The Qym Planner Kit: January Main Kit Edition Review

Received the January Main Kit Edition from @theqymplannerkit or @plannermalaysia. I had a three month subscription with them and this month is my first kit. This is the main kit, priced at RM55 (price for  month series) plus RM12 for postage. That means RM201 for the entire three months.

 So for each month, you are supposed to get all these:
-Sticky notes/Note page
-Sticker sheets
-Page Flags
-A Mini Journal
-Clips
-Pen/Pencil/Highlighter
-Washi Tape 
-A Specialty Item

They also have add on kits where you can get either two washi tapes OR three sticker sheets + three sticker flakes on top of your main kit. You just need to add RM12 (each).

 This is the whole look.


Notes from them. 




I really love that they include this in the kit. It gives you an illustration of all the items together with the prices. So basically I saved RM8 for this kit.



 The first item is this green polka-dot washi tape. 
Retail at RM6.




Next, is this multicolour gel pen that changes colour as you write. I have been looking for it for quite some time. So I am glad that they include this pen in this month kit. 
Price: RM5.




Another page marker to add to my collections. Since I have plenty of page markers, I try to maximize their uses. The kids use them to mark the Quranic/Iqra' page that they are currently at. They also use the page markers as decorations for their school projects. I remembered AM glued the woodland theme page markers all over his cardboard trees. 

You can also stick the cute page markers'characters on pencils. Find an empty box for a stage. Sit back and get yourself entertained by some puppet shows by the kids.
Price: RM9


 

A 40 sheets memo pad with floral theme. As you can see, the page has dotted lines and tick boxes. You can easily transformed it to a to-do list, grocery shopping list, projects that needs to be done etc. 
Price: RM18


 2017 calender sticker. I have the weekly insert system, so this might come in handy. 
Price: RM8.




Next, is this butterfly sticky notes. You can use it as wall deco or simply a memo pad. For RM16, I think it is a bit pricey.I have seen it at Lazada before. If you know Lazada well enough, you will notice how they have different prices for the same thing. You really have to spend more time to find vendor that sells the lowest price. So far I've seen one that sells this at RM7.80. I just thought that I can get two or three sticky notes with the same value of money. 



 The one at LAZADA.


...and guess what? This one at Shopee for just RM1.50!!


Then, I have two regular size papers with prints on them. 


The first one has green chevrons all over on one side. At the back, is this watermelon with/without seeds illustration that you can cut into small envelope. Or it can also function as pockets that you can put in your journal to hold small sticker flakes, notes, washi samples etc.




The second one has watermelon, pineapple and popsicle. And more watermelons and pineapples at the back. You can use these for decorations or laminate them for your planner page dividers. Altogether, the price is RM8.


 Lastly is this Midsummer letter set which consists of one paper and an envelope. 
Price: RM5.

 Overall, I would say that I am somewhere in between. No major love or hate. I like all the items received. They are all in great conditions. I just wish with RM55, they could curate more items. How? RM18 for one memo pad. They could use the same money for two memo pads. Or the RM5 for A letter set. I could have FIVE letter sets (five papers and five envelopes) with that price. And RM8 for two pattern papers is a tad too much, don't you think? And that butterfly deco stickers, they need to be more careful when they set on the pricing. 

I have nothing but warm wishes to the team. Here, I am hoping that the next month kit will WOW me more. More unique items with reasonable prices, please!
