Shopping for the Family Simplified: Subscription boxes

Who doesn’t love a little treat in the mail every month?  Normally going to the mailbox is so uneventful. Bills, junk mail, and fundraising letter from your college are the norm most days when you open the box. How depressing.  Now wonder many people admit to only checking their mail once or twice a week! Now, thanks to the ever-expanding world of subscription boxes, there is something everyone could get excited about once a month.  Recent reports have estimated there are over 2000 different companies solely dedicated to creating a sampling of treats that you, your husband, your kids or even your pet could enjoy. Below we have curated a list of the best boxes for you and each member of your family and friends.

For the Kids

Have you ever walked into your child’s closet and realized all the pants were too short and the shirts too tight? Mac & Mia is a on-demand subscription box (meaning you choose when you want one sent) that sends perfectly put together outfits for the littlest ones in your family.  Are you ready for your kids to look like they finally stepped out of a commercial and not the chaotic mess that is your life? Look no further than here.  Stylists at Mac & Mia comb through up and coming designers to pick unique pieces specifically for your kids.  No more of the dreaded trips to the mall!

For the Glamorous Ones

Do you have some flirty friends that are always dressed to the nines with impeccable style, but are impossibly hard to shop for? Glossybox is the way to go! Each month your Glossybox arrives with five full sized beauty products selected from around the globe.  Boxes already sent out have contained products like mascara, anti-aging creams, lipsticks, and more! You can subscribe for as little as one month or as long as a year.  This makes it the perfect gift for the glitzy girl in your life.

 

For the Foodie

Taste Trunk is like a personal shopper went to a speciality grocery store and showed up at your house with a box full of the best items just for you. First, you choose the type of food box the suits you best.  The options are endless and range from a box of s’mores, BBQ fixings, one solely dedicated to bacon and for the sophisticated foodie – beer and bourbon.  And if none of those fit your fancy, they even make completely customizable food trunks.  While these boxes are pricer than other monthly subscription services, they make a great yearly or semi-annual treat or hostess gift.

 

For the Home Body

If you are one who likes to relax at home, maybe curled up on the couch with good book and candles burning then Vellabox is for you. Each month Vellabox will send you a new artisan-crafted, all-natural candle. There is an option of three different sizes.  And the best part: each box comes with a small surprise.  

 

For the Dogs

You don’t have to worry about ever forgetting man’s best friend.  Barkbox compiles the best dog treats and boxes them up monthly.  Even better, the boxes are curated to fix the size of your dog. From shitzu to St. Bernard every dog is taken care of.  Also, 10 percent of all sales go to local shelters and animal welfare organizations.  

 

For the Fitness Lover

For those that love to workout, or just love to wear workout clothes, SweatStyle is the the monthly box for you.  If your normal workout clothes are starting to have a funky smell, it is definitely time to switch things up. SweatStyle’s ability to find the perfect workout clothes for you starts with you filing out a questionnaire that helps them analyze your workout styles and preferences. When the box arrives you have five days to determine if the clothes work for you.  Keep what you like, return what you don’t.  All you need now is to reactivate your gym membership.

Subscription boxes are a great way to treat yourself or those around you with a creative and perfectly tailored gift.  Learn about new products, new foods, or ignite the spark to create a healthier lifestyle.  With over 2000 companies, there is something for everyone.
