I am a huge fan of mystery boxes – its nice to be sent something which is a bit of a surprise as well as get a bargain too!
I have bought letistitch kits before and did their Halloween themed seasonal box a few years back (you can see more about that here). I saw the autumn and halloween box on their social media so had a look at the website. I then, a couple of days later, received an offer through the Shop app (that manages their checkout) which with vouchers and a special offer brought the box down to £24.99. This felt like too good a price to miss so I ordered the box and it arrived a few days later.
What’s in the Box?
First off, it doesn’t acutally come in a box, rather a large brown cardboard envelope. There’s a popular cross stitch subscription that does comes in a box with gifts etc but that isn’t what Letistitch are aiming for. They’re aiming for amazing value, top quality, kits. The retail price of this box is £49.99 and if you’re paying that full price (as opposed to the set of offers I got) then it’s well worth it.
The kits I got are:
- L8998 – Autumn with a rabbit
- L9944 Boo Crew Ornaments
- Leti 997 – Pumpkin’s Party (small kit)
In addition to the three kits I also recieved a chart (Goddess of the Moon) and a needleminder – Sweet Halloween.
To pu
rchase these items individually totals £85.96 and I hadn’t seen any of these kits at other retailers of Letistich kits.
The Kits
The kits are the usual Letistitch excellent quality containing everything that it needed to make them. The smaller one, Pumpkin’s Party, comes with dark blue aida and the Boo Crew Ornaments look to be a plastic aida in order to make the ornaments. The needleminder is excellent (I regularly use another letistitch needleminder) and the chart is beautiful. It is one of a series of four and I’ve had my eye on it a while as I’ve seen others stitching the various ones.
Overall Experience
The items were dispatched super quick and I feel like there’s a good variety of kits included, and it very good value for money. If you like the Letistitch designs then I am sure you won’t be disappointed with purchasing one of their mystery boxes. The summer and spring ones look to still be available (I have been very tempted by these) and they are launching a monthly mystery club with the first kit dispatching in January. I really look forward to seeing this one as I think the kit each month is exclusive to the club.
