There’s something so exhilarating about being greeted at your doorstep by a package. Our eyes immediately light up with pure joy at what could be inside and the impatience that ate away at us for a week or two finally wears off. So, what if these fun-filled packages were guaranteed once a month and we didn’t quite know when? Hey, you might even forget that you were expecting one in the first place. I’m talking subscription boxes, ladies! A hand-curated box full of your favorite things; makeup, food, accessories, books, etc. There are so many different types of subscription boxes offered these days, so I’m introducing you to some of my favorites and you need to try them.
1. Universitee Box
This subscription box is aimed at high school or college aged women who need a little pick me up before or after a big exam, if they’re missing home, or if they just need to be reminded of how much they’re loved. Your box can carry anything from sunnies, journaling items, graphic t-shirts, statement necklaces, travel mugs and so much more. A great feature is that you don’t have to commit to a monthly plan of $19.95, but can just pay for one box if you’re looking to gift or just check it out. I would highly recommend this one for the girls who love to sparkle and are always looking for their next Instagram picture.
2. Treatise
If you have a sweet tooth that always seems to linger, this subscription box is perfect for you. Each month a savory selection of gourmet sweets will arrive at your door. I love that this brand seeks out treats from around the world, which allows you to be very adventurous with your curating. However, when you find a sweet you just can’t keep your hands off, you can request that it comes back in your future boxes. This one is definitely for the foodies who are always looking to try something new. Starting package plan is $19.95 per month. Enjoy!
3. Ipsy
I’m sure a lot of you have heard of this glamorous box before, but if you haven’t, this monthly subscription box brings you a makeup bag with stylist selected deluxe and sample size beauty products. This one is perfect for me because while being on a college budget, I’m not willing to splurge on makeup unless I know 100% that I’m in love with the product and will be getting the bang for my buck. You’ll find the best deal with this box, as it’s only $10 a month for members. So take the beauty quiz offered on their site and see what products could come in your first glam bag!
Calling all my fellow bookworms! I choose to share this box with you because it’s more than just your average gift box, it’s an experience and activity sent directly to your door. This subscription box allows you to firstly choose a book (any genre), and then you select any type of tea you could be craving and along with this, you’ll be surprised with a few extra goodies that might include a bookmark, candles, bath bombs, coffee, etc. Essentially, your perfect book reading scenario is packaged and sent to your door. So find your favorite nesting location, grab your favorite blanket and sign up for Novel Tea Club (ranging anywhere from $24.00-34.99).
