They’re fun, exciting, and who said you can’t spoil yourself a little bit? They have these gems for all interests so go ahead and buy one, or ten.

8. Dia & Co Box
Attention plus size ladies, this one’s just for you. Shopping can’t be any easier than getting clothes based on your style, fit and preference in the mail each month. What’s even better is that if you’re just not into what you get, they’ll gladly accept your returns. Think, you never have to leave the house to shop, and can try pieces on in the comfort of home sweet home. Sounds pretty great to me.
Get out your pens. If you’re at all charmed by stationary, these subscription boxes (both from A Beautiful Mess) are right up your alley. Messy Box contains products great for journaling, including washi tape, stickers, and patterned paper, while Happy Mail is mostly full of cards with some notepads and stickers thrown in.
