There were delays last month, so my box was shipped on November 28th and arrived December 9th. November’s theme is obviously Harry Potter, I love the design on the box with the Hogwarts Houses!
OVERVIEW OF CONTENTS
There is a themed contents card included each month that outlines the items in the box.
The reverse always features artwork based on the theme – this is a lovely moody look at the Hogwarts castle under Dementor patrol. I like sticking up these cards at my desk at work, I have a few from this box on display at the moment. 🙂
Something a little different this month – the items were wrapped in a letter from Hogwarts. 😉
Snitch Soap from Bamber Botanicals: that is a clever bit of packaging, putting the Snitch wings on the plastic. But looking at the Etsy shop this is from, I do wish the actual soap itself had been designed to look like the Snitch, as there are some intricately designed soaps sold by the same person. Still, I appreciate the inclusion of a useful non-accessory item, following on from the candle in last month’s box, so this is neat.
Lightning Bolt Earrings (on Estsy for £2.50 or $4.22 AUD): The cardboard backing that the earrings are sent on had these odd dust marks on them – not sure why, and it does take away from the presentation, but the earrings themselves are in pristine condition.
Wrap Style Bracelet: (on Estsy for £4 or $6.75 AUD; also on Aliexpress for about $1 USD). This is a lovely bracelet, and one I like a lot, especially as I already have a similar version! It’s very cute with the owl, Snitch and Deathly Hallows charms. ❤
Closer look at the details on this bracelet – I think the leather braiding is a cool touch!
Charm Necklace (on ebay for $9.49 USD or $12.74 AUD; also on etsy for £20.40 or $34.44). This is definitely the hero item of the box! I haven’t seen a necklace like this before that’s so laden with charms!
There’s tons of gorgeous details here, so much to look at!
I might be wrong, but I believe these are from left to right: the Mirror of Erised, Hufflepuff’s Cup, Slytherin’s Locket, a Snitch and the Sorting Hat. That last makes me snicker, look at the grumpy look on the Hat’s face!
These are the Deathly Hallows, a lightning bolt, Ravenclaw’s Diadem, a reference to Snape’s devotion to Lily, a Death Eater tattoo and Tom Riddle’s Diary (after it’s been stabbed with Gryffindor’s Sword, given its condition).

INSTAGRAM GIVEAWAY
Ever since I reached the 1000+ follower milestone on instagram, I’ve been thinking about doing a giveaway. I actually have another bigger one planned, but haven’t sorted out all the details yet, so this will be my first!
I’ve greatly enjoyed my subscription to Geek {Chic} Monthly, but have regretfully had to cancel as it’s too expensive for Australians. This box was lovely, but I either have similar jewelry already or it doesn’t suit my personal style, so it makes for the perfect giveaway! One lucky follower will receive all the items pictured above. 😀
