Subscription boxes are hot right now! You can get anything from beauty products to coffee to underwear sent right to your door or dorm each month. I don’t know about you, but a personalized care package sent every few weeks sounds pretty sweet! You might ask yourself, “But where should I start, and can I afford this?” Well, here are eight affordable subscriptions that I know you’ll love!
1. Birchbox: This box is for the beauty queen who probably spends a little too much money at Sephora. For 10 dollars a month, Birchbox will send you 5 personalized high-end beauty samples. Plus, they give you points for reviewing products that you can then use to purchase full size beauty products.
2. Bootay Bag: This subscription is for the girl who never leaves her house wearing grannypanties. For 12 dollars a month you will be sent two pairs of panties. You have the option of being sent thongs, no thongs or a combo of the two. You can also add a bralette for a one-time charge of 14 dollars.
3. Lola. If you live in an apartment or suite with a bunch of other girls you probably know the struggle of never having a tampon when you need one. Well, Lola is here to help! Lola sells a variety of tampon and pad options starting at 8 dollars a month, which is a pretty sweet deal. Another cool thing about Lola is all their products are made with organic cotton, meaning no toxins, fragrances, or synthetic fibers.
4. SnackNation. Calling all foodies! SnackNation will send you 6-18 yummy snacks each month starting at 10 dollars a month!
5. The Happy Legs Club. Are you tired of paying crazy prices for razors? There’s a quick fix! The Happy Legs Club will send you a razor handle and blades or your choosing every two to three months starting at 12 dollars a cycle. They guarantee a premium shave at a nice price.
6. Bean Box. Coffee lovers and addicts alike are going to want to take notes on this one. Bean Box is a coffee subscription that will send you monthly coffee samples starting at 18 dollars a month. Every Bean Box features freshly-roasted whole bean coffee, tasting notes, roaster profiles, brewing tips, and an artisan treat.
