Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well and staying safe during this difficult time. Over the last week or so, I've been doing my best to self-isolate when possible, especially since I'm still going to work and will be until they close schools. Nevertheless, I'm trying to make the most of this extra time at home and thought I'd catch up on some blogging as well as rebuilding a skincare routine, clearing out my wardrobe (again) and doing things I'm always saying I don't have time for.
But today, I'm unboxing this month's Papergang box which has been designed by print designer, Jennifer Bourbon.
Inside The March Papergang Box...
Ballpoint Pen & Sticky Notes
The first two things in the box this month are these sticky notes which have a faint pink grid pattern all over it as well as some of Jennifer's beautiful illustrations on the top corner. We have 100 sticky notes here which will last me quite a while. I use sticky notes all the time and I like these especially because they're wider and I'm more of a fan of the rectangular sticky note as opposed to shaped or squared ones.
We also received this gorgeous pink eggshell pen which writes beautifully in black gel ink. I prefer gel ink as opposed to regular biro pens because I feel like it looks neater and bolder. This pen has found a permanent place in my pencil case and I've been reaching for it often over the last couple of weeks.
Wiro Lined Notebook
This is the second time we receive a spiral-bound notebook in the Papergang boxes and I'm so excited about it. This time, the notebook is simply lined which makes it much more versatile for everyday use. I love a good lined notebook and recently, I gravitate more to spiral-bound notebooks as they're easier to use without bending pages and ruining the book completely. On top of that, the pattern and colour of the notebook inside match the outer cover perfectly with the patterns following through each page and neutral coloured pages instead of classic white which is a nice change for a notebook.

Cotton Geometric Tote Bag
The most exciting thing to come out of this month's box has got to be this tote bag. I've heard that Papergang has done tote bags in the past but this is the first one that I've received. I absolutely adore the design on this and I use tote bags all the time so they come in really handy. Since getting this bag, I've used it so many times and has now become my 'shopping-for-essentials' shopping bag.
I really liked this month's box and I think the design is so pretty and one that I feel a lot of people will really like too because it's such a versatile design. I love Jennifer Bourbon's work and I can't wait to check out her Instagram, follow her and see what else she's up to at the moment.
I've also just seen a sneak peek of April's box and there are multiple designs!? I'm confused but I like it. I think I'd like to see a pencil case in a box soon as well as some more brush pens and things like that. I really like writing tools... OH! And maybe a little storage tin or something for my USB sticks and SD cards... I need a little something to put them in because they're currently loose in a tray in one of my desk drawers! What would you like to see in a future Papergang box?
