Lucky Dip Club March unboxing & Megabox prize!

I have mentioned my love of Lucky Dip Club before but for those who aren't familiar, it is a total box of awesomeness!! It is a subscription box that you can either buy as a one off box for £18 or subcribe to for £15 per month. Which is a bargain when the contents are of such beautiful quality & worth way more than that.

It is run by the very fabulous Leona Thrift-ola who is not only very lovely, but she is super talented & thinks up everything for the boxes herself. Every product is brand new & produced or manufactured by Leona & despite Lucky Dip Club not even being a year old she currently produces 1000 boxes each month. So amazing!

The theme for the March box was Birds of Paradise & each time the boxes appear through my letterbox they produce the same reaction from me. Much giddiness & lots of ooohs aaahs & eeeks!!

So, I thought I would do an unboxing post so you can see it as I do when it arrives. The first thing your eye catches when you open the box is a vine (which I love reading with a cuppa) & it always has a positive motto or phrase on the front. This month's says 'Pretty Flamingo - Create your own Paradise'. I have a love for all things flamingo so it is perfect!

The details & packaging are as pretty as the contents so I always feel a bit mean for ripping it all open!

Each month Leona does a collaboration with a different illustrator/designer/maker. This month it was with Hollie Harris who designed these exclusive Birdie bobby pins. How cute are they!

There is always a DIY kit & this time it was some origami flying birds to make. I was watching House of Cards last night & there was one in the episode I saw, spooky!!

There is also usually a stationary item & this month was this lovely note/list pad which says 'Today's the day' which I love. And it has a flamingo on too, yay!!

There is always a personalised item & I just love love love this keyring. The Pink Flamingo Motel sounds awesome!! I may even change it to a necklace which is what I have done with some of my other LDC ones but I'm not sure yet. I currently have it in a jar hooked over my personalised name pencil from last month's box!

Jewellery is something else we always get in the boxes & from this month there is a new thing called Charm of the Month. We have received a necklace with a swan charm on & a bracelet too. Each month there will be a new charm sent with the boxes, so by Christmas we will have a bracelet full of unique ones. Such a cool idea.

I am always so happy with the boxes & they literally brighten my day/week when I get them. I have lots of quirky LDC jewellery & accessories now as I have been subscribing for a while. Plus why shouldn't we treat ourselves to something nice? It is like your birthday every month! And when you have chronic illness there isn't always that much to make you smile so when something like this guarantees it, then it's a must I say!

If anyone is interested in subscribing then you will need to be up super early on the 1st of each month to try & get one as new boxes launch at 7am. They sell out really quickly so signing up to a subscription is the most reliable way of securing a box each month. They make lovely gifts too. The theme for April is Raining Cats & Dogs so if you want to try to get one, set your alarm for 7am on the 1st of May! Link to website is here.

As if receiving the normal box wasn't enough, I was lucky enough to win the Megabox competition. Leona runs a competition on Instagram & each month there is 1 winner. This time it was me!! Woooop.

This huge box arrived & there was much excitement!

My little Miss helped me rip it open & there were excited gasps as we got into it & discovered lots of stuff wrapped in blue (my favourite!) tissue paper.
