Book Hooked Box Unboxing - It Is Here (May Box)

 

Book Hooked Box is a UK-based bi-monthly YA book subscription box that includes five items as well as a new YA release.


The theme of the May box was 

It Is Here

 

 

Here's what was inside . . .

 

A flower-themed treat from Gardners Cookies which is vegan and looks delicious.

A hot chocolate stirrer from Pendragon Drinks.




A candle inspired by the book of the month from Bookworm Candles. This is a 4oz candle that is handpoured, has an autumnal scent and floral toppings.

Vegan body polish from Ascent Bath & Body, which is a three-in-one whipped soap, sugar scrub and moisturiser. I love the bronze colour.



The book of the month was The Forest of Stolen Girls by June Hur. This came with a letter from the author, a signed bookplate and a bookmark from Felfira Moon Designs.



 Here's everything all together . . .

 


I specifically got this box because I knew what the book would be and it's one that I really want to read. However, I'm really happy with everything else in the box (although I can't have the marshmallows in the chocolate stirrer as they have gelatine). The candle is gorgeous and I'm looking forward to eating the flower biscuit.
