Cloth & Paper had a book-lovers theme for August! If you are new to this box then know that they have a few different subscription options, and you can choose planner sizes based on the planner you use at home or work. This is a review of their Penspiration AND Planning + Stationery combo, which is $54.99 a month and drops to as low as $49.99 a month when you choose the 6-month term. This is the August box, and they send calendar cards etc. two months in advance, so you’re never behind or have to worry about getting those supplies late.

Planning + Stationery Box

October 2022 Vertical Weekly Sunday Start Inserts, Refreshed Layout One of these monthly inserts will be in the remaining boxes for this year. It comes well in advance of when I’ll need it, so although this box arrived in September (it shipped in late August), nothing inside was out of date when received. It has space for goals, important dates, a month-at-a-glance, and daily boxes. The orchid on the front is simple yet elegant.

Bibliophile Insert Bundle This bundle is perfect for those who like to delve deeper into their literary experiences. Some of the sections are Reading Log, Monthly Reads, Book Log, Index, Vocabulary, and Wishlist. There’s 39 pages in all.

Novella Dashboard Duo The Dashboard duo has two pieces of sturdy paper and the pieces can be layered together.

Sticky Notes The idea here is to note how many pages you read in a session but I’m more likely to divide the pages in a book by how many days until it’s due and work from there.

Sophrosyne Card, Good Books QC, Annotation Card, and October CC The annotation card has tips on how to read actively so you can remember more content as you go along. The two cards at the top are for journaling, while the calendar card is self-explanatory.

Luxe Page Flags are a pretty cool way to mark pages you wish to return to again and again (which is most likely to happen to me when I’m perusing a cookbook).

Everyday Carry All This mini bag has a removable pouch and several mini pockets and while it can be used to hold page flags and pens it can also be used to hold cosmetics or other purse/backpack/briefcase essentials.

Highlighter Set Here we have a set of 6 dual-tipped highlighters and one side is thin while the other has a broader strike.

Penspiration Box

The Penspiration Box is its own subscription but you can also have it shipped with the Planning + Stationery Box.

I received a Pen Test Sheet, A Journaling Card, and an undated Calendar Card.

I also received some Duo Sticky Notes which have a mini graph on the side!

I received 5 pens, and you can read more about them on the Cloth & Paper website, look for their Subscription Unboxing blog. All of the pens this month come with black ink, a 0.5mm conical rollerball nib, and are retractable. Please note that I wrote “September” when testing the pens but this is the August box (but it usually shows up early in the following month).

Well, I am well stocked on highlighters this month thanks to Cloth & Paper! I liked the page flags, I can always use more of those. The book bundle insert seems like a great way to delve deeper into my reading adventures (I really enjoyed seeing a place to mark new vocabulary — I just read Eleanor Oliphant and found several new words throughout the book). The Duo sticky notes in the Penspiration box will help me keep track of various tasks I have going on this month.

Below you will find the product info card from the Planning + Stationery Box plus some more box opening pictures.
