Very nice box. The books are very good quality and content. Their customer service is awesome too.
I love the novel, I received a dot to dot which I haven’t done in many years, I’m having so much fun with it, and a coloring book and colored pencils. Had an issue with shipping which I’m assuming happened after it left you guys, some kind of cleaner broke on my package in transit. The corners of the coloring book were stuck together, and the red tissue paper adhered to the back of the dot to dot book. The novel was somehow unscathed which I was very happy about. I had to throw the lollipop I received out because it had a lovely pine scent. 😆 I don’t assume this happens often, and the damage was minimal compared to what I thought it would be when I first saw the package, so I did not send a complaint or return to sender. I’m excited to see my next shipment because it looks like it was packaged very nicely initially!

Love my first shipment. Actual books to keep my focus and just a great price for quality
This is a great box for so many reasons! The value is incredible. One high quality hardback novel, a puzzle/activity book, and a coloring book. First shipment contains a set of colored pencils, This shipment also contained a handwritten note and a small lollipop. I just really love the variety without a hefty price tag. I would recommend this box to anyone who likes to do different types of activities but doesn't want a lot of fluff or trinkets.
I obviously haven't utilized any of my box yet as it just was delivered two hours ago, but I'm so ridiculously impressed by how my first box was assembled that I want everyone to know how great it was.
The handwritten quote was a great surprise and I'm so excited to start reading my book (nonfiction selection...about Russia) that I never would have bought myself but totally intrigued by, so I'm very happy.
I thought this would have been a one-off thing for me, but I already can't wait for next month to arrive. Thanks so much for this. This is my first subscription box ever and I'm glad I chose this one!
Loved it!!! It just took too long to get it’ll
So far, month 1, I am disappointed. I sent this to my dad for his birthday. He got 2 coloring books and no activity book. He was already less than thrilled about the gift when I first told him, but I think he was excited about the activity book. Instead he got 1 coloring book, and 1 “black board” coloring book... basically a coloring book with a black background instead of white.
Never got january box and was charged and they dont answer will have to cancel
My first box was impressive! I received a book that I had on my TBR list--so excited to read it! The Sibley Bird coloring book isn't really my thing, but the illustrations are gorgeous. I looking forward to playing with the Dot-to-Dot book. I was hoping to get the colored pencils, but it must have been added after I purchased the subscription. I'm really impressed with the quality and types of products, and am eagerly awaiting my next box, but it has been preparing for shipment for almost the entire month. I hope it wasn't overlooked. All in all, I'm very pleased and will most likely resub Thanks so very much!
I'm really pleased with my first box. I received a hard cover book from an author that's new to me. It's in my chosen genre and it looks really interesting. I also received a great quality hard cover coloring book with great illustrations. Lastly, I received a connect the numbers drawing book. Would recommend this box.
Love the personal note 😍
I loved my first box except the description at cratejoy said I would receive colored pencils with my first order. I got the “in the shadow of Frankenstein” hardback a intricate dot to dot book and a cool field guide coloring book. It was pretty quick to ship which was awesome too. I wanted horror as my genre and I had not read this classic before so perfect. I was forced to decrease my score because of the missed items
Hi Holly, I am so glad you loved your box. We literally just began including colored pencils in everyone's first order on Friday 11/15 so you must have subscribed just before we began placing them in the new subscriber's boxes. We will of course be happy to send you some! Thank you for subscribing and have a great week!
I had posted a review in which there was a misunderstanding - apparently there was a shipping mix up. But the quality of the books was wonderful and I enjoyed the dot to dot book and bird journal.
I have never ordered any kind of "crate/surprise" box before. I was really intrigued by this title " Coloring & Classics" thinking "this one fits me.
Now I am in my 40's battling depression so coloring & reading are my go to's!!!! Perfect fit here!
I got this great box within 10 days, I opened it up ( neat box too) & LOVED everything in there! There was a very nice hard cover "on the edge of your seat mystery/thriller" ( worth $27.00), a fantastic hard covered/easel like bird coloring book, & an adult activity book , to hard for little ones to do.
I am extremely impressed with my Coloring & Classics box for $ 14.00 a month. You honestly can't get a better deal than this. Give this great box a try! You won't be sorry. You'll just be waiting to see " What's in the next package??"

I love this box. Looking at each book brings a smile to my face.
I got my second box and it’s as wonderful as the first.
I love the coloring and activity books, but the novels were disappointing. I couldn’t even finish the first two. I love reading and will read almost anything, but they dragged a bit for me. I just received my last box and am hoping it will be better.
This box is amazing!!! I did not get an activity book, but I got 4 small coloring books and a large one which I absolutely love!!! So worth the money and I plan to try this one out again!!!
I just received my second box and I'm so amazed! I received coloring books and a book to read. This will not only keep me busy for hours, but they are so awesome to color! Completely love this box! I can't wait for next month!
I just recieved my first of 3 boxes, I loved this box. The book is definitely one I will read and the activity and coloring book are so awesome! Great box for the money!
I just received my first box and I am very happy! I'm a few chapters into the book (horror genre) and so far, so good. The coloring book is very nice and the puzzle book is a crossword book for lefties; and even though I'm a "righty" it's been very enjoyable! I didn't get the self-help flash card but that's a new thing for them so it may come in the next box. I am so excited about this box and can't wait to get the next one! (It arrived sooner than the tracking date given which was a definite bonus!) Oh, btw, their Facebook page has some motivational and funny posts. I will be recommending this box to friends.
I was really surprised at how fast my package arrived! I got a crossword puzzle book, a really beautiful coloring book and a novel. Although I asked for non-fiction, the book that I was sent (The Summer that Melted Everything) sounds like something I would enjoy! Really excited to dive into all of these!
I really think this box has potential. I received 1 large coloring book with a vogue theme which is cool since I do fashion unboxings. 2 reasons I didn't rate the box a 5 is 1 I have 2 black dots on both ends of my book which appears to be marker. Also think it would be nice to include coloring utensils.
I hope the books selected get a little more modern
Hi Debbie, apologies for letting you down. When you say "modern" books do you mean 2019? If we sent current books we could never provide our Coloring and Classics box at such a great price. Most of our books are from 2017 and 2018 but they are all brand new, unused books. If you look up each month's box contents online you will see most months the box contents are worth over $40 if you had to buy them separately. If I can do anything to be of service please don't hesitate to email me, I am at your convenience.
The coffee is AMAZING!! I colored 2 pictures right away last night and I plan on starting the book tonight. The box did come in damaged, and the bag of coffee was pretty smashed up though. Thankfully, the books were not damaged! Interested to see what the next box contains, hopefully some seasonal items!!!
Hi Amanda, Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so sorry your box was damaged, I promise it didn't leave our warehouse that way! Please email us if any of the contents were damaged in anyway, we are happy to replace it immediately.
The coloring book and activity book are beautiful and I love them. The book was a little disappointing- the third in a trilogy? I'll give it a try anyway.
Hi Megan,
Oh no! Apologies, we sent the wrong book! I'll have a new book shipped out to you tomorrow. Thank you for being a subscriber and for being so good natured!
