Super Cute Box, July Edition

So I received this month’s box a few days ago…

Like last month’s box, there is a cute photocard with an inspiring message. This month’s card features the monthly charm – the strawberry cake. I like to stick these to my wall to make me smile.

And this month’s box looks like this…as usual there is a lot of things packed in!

First of all is this Rilakkuma note set, which is very cute and practical. It opens up to reveal four writing pads.

Gudetama is a famous cartoon character in Japan. This Gudetama plush keyring is very cute!

If you are a monthly subscriber to Super Cute Box, you will receive a charm bracelet with your first box. Every month after that, you will receive a charm to add on. This month is the strawberry cake, which I really like. I really like food with happy faces. Another piece of jewellery included is this deer pendant from THIS MATERIAL CULTURE, which again I really like.

This month’s stationery features a “National Pattern” envelope set (the print is quite nice), a quirky greeting card (I’m not a big fan, but I think a friend would like it) and a cat in a box?! The cat is actually a set of sticky notes who will sit in the box which you will assemble yourself. I have never seen anything like this before…it made me laugh when I saw it!

Lastly, some donut socks (quite interesting to get fashion this time around), a Sentimental Circus key cover (I have put this on my key already) and after doing some research, a Hello Kitty cable clip.

I like the majority of this month’s box. I am a big fan of Sanrio and San-x, and I thought in that June’s box there weren’t a lot of these items, so I am very happy with July’s box.

Morrisons Gingerbread House

We recently got one of these Gingerbread House DIY sets from Morrisons, which looks very Christmassy. The photo on the box looked very impressive, I doubted I could recreate this look! …And despite my efforts, I could not! I tried my best! Included in the box are the gingerbread, plastic tray, packet of white icing and assorted sweets for decoration. The icing is already pre-made but requires you to massage it for 1 minute to soften it. However, I needed longer than this because the icing was still too hard. The gingerbread house comes in six pieces which are assembled with help of the plastic tray and some icing. This was fairly easy to do! The gingerbread smells delicious that I have to impose some self-control and not eat it… The tricky bit (and messy) was decorating the house. I found icing was difficult to do – sometimes it was too hard to get out of the bag, and sometimes it would not stick to the gingerbread itself! Trying to ice the windows and doors was a nightmar...

Edinburgh - National Museum of Scotland

The National Museum of Scotland is a vast building filled with exhibitions and displays covering nature, history, art, literature and science. There are also sections dedicated to Scottish history and culture. There is so much to see, I could possibly see one spending the entire day here! Another bonus is that it is free admittance. We were only here for a few hours, so unfortunately we didn’t get to see everything. My particular favourites were seeing the displays on different world cultures, natural history and the environment and the pivotal role Scotland has played in popular culture and art through the ages.

Mince Pie

You can't have Christmas without a mince pie! (Although I heard that technically it is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas Day due to an old law from hundreds of years ago...) I have tried ones from Morrisons (6 for £1) and a box from Marks and Spencers (6 for £1.80). The pastry is lovely and buttery, and the filling has a delicous flavour, still a little sweet for me but perfect with a cup of tea!
