Review: 
Check out Sammie's first impressions in the video:

I mainly got this box because of the Even the Darkest Stars item, which I do love. Plus I also wanted the next set of An Ember in the Ashes tarot cards. So this box in a way was just for 2 items.

The first item in the box was a necklace. It was in the shape of a full moon but was black with the different phases of the moon on it. This was such a unique item and I wasn't expecting it to look how it did. It was quite pretty and the way they put the phases actually on the necklace was cool.

The next item in the box was starry fairy lights. These were battery powered lights in the shape of stars. I felt like they could have been longer in length and I feel like they were actually quite flimsy. I'd be worried that the wire between them would snap with not much force; I do like them though because I don't actually have any fairy lights to put on my bookcase.

The moon trinket tray was the next item in the box, this was covered with a rainbow coating. The moon also had a face which I found pretty cool, it reminded me off how moons are portrayed in animations and children shows. I personally wouldn't use it though because I don't really wear much jewellery, if any. I only wear my wedding and engagement rings but they never come off so there's not much need for a trinket try for me. I also feel that too many of their items are now covered with this rainbow coating, but then at the same time I suppose all these items will make a unique set, so I can see the positive of the colour too.

In this box, we also received a notebook. This has lined pages and is based on the fandom Illuminae. The quote on the front felt like it was so meaningful, I also loved the colour of the notebook and the whole design with the foil stars, it just made it that bit extra special. In a way I wish I used notebooks more because I feel this was a perfect size to just put in your bag, so you could make notes when you are out and about.

A cushion cover was the next item in this box, it was based on an Oscar Wilde quote. I liked the quote and I loved the colours that were actually on the cushion cover, it was like teal sort of blue/green. It felt like it was quite fresh and would make a bed or sofa feel comforting. 

The next item was the Even the Darkest Stars item. I really like this fandom and I find the duology an excellent read. The item was a keychain of a dragon who had stars in the background. The stars also glow in the dark so it makes the key chain that tad more exciting and beautiful. I love the colour of the dragon, he is a nice lilac colour and you can just imagine the personality he has. These are by far the most loved creatures in the duology. And my favourite item in this whole box.

The final item in the box apart from the book and the tarot cards was paper clips. These were silver in colour and in the shape of stars. I thought this was really fitting item in the box especially for the theme, I also liked how they were included with a notebook so it allows you to be more organised in your life. Especially with the new year and trying to keep track of all your yearly goals.

The tarot cards were another main reason I got this box as I mentioned at the start, it was purely because the tarot cards were from the series An Ember in the Ashes. Which I am currently buddy reading with Lauren, well not the first one as we've finished that, the second one A Torch Against the Night. This month the two characters were Laia and Keenan.

Woven in Moonlight was the book for this month. It came with stickers which contained words and people/animals that I assume are mentioned within the book. The book does seem interesting to read but it's not my usual style of book, so it will be interesting to see if I like the book. Looking on Book Page, it is an anticipated read for January, so we will see how I get on. I will 100% be caught up on FairyLoot books by the end of the year but I can't promise I will actually get round to reading this book this year sadly.
