My birthday presents to myself this year were mostly subscription boxes. I wanted to try a couple new ones. The first one was a bit of a bust. I got 1 month of Finders Seekers, which is a type of mystery game where you look for clues in the items in the box. I thought it might be fun to play with my family. We’re not that kind of family, I guess. We used the hints on every clue and did solve it, but we did it mostly to just get it over with. It’s similar to the Outfoxed board game, which is more for kids and my family loves, and prefers, to what this box had. Oh well, we tried it and now we know.
The second box was from Introverts
Retreat. I did this one on a whim at the last minute and had very low
expectations. Book subscription boxes always look fun, but I am very picky
about my books and rarely read mainstream or literary fiction. I absolutely
loved this one. I got to choose my drink (hot chocolate) and genre (romance,
which I picked because I figured it was a throw away book anyway and mysteries I don't pick myself never work out). The book
they sent was a Georgette Heyer that I don’t have and will absolutely read. And
the treats and candle are just fun. I was only going to do one month of this
one but I’m going to do another one because I liked it so much. A win, for
sure.
So another great birthday month is over for the year, but the presents will still be coming. Ha ha ha
