With Christmas coming up, you’re likely trawling the Internet right now for discounts and deals, while answering your door daily for deliveries. Amidst all the excitement of giving in secret Santa, why not subscribe to one of these services and start receiving something for yourself as well?
For Health Nuts: Graze
Quite possibly the most well-known on the list, this UK based snack company has expanded into the US with its dedication to providing healthier snacks by post. At £3.99 a box, you can narrow down the selection you’ll be sent (including flapjacks, granola, mini puds and nuts) before selecting how often you want to receive them. Perfectly sized to throw in your bag, they’re a healthier alternative to the library vending machine’s offerings when the hunger strikes.
For Girls Everywhere: Pink Parcel
This period subscription box idea is so simple and clever we’re surprised nobody’s thought of it before! Simply select one of three delivery slots closest to Mother Nature’s due date and you will receive a box of goodies containing a cup of tea, your preferred brand of tampons and pads, and a sweet snack to tide you over until the pain passes. You’ll also receive a beauty product for that much-needed pampering time. Totalling in at just £6.99 for your first box, why not treat yourself monthly to make the time just that little bit easier?
For Beauty Gurus: Birchbox
This monthly service sends subscribers a box of four to five samples of makeup and other beauty related products, tailored to your skin tone. Offering the goodies up at a reduced price compared to buying in store, it’s a great way to try new brands before committing to the full-sized version – perfect for budding beauty gurus!
For Relaxation: Book & a Brew
Every month, you can receive the perfect “me-time” combination of a good book and brew for only £12.99 – a bargain when you consider the prices of books these days! Your box will be delivered to your door, and the book will have been selected by self-professed bookworms, like those working at your local Waterstones and Whittard’s, themselves. With an aim to provide you with a hidden gem of a book and some delicious tea to pair with it, you can snuggle down with two of your favourite things for one evening of ultimate cosiness.
For Your Sweet Tooth: Taffy Mail
This one is perfect for all those people looking to take their candy addiction to the international level. This company sends you a selection of American treats in one of three sizes each month. Sample the sugary delights that make kids across the pond go crazy, including Twinkies, Pop Tarts, Cap’n Crunch cereal and Sour Patch kids.
For Bakers: If I Knew You Were Coming
This new way to bake is student-friendly in more ways than one. Simply choose from brownies, cookies or muffins, and for 3 months you will receive the exact ingredients required to make these moreish treats for your whole house. Step-by-step instructions accompany the pre-weighed sachets of everything from chocolate chips to flour, meaning there’s no waste and no hassle. Get baking!
