Your Spring Guide to Monthly Subscription Boxes
We all know how it feels when the highly-anticipated package finally arrives at your doorstep. No matter what you ordered – clothing, food, shoes or books – there is something so liberating about ripping open that box and finally holding the item in your hand.
If you can relate to this excitement and love the idea of receiving monthly packages with your favorite goodies, a subscription box might be your new best friend. These boxes come in all shapes and sizes, each serving a unique purpose with unbeatable deals.
With so many subscription boxes available, I decided to compile a list of all-time favorites that will help you determine which box is the best fit for you.
For the aspiring beauty guru: Birchbox
For just $10 a month, you will receive a monthly box of five beauty samples that are handpicked based on your “Beauty Profile.” The samples range from haircare to makeup, and even feature killer skincare products. Each box includes information about the samples, along with instructions on how to use them.
For the fashionista: Dailylook
After filling out a detailed style quiz determining your personal look, fashion icons and budget, you will receive a monthly or quarterly package filled with up to 12 hand-selected pieces of clothing. After this, you have five days to try on these items in the comfort of your home and decide what you want to purchase and what you want to send back. Oh, and it’s free shipping both ways!
For the fitness fanatic: SweatStyle
Built off the mantra, “don’t sweat the shopping,” SweatStyle delivers you a curated package every month filled with premium activewear tailored to your preferred fitness activity. After filling out a detailed questionnaire about your fitness activity and daily life, your box will arrive and you can decide which items you want to keep. The great thing about this box is that you only pay $25 per month and this fee is deducted from whatever items you decide to keep.
For the girl who wants a little bit of everything: FabFitFun
Perhaps one of the most popular boxes out there, FabFitFun delivers you a package four times a year filled with eight to ten full-size, premium products valued over $200. You can either purchase a seasonal membership for $49.99, or an annual membership for $179.99 — either way, you are paying less than the value of each amazing box. The cool thing about this subscription, is that your box contains a range of beauty, wellness, fitness and home goodies, as well as items that are customized to your membership profile. Your membership will also score you exclusive sales and product add-ons each season.
