Today is a #BringBackPaper day here on the blog, so I’m bringing you details of a pretty stationery subscription service, #Paperhaul, along with offering two of you the chance to win a 3 month subscription…
OK, before I get sharing what I received in my box this month, I will issue a *Spoiler Alert*! I know the boxes for June haven’t all gone out yet, so look away now if you’re expecting one and don’t want your surprise ruined.
#Paperhaul introduces it’s boxes… Are you a paper addict who loves snailmail and happypost?
#paperhaul is a box that brings you a surprise and exclusive collection of high quality design-led postcards, tags, stickers, craft papers and more, all lovingly assembled into a different theme each month.Â
The first thing that struck me about my package is that it is handily sized to fit through your letterbox. I did have that presence of thought before I eagerly ripped it open to see the pretty stationery! Here’s what I found…..
The Contents:
I received 3 postcards, 2 big and 3 small greetings cards, 2 sheets of craft paper, a sheet of stickers, 2 larger stickers, 3 gift tags and a roll of washi tape. I believe that’s a fairly typical selection for a monthly box, and you can see the contents of past boxes over on their website. Plenty to keep me going anyway!
All items are of a good quality and original designs, along with being themed, as you can see. Boxes are themed differently every month, which I think is a lovely idea. The cards and postcards feel thick and not at all flimsy, and the sheet of ice cream and ice lolly stickers you can see there are nice and glossy. As a regular letter writer, I can see me being able to use every item from the box this month. I’m also quite aware of the value of quality stationery, so can see that this is worth the subscription price.
The Details:
Subscriptions are £10 per month and ship worldwide, all with additional postage prices (it’s £2 P&P here in the UK). There’s no contract, and there are also 3 and 6 month gift subscription options available. For every #paperhaul box sold, 10p is also donated to Post Pals, which is a charity that you may remember me sharing with you here. If you’re liking what you see, you can follow #Paperhaul on Twitter, and find out more about the subscriptions here.
The Verdict:
For me, I think this would be something I’d do as one-off treats here and there and can definitely see the appeal as a gift option, too. I like the concept of a surprise package full of papery delights turning up like this and brightening your day, and I’d also be confident now that I would actually make use of everything in it, too. I do sometimes spend £12 a month on stationery, but not necessarily every month and sometimes I find that part of the fun is in the choosing. So it would depend upon my stationery mood as to whether I went for one of these sometimes as a treat, or whether I indulged in a little shopping spree myself. Both are equally fun!
The Competition:
As promised, I do now have two 3 month subscriptions up for grabs for two of my readers. If you’re already subscribing, or just want to dive in and do so now, that’s all fine as if you win, you’ll still get your free 3 months. To be in with a chance, enter using the rafflecopter below. The give-away ends at 12am 8th July 2015, open to UK entrants only. Good luck!
What appeals to you about a #Paperhaul subscription?
Disclosure: I received a #Paperhaul box FOC for the purposes of this post, though all words and opinions remain my own
i keep umming about these stationery boxes for the same reason as you, I’d love a parcel but I like choosing my own too for the same price! Looks fab though xxx
I can see myself dipping into these once in a while as I do like the surprise element, but then I also like to go on a little stationery spree 🙂 xx
Enjoying cute stationery every week!
I love the idea of getting that variety of stationery every month – we don’t have many good stationery shops nearby without driving for at least 40 minutes so I don’t get to go very often. It would be nice for new and exciting stuff to come to me instead 😉
40 minutes?! You do realise that you simply need to move? 😉 x
I love surprises and I love stationery so what could be better! Thank you for the review! I hadn’t heard of this company!
I’m a recent convert to pretty stationary. I’ve bought pretty much everything in one of the current Wilkinsons ranges! So many lovely things in the #paperhaul box 🙂
Ooooh! Papery goodness to your door! Fantastic! Great giveaway! Thankyou #paperhaul and Joselyn!
Always a nice change to get happy mail through the door, rather than bills or junk mail. The element of surprise with Paperhaul is a big plus too!
I like monthly subscription boxes (toys/snacks etc). The surprise each month is great and they make lovely gifts for people. I didn’t know they did such things as these!
I love the idea of these subscription stationery boxes and have considered them in the past. I shall have a browse now of #Paperhaul. Enjoy your yummy Ice cream themed stationery!
I’m a stationery addict so would love one of these x
Be nice to get selection through the post
Ooò they do look like a fun to receive, but like you I think it would be best as a treat every now and then.xx
Yes, a lovely treat here and there 🙂 x
I’m already a #paperhaul subscriber and absolutely love it! Beautiful stationery popping through my letterbox every month! What’s not to love?! It’s encouraged me to take time to write to my family and friends too instead of sending a quick text. Highly recommended! (I don’t mind the spoiler! I’m so impatient it appeases me until my parcel arrives!)
Anything that encourages people to use more paper and send more happy mail has to be a lovely, special thing 🙂
#paperhaul looks amazing..great for sharing and making cute gifts for friends…also good to sit with the kids and see what they can do with the materials 🙂
I like the surprise element of services like these!
I love the surprise of not knowing what you’re going to get.
Nice to have a surprise and see different designs
I have a bit of an addiction to stationery and snail mail so the idea of receiving a boxful of lovely goodies through post every month really appeals to me – especially as it’s contents would be a complete surprise x
I like the fact that there are different themes each month, the contents look fab x
I’m always trying to think of low-cost options for cards etc and you can’t get lower cost than a 3 month paperhaul giveaway!! Thanks for the chance to win. I am a paper addict and I have no intention of quitting!
Oh wow!! Not I am a total stationery addict, and I LOVE surprise boxes so this really appeals to me. I suppose the surprise element is my favourite thing – what stationery addict wouldnt love a surprise parcel every month?!
i love that you get yummy stationary through the door each month that is my idea of heaven !!!
Because I have a scrapbook which I add lots of different things to and paper stock stuff is always helpful to add to my stash!
This looks like such a fun box service! I don’t like a lot of them, but this one I would go for! I wish it was in the US too!
They ship worldwide 🙂
I like that the boxes are themed; some of the past boxes look right up my street! 🙂 Lovely competition x
I love crafting and scrapbooking – so this would be monthly heaven 🙂
Love receiving funky snail mail……even better to send it. Like the idea of the themed boxes, makes sure you don’t always choose the same things.
hi, I popped across from IG. I’ve been following craftycreatives / paperhaul for a while now and their boxes look lush. I love all paper and may have to purchase one!!
It does look lovely and I really like the idea of monthly themes.
I love to send lovely cards and notes to fellow ibd sufferers as I know how much this can brighten a day especially when in hospital. Its a lovely feeling to recive a note and know that someone cares enough to send it.
I like nice stationery and I also like card-crafting and this seems to have a bit of both.
I adore pretty paper items and stationary. I don’t think you can beat handwritten letters etc i have a collection of different coloured/textured papers/ envelopes ao i would love this! (Fingers crossed)
I love that you can dip in and out as my paper writing activities can be quit sporadic, at best sometimes… *must try better ! 🙂
I’m a complete stationery addict, so this sounds great!
The surprise element and I love good stationery
love stationary – these are so nice
I love the idea of this! Different kinds of stationery every month would be very exiting 🙂
I think this is a brilliant idea! I love stationary and think this would be lovely to receive every month! Something to look forward to 🙂 x
I love stationery so this would be amazing!
Having my stationery addiction fed with these great boxes every month!
I already have 2 monthly subscription boxes but I do love getting random surprises through the post so could probably be tempted by one of these…
the think i like is the surprise of getting the stationary
I’ve just bought a gift subscription for my sil. Hope she likes it!
What an amazing idea! I love stationery, and have boxes of tape, writing paper and stickers I bought in Japan. This would encourage me to send more snail mail 🙂
love the variety
I love the choice of items.
I really like the variety and the surprise of not knowing what’s coming through the letterbox!
I think its a lovely idea and I like that they are themed and it is something to look forward to.
Everything!!! I love stationery and pretty things like this really calls to me. I have seen a few stationery-style boxes around and it’s difficult to decide which one to go for. I would love to win as it would help me make a decision. Thank you for hosting this fab giveaway 🙂 xx
It looks great! I love the idea of having a surprise through my letter box every month and I love stationery so it would be great for me! x x x
I love that it’s always stuff that you can use
I like the idea of receiving it every month and with new products in it will encourage me and my children to create and make more
I’ve always liked getting new stationary!
Receiving lovely stationery every week
This looks so cute!! Maybe it might help my stationary spending each month as well 🙂
Receiving something nice through the post really brightens up my day. I like the variety of #Paperhaul and love that there is a different theme each month.
I like the element of surprise but knowing I’d have a supply of lovely cards for birthdays or just to sent as day brightener to someone, plus the challenge of deciding what to make with the craft items.
This is a lovely selection of different cards etc that would be ideal for any occasion.
i would love the variety each week
It looks fun, I would enjoy receiving this
Brilliant idea and you can’t have enough stationary, besides I wouldn’t keep hold of them for long my daughter would have them away she loves anything like this. Beautiful designs and looks like it comes with everything you would need! x
Being a snail mail enthusiast I adore the concept of this .. a perfect monthly gift through the post. The price makes it an affordable monthly treat.
I love that it owuld keep my daughter out of mischief as she loves stuff like this x
I love the variety offered.
I’m a bit of an OCD and stationery geek so this subscription is like a dream to me! I am already obsessed with anything unique stationery wise so it feels like a birthday present looking at this!
The super cute designs!
I love stationary and I love surprises! What a great combo!
Anything that inspires some creativity has to be good
I have always been obsessed with stationary – I have no idea why and now I have passed the obsession onto my teenage daughter.
They’re lovely!! I love mail – both sending and receiving, and surprise mail is even better! 🙂
The design quality – of the typography used and the illustrations used. Also the colour printing quality. It’s all first rate looking.
Receiving a mystery box of pretty paper etc sounds pretty exciting to me 🙂
It all looks so pretty and would be exciting to receive every month.
what appeals is the opportunity to try things I perhaps wouldn’t usually treat myself too…
I would say the surprise element!
i love stationary!
Getting a surprise in the post of stationary I might not have seen otherwise 🙂
I love stationery so this concept sounds great
I adore all stationery!!
The contents of that box make me so excited!
Wondering what you are going to get
I love the idea of the items being a surprise each month.
Because a few of my friends live overseas and we alway write to each other and this would make my letters more happy
I love the variety of products you get each month!
I adore stationary, notebooks and pens, I find it hard to walk past any of them without cooing and oohhing. This would help curb my impulses, okay, okay it will help feed my addiction!
Thanks for the chance to win a great prize & good luck all!
It sounds like something new & exciting 🙂
I love paper craft and these designs are so pretty so this prize really appeals to me
getting a surprise stationery bundle – heaven
I am a stationery addict! And I also enjoy scrapbooking and card making so this would be just perfect!
I like boxes like this as when it comes to buying items I need I never know which to go for, with these boxes, you get a nice surprise and no need to stand looking in the shop for ages, deciding what to buy.
I love stationery & a subscription service would identify lots of new quirky items to try
I absolutely love stationery and this is the perfect way to try out some new bits and pieces, also I think this would make a really lovely gift idea 🙂
I love stationary especially writing sets and having surprises = great combo!
I’m a stationary nut and this would go a long way to indulging my obsession!
Like you I love the idea of the surprise, but equally love to stroke and choose my stationery myself. I haven’t heard of this company before, I will have to have a nosey!
I love the idea of different stationery that I wouldn’t necessarily have chosen myself 🙂
my daughter loves stationary, she is always writing cards and letters
Trying different things I wouldnt normally buy
I like the surprise element of the stationery boxes
I LOVE all stationary and now my daughter does too. This giveaway looks fab. x
This set looks fab
I’ve been thinking about Paperhaul for a while, but not quite been brave enough to try it. Looks like you got a really nice summer-themed haul! What a great incentive to send some cards to your faraway friends 🙂
It would be fun to have some new things to try. I always feel guilty taking too much time browsing in stores.
I like the idea of getting unusual stationery as the stationery shops near me sell the same old stuff. I would hope they would choose products from small companies/designers.
I like the idea that you get to try different stationary which you might not possible choose yourself 🙂
GREAT FOR CRAFTING
The surprise element!
The postcards and the co-ordianation of the packs
My collectors instinct is going wild for this! Altho I’d probably end up thinking everything was way too nice to use!!
I love stationery and I love the designs.
a fun delivery through the door
#Paperhaul seems like a really good way to try out new products each month 🙂
I love surprises in the post, and I love stationery so this is brilliant for me!
Looks like a nice prize for my teen to get into craft.
I love stationary and it’s exciting thinking of surprises coming through the post every month for me to experiment with
I love stationery 🙂
I HAVE SUCH A THING ABOUT NICE STATIONARY – THIS WOULD BE A LOVELY SURPRISE
The lovely designs!
I love the sound of this because I love cute stationery
It sounds really good fun
love the idea of this!
This is such a lovely idea…I was not aware of it until I read urblog! like everyone else here I love the real deal of paper pens pencils…I so much prefer writing and receiving snail mail compared to email. at the moment I’m addicted to Charles Renee macintosh stationary..and being from Scotland there is many different styles and qualities available… anyway thank for foe the lovely comp and good luck everyone
my daughter would love ti
I love good quaity paper goods and these seem to fit the bill brilliantly. Also it is great to have cards “in hand” for those unexpected or nearly forgotten occasions
The appeal for me is I love getting a surprise and it would make me think outside the box by having to come up with projects based on resources, rather than the other way round!
i love paper craft and who doesnt like goodies in the post
Would be great to get a stationery haul each week
Apart from loving pretty stationery, I love it that they make donations to Postpals, which is a charity I support, too, by taking part in their “monthly projects”
I love the element of surprise. Not knowing what you’re going to get makes receiving and opening so exciting – like an extra birthday gift at another time of year!
Some new goodies every month
OOOH I would write to people every day !
