Unboxing and Review: Coffee and a Classic Subscription Box (February 2021)

Welcome to another month with the box subscription: Coffee and a Classic. I ordered it through Cratejoy (affiliate link). The box that I subscribe to is the monthly starter classic box which includes a book, drink, bookmark, and two bookish items. They also have a standard classic box which includes everything in the starter box plus a snack, mug, and is packaged in a photo box.

What did I get in my box this month? I am going to share the contents with you here. My review is not for the book or the items I received because I haven’t read/used them yet, but instead will be for the content and subscription experience.

Unboxing

• The box arrived in good shape and it was clearly labeled so I knew what it was right away.
• On the top of everything was a postcard listing what items I would find in the box.
• The first item in the box was a snake bookmark from Electricaveartworks on Etsy.
• The second item in the box was Shakespearian Insult Gum from Archie Mcphee.
• The third item in the box was Lady Macbeth’s guest soap from UPG.
• The fourth item in the box was Cupid’s Choice Dark Roast coffee from Coffee by Design.
• The fifth item in the box was the book…William Shakespeare’s Tragedies. There are two options to choose from: adult classic or children’s classic.

Here is everything I received in this box.

Review

What I liked:

• You can get a sneak peak of the classic book choices before the box ships out.
• You can choose from three different drink options.
• All of the items related to the book choice.
• The coffee packet makes at least one full pot (12 oz) and is a good size to try out.
• The book I received was a quality copy.
• The price included the shipping cost.
• Everything was packaged well.

What I didn’t like:

• The soap was a sample size and the snake bookmark felt like thick construction paper.

Overall Opinion

This is one of my favorite subscription boxes. I love the quality of the classic books and coffee. The box is curated in such a fun way. Even though I knew what book I was getting, I still found opening this box to be a fun experience. I’m looking forward to reading this classic and enjoying the coffee and Shakespearian Insult gum.

This subscription service is $41.99 and includes shipping.

I have found some wonderful boxes. My YouTube channel is full of video unboxing’s if you are interested. I also share my unboxing’s on my sister website for those boxes that are not books.
