Papergang – November 2018

New stationary is always a lovely treat, and Papergang is a great way to increase your stash of lovely paper and stationery items! Papergang works with a different artist each month to produce a range of items featuring their work. A monthly subscription costs £10.95 + 2.95 p+p.

This month’s box is moving into the festive season. The pattern on the box sleeve is featured on the items this month. Aren’t the scarf-wearing squirrels lovely?

Extra bonus: there’s a cut out and create Christmas tree on the other side of the sleeve!

Everything’s wrapped in tissue.

Here’s the menu booklet. There are RRPs for all the items, plus an interviewer with this month’s designer.

Here are the cards and gift tags. And yes, they’re Christmas cards! Or holiday cards if you want to be fussy.

The gift tags would go very well with the next item.

Not one but two sheets of giftwrap. As always, the giftwrap is made from recycled paper, and is nice and thick, great quality. My only slight sadness is that the paper is folded, so you can see the creases. But it would be impossible to send it rolled, so it’s not a big deal at all.

Here’s the washi tape. It’s a really cute and simple design, it would look very nice with plain white wrapping paper as well.

The A5 notepad is just the right size for a to-do list. If you’re someone who like to write out your holiday planning, this is absolutely perfect!

This month there isn’t a calendar sheet, instead we have two wish lists (perfect for Christmas presents!) and a postcard that really made me chuckle.

After last month’s excellent box, I’m so happy this is another fantastic one! I love everything, and the cards are great motivation to get my Christmas card list sorted out ahead of time.

The squirrel design is really lovely, it’s festive but doesn’t have to be specifically Christmas, the paper could easily be used for a winter birthday present as well.

The bear and fox patterns are equally appealing, and all in all I’m very impressed.
