Do you get any subscription boxes? Do you like them?

I used to get Eco-Emi (they're no longer around, sadly). There were a couple great finds in there for me, but a bunch of stuff that I didn't/couldn't use. The packaging was always *gorgeous* though, and it really did feel like someone sending me a present to open up every month.

I'm thinking about trying out a new box as a "be nice to me" thing (b/c life is stressful right now, and I could a treat!). But I don't really want a make-up box, and I'm super picky with food (trying to stick to a mostly paleo-type diet). Hmmm...

So, I'm curious - any boxes that you love?

I used to subscribe to ipsy (cosmetics). It was fun for a while, but then I moved and decided not to renew.

My little box is very good in UK

Thanks... And sorry my internet is out... Using my work phone but it's hard to type much. Blurt looks interesting had not seen that one before.... Thanks

Our daughter is obsessed with all things Japanese, so we get her the Doki Doki crate. Lots of neat little things in there, but I think it's more geared towards kids.

Thanks Dan208, that sounds like such a neat thing to do for your daughter!

My internet is still out - it's been 6 whole days now. I work from home, this is ridiculous and feels like it's turning my life upside down.

Talked to my boss today who told me to use my work cell phone as a data hotspot, so that's how I'm getting online now. I can't do much (have to watch data usage) but at least I can access the web and keep my life on track. I'm still really livid about everything going on with my internet connection though (really long story, but ugh - horrible!)

I ended up grabbing one of the current (Fall!) FabFitFun boxes. (Sorry for not providing links, again - trying to save data by not loading all the pages - should be easy to find with google if you're curious). I liked the review on MySubscriptionAddiction (I think that was the site) - and they had a code for $10 off. It's just a little something nice for myself, I don't think I'll keep up the subscription but the fall box looked pretty nice (it includes a scarf and sticky yoga socks!)

I really do love the idea of subscription boxes though! I'd love to find a pretty reasonably priced one with stuff that works well for me (I'm a bit weird and picky) that I could get every month.

Ohh... and for anyone still reading... Walmart has a "beauty box" that is only $5, offered quarterly. If you want something on the cheap side to surprise yourself with a couple times a year, you might check it out! I didn't end up getting it, b/c I didn't think I'd use a lot of the stuff they send, but it might be a fun thing to try.

Thanks, hope everyone is having a better week than me!
