Extra, Fae Crate Unboxings

Fae Crate Unboxing | High Tide (August 2019)

Screenshot_2019-06-11 Fae Crate - Let's live a thousand live together


Hello Lovelies! I’m back with another unboxing of my favorite subscription box, Fae Crate. These boxes are the highlight of my month and I could not love the items more! I hope you enjoy this month’s unboxing as much as I did! It was my favorite box so far and I loved every item in it!!!

The only complaint I would have is that these boxes came extremely late because of many delays and the book had a later release. I understand why it was pushed back, but I wasn’t happy about it. The boxes are supposed to ship on the week of the 20th of each month and these boxes didn’t ship until the 12th of September. The book’s release date was August 27th and, even if you add in that extra week delay, the boxes should have shipped well before they did.

The good thing about all of this is that the Fae Crate team has taken measures to ensure that it doesn’t happen again and the September box will ship on time. I’ll basically just get two boxes back to back instead of a period of waiting in between, like usual.


August’s Theme:

Let’s start off with this month’s theme which was High Tide! I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t really sure if I was going to like this month’s box. Every fandom that was included was one that I had never read before which made me leery of getting the box.

Alas, despite my better judgement, I bought the box… and I am SOOOO glad I did! This was definitely my favorite Fae Crate box so far and I loved every single item in it, regardless if I was part of the fandom. Any doubts I had about Fae Crate completely went away with this box. I know I will love their boxes no matter what now.


The Box Itself:

For those that haven’t seen my previous unboxings, this is what the box looks like. It’s beautiful isn’t it?!

I just love everything about this book and the way it looks. The color and logo fit the company perfectly, the *CAUTION: magic inside* lid is absolutely adorable, and the sides that have the company slogan which say, “Let’s live a thousand lives together” just warms my heart.


The Items in the Box:

Mermaid Lagoon Magnet ~ This was a cute little magnet to add to my collection. It wasn’t anything particularly special, but I liked it.

Tentacle Ring ~ I thought that this item was really unique and I love it. I’ve never seen anything like it and I felt like it suited this month’s theme really well.

To Kill a Kingdom Drawstring Bag ~ This has got to be one of the most useful and beautiful items I have ever received from Fae Crate. The artwork is stunning, the bag feels really soft, and it is greatly sized. I can fit SO many things in it and it won’t be running out of uses any time soon.

Wild & Infinite Vinyl Decal ~ I have always wanted one of these to put on my laptop and I finally have one! I also really like the design and I know it will spark conversation as to where I got it!

Wicked Deep Sturdy Bookmark ~ Wicked Deep has been on my TBR for a while now and this bookmark has only made me more interested in the book. I just love the design and it is one of my favorite bookmarks that I own.

Bookmark Case ~ This is one of my most favorite bookish items that I have ever received! I had no idea that bookmark cases were a thing, but I am SOOOO happy that I have one now! It is just so perfect and I have already put it to use to hold my tons of bookmarks!

The Siren Coin Purse ~ I had never had a coin purse before today, but I sure have a beautiful one now!


Monthly Polaroid and Coin:

For those that don’t know, each month Fae Crate has a monthly Polaroid picture that they include and (starting last month) a monthly coin. These are exclusive to each month and you cannot get them again. Fae Crate announces what the Polaroid is to look like and what fandom the coin is going to be from on their Instagram. I highly encourage you to check them out so you can decide if you want a box before they sell out!

King of Scars Polaroid ~ I just love this Polaroid and I am very eager to add it to my collection! Look at Nikolai!!!!

Percy Jackson Coin ~ I have been a part of the Percy Jackson fandom for many years and I felt like this coin fit perfectly. I love the words on it and Poseidon’s trident!

September and October’s Polaroid and Coin have already been announced. For those that want to know, they are:

  • September ~ Dark Artifices Polaroid and Red Queen Coin
  • October ~ Darkest Minds Polaroid and Three Dark Crowns Coin

Monthly Ebook Download:

Each month not only does Fae Crate include a hardcover book, but they also include a code so you can download a free ebook! The ebook for this month was The Sinking by Sarah Armstrong-Garner. It definitely looks interesting and has been added to my TBR.


Book of the Month:

37777083. sy475

The Book of the Month was Crown of Coral and Pearl by Mara Rutherford. I am highly anticipating diving in to this book and I am extremely happy that it was the selection for this month.

The book also came with a card from the author that I thought was so beautiful that I had to include it! Here it is:
