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 well labeled.
  • 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 package of Roasted Chestnut Blend from Coffee by Design.
  • The second item in the box was a Derby Day Handmade Soy Candle.
  • The third item in the box was a Horse Silhouette Box Sign.
  • The fourth item in the box was a burlap bag with a handmade Suede String Stirrup Bookmark.
  • The fifth item in the box was the book… Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand. There are two book options to choose from every month: adult classic or children’s classic. This is a former box when they offered non-fiction.

 

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:

  • Non-fiction option
  • Paperback book

Overall Opinion

This is usually 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. This month was unusual because we were given a former box. This is not the normal process. The owners of Coffee and a Classic just recently welcomed a baby so they needed time away from the business. CONGRATS TO THEM! I wish the book had been a hard copy rather than paperback. The coffee is always my favorite product besides the book but I thought the bookish items were interesting.

This subscription service is $42.99 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.
