There’s something about the dreary cold days that makes you want to stay nestled in your room forever. The good news is, with the advent of monthly subscription boxes, you don’t have to go past your mailbox to find a way to beat those winter blues and treat yo’ self.
Subscription boxes are essentially a monthly service that you pay to send you a package of various goodies every month. In the last few years, these boxes have turned into the latest retail craze, with thousands of customers anticipating the thrill of their next shipment of hand-picked products. Whether you’re a beauty junkie, a foodie, a shoe addict or a wine lover, there’s bound to be a box out there to tickle your fancy.
Though some services can get a little pricey, there’s tons more that are affordable on a college budget. You can visit sites like mysubscriptionaddiction.com to browse options, link you to the company website, and even look up coupons. Whether you’re looking to spoil yourself or find a creative gift for a loved one, everyone loves getting mail and subscribing to a monthly box is a convenient option to discover new products!
To get you started, check out some of the most popular (and affordable) boxes on the market!
