipster aesthetic (but in a good way).  Back in August 2019 they launched a quarterly stationery subscription box, which was unfortunately short lived.  

However, I nabbed a box - and as you know I love stationery and I particularly like reviewing stationery subscription boxes.  If you would like to see all of my reviews and unboxings in one place you can see them here. 

I was excited about this box as it promised a curated box on the intersection of art and stationery.  It was quite expensive (over $200 for the annual subscription I believe, which was refunded once they decided to leave the subscription model).  And as an additional pain/expense I was hit with customs! 

I did like what was included in this debut box: 

My favourite item was this weekly desk pad planner, made of recycled paper and with a gorgeous gold embossing of the text.  I like how it's quite compact and little, but with a good layout. 

Also included was a "Wellness Journal" - this is where the hipster element comes in a bit - but I don't mind it.  It is a nice notebook with a couple of unobtrusive wellness prompts and it looks handstitched as well. 

The big ticket item in the box - and the "art" element - was this piece of bold line art.  Which is quite pleasing, although it's disappointing it isn't signed or marked in anyway as I could whip one up myself!  I'm planning on framing this and hanging it in the office or bathroom. 

The final item was some greeting cards, again these are excellent quality.  I liked the design and the texture is lovely.  I always use up cards so I like having something a little special and different in the stationery cupboard! 

I really liked how you got substantial, decent standalone items opposed to a million post-it notes or similar! 

Overall, the contents of the box were really quite nice albeit at a higher price point.  If you would like to see me unboxing them in full you can check out my YouTube video here.
