A new addition to the top of my "If I Had a Very Rich Boyfriend I Would Ask Him For..." list*:
Lost Crates offers a subscription service in which they send you a monthly parcel of stationery goods!
They have a brief "Personality Quiz" to assess your tastes - which is mercifully short, unlike the SAT-length form you need to fill out for eHarmony** - although there is some potential for errors. The choices for each question are limited, and some of them I can't really tell what they are (i.e. In the food question Is that a hamburger, or a veggie burger? Why isn't there a chicken option?).
Maybe I'm just being silly. Can one really expect web-based business' customer service department to really know what one wants? And yet I like the idea that there may be someone out there putting a box together thinking, "Oh, she'll LOVE this!"
If I had $38 USD per month to spend on it, I would love to receive a package or 12 from this company.
However, I just noticed now that those of us who live outside the USA need not apply. They do not offer International Shipping as yet. (Insert my standard rant about the North American Free Trade Agreement and how it doesn't work when Canadians want to buy something online here.)
Still, if any of you decide to try it, I would love to see photos of the stationery you receive!
I found out about Lost Crates via Notebook Stories. There's a giveaway there, if you'd like to throw your name in!

*I do not actually keep such a list. (Maybe I should? No. I'm kidding.)
**Yes, I once tried to complete the eHarmony questionnaire, but I gave up less than halfway through out of sheer boredom.
