Definitely not worth the money! Already cancel subscription!
I love this box! The value of everything is more than the cost of the pack, so great bargain.
I liked it and will use them soon.
I have been a very happy customer directly through the paletteful website for almost a year now. I LOVE THEIR BOXES! Each month comes with a thoughtfully curated set of art supplies that provide many options. They are hands down my favorite of all the different art supply boxes I get. They actually pick great, well-known favorites instead of feeling like they went shopping at a closeout bin store. You get full-sized products that not only are fun when they arrive but they become part of your permanent collection!! Posca markers, acrylic paints, a WONDERFUL anniversary set of Micron pens, Winsor Newton watercolors, Ecoline, Daniel Smith, Koi, Stonehenge aqua and MANY, many more awesome brands. Keep up the great work! I always get excited around the 8th of the month when I know my box will be here! Thank you!! Lindsay
A great box full of high quality art supplies for the beginner to professional level artist looking to expand their collection and try out new mediums. Excellent customer service from the company as well. I was missing one small item in my box that I just wanted to let them no about as a heads up and really it was no big deal (a pencil sharpener) and they made sure it was included in my next months box with a personal note apologizing for the inconvenience.
My daughter is an artist, I bought this box for her for Christmas and paid for three months. She was extremely happy she said everything was high-quality, she was thrilled to get it every month, and I’m hoping she’ll come back and by yourself three more months. I highly recommend this box.
Such a great self care gift!
I subscribed to the quarterly subscription. I wasn't sure whether I'd get different items than the monthly subscribers. For anyone with the same question, it turns out you get the regular monthly box for whichever month your quarterly subscription happens to fall on. I subscribed in January, so I got the February box and will presumably get the May box next. My initial impression was that we didn't get much stuff - some black pens, three brush pens and a little notebook. But as I dug in, I realized I was really wrong. The Micron pens are amazing, and I'm really enjoying the huge variety of nibs and the versatility that creates, and with drawing plants the brush pens blend and complement the illustrations very well. It's been pretty meditative to practice drawing succulents and other plants with bold elements and fine detail work and then layer and blend color on top. I'll get a ton of use out of everything in the box and can't wait for May.
I was super excited to try this box but was a little bit underwhelmed when i reveived my first and second box. On the first one, i didn't save any money. I paid exactly for what i got. On the second, ibsavec 1,50$. So it is not really worth it. I would prefer it if it was an actual bargain. I can go to my local store, buy the same things, choose what i want, and pay the same price.
Hi Stephanie,
I'm sorry you didn't especially enjoy your box. We do try to offer the best value we can and each box has a higher retail value than what you pay for the box. We understand, however, that in some cases, items can be found individually for less. If a customer already knows what they want to buy, it is probably best to buy it from their local art supply store (please support independent local art stores!), but if they want a curated experience, the chance to try something new, and a surprise, then Paletteful Packs is the way to go.
Charged my account on the 8th of March for a Palettefull Packs $35.00 monthly account. Today is the 30th, and I still have not received this box. It is still “being prepped”.
I joined this store bscription for my daughter who loves to create art after reviewing lots of comments. I might have to look elsewhere if it takes this long to ship a box, sorry.
Hi Tracy,
We’ll reach out to you directly, but per our FAQ and the check-out confirmation, boxes ship at the same time each month. The April box which you ordered ships around April 1st. The May box around June 1st, the June box around July 1st, etc. Sorry for the confusion. Your April box will be shipping shortly.
I received my first box recently and I was very happy with it. Worth your time!
My niece loves the supplies. As soon as they arrive, she’s engaged for hours. A great gift for a young artist.
I bought this as a gift for my very artistic aunt. She made beautiful projects and mailed to them to us and other family. It was a great way to keep us connected.
She really enjoyed the diversity and high quality of the supplies she received every month.
My first box contained 3 Primatex watercolors, masking, a travel palette (very nice), a Sterling round brush, and a pad of 5.5 x 8.5 paper. It's a lovely group, lacking only a plastic water cup and the water. :-) I think it's worth a bit more than the price I paid, but more importantly I wouldn't have bought it for myself. I buy the same old things, and I subscribed so that I'd get poked in my complaisance. It worked!
I have not liked either of the boxes I have received .....Plus I have been trying to UNSUBSCRIBE and have not been able to do so......It would be nice to NOT get any more of these boxes Paletteful Packs was a huge mistake for me ...

Hi Linda,
I am sorry you didn't like the two boxes you received. The theme varies from month to month. We try to pick items we think everyone will enjoy, but realize that artists do have varying preferences. One might be thrilled with markers, while another prefers watercolor. You can cancel under your account settings (it looks like you ended up doing so) or email us directly and we are happy to take care of it for you.
Love it, great product and fun to try new supplies!
I am not sure what I am supposed to do with this box its very confusing. I thought I got the premium subscription but, this box is lacking inventory.
The boxes I've received have been wonderful! I love this subscription, and I am looking forward to all future boxes!
Kind of disappointed. Just had some pens and a few markers. Everything would have cost less a la carte on Amazon. Will wait for the next couple of boxes to see if they're better.
Ek was so excited to get this. She couldn’t wait to tell me how much she loved everything. I bought the petite pack but may need to change to the full size young artist. She’s 11.
I was disappointed by the box, unfortunately, because I was looking forward to it and what it had to offer. I don’t recommend getting it.
I’m not saying this subscription company is bad, but for my very first box I was not impressed with what arrived whatsoever. From their past boxes I was pretty hyped about it. I read all of the reviews both bad and good prior to ordering and since the majority of their reviews were good I thought the box would be brimming with exciting stuff! Yeah, that didn’t happen!! I received a box brimming with disappointment. I received 2 double-sided pens, a pack of 10 black felt tip pens (0.15mm-0.7mm), and a notebook. That’s it folks... I almost threw away the 2 double side pens by accident because there was so much shredded paper in my box I had overlooked them. The notebook has nice art on the cover and the pens are good quality.
However I was expecting more color variations/varieties and actually even more product variations. The pens were basically the same pen per se, just different diameters and all of mine were the same color minus 2.
The notebook paper isn’t the best of quality either and the binding of my notebook was already coming undone. I’m glad I did a one time box instead of a subscription, because I did not find the contents of the box to be worthy of a subscription to be honest.
Great! My 7 year old grandson loved them!
I’m disappointed.
I’m not saying this company is bad, but for my first box I’m pretty disappointed with what arrived.
From their past boxes I was pretty excited. And I read the bad reviews before I ordered. Because most of their reviews are good I thought it would be great!
But I’m just disappointed. I’ll wait and see what next month’s box is before I cancel my subscription at least.
I got 3 green double-sided pens, a pack of 10 black felt tip pens (0.15mm-0.7mm), and a notebook.
The notebook art is pretty, and the pens are good quality.
But I was expecting more color variation. And even more product variation. Like even if it was all pens, maybe like 4 different brands of pens. Not just 2 brands: 10 of almost the same pen, and 3 of almost the same pen.
The notebook paper isn’t the best quality either. I would use it more for calligraphy with a fountain pen.
Highly disappointed and underwhelmed. As an artist I subscribed to Palettefu Premier Pack, as an opportunity to try new art supplies. I was very excited to receive this premier box. However I feel duped! This February box includes 3 green Tomboy markers (two of which I already have), a pack of 10 black micron fine liners, and sketchbook of flimsy paper. The most exciting thing is the purple crinkle paper. This box lacked variety and was a waste. I suppose it would be great for next month, March, if I want to draw a lot of green clovers. However, I will have to use a different paper if I don't want it to bleed through.
Excellent quality materials. Would appreciate some techniques or a step by step project using the materials.
