Erin Condren: Unboxing

I love a good Erin Condren Haul and this week I took delivery of my latest Erin Condren parcel. You can see the video below, with more information underneath ๐Ÿ™‚

Erin Condren unboxing.

In my parcel I ordered a few bits and bobs:

The Seasonal Surprise Box had a few lovely bits in. I can’t link these items, as they’re either not available or not available yet, but I’ll list them anyway and pop a few photos below.

  • Notepad with stand up holder (Sneak peek)
  • Mid century circles tea towel (Exclusive)
  • Metallic rose gold garden cover (Exclusive)
  • Cupcake gifting set (Exclusive)
  • Holiday petite planner (Exclusive)
  • Seasonal sticker sheet duo (Exclusive)

My thoughts on the items

Lets start with the things that I actually chose for myself.

The Blossom covers are nice and simple. I tend to pick out covers that are either really bright and have a lot going on, or something super simple. This time I went for simple. When I popped them onto my planner both for this year and next years, they looked super fun.

I chose the customisable colour block hourly event stickers because there were none of the plain hourly stickers available and I am impatient and couldn’t be bothered to wait! These stickers have a large white section and the left edge has a colour block on it. I chose to customise mine with text and they look pretty good.

Like I said in my video above, my husband bought a PopSocket and I got jealous and bought myself one! I went with the Flower Power PopGrip as I like the pattern. It matches my planner cover for this year.


The Fall Seasonal Surprise Box items

The raspberry and vanilla metallic marker duo come a silvery white shade and the other in a pink shade. I don’t really have the need for metallic marker pens, so these are something that I probably wouldn’t buy for myself, however, I will use them. Probably for Christmas cards.

Next up is the rose gold metal asterisk pen holder clip. I usually buy the plastic stick-on pen holders, but as they are stick on, they’re not removable, so I’ve had to buy a few to accommodate the many planner covers that I have bought. I like the idea of one that I can move as I get new planner covers. The rose gold is very pretty and the asterisk is simple yet aesthetically pleasing to look at.

The notepad with stand up holder is a great design. It has spaces for each day of the week, as well as notes AND a pull off strip on the right hand side for to-do lists or whatever you might want to write down and take with you. The pad itself is replaceable.
What a great idea!

I love a good tea towel. So the mid century circles tea towel will make a lovely addition to my kitchen.
I like the colours of the printing and that it’s just nice and simple with just ‘the secret ingredient is love’.

The metallic rose gold garden cover is very pretty. It’s a light grey with the rose gold sort of foil look pattern of leaves and flowers. I will definitely use this in the summer months.
I quite like that the seasonal surprise box covers come with nothing written on the front.

I am planning to bake next weekend and use the cupcake gifting set to show off the goods! I like this idea, although I wouldn’t really buy something like this from Erin Condren, as I can get a plan, very basic version from the local supermarket for a lot less.
That said, I do really like this design and if I didn’t have to get it sent from America, I would buy it.

The holiday petite planner is not something that I would usually consider buying, as my holiday planning is haphazard at best. It’s a nice design though.
At the very front of the planner there are instructions on ‘how to use this petite planner’: Checking in, monthly planning, budget tracker, holiday card planning, gift list, wish list, and even a baking tracker!

I love planner stickers, but I’m quite particular about the styles that I will put into my planner. The seasonal sticker sheet duo comes with one sheet that I will use and another that I’m not sure I will. The sheet with rectangles and circles will totally work with my aesthetic, however, the sheet with pumpkins and words isn’t really my style.
