My thoughts:

 TUNNOCKS TEA CAKE! Yeah already ate that, haha. I will have to get another one [out of the cupboard] for when I read this book. It’s apparently a nod to the ‘winged heroine’ in the book! I look forward to finding out why.

Out of the Blue sounds interesting, fallen angels and it’s set in Scotland! I hadn’t heard of it before now – although it’s not surprising as I’ve stopped paying attention to books coming out due to not knowing what will be in my book boxes! I look forward to reading it!

The candle smells of Sandlewood and Patchouli and is lovely. I loved the idea behind the Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but I felt hat book 2 was just silly and I never finished it. I feel like I should give the candle to someone who would appreciate it more, but it smells good and it’s glittery and it’s mine so I probably wont!

I love the feather bookmark! I like bookmarks and feathers and I’ve even used feathers as bookmarks! It’s too pretty to loose – which is what happens to my bookmarks – so I will find something else to do with it.

I’m disappointed the Jace notebook has blank pages as I can’t write in a straight line without help – but the creator has something to do with sketchbooks so that makes more sense. It also makes sense that he’d be the one from Mortal Instruments in this box, but I can’t say why because spoilers.

I love Buffy! And I even remember the episode this quote is from – if not the name of it! I wasn’t sure why it was in a fallen angel box till I read the ‘unboxed’ card – “No one loves an Angel as much as our buddy Buffy.” Very clever Book Box Club. Still not a Buffy/Angel fan though. Loving her made Angel an arse.

And finally the Body Butter. I think this is my favourite item. It smells like freaking marzipan! I love that stuff.
