Welcome back to another ultimate battle of the book box—this time I’m unboxing the January 2026 OwlCrate, Illumicrate, and (in this video’s setup) I’m also talking about how behind my boxes have been lately. I filmed in March, and I still hadn’t received all my February boxes yet, so I was extra excited to finally dive into these because they’ve been sitting there staring at me like, “Ma’am… please open us.” So grab your drink of choice, your treats, get comfy and cozy, and come unbox with me. I start with OwlCrate’s “So This Is Love” theme, and y’all—this box was such a win for me. We got the new 2026 pin line (Blades of Love), a stunning engraved wooden Sorcery of Thorns bookmark (with a tassel!), Six Crimson Cranes wooden spoons, adorable Treachery of Swans socks, and my favorite item: the cutest little Ella Enchanted-inspired bag. Then we reveal the book: OwlCrate’s edition of The Swan’s Daughter by Roshani Chokshi, and I absolutely rave over the character art, sprayed edges, reversible dust jacket, and the bonus content. I rate each item, give OwlCrate an overall 4.5/5, and share a few cozy life updates along the way—like how I do seasonal TBRs as a homeschool mom of three, and why I talk openly about mental health and include resources in my wrap-up videos.
