The February 2024 Cloth & Paper theme was Ivy Lee Method, which I had never heard of but which helps you prioritize your top 6 tasks each day. When you start your subscription you will indicate which size planner you own (there are 11 options to choose from) and you can add on the Penspiration Box to receive some pretty amazing writing utensils.

Planning + Stationery Box

Everything in the Planning + Stationery Box!

Here’s the card that shows each item in the box along with a description.

Vegan Leather Dust Bag This is the second month in a row that has featured a vegan bag with pebbled texture that holds all of the items. After unboxing it can be used to hold makeup, pens, etc.

Ivy Lee Method Planner Inserts I have never heard of the Ivy Lee Method, which is yet another reason why I like this subscription, they introduce organizing concepts that I’m not aware of and that I enjoy learning about. The very last page of this insert demonstrated how to put this to use, but the basic idea is to choose six tasks you need to complete the next day, list them in order of importance, then get up in the morning and work on each one until they are finished.

A New Era Dashboard The Dashboards are printed on heavy duty cardstock and can be used to separate areas of the planner.

Photostrip Bookmark and Toi-Meme Bookmark are what you would expect, with the Photostrip one feeling almost like a photo negative from the days when we used to have film in our cameras.

Ivy Lee Method Sticky Note Show me the Ivy Lee Method, but make it smaller and sticky.

Moments Sticky Note Set These sticky notes are on matte paper and one is subdued while the other is spicy.

Stencil + Ruler is 5″ long and is made of metal, it’s pretty sturdy. There are spaces so you can stencil a line, square, or circle and you can place sticky flags along the side.

April 2024 Pop-Up Calendar is here two months in advance so it will be ready to go when the time comes.

Assorted Pen Set Your pens may vary but the pen on top writes in black ink and is erasable (that’s an eraser on the other end) and the pink pen has pink ink with a chisel side for highlighting, and a fine point for underlining.

Reflection Prompt Card Our monthly mirrored prompt card reminds us to take one step at a time.

Penspiration Box

Subscribers may purchase the Penspiration Box in addition to the Planning & Stationery Box. Here’s all of the items in that box!

The Calendar Card is undated so you can use it whenever you wish.

The Pen Test Sheet is on the left and it lists the pens/pencils/highlighters that came in the add-on. You can see them swatched below. The Journaling Prompt Card is on the right and has space for you to write in an answer to the thought-provoking question.

Sticky Notes The bonus item this month was a set of oblong sticky notes, and the one on top is transparent!

Set Of Pens & Marker These are the pens that I received this month. I’m always impressed with the pens that I receive from Cloth & Paper!

I found one more item in my box, I’m guessing it might be a bonus for the Planning + Stationery box? It’s a pen that writes in white ink!

I had never heard of the Ivy Lee Method until I received my February box from Cloth & Paper! I was surprised to see a pebbled bag when I opened the box, but it looks so good and is perfect for holding planning supplies and more. I learned about the Ivy Lee Method, which is basically making a plan to tackle six to-do list items each day. The pens are always welcome, I think they always look cool and write so smoothly. The ruler with stencil cutouts was pretty neat, and all of the other items, such as sticky notes, are basics that I reach for again and again. I am hoping that they continue sending those pebbled bags (spoiler alert – there’s one coming in March!) and I always enjoy learning new ways to plan with the helpful themes and curated products.
