It’s not news that Lewisburg, Pennsylvania may be the smallest, most secluded college town in all of the fifty states. So unless you can find diamonds in the roughs of the Walmart aisles or are willing to drive the half hour to the abandoned malls of Selinsgrove, the internet and the beloved mailroom are going to be your only friends when it comes to getting something new. In order to make that process easy, Her Campus has found some awesome delivery services that ensure you get your everyday needs (from fashion accessories to period necessities) on the regular.

#1 Stitch Fix

This may be the easiest way to add a new outfit to your wardrobe because let’s face it: those clothes you bought at that sale in the beginning of August are already beginning to bore you. Stitch Fix asks you to first, connect with a stylist by filling out your fit and wardrobe interview so you can expect a box of pieces you’ll love. They’ll then send you a box of hand-picked looks right to your mailbox, even including styling tips for each item on how to dress them up and down. Keep what you love, and send the rest back! They even include packing tape and labels to make sure it’s super simple. What’s not to love?

 

#2 The Period Store

“Choose lady products from around the globe!” Depending on your preferences, you can pay between $15-$30 for a monthly care package that includes tampons, panty liners, pain-relievers, and some scrumptious goodies to make your “time of the month” slightly enjoyable. Not only does it provide everything you need, it gives you something to make you actually look forward to your period! What girl doesn’t need this!!

 

#3 Naturebox

This company’s mission is to make it easier for you to eat healthier. For $19.95, these guys will ship you a box full of nutritionist-approved goodies that taste great. Apparently, their snack experts will hand-pick a custom box each time so you can discover new, all-natural bliss every month. Plus, they’re highly recommended by the Today Show, SHAPE magazine, and Rachel Ray. We say yes.

 

#4 Birchbox

Birchbox is probably one of the best ways to test out new beauty products without breaking the bank or wasting drawer space. Request an invite (super exclusive) for a subscription and, once accepted, fill out a profile so you can receive a $10 monthly box that’s tailored to your preferences. They even provide an editorial so you learn how to use the samples correctly. If you find a product you love, follow up on the website and you can purchase a full-size! They use top-rated brands like Mirenesse, Benefit, Origins and more. Who needs CVS?

 

#5 Umba Box (handmade gifts)

Do you want a handmade surprise every month? Subscribe to a 3, 6, or 12 month prepaid plan, and they curate a box of handmade jewelry, accessories, stationery and both products just for you! This is also a great way to find new, trendy artists looking to make a name for themselves as they even include a story about each artist who made the product. Get great gifts! Support the arts! Everyone wins.
