This was my first box this year and I like it. Im giving the second set of inserts to my sister who is a counselor. She is always reading and listening to podcast to strengthen her skills
For Me: the sticky notes and pentel ink pen will be put to immediate use - the half letter items and pouch will be boxed for someday - the monthly reflection card will be gifted. And the remaining items will be shelved for future use. I like your scoring system ✌🏽
Thx so much for your thoughtful review. I loved the calming blue & collab box theme. I will probably gift the journal & the black ink pen. Already using or have a plan for everything else.
I think I'm the only one who loves the color. I don't use a lot of color in my planner, but my cover is baby blue. :) My least favorite item is the blue pen. Why finally give us a blue pen but make it so dark it's dang near black. C&P is skating on thin ice with me. Lol! But I appreciate them amplifying mental health!
You’re not alone. I love the color in this box! But, I like the pen ink too…give me blue-black over plain black. However, I found other colors on JetPens and the refills are $1.50! It’s a good option if you like the pen itself.
That’s such a good point on the pen! It is blue black so if you use it along with black it may not be distinct enough to tell them apart at a glance. And I’m glad the color works for you 🤗
I love this nod (blue products) to mental health wellness. I typically wouldn't go for blue planner or stationary items, but given the theme, I love it.
I've been a C+P customer for years but not a subscriber. I finally took the plunge so this is my 1st sub box. I like the planner. I think the blue is soothing and peaceful but the discs feel a bit cheap. I would have preferred metal ones. Did you see the preview of the spiral planner in next month box + what did you think of it? I was a bit underwhelmed tbh 😏. Also, I like your videos very much.
Hi there! And thanks 💙I did see the spiral and I’m super bummed actually. I personally am not a fan of the new weekly layout. It doesn’t allow as much flexibility compared to prior years. The silver rings are fine but the white print on the cover is not one of my favorite styles either. I think there will definitely be fans but I’ve enjoyed the previous two years better. They said people voted, but I’m always curious who they are polling because I would love an opportunity to vote 🙃
I don't believe the voting thing for a second. Ashley makes the decisions. I've given some honest reviews, and unless you really gush about their products, they won't publish your review. This seems perverse and disingenuous. No company is perfect, but all 5 star reviews??? I don't think so 🤔.
How to get discounts on the boxes 😅 I adore but good Lord I spent way less on digital planning but I am currently in transition back to an A5. I’m totally excited but I can spend my savings on pen/paper lol
@@ThePlannerAisle I may have to do the same, lol. I will work very hard to stick with this! I don’t have a whole usually that I need to plan so…ya pretty boring but I am indeed craving the pen to paper and just ugh miss that feel! I can’t wait, its tough not having everything to download instant so far 😂
They lost me with the colors in this box. C&P missed the mark on this one in my opinion. Also, I use nothing in half letter so not happy to see nothing was size specific to my size planner. I’m also ready to see those mirror “key cards” go. The cost of those could definitely be put to better use! This box was a definite skip for me. Fingers crossed they do much better for November! Thanks for the video!! ❤
Thanks! Yeah this felt more like a specialty or limited edition box - almost like a box you could order separately in honor of mental health awareness month, not as one of the existing monthly sub boxes. And yes, you know how I feel on the mirrored cards….not a fan at all.
Hi, I also hate the silly mirror cards and C+P are getting very mean with journaling cards in general. Those cheap little folding calendar cards are bad news, too 😕.
Yesss I agree with everything you said! I much prefer the pinks/browns for my “color” in my planner so the blue is not for me but the idea and theme are so good. Also, half letter is such a good size. It’s not too big but also not too tiny.
Yes! Color is so tricky to get right since everyone likes different colors. There was sooo much of it in this box but it is a pretty color in general. Like if I had a sweater that color I’d where it all the time 🤗
I always love your sub box reviews you do such a thorough job. This color is a no for me. I think it’s the mental wellness color but anybody that plans minimally does not want happy planner blue disc. The whole box is happy planner to me. I wish cloth and paper would just go back to the basics for 2025.😢
There was nothing in the box I liked/loved I gave the whole box away!!!! If that spiral planner for November is dull I’m going to unsubscribe to c&p!!!!
I’m new to their sub boxes. My first one was June I liked that one. August was ok, and I def hated sept box. I decided to skip this one nothing appealed to me. The bag is nice that’s about it.
Thank you so much! The color was a risk for sure. I like the color for like clothing or maybe my sheets but just not in my office or planning space. I’m really hoping they have something exciting in store for 2025 as well. Their shipping boxes have said “a new era awaits” recently so…..we’ll see! 🤞🏾
