Original caption

As someone who’s genuinely very happy with my subscription, I’m honestly surprised to see so many people cancelling theirs over packging concerns. This is me opening my @FairyLoot for the first time, and just like every other box I’ve received from them, it was perfectly packaged, exactly the same standard as @Illumicrate ✨ . I completely understand that damaged books can sometimes happen. I have several subscriptions and order hundreds of books a year, including from abroad, so I appreciate it’s not always avoidable. #BookTok #fairylootedition #reading

Acknowledging occasional damage

Product placement

FairyLoot: ACTS - it is a subscription box for books, and the creator is opening it to show its contents and packaging. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Illumicrate: APPEARS - it is mentioned as a comparison point for packaging standards. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
