Review : Zenpop Stationery Pack – April 2019 ( Sakura Pack )

Cherry blossoms are a big symbol of spring Known as “sakura” in Japanese, these pale blooms are a symbol of more than just spring they stand for renewal and hope. Zenpop’s April Stationery Pack is all about sakura. Lets get into it.

Zenpop Stationery Pack includes 10 or more unique items from Japan, which comprises of stickers , washi tapes, writing utensils, sticky notes, notebooks and other accessories. This pack is available for one time purchases, and subscription plans also available. Zenpop provides Free International Shipping to most countries.

My Thoughts:

Lets start with the packaging…

Packaging:

I must mention here that zenpop has put their effort in the packaging. The box is made out of a sturdy cardboard with a solid fun and bright coloured printing on it which is simple yet loud. The contents of the box are enclosed in a tissue paper to hold it in a place.

A beautiful thankyou note with a discount code for next order, and a pamphlet for all the details and description of the items included in a pack, plus a little japanese vocabulary that is fruits names , which needs to be mark 10/10.

Flat Clips

As many of my readers already know that i love pastels, zenpop has won my heart by adding these pastel paper clips in the pack. There are 16 clips included in a pack with four different colour combinations. These clips can be use as a page marker too.

Bento Stick Markers

For those who dont know, bento is a traditional japanese lunch consisting of rice balls, barans etc. These stick markers are inspired by bento. These sticky notes are so convenient to carry in a pencil case or inside a pocket of your journal.

Washi Tapes (Golden Sakura, Night Sakura)

Here goes my most favourite items of the box that is the sakura washi tapes. They have included two variants, golden sakura and night sakura. The golden sakura is one of the new launch of BGM. It is beautifully foiled with gold printing. While the night sakura or Yozakura which means night cherry blossom is just so aesthetic. The illuminated sakura flowers on a dark background makes this washi tape a 3d product.

Yuzen Cherry Blossom Stickers

I love stickers in general, but have you heard about the washi stickers? Yes you heard it right! These are no ordinary but washi stickers that are dyed by japanese craftsmen, these are shaped in sakura, but the patterns are traditional japanese designs. Litterally likr the kimonos or those japanese lanterns we ve been watching in movies.

Sakura Standing Sticky Notes

After all the stickers and washi tapes, to complete the collection they have added these super cute sakura sticky notes that can be stand on your desk.

Sakurasaku Cherry Blossom Pencil

A very unique and i bet you ve never seen a pencil like this before, atleast i didnt. So this pencil is carved in sakura flower shape. And they said if you carefully carved out the shavings with blade it will comes out in the shape of sakura petal. Isnt it amazing? Japan has taken the stationery to the next level for sure.

Harapeko Obento Stickers

Just as we discussed earlier about bento, these stickers are inspired by the bento too. Harapeko means very hungry in japanese while obento is a lunch. These stickers go perfect with my bullet journal spread.

Writing Utensils

There are two writing utensils included in april’s pack.

Zebra Sarasa Vintage Ink Color

Zebra always comes out with the best clip pens, this time they have launched 5 new colours in clips. I got the most beautiful bordeaux purple. The pen is inky and pigmented. Loved the smooth writing.

Zebra Sarasa Marble Color

This pen is matched with the paper clips in the pack. Rainbow pens are very much in trend these days which changes the colour as you write. This is also one of their new launch.

Pricing:

Zenpop stationery pack retails around $29.50 which is approximately 3400 PKR. If you subscribe for 3 months you ll save $4.50 and if you subscribe for 6 months you ll save $12.00. Steal the deal and Enjoy!

My thoughts :

Keeping the old tradition alive, lets start with the packaging.

Packaging :

The contents came in a beautiful purple hard cardboard box. It was in one solid colour yet very impressive and simple. Once i open the box, the contents card was included with all the details. I really liked the fact that despite being included the glass bottles, the package came perfectly fine with no leakage or broken products.

Daily Gratitude Journal

This is my most favourite item of the box. Those who are following me on My Instagram knows very well that how much i love journaling. Gratitude, possitive affirmations or simply a book keeping are my things. The journal included a page for everyday to write your grateful thoughts. It really helped me to reflect on my soul. It is designed by Carrie Elle.

Comfort Essential Oil

Essential oils are great if we incorporate it in our daily routine by any means. They have included the comfort essential oil By Bombay And Cedar which possess all the calming and relaxing qualities of peppermint, lavender, rosemary and many more beneficial oils. I just loved the way it works with my diffuser.

Citrus Eucalyptus Yoga Mat Cleaner

I just loved the smell of this spray from Mystic Ginger Apothecary added for disinfecting your yoga matt with all the aromatic scents of ginger, grapefruit and lime essential oils. It is safe to use on skin or as a scent around you. I took it to the gym and everyone was complementing about how my yoga matt smells.

Headband

No doubt yoga or meditation is one simple thing to practice but it is always fun to spice it up with a little bit of accessory. I m obsessed wearing headbands at the gym. Totally in love with this soft headband by Treadband in the box.

Calm Whipped Butter

Just as the name sounds it is literally a whipped butter in a pot. The texture is buttery like i swear. It will not be lie if i call it the softest body butter ever. It is from Butter Depot. All the nice ingredients nourish and moisturize the skin amazingly. It is completely a vegan product.

Healing Amethyst Hoop Earrings

The bonus gift in the gratitude box are these amethyst healing earrings. These beads are so calming to look at and i like wearings hoops too. So thats the added bonus for me. 😊

Harry Collection Memo Notepad

This magnetic notepad has all of my attention in this month’s stationery pack. It is filled with sequences which makes everything looked so much kawaii and sparkly. I loved the fact that instead of having lined or blank pages it has a grid layout. You can easily throw it in a handbag on the go.




HedgeHog Stickers

Who doesnt love foiled stickers? And especially when it has a hedgehog touch to it. Cute little hedgehogs with foil printed 3d stickers cannot get any cuter. I loved how the little stickers are shining on the card, will look beautiful in my bullet journal for sure!

Garden Time To do List

For a planning geek like me, to do list pads are something i always want on the go. Honestly, i can claim myself as the biggest to do list maker.🤣 Even when i am travelling i make sure that i got a pocket notebook with me. But i am now going to ditch my pocket size notebook for the sake of these travel friendly to do list pad.

Midnight Sticky Memo

This is my most favourite item of this months pack. I am just obsessed, and i think this is the first black memo pad that i own and even that i ve seen so far. Little bunch of stars are adding such an aesthetic vibes to these sticky memo pad. I am so excited to use my sakura jelly roll on it.

I always look forward to the letter sets in zenpop’s stationery pack as they added a variety and style always. This time got this cute little hedgehog mini letter set which has four envelopes and letter papers. With mini hedgehogs printed on the surface.

HedgeHog And Apple Paperclips

Yes, again! Zenpop added the most unique and fun paperclips this time. I loved the bunny paperclips in november pack but now even loving these hedgehog ones more. It has two designs in a pack that is hedgehog and apple.

Rolling Eraser

Each month in zenpop’s stationery pack there is always something new to discover. Despite being the stationery blogger, i always got to know something unique and it is the bliss of exploring new items each month. This rolling eraser can not easily erase your mistakes but also wipes away the mess it creates.

Writing Utensils

In february’s pack, there are three writing utensils which are : 

Artline Blox Drawing Pen

I m just in love with the snowman drawing pens, i will compare the artline blox as a dupe for snowman. It is just as perfect. The nib was rigid yet the drawing is smooth.

Artline Blox Mechanical Pencil

The packaging of the blox pens are remarkable. These pens are one of its kind. I also got artline blox mechanical pencil in yellow and red. The writing was way more smoother than any regular mechanical pencil. There is a quality!

Zebra Sarasa Gel Pen Milky Color

Gel pens are my favourite kind of pens. I got the zebra gel pen in baby pink colour. The ink is very pigmented and did not bleed at all. Totally loved it.

I must mention here that zenpop has put their effort in the packaging. The box is made out of a sturdy cardboard with a solid fun and bright coloured printing on it which is simple yet loud. The contents of the box are enclosed in a tissue paper to hold it in a place.

Review : My Bungu Box 

Interested in getting stationery that has an artist’s flair without the designer stationery prices? This box is in collaboration with designer and crafter ViVi from Misato. Keep Reading!

About My bungu Box : 

My Bungu Box started by a Tokyo-based Scot obsessed with good design, geometric patterns and collecting great stationery products. The Bungo Boxes contain Kuv’s (Curator) personal recommendation of stationery products.

Some of the boxes contain an element of collaboration with some fantastically talented, Japan-related artists and designers. My Bungu Box contains a selection of some of the best Japanese stationery, from erasable pens to beautifully patterned washi tape, every box is a surprise!

My Thoughts : 

I have a lot to say about the bungu box, but we ll look into each item one by one. So lets start with the packaging followed by the contents of the box.

Packaging : 

When it comes to subscription boxes, the packaging is equally important as the contents of the box. I had high expectations and my bungu box did not disappoint me. I just loved the way it came in a sleek cardboard packaging, as soon as you opened it, it has this beautiful printed tissue paper, with the content card and some stickers on it. The packaging was simple yet very impressive.

Hanabishi Washi Tape

Every stationery lover can relate that we cannot have enough washi tapes in our collection. No doubt, none of any subscription boxes are complete without a washi in it. My bungu box contained hanabishi washi tape. Hanabishi is basically a japanese traditional pattern. This is one of its kind of a washi tape.

Kimono Cards 

The moment i call japan in my mind it reminds me of kimonos, by watching all these japanese movies and documentaries. Few letter cards have been added in the box which once again represent the traditional japanese pattern. 

Classic Gold Paperclips

This is by far my most favourite item in the box. These paperclips are so aesthetic and classy that i can stare these all day long. The shape and the classic gold colour makes an ordinary paperclip more classy and sleek. The shape is not so common, resembled a little bit with the pattern on kimono cards.

Hb Mono Tombow Pencils

Who doesnt heard of tombow dual pens? Its on my wishlist and want to get my hands on it. Meanwhile i got a grip on tombow HB Mono Pencils. Thanks to kuv for adding these in a box. A pack of 2 pencils have been added for drafting notes.

Sticky Memo

I personally love anything that has a grid pattern on it. Especially when it comes to stationery. A really pretty sticky memo with a grid on it has been added. I think this is by far the most classy sticky memo i have in my collection.

Washi Tape Cutter 

Honestly speaking, i did not know that a washi tape cutter existed even. Until i got my hands on my bungu box. Japanese stationery never fails to surprise us with its creative ideas. I have 500+ washi tapes but never a washi cutter. This little cutter is so useful yet very easy to carry in your pencil case. This is definitely more lovable by me than my washis.

Pentel X Trade Mark Pen

According to the people at my bungu box , this pen is limited edition as it was a collaboration between a well know brand pentel and one of the largest japanese stationery suppliers MDS , and it cannot be available outside asia. The pen is super smooth in writing glides on really well on almost every kind of paper.

Logical Plastic Eraser

Just like many other items in the box , last but not the least, this logical plastic eraser by nakabayashi has two sides to it that is soft and hard, to remove dark and heavy pencil marks.

Rating : 

5/5

In A Nut Shell : 

If you want to get your hands on the classic, unique stationery, and want to discover unique items every month than this box is a must have for you.

I will 100% recommend this to every stationery lover.

My Thoughts:

We ll look into each item separately, so here we go : 

Sparkle Poo Stickers

I havent imagined ever that a poo inspired thing can be my favourite. These poo shaped glitter stickers are not only the cutest stickers but they actually smelled like peaches or fruits. At one glance to these stickers , i knew i will be creating a bullet journal spread with these for sure.

Sailor Moon Washi Tape

Everyone is familiar with sailor moon, as it is one of the most popular anime in the world. As it has completed its 25 years, this month zenpop has included sailor moon washi tape in the box. A stationery lover cannot have enough washi tapes. And I loved anything with a sailor moon on it. And it is a little new edition in my collection. 

Magic Universe Stickers

This is my most favourite item in the box this month. Such delicate sticker sheets with pink and pastels colour theme , foiled with gold on the edges are everything. Cute lille unicorn are giving me some major goals to create a galaxy inspired spread with it.

Collection Notebook

I have 500+ notebooks literally, but this is the only one of its kind. I am glad that i have something unique in my collection. This is not your ordinary notebook but a place to collect your stickers, or everything you love. I use it to collect my washis just to swatch some. So that i know which designs i have at the moment.

Photo Decoration Cards

As the whole box theme is pastels, a set of 8 photo frames are included which are lightweight yet classy at the same time. For the year 2019, i decided to create a memory spread in my bullet journal where i will paste the photos related to each month as a memory. I will be using these as a frames for my photos.


Sanrio Correction Tape

I cannot emphasize enough, how thankful i am for the invention of correction tapes. And even thanking more to the zenpop for including it in this months pack. But the cherry on top is that they included either a hello kitty or my melody. Decorated with glitter, a lot of glitter actually. I got it in the hello kitty version.

Dreamy Cats Clear File

Being a cat owner, i am obsessed with cats or anything with a cat on it. In this months pack, i got a cute little A6 File with some pictures of cats showing their mysterious lives. It is perfect to fit in your handcarry to put all your reciepts and stuff in it.

Writing Utensils : 

There were alltogether three writing utensils included. Lets see each of them one by one :

Sakura Deco Cute Metallic Photo Marker

This metallic pen from sakura can be used on any surface. Metallics are always so classy and smooth to work with, i got it in the shade pink.

Coloree Mechanical Pencil

Another mechanical pencil from the brand “Kokuyo” is included. I got it in the pastel lavender coloured. For some reasons i am so much into the colour lavender these days, so seeing this in a pack was a bliss.

Sanrio Little Twin Stars Scented Double Highlighter

Dual ended highlighter from sanrio are not just for highlighting but its smells like pancakes and blueberry sauce. A very unique feature for any highlighter to possess.


Packaging: 

I must mention here that zenpop has put their effort in the packaging. The box is made out of a sturdy cardboard with a solid fun and bright coloured printing on it which is simple yet loud. The contents of the box are enclosed in a tissue paper to hold it in a place.

A beautiful thankyou note with a discount code for next order, and a pamphlet for all the details and description of the items included in a pack, plus a little japanese vocabulary that is fruits names , which needs to be mark 10/10.

Instead, change your behavior and mindset. The good luck will follow you! Read the full blogpost ahead featuring Zenpop lucky new year pack!!


​About Zenpop:

This pack is available for one time purchases, and subscription plans also available. Zenpop provides Free International Shipping to most countries.


My Thoughts: 

So this month included not 10, not 11, but 12 full sized items, one extra item just as a gift from Zenpop. Lets get into it!

Packaging:

I must mention here that zenpop has put their effort in the packaging. The box is made out of a sturdy cardboard with a solid fun and bright coloured printing on it which is simple yet loud. The contents of the box are enclosed in a tissue paper to hold it in a place.
A beautiful thankyou note with a discount code for next order, and a pamphlet for all the details and description of the items included in a pack, plus a little japanese vocabulary that is fruits names , which needs to be mark 10/10.

Lucky Washi Tape

Lets start with one of my favourite item in the box , the lucky washi tape by Saien, I got it in the pattern , The seven deities of good fortune, i have always been a fan of geishas and kimonos with all that japanese vibes. I think it is my favourite washi tape in my collection of 500+ washis so far.

Daruma Brush Pen

So, when i first saw the sneak peak on Zenpop’s Instagram Handle, i was so excited to get my hands on it. This brush pen has two sides to it, one is a bit sturdy and big for bigger , bolder strokes, feels very similar to Sakura koi Brush Pens, while the other side was comparatively smaller and flexible, i havent used the flexible brush tip pens before, so i had to practice a little to get used to it. The ink of the pen is infused with sandalwood, which comes out once you write with it. Most unique feature for any pen to possess.

Schedule Sticker

The last month’s pack had a new year table top calender with it. As soon as i hold these stickers in my hand i knew, i ll be using these to mark off my calender. I got it in panda design, it is perfect to decorate your calender or planner with it, and very useful too.

2019 New Year Postcard 

Just as i mentioned in the last blogpost of  Zenpop November Pack, In Japan, for every year there is an animal that has been chosen as animal of the year, which is consider to bring luck the whole year. So , Boar is an animal of the year for 2019, thats the reason they have added these cards. The cards are beautifully printed with gold foiled. I just love these!!

Mamimu Memo

A Zenpop Stationery Pack is not complete without having a very unique, out of this world item in it. This time , it is this matchbox size memo pad which is called Mamimu, Ma stands for MatchBox, Mi for Mini and Mu or Mukashi for traditional or old. It is very sturdy and travel friendly , can be easily fit into purse on the go!!

Japanese Sweets Washi Stickers

Washi tapes are everywhere, and we all love it, Even washi stickers are no exception. They are made on the Japanese paper called washi. This time they have included japanese sweets washi stickers, with gold foiling here and there. Cannot wait to create my bullet journal spread with these!!

Pencil Sharpener

Review : Paper Notes Classic Series Notebooks 

Hi Readers! A notebook can be a great way to catch ideas as they occur to you. Personalizing a basic notebook makes it your own. Keep Reading to find out more on the Personalised notebooks by the PaperNotesBrand.

About PaperNotes : 

Paper notes is created for the writing enthusiasts. The designs are inspired by a purist point of view , simple yet striking. They painskatingly craft their notebooks by providing all the necessary features without compromising your writing experience.

My Thoughts : 

As you all know, i always put the products to the test, regardless of their pretty designs. I got two notebooks from PaperNotes , Classic Series No. 2 Mint Ruled Notebook and the other is Classic Series No. 3 Mini Leaf Notebook. We will look into each of the characteristic side by side.

Design

I chose two different colours that is Mint Blue and Mint Green. One of the best thing about these notebooks are, that they are customized. Customization always adds a personal touch to everything you own. Both of the notebooks are beautifully customized with the gold on the bottom right of the notebooks with my name on it. These are the soft bounded notebooks.

Paper

Notebooks are made with 80 GSM paper with altogether 200 Pages in it. I put it to the test but just as i expected it doesnt bleed or ghost on the back of the paper. As one of the notebook is lined and the other was dot grid, it was a fun experimenting two types of designs.

Elastic Closure

If you are like me, and put every other thing in your notebook you must know the struggle when there is no elastic closure present in your notebook. But thankfully Paper Notes know the drill. Both , the mini and the regular has elastic closures in it to protect the pages and the contents in between.


Back Pocket

I always love to decorate my journals and notebooks with stickers and like to keep it in a separate pouch so that i can access it whenever i need it. The notebooks have this back pocket which will contain all your little belongings. I use it to even put my paper ruler in it.

Page Markers

Mostly when the brands releases the mini versions of notebooks, it usually lack in one or two features of the regular version. Paper Notes do not disappoint me in this regard, as the mini version is exactly the copy of the bigger version. I havent seen the page markers in mini notebooks before. It is one of the very useful tool in any notebook.

Pen Holder

The Classic Series No. 2 Mint Ruled Notebook comes with an exception that it has a little elastic pen holder to put your pen in it, to keep it with your notebook all the time and convenient for travelling as well.

Pricing : 
Classic Series No. 2 Mint Ruled Notebook retails at 199 PISO which is approximately equals to 1360 PKR.

Classic Series No. 3 Mini Leaf Notebook retails at 299 PISO which is approximately equals to 2050 PKR.

Rating : 

5 / 5 

In A Nut Shell : 

I think these are the most affordable customized notebooks with the pricing point and the quality it is providing. I will highly recommend it.

Review : Rutreat – Monthly Box Of Russian Snacks And Sweets 

Hi Peeps! A new craze to hit online mail subscription services is snack boxes. You can order monthly or bi-monthly boxes of tasty treats to be delivered right to your door. Rutreat, a treat and snacks subscription service from Russia, has been kind enough to let me try their Welcome Kit Keep Reading to see what was inside the box.

About Rutreat : 

Rutreat is a subscription service that delivers you a box of Russian snacks and sweets monthly.

Russia is a country inheriting over a thousand years of history. No surprise that in the course of these years people inhabited Russian lands developed many original recipes for all kind of foods, deserts and snacks. Rutreat box will include original Russian snacks and sweets as well as some localized versions of global products from many worldwide recognizable brands. It is a good way to explore something new, something that you can’t get in your local store.

Product Description : 

Rutreat is a box of snacks and sweets from Russia without subscription. You’ll pay only once, no obligations, no subscriptions. This is good if you not decided whether you want to subscribe or not. From the Welcome Kit you’ll get an idea if you need to subscribe. Each month you will get 1 KG of treats in a box.

My Thoughts : 

The most impressive feature of the box i found is that every single item was customized with the logo of FIFA WorldCup. There were a lot of treats just as i said approximately 1 KG, it was really fun to try all different treats which i havent tried before or even heard of. There were products ranging from teas to chocolates and everything. The most favourite item of the box was the kojic berries coated with sugar. It had a sweet and sour taste, both at once. The box arrived in 10 days, it did not costed me any custom charges or duties. The box came with a cute little post card represnting russia’s architect on it.

Pricing : 

It retails at $ 34.90 which is approximately 4842 Pakistani Rupees, which is fair enough for 1 Kilograms of treats and snacks.

Review : Boxcitement Surprise Subscription Box (Summer Vibes)

It can be all too easy to fall so deeply into a routine that your whole life becomes boring.  You might need to step out of your comfort zone in order to figure out what is missing from your life to make it more exciting. Talking about an excitement, It is described as a state of enthusiasm, stimulation or emotional arousal. If you feel that your life is lacking in these qualities, then you may want to make changes in order to create a more exciting life for yourself. Boxcitement is all about playing its part in one’s boring life. What makes it stand out from the other subscription boxes in market? Is that it is not curated, but created.

About Boxcitement: 

Boxcitement use innovative and unusual techniques and materials to create exclusively designed stationery, accessories, jewellery and homewares for our subscription boxes. Their team have many years’ combined experience in graphic design, fashion design, jewellery making and illustration, meaning their boxes ooze creativity – you just won’t find the range and uniqueness they offer anywhere else. Every month is completely different, so there will always be something unusual to look forward to when your Boxcitement consignment arrives.

My Thoughts:

This box is very different from which i have tried until now and same goes with the products. Lets get into each of them one by one : 

Packaging : 

Going with the theme of summer the packaging was all summery and colourful. The contents of the box came in a flat thick cardboard packaging, wrapped in the tissue, along with the content card and all the details of the products inside the box. To add a little something to the look they have added few confetti cutouts spreaded all over the box. I really liked the packaging overall.

Lip Balm 

I havent mention it before on my blog but i am obsessed with lip balms. Regardless what the shape , colour and size is , i cannot resist my urge to buy some when i see it. This is the basic lip balm, without any artificial colours and flavours in it with the cute quote “mwah” . Another addition in my collection.

Ice Cream Pendant : 

As summer is all about eating popsicles and icecreams to beat the heat, a cute little wooden icecream pendant has been added in the box. You can easily wear this on the beach without getting it rustic or wet.

Fish And Chips Pin

It is one of my favourite item in the box , cannot say enough good words about its quality. It is a metal enamel pin or a badge whatever you may call it with fish and chips on it. It goes perfectly with the overall beachy theme.

Sandwitch Bag

The most useful item in the box i will say, is the sandwitch bag. Have you ever been into a situation at the beach when you are eating something and you are full halfway. But you are in the middle of the sand and no place to put your leftover in. Here comes this bag that will save you from such situations. I absolutely loved the print on the fabric bag.

Weekly Planner 

Summer is the best season to plan your vacations. And to plan, what best than a handy planner. It is perfect to fit any of the hand bag or purse. It has seven days of the week pre printed all you can do is to write your to dos or plans for each day.

Summer Cards

A pack of beautifully printed beach inspired greeting cards have been added in the box. All the cards have the beach theme graphics printed on it. You can use these cards to invite your friends and family at the summer party at your home.

Fish Hanging

This is the cutest item in the box i guess, an aesthetic fish hanging made out of plaster of paris for decoration. It is packed in a little pouch to keep it save. I really like the fact that people at Boxcitement are very creative. How each item represent the way it is created is commendable.

Rating:

4.5 / 5 

In A Nut Shell:

Boxcitement is very different from the traditional subscription boxes, which are curated, this box is created by the experts at their end.  I will 100% recommend you all to try this box once atleast.
