This month I decided I would give a new book box a try. I have tried many in the past and only one to this point has been one I have kept for over a year. The others were wonderful, but I no longer read a lot of YA so I was on the hunt for a book box that fits my current reading habits. With my youtube and blog searches I came across this lovely box called Coffee and a Classic.
If you know me I love classic literature, I find it a wonderful way to look into the past without reading non-ficiton, which I also love. On top of that, you get some delicious coffee to sip while you read. An entire experience!
Now, this box has a few customizable things going for it as well. You can pick coffee or tea, and the type of classic you would want to read. They have children’s classic, classic literature, and then a non-fiction classic. Which, I love that they give the subscribers so much choice in the box. On top of that you can can pick from starter ($29.99) or standard (40.99). Which, if you want to know more please check out their website. www.coffeeandaclassic.com.
Anyway, I picked the classic literature starter box here is what I got this month!
Can I just say I am a sucker for cute simplistic packaging? This logo is just so cute and I love it. I also loved how everything was packaged in a box that was appropriate in size. Everything fit safely and snuggly inside nothing was shifting all over and there was unneeded stuff.
I am so excited to try this coffee, I am also so happy that it happens to be themes as a Grand Adventure because I am currently rereading The Fellowship of the Ring and I feel like it would fit in perfectly. On top of that it smells heavily.
Here are the two bookish goodies I got this month. The first are two absorbent car coasters. I feel like these people are spying on me because I said a few weeks ago I needed some of these and I was on the look out for them. Looks like I don’t need to keep searching. The second is a beautiful lined notebook, which is in a beautiful blue color. I love that both of these have artwork that actual applies to the book that is in this book instead of just something generic. You can see the thought that goes into this.
Last, but certainly not least we have the bookmark and the book. Can I just say I love that they send a bookmark with a book. I never understood when book boxes never came with a bookmark. Anyway, this bookmark is made of Sassafras and features art pertaining to the book. I have never had a wooden bookmark that I can remember, but I love the feel of this. Then, we have the classic! I am happy to say I have not read this classic, but I have heard quote a lot about it. I am excited to dive into this, sip my coffee, and maybe take some notes.
I have to say I am really happy with this book box. The items inside are usable and not just knickknacks and all have to do with the book that was sent not just a generic theme. I can see the hard work that was put into this and I want to say well done. I am going to continue on with this box!

That looks like such a cute box! Personally I’m not so much a classic reads type of gal but I do appreciate them. And the beauty of the books is awesome. Also a wooden bookmark sounds weird but is probably amazing. And the car coasters….what?! That is an awesome addition

It really is a beautiful box, I was pleasantly surprised. I have seen other people use wooden bookmarks online and I thought it was a little weird myself, but finally having one on my hand it makes a lot more sense. I thought they would be thicker and damage the book in some way. This one is cut so thin, but very sturdy.
I LOVED the car coasters. I was beyond excited about those. I have been on the lookout for some for so long.
Thanks for reading!

This looks so amazing! I love classic books so this looks really cool! As you said, I also like how the items were related to the book rather than something random and generic. I would like to subscribe to some book boxes, but it is really expensive to ship to NZ since most of the boxes are based internationally.

I am glad you liked the post! I can only imagine the shipping costs and the conversion for the boxes. Are there none that are based in NZ?

There are a few, but they are very generic with only the book inside fo a box, which ends up being more expensive than bussing to the store, buying the same book, and bussing home.
