Fairy Loot - June 2016 - Classic Twist

So, I somehow managed to buy a box which sells immediately after it's announced. That's a first. I always get things last or never because when I come to be aware of stuff, it's already gone. 

Anyway, when I opened the box my heart stopped. The very first thing on the top was Mr. Darcy Funko thingy. Now you probably think, "oh, that's so sweet, her dream came true," but no no no no! I find them ridiculous. I just don't understand what the fuss is about. The funko disproportional heads make me question most bookstagrammers' sanity because they are hideous. But not in a nice fuzzy way (I try to find beauty in decadent nonconformist things, you've probably noticed) - just plain ugly. But somehow he will look good on my shelves next to other very mainstream stuff I usually get for Christmas from people who have no idea what to give me because we are not that close. 

Next there was a candle called Bronte's Secret. I still don't know the secret but the smell is pleasant. Not sure if candles in the summer are a good idea but maybe I'll be able not to lose it till winter when it's the right time to breath carcinogenous air.

Then I discovered a pair of stud earrings shaped like swallows. I love earrings. I'm addicted to them. I've got a pair for every day of the year and more. And I don't have these so that's a plus.

Another accessory is a Chapter 5 bookworm bracelet which is so impractical it hurts. There is the metal part which secures it (it slid off before I even attempted to put it on) and I know, this way people of all sizes can have it but it SLIDES OFF! And it's ugly. The colors are wrong.

There was also a set of three cheerful bookmarks. Since I have a ton of bookmarks from every purchase I make at bookdepository.com I'm not so keen on these. 

I think a lot of people will like the watercolor "poster" (since when are posters midget sized?!) because it's pretty but again, it's so small!

And last but not least, the book. This time it's supposed to be a prehistoric tale so I'm really interested. When I was a kid there was a compulsory read at school called Mammoth Hunters and it was thrilling so I hope my childhood will not be ruined by this. Oh, and there was this sticker with the author's autograph in there too but as I was angry at it (why don't they send signed books?!) I put it in the book and forgot I had yet to take the picture. Not that anyone cares, my pictures for this blog suck. I'm still in the wrong place and I won't try until I move. Which will hopefully be this summer. Then I will have a lighter room to attempt to do nice pictures.
Oh, I nearly forgot to mention that funny hashtag. Each person gets a unique code for the month (they recycle so it works for the duration of one month only) which pairs the person up with a random stranger. It means two people get the same hashtag and they are supposed to find each other on Twitter (I don't have that) or Instagram (I have that but so far no luck finding my reading buddy). But the idea is cool.

Now that you know what was inside, how classic-twisty does it sound to you? Prehistoric novels are not classic. Yup, the funko is from the zombie movie so that's a twist. The poster is classic without a twist, the same goes for the rest.. I dunno, it doesn't seem to be about the book but about the funko which is strange.
And as an instagrammer now I can say I've seen two more boxes having the same book in them. That's rather unfortunate. It should be new and thrilling and fun. What if someone bought all these boxes and has multiple copies of this book now?

Price (in Euros and including shipping): 45.54

The book: you'll have to wait for me to read it and check my Instagram then

Knick-knacks: funko pop, candle, earrings, bracelet, poster, bookmarks

Overall impression: I kinda like it. Even though there are many things I find not agreeable, you get a lot for your money.
