July OwlCrate Review

Hello, all!

The theme for this month was "Courtly Intrigue." Let's get into it!

First up, there was this collapsible silicone water bottle inspired by From Blood and Ash. I can always use a water bottle, and I don't have one like this so this'll be convenient. My family and I are also planning a trip to Ireland next year, so this'll be perfect to bring through security so I don't have to pay $20 for a water bottle in the airport.

Then we had this body mist inspired by Priory of the Orange Tree. I don't usually vibe with their scented products, so I'm surprised that I don't mind this. I'm a fan of sweeter scents, so that's probably why. I'm not sure if I'd use this for myself or just as a room spray, but I like it.

I have to be honest-- I don't like when they include these little bowl cozies because I'm never going to use one. It's just an item I never think to use, so it always goes to waste.

The luggage pin this month was inspired by City of Brass, and I love the color scheme for this one. The design itself is also really nice.

As much as I love the Throne of Glass series, I have no use for these little drink charms, so sadly just like the bowl cozy, I'll be passing these along.

The last item was this little wooden pocket mirror inspired by These Hollow Vows. I'm in the minority who didn't enjoy this book, but I can always use a mirror to throw in my bag.

The book for the month was Violet Made of Thorns by Gina Chen. This is a darkly enchanting fantasy debut about a morally gray witch, a cursed prince, and a prophecy that ignites their fate-twisted destinies.

I love anything to do with witches, so sign me up. I'm also obsessed with the foiling on the endpages. I'm hoping to pick this one up soon. Let me know what you thought of this months box!
