Excellent product.
This is my 2nd A5 journal - first one (owl) was gifted to me and I liked it so much I bought another one. Love the colourful covers. Journal is sturdy, a bookmark helps you keep track and the elastic keeps the journal from falling open. Nice thickness of paper and the lined paper keeps me on track. Also makes a nice gift!
Best service. I couldn't wait to receive my junk journal box, and I didn't have to. So in love with everything!
What a stunning box (I'm writing this probably a year later, better late than never!) and this is still a favourite box for me. Unfortunately my bottle of bath salts arrived poured out but I managed to get the vast majority of it back into the message in a bottle. Phew.
I absolutely love the magnets, and I'm always happy to get notebooks. I only wish that instead of two lined and one blank, that we'd get one lined, one dot grid, and one blank. One can always make use of a dot grid notebook, and I don't generally use blank notebooks, but I don't hold it against the box at all.
I love the pack of pens, they're absolutely gorgeous, each in its own way. I love the bright colour scheme of the box overall. Vibrant and funky magnets, highlighters and notebooks.
What's not to love, when you get a message in a bottle in the shape of a Papery box, filled to the brim with stationery?
Your service was excellent. I love my box it is stunning. I can't wait to start.
It is a beautifully detailed, vibrant tape. So worth it. Looks beautiful in any journal.

My very first purchase from The Papery. I felt like a child opening a lucky packet! It was beautifully packed. My favs were the metallic highlighters, but the quality of all the products in the box is obvious. I will definitely buy from them again. They will make fabulous gifts.
