Review:
The first item that I came across in the FairyLoot box was the Shadowhunters mug. I absolutely love this mug, I love that it is ceramic because these mugs keep a lot warmer than the tin ones in my opinion. I also love that the main characters from Cassandra Clare's 3 main series; Will, Jem, Tessa, Clary, Jace, Clary, Julian and Emma were included on the mug. With their specific institute behind them. It was such a lovely design eventhough it was a touch on the dark side.

The next item I discovered was the fortune cookie. This was such a unique item and I've never known one to be in a box before, so I was super excited about this and I loved the idea of it. The wrapped that the cookie was in was really pretty it was a shiny pink wrapped that said discover your destiny. This was super fitting and was such a cool idea. My fortune inside the cookie said 'with great power... comes great need to take a nap'. This is a quote from the author of the Percy Jackson books, I can't remember which book or whether it was actually the Percy Jackson series. But I thought it was a really cool idea to include a book quote, it sort of acts like a book recommendation which I loved.

Princess of Disi candle was the next item, this candle was based on the book, A Curse so Dark and Lonely. I've not read this book and I don't think I plan to sadly. The candle smelt okay, not a smell that I'd usually choose, at first it was over powering but then it got weaker.

The next item was a necklace which was diagon alley. Obviously, this was based on Harry Potter. I really love the design of it as it has colour, but I don't really wear necklaces that often so I feel this is slightly wasted. But I honestly do love the item itself and it'll be more use to someone else.

A mug rug was my next discovery, I thought this was a badge at first but it sort of makes sense now that it's a coaster. The design on the front is a nine-tailed fox. The colours of the design are quite light and pale but in my opinion they don't really go with each other. The actual design is nice though. it would just look better in different colours. This item was based on the actual book for this months box so I will look forward to understanding this item more once I've read the book.

The next item I discovered was a little purse, it was inspired by Melissa Grey's book, The Girl at Midnight. It has a quote on it, 'When in doubt, bravado always bravado'. I have no clue what this means but maybe the people of this fandom understands it. To be honest, I've never heard of this author or book. It's quite a unique design and the colours are nice. I just wouldn't use it because I don't carry cash.

The unicorn pin banner was the final item in the box before the tarot cards and book. This was such a pretty design and so much better than just a plain banner but I just feel like this was too soon after the other one and I've not actually received many enamel pins since the last one. This pi banner was based on the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, I've not read this series and I think there's potentially more series out there that are much further ahead than this one.

The next item in this box was the two tarot cards. These were such a pretty design and I love them so much. They are Luna and Ron. Ron's card confused me a bit, I knew it was a Weasley and my first thought was Ron but then I thought that he never had an owl but then I rediscovered that he was given one by Sirius Black in book 3, Prisoner of Azkaban. So this now makes sense and I'm super happy with them and I am really looking forward to see who the final two of the series is going to be.

I also received the replacement scarf from a past box within this box. I really loved this and I just requested the replacement so I could have a correct one on the wall in my study for display.

The book in this box was called Wicked Fox by Kat Cho. The design of it was super pretty even-though I really don't like pink. I just love how the sprayed edges matched the actual cover of the book, it was such a good idea and I really hope that I will like this book and it'll keep me out of my reading slump. Keep an eye out for the review of this book, hopefully this will be by the end of the year.
