hey guys welcome to planning with Crystal today's Advent calendar unboxing we're going to call it an
advent calendar it's the 12 days of writing tools Advent calendar from Erin Condren for
2022. so Erin Condren are a us-based stationary brand they do the most amazing planners and stuff
we've unboxed some Lots on the channel in fact this is what I started the channel unboxing now
they've brought out a 12-day pen Advent calendar so there's 12 different pens individually wrapped
here in this tube which I think would actually be a really cool gift never mind having it as like an
advent calendar so we're going to unbox it we're going to look at every single item that comes
in here we're also going to change to overhead view and try out the pen so you can kind of see
how they write and stuff so even if you don't get this calendar or if it's sold out by the time we
get this video out then you can look at buying the pens individually if any of them take your
fancy or we could just unbox it and we'll see what we think so Erin Condren do ship internationally
I'm in the UK and I bought this myself and had it shipped over and so even if you are
in the UK like me or any other country around the world they've probably shipped to you if you're
interested you also pay like taxes and shipping and stuff up front so you know exactly what your
landed cost will be there's no like surprises when it arrives and they arrived really quick usually
within about five to seven days after I order my order arrives which I think is fairly quick from
the US anyway so this is what it looks like when you take a wrapping off so it's really pretty and
you could definitely use this to hold all of your new writing tools once you have unboxed them all
you could actually use this as well as like a countdown to New Year or like 12 days before
Christmas or the first 12 Days of Christmas or whatever you wanted because they are numbered like
this so that's number one so this is our first pen so what I'll do is I'll show you the pen then
we will try it out and like I said I'll switch to overhead view every time we're trying it out
so this is the day number one pen I have literally no idea what this is what it's supposed to do Etc
if I can find the name I'll put it on the screen oh it's like two different colors okay it's like
a two different color marker let's switch to the overhead view and see what this looks like [Music]
day number two so this is one of the kind of fine liner pens I've already
got one of these and it's a gorgeous writing pen it just it's just one
I reach for so so much so I'm happy to have another one of those [Music]
day number three back to the land of on the unknown
oh this is like a roller stamp that's quite cool
[Music]
so now we've got a silver pen oh [Music] click the pen okay something literally just flew off of the
end I literally don't know what that was I think maybe it was just protecting the end of the fan
the next one to see things flying off [Music]
a multi-color pen now this takes me back to my childhood
looks like a normal pad well inside it's all different colors [Music]
I suspect this will change color depending on where you're up to so I guess it's just
going to stay at this kind of color and then it'll gradually become maybe one of the others
okay so it's really double ended list markers so on this one we've
got a little circle at one end and you'll see this button we
switch the overhead view and then just like a black ink liner on the other end
foreign
just a black fine tip on that end and this is for your list making [Music]
seven
[Music] had this before not the most exciting but like a little metallic marker [Music]
really sick hard to write with
it flew off the end how about that then
oh I didn't expect that color [Music] this is a dual ended highlighter
it's got like kind of chiseland on that end and I have just a writing pen on that end so not a
dual ended highlighter highlighter on one end and called tip Style on the other end
or fine liner okay they're called is it a fine line though we'll see when we try it
fancy shrancer metallic body I think it's a standard pen inside
again we'll see better when we do our close-ups [Music]
so this is more of your standard ballpoint pen and probably the one I use most of all
it's another one it was a double-ended kind of pen that I've never seen before interested
[Music]
so 12 days later we've got all our pens that in the pot with lots and lots of room to spare what
do I think I feel like there is a selection of different types of pens different texture
texture colors I feel it could have been even more of a color selection so we got like one of
every color instead of like a couple of these and a couple of that I feel like some of the
pens were kind of novelty pens that I don't think you would use that much whereas I think I would
rather have had 12 really usable pens but that's just me let me know your thoughts underneath I
do think it's a fun cute idea I don't think it's super expensive don't get me wrong it's not cheap
either but I didn't think it was too badly priced so 28.50 divided by the 12 pens makes it 2.37 per
pen so I don't know for the fun of it it's the sort of thing if somebody bought me this it's a
gift or gave me this as an advent calendar I'd be very very pleased so for me it kind of ticks
the boxes do I think it's perfect no I think definitely improve on it they keep releasing
more and more fantastic pens and hopefully they'll do it again next year and it'll be even better I
think my favorite pen and this is probably a bit dull but this like metallic barreled pen
which has got like a standard like ballpoint pen inside is probably the one I would use the most
uh whereas some of the other ones like I said feel a little bit more kind of novelty and I
don't think I'd get as much use out of them but I'm still glad I got it and try it out with you
so let me know in the comments what you think of this did you pick it up have you tried Erin
Condren pens before let me know your thoughts so if you are brand new to Erin Condren I do have
a 10 off your first order regardless of where in the world you are you can use it if you're in the
UK wherever and I'll put that link underneath so I really hope you've enjoyed watching this
