For me, one of the best moments of purchasing a product is the opening of the package. Again, for me, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PRESENTATION. That is an important part of my experience and keeps me coming back for more. Cocoa Daisy does NOT disappoint! Upon opening the box, this is what I saw . . . “Enjoy Every Day” stamped on a fabric bag surrounded by shredded paper. Ahhhhhh . . . it was lovely.
Normally, the kit comes in a paper bag. However, this month it came in a fabric bag and there was a packaging change announcement inside. Love, love, love that. By the way, that’s Simon. He’s a planner nerd and isn’t he just adorable?
Next, I pulled the bag out of the box. I seeeee something rouuuund. It kind of looks like it might by washi tape. Hmmm.
The July kit has a nautical theme – the colors are blue, red and orange. The contents of the kit are:
• 32 double sided daily to do pages
• 1 double sided month tab page
• 5 double sided week in review pages
• 5 double sided weekly overview pages
• 1 3×5 exclusive notepad
• 1 5×7 exclusive planner sticker sheet
• a red and white striped pouch
• washi tape
• exclusive cork stars and geotags
• tags and tabs
• anchor clips
• a sheet of tags from Evalicious
• and an AHOY charm
Here are some closeups of some of the contents:
A cellophane bag contains cork stars and geotags (they seem awfully thick to me for putting in a planner – we’ll see) and K&Company Smash washi tape.
Anchor notepad, planner sticker sheet, and a sheet of Evalicious Snip Snip tags (you have to fussy cut these, and use adhesive – they are not stickers).
Month tab, weekly overview (I call this week-on-one-page), week in review (I call this week-on-two-pages), and daily to-do pages. I am not using the daily to-do pages as much as I thought I would. I have some family get togethers coming up, so I’ll see if I use them for that. I like the glasses at the bottom of the to-do pages – they help you keep track of how much water you drink (something I’m trying to do a better job of this summer).
There’s a cellophane bag (the kind we used to put our sandwiches in, lol) that holds some the smaller things. There’s just something about them that I really like – they’re almost clear, they make a crinkling noise when you touch them . . . all about the user experience, lol. Inside it are the Ahoy charm (I am such a sucker for these – I’m up to three on my current planner), two anchor clips, two Fancy Pants Making Waves tags with strings attached, and three tabs.
Last but not least, is this awesome red and white nautical striped pouch. The original description was for a navy and white pouch, but honestly, I am not in any way disappointed with the red. I am lovin’ it!
In the next post, I will show you how I used everything in my Planner.
The Sneak Peak for next month: Macaroons – I can hardly wait!!!
