August 2015 Planner Addict Subscription Box Review

The Planner Addict Box is a new monthly subscription box for planner nerds. The box is filled with planner products you can use for any type of planner. You can expect products from well-known designers such as Heidi Swapp, American Crafts, Amy Tangerine, and some Planner Addict Box exclusives. If you don’t already know, decorating your planner is a “thing.” It’s sort of a cross between journaling, scrapbooking, and of course, keeping your schedule.

Cute presentation!

I’m seeing these more frequently in subscriptions – cute Instagram ready cards to fill out, snap, and share.  I am personally very creative when I write a review of a planner decorating subscription box because I’m sort of terrible at planner decorating!

The information card has a Polyvore-esque information card!

Plus details on every item in the box!

Everything in the August Planner Addict Box!

Heidi Swapp Envelopes  ($6.15) Four really pretty envelopes that you can place in your planner (either with washi or one of those Erin Condren attachment things) to hold bits and bobs. I have a mind to use that last one to save a curl from baby’s hair. The package actually calls these envelope pages, and says they are for your memory planner. I think it’s safe to say that this form of journaling/scrapbooking is a new crafting genre in its own right.

American Crafts Plus One Collection Notecards ($1.30) Pretty and trendy! 4 notecards with accompanying envelopes. I didn’t expect these but it’s nice to be encouraged to get out of the planner and send a nice note!

American Crafts Amy Tangerine Details Shaped Paperclips ($4.99)

Heidi Swapp Flag Paper Clips ($2.99)

These seem like a significant number of paper clips! Does anyone use that many in a planner? These are super cute and I love the glitter flag!

Cute designs!

Studio Calico Tiny Type Word Stickers ($1.99)

American Crafts Shimelle Pen ($2)

We R Memory Keepers Washi Tape ($2)

Chiclets

Items cute for journaling, scrapbooking, etc, plus some gum! A total aside, but if you have the We R Memory Keepers Washi Tape Dispenser, apparently you can get a stackable post to stack two of them!

Heidi Swapp Pocket Cards: ($4.62) When I saw these at first I thought they were really more for pocket scrapbooking like Project Life because of the pocket card style, but if you take a look at them they’re based on the week along with to-do lists. You can really use them for either!

A fun way to give either weekly highlights or daily details!

I did a super basic layout using some of the items in the box (this is my Erin Condren landscape view planner). Don’t laugh at me! I like to decorate my planner sometimes but not all the time.

I thought this box had a nice value for paper crafting at $26 in items.  I hadn’t expected it to be so “scrapbooky” in nature (I was sort of expecting more of the custom stickers that you can use to decorate your pages as a shorthand for what you’re doing that day), but this was fun too. I think how you feel about the box depends on how you decorate your planner! Based on the August 2015 Planner Addict Box, I expect it to be best for someone that is using it as a “memory planner.” I think anyone who is into this would have known this by the list of manufacturers included (I’m pretty clueless, but I know you guys are super excited about these planner subscriptions!). FYI – there’s a waitlist on this box currently. Visit the site to find out more about how to get on it!
