Hello Friends, Wizards, Witches and Muggles!
Welcome back to my channel, I hope you're all doing really well. Today, we are doing an Accio Box.
That's right. This is the Accio box for May 2021. We are sponsored by Accio Box and I do have
a discount code for you guys, if you would like to use it, which is MAGICALFAMILY.
This means that you guys get some money off when buying it and it also means that
I earn a little bit of money to help keep this channel running. Now, I will say,
there's a fan on. I've said it before, I'll say it again - it is hot whilst I'm filming.
So if you see me looking really like... I don't know what I was gonna say.
Let's just crack on with the video, shall we? I do not know what the theme is for this month, at
all. Normally, I do know because I see other people upload these but I don't know what the theme is at all.
But let's see what it is like. Okay, so Accio Box. It's a monthly box. We've got black tissue paper.
So I think last time was House Pride, and it wasn't a theme that really did it for me, it was a bit of
a flop. Let's see what this month's is. Hopefully, it's a little bit better. Okay then, so the first
thing that has caught my eye is this. This is a really cool reference, so I'm excited to see what's
inside here. So, firstly, this was made exclusively for Accio. This is the box and it says "Hermione's Flame Jar", and it's a drinking tumbler. Okay, so this is when Hermione did a Charm of a flame
that she kept around with her. Is it gonna be cute? I mean, I like the idea of it but it is
just a plain tumblr with nothing on it? Oh no, it does! I take that back, I didn't
see the flame when it was, like, there. Okay, I was just like, "But there's not a blue flame
on it?!" There is a blue flame on it - it is right here. It is made out of plastic, we've got a screw lid
with a plastic reusable straw in, as well. Now, had I have not have been given this box with
the information on it, which tells me that it's Hermione's Bluebell Flame Jar, I probably
wouldn't get the reference, to be honest. It does look just like a generic kind
of tumbler with a blue flame on it. Is it, like, speaking to me on a magical level?
It's not, sadly, but I'm hoping that there's other things... Is this like a Hermione Box? Because that
would be cool if it was. I guess we'll wait and see in a minute but yeah, this one's a little bit
of a miss for me. Is it something that I would use? Yes, I do like these shaped tumblers. I think
they're nice. Summer is here, perfect to keep your ice cubes in but yeah, it's just a little bit of
a miss for me, I think, which is sad. Okay, let's see what other goodies we can find in here. Oooh hello!
So we have got this rather lovely looking package which says, "Essence of Dittany." So this was brewed
on July 3rd 1997. So Deathly Hallows. And it says, "The potioneer is Hermione Granger."
Oooh, I think, it's an oil of some kind. So it's brewed exclusively for Accio, on the back, so you
can only get it from here. It's got... does have ingredients. Lots of oils, fruit oils. We've got
peppermint oil, lavender leaf extract, loads of things that I don't know what it is. But let's have
a little... oooh this is cute! It's even got... it's got some amethyst quartz stuff in there!
That's nice. I like the packaging of this, I think it looks really neat, I think it looks
really clean. It's a rollable. Is it like...? I don't know if it's meant to be... it's definitely
an oil, I don't think it's meant to be a perfume. It could be like a stress oil. I'll have to have
a look on the cheat sheet. But it does smell nice. It smells like a massage oil, I'm not sure...
see, these roller balls you normally do like put it behind your ear, put it on your wrist but I don't
think it's meant to. It's a bit oily to put on the wrists but I am intrigued what it is for.
It smells really good, it's like... I don't know! Quite medicinal but in a really nice way. I like it.
l like the way it looks, I can't wait to read about that. I do like that but I want to know what it is
because, currently, I am unsure. What have we got in here? Now, this is quite sweet and I like the idea of this.
So, this is a bookmark of Hermione's wand. Let me just get this out. Now, instead of just
a paper bookmark, thMis is actually, like, some sort of faux leather and it's got a really nice
embroidered kind of wand there, and it even has a little tassel on the end, which I think's quite cute.
This is something a bit different, I will give Accio that. You've got like a little rivet here to hold
the tassel. It's something that's going to last, rather than a paper bookmark which might get bent
and stuff. But I do quite like that, I think it's quite thoughtful. It's something a little bit new
that we've not seen in these subscription boxes because, normally, they're either paper bookmarks
or, you know, those kind of flat, wooden bookmarks. i'm not seeing anything like this it's quite nice.
Oooh, this is a pin. Now, I have seen this. This was a spoiler, I think, on one of the Accio emails.
It's ginormous. It is a huge pin. It's a three clasp pin. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or
not but, seeing it in person, it's actually quite beautifully made. They've used soft enamel, so it's
quite sunken in, if you can see. But, I gotta say, the quality of this pin is very nice. The backing
card's quite nice, it goes with the theme. So this says, "Protectors Stained Glass Series."
So are they going to be doing like a Patronus series? And have they made it this shape so that they can all, maybe, fit together in, like, a circle perhaps? But, either way, if you weren't sure, Hermione's Patronus is,
indeed, an otter, which is what we can see here. And then on here it's got the text that says,
"Eruditas." Eruditas? Is that how you'd pronounce it? Eruditas. That's hard to pronounce. Oh, here we go!
Sorry, I completely missed this. It says, "One of Six." So yeah, I think it is going to create a full, like,
master pin. Okay, that's kind of clever, to have a pin series that all works together. I've not seen
that before, if I'm completely honest, in any of the subscription boxes or just in general with pin
collecting. I do think that's quite a nice idea. And, yeah, they are really nicely made. I can't
wait to see which other ones we get in this collection. I'm assuming that we're gonna get Ron
and Harry's, as well. Maybe we'll get Luna and Draco. Maybe Neville? Who knows? But, either way, I do
quite like that. It is quite big. It's not a pin that I would, like, wear. It's definitely more of
a collector's pin which you would maybe put onto a cork board or something. But, yeah, I'm
intrigued to see how they work together. So I will keep these so that I can show you them
all as one set in the future. So that's the pin. Oooh this is cute. This is cute. This is really nice, actually. Yes, Accio, you brought it back. Okay so... Oooh she's soft touch. This feels very nice. Okay, so,
this is an Accio exclusive there we have it. This is... it's not foiled, it's gold printed but, either
way, it says, "Numerology." And it says on this side, "Gramatica." I'm guessing this is like a study book
for Hermione. But this is lined, which is what we like, the pages aren't creased, it feels good quality,
it's got a nice little bookmark. In fact, we've even got an elastic, which I personally enjoy, and it's
actually quite a nice sized notebook. I do enjoy that, I think it's quite lovely. I think something
that would have made a nice addition to this was if it had something along the spine, so that I
could maybe display it with magical books because the front cover is actually really nice, with
all of these runes and stuff. But it does feel nice. They've not come out with any of these, kind of
like, soft touch notebooks before but I hope they do a few more of them because this does just
feel quite luxurious for a subscription box notebook. It just feels quite nice,
so, quite pleased with that, as well. Let's have a little look - I think there might be,
maybe, one item left. So last but certainly not least, we have got a print. Now, sometimes prints are
hit and miss in these boxes, but this is actually one that I really like and I think they've
kind of nailed it. So what have we got? We've got Hermione with her iconic Time Turner, we've got
her in a S.P.E.W badge, History of Magic, with all of her books. I love that they've put an otter patch
onto her satchel, including a little Dumbledore's Army button badge, which is on there. We've got
her wand and some socks. I just think it's really, really nice. I think that's a really cool piece
of artwork. Can't wait to find out who the artist is. I mean, if they're gonna do a series of the
characters like this, that might look really cool. But yes, that is the print and it's actually one
that I like, so that's cool. Let's have a look at the cheat sheet then. So here we have it. Yes, so the
theme was "The Brightest Witch", which we all know is Hermione. So it says, "When we think of our favourite
female characters, Hermione is always at the top of our list. Not only was she unabashedly clever and a
curious and eager learner, she was also incredibly brave, a loyal friend and a compassionate activist.
(And she grew up to become a great mom, as well!) This month, we highlight her with the first in our six-month Golden and Silver Trio series." That's very exciting! "We hope that you love this celebration of
one of literature's most wonderful women!" Yep! Okay, so first up we had the Bluebell Jar, which I
wasn't the biggest fan of. That had a value of $12 and it says, "It might not be able to light your way
through a secret passage or warm you up whilst you stroll the school grounds, but this cute tumbler
can help you stay hydrated whilst you're out and about! Featuring Hermione's signature
bluebell flames, it's a fun and subtle nod to one of her most iconic spells!" And that was made
just for Accio. Yeah, it's definitely a little bit too subtle. I do quite like nods to things that
maybe aren't as obvious but I feel like it might not... I don't know, I feel like it was just missing
something that made it feel a little bit magical. But that's just my opinion. Let me know what yours is
down below. We then had Hermione's Wand Bookmark. These would be really cute as a
series to collect them all. This had a value of $8 and it says, "Channeling your inner
Hermione with a bit of light reading this summer? You can keep your place with this cute
faux-leather bookmark featuring a stylized embroidered version of her signature wand."
That's right - swish and flick. Then we had the Numerology - that's really hard to say -
and Grammatica Lined Faux Leather Notebook. Honestly, very cute. Do like. This had a value of $10.
It says, "It wouldn't be a proper Hermione box without one of her textbooks! Use this lined
leatherette -" oooh that sounds nice! Leatherette! " - notebook to jot down your to-do list, journal your
thoughts or keep track of the books on your TBR list." To be read. "Features a handy built-in ribbon
bookmark and an elastic strap to keep it closed. An Accio Box exclusive design made just for you, so you
won't find it anywhere else." Then we had the first of its kind, and first of the series,
the Protector Stained Glass Pin. "We're so excited to bring you the first in our series
of exclusive stained glass pins featuring the protective animal spirits for each of
the characters in the Golden and Silver trios. When collected as a set, they will form a complete
circular window motif! Keep your eyes peeled for an exclusive custom-designed piece in our shop that
will allow you to display them beautifully as a piece of wall art." That is very intriguing.
Then we had... I don't know where I've put it. Oh, here it is. Right, I'm intrigued about this
one. So this is the Essence of Dittany Oil Roller and this had a value of $8. Oh,
the pin, by the way, had a value of $18. So this says, "Hermione was quite the accomplished potioneer, and her Essence of Dittany certainly saved the day when the Golden Trio was on the move
in the final year leading up to the big battle. While we can't promise that this fully functional
blend will cure any wound, it does contain lavender and peppermint -" you can definitely smell those
"- essential oils to help relax and rejuvenate, along with the beautiful touch of real amethyst
crystals." I did like that, I'm a big fan of crystals. "It'll also look great as a potion shelf prop,
if you prefer." Okay, so it's told me that it's an oil roller but it hasn't really told me what the
oil does or... it says it's an essential oil but I don't really know what to do with an essential oil.
I also agree that, if it didn't have the white lid, it would look nice on the potion shelf but it
looks a little bit too modern to join my potion shelf, unfortunately. But I do like the smell of it.
I might have to ask what this is because it does smell nice and it's a nice thing, I just
wish I knew what the use was. If you know what the use is, please do leave a comment down below.
Help a girl out! Then we had the watercolour print and this is by Willow and Roxas. I've never heard
of this illustrator or artist. It says, "We fell in love with artist Sarah Brown's interpretation
of Hermione -" yes, me too "- and knew that we had to include a piece of her art in this box. Lovingly
hand-painted in watercolour, this piece was custom designed just for our subscribers and features
our favourite bookish witch surrounded by all the things that make her unique. You can look forward
to more of Sarah's work throughout the series." So we are going to see more! Okay, that's exciting.
"Be sure to check out her Etsy shop at WillowandRoxas.etsy.com." I will link her down below with
any other featured artists but I think that was the only artist because the rest of the things
are exclusive to the box and designed by them. So, yeah, we had one, two, three, four, five, six items in
this box. What was my favourite thing? Honestly, it's probably the notebook this time. I'm just a big
stationary lover, personally. I did really like the box. To be fair, the box could probably sit quite
nicely on the potion shelf, if I did it up. I'm very intrigued about this pin collection. What's
it gonna look like when it's done? What's the thing in their store that they want us to put this on?
I'm just intrigued. I think my least favourite item will come to no surprise. It's probably the jar,
unfortunately. I do think the idea was quite nice but I don't think it was executed quite as good
as it could have been but also, as I said before, I think the kind of subtlety is a little bit
too subtle, even for like a huge fan as myself. So, yeah, as per usual, these are just my opinions on
everything in this box. I would love to know what your opinions are, so leave a comment down below
and I'll be sure to reply and read as many of those as possible. If you enjoyed this video, don't
forget to give it a magical thumbs up and I will see you in my next video, very soon.
Thank you for watching - bye! Do like this tassel, though.
