Top 5 Subscription Boxes- February
I get a bunch of subscription box services and as I've said recently I am going to keep the ones I love, ditch the ones I feel "meh" about and try new ones constantly. So, what is a great way to find my true subscription box loves? A top 5 list!What did I even get this month?
Loot Crate
Graze (Box 1, Box 2, Box 3, Box 4, Box 5)
Love With Food
Juniper
My Cotton Bunny
28Day Hug
Le Parcel
TheFancy
PopSugar Must Have
Julep
Lullubee
Wantable.co
Birchbox
Ipsy
Barkbox
Twistband
YokoTea
That's 20 boxes total (Box 1 of Graze was in Jan)! And I am not including my first Nature Box that I received yesterday-it'll be a part of March.
A rule and disclaimer about my "Top 5," a box cannot be included if I have only tried it once (sorry but some boxes are hit-and-miss and one month can't be enough to judge. Also, just because you didn't make it on the list doesn't mean I don't love you (yes, I'm talking to the boxes as if they were people.)
Since this is my first top 5 box list to get you all caught up this would have been my Jan list:
1. Julep
2. Barkbox
3. TheFancy
4. Ipsy
5. Birchbox
Obviously, this is from before I ordered mega amounts of boxes and made my list "rules."
Enough chatter- let's see the rankings!
#5: Juniper
This was a tough one! I originally picked Ipsy as my #5 but I got my Juniper Feb box just in time to join the contenders (aka a second box of this sub). I just was so awed by how happy I felt with getting my treats and sweets and I LOVE the company itself.
Try it yourself:
Type: T.O.M. Box
Cost: $28/month
What is it?: This company which started up in 2013 delivers a deluxe box complete with your choice of tampons (20+), pads, pantyliners plus treats! Juniper begins each subscription registration by choosing from the 6 brands of tampons they offer (which you get a variety of absorbency), then you choose whether you would like backup protection (pads/pantyliners), and if you would like some Midol thrown in! You choose the date you would like to receive the box and then the tampons box has a phonenumber on it to text so they can track your monthly guest so your box will always be on time and continue customizing your box. Each box comes with a bevy of treats including honey sticks, chocolate, tea, snacks, etc! You get a starter box to begin and after that you work with Juniper to customize based on your needs.

#4: Graze
Maybe it's because I get this once a week but I love these snacks! I know they have had problems with overloading- they became popular super quick- and some of my shipping has been delayed but the yummy snacks make up for it! Some of my favs include: Hot Cross Yum, Toffee Apple, Apple Cosmos, and Summer Berry Compote.

I just love this subscription! It's amazing- I have great polishes AND products from this sucker- plus the extra touches and gifts make is extra special! Even when I skip a month I am entranced (and usually buy) their special bags. I super loved the Secret Store this month and don't worry about backsliding a number this month you are still super super loved!

You're missing out by not getting Glossybox. That's my favorite every month!
ReplyDeleteI just signed up for a 3-month Glossybox sub! I'd been wanting to but couldn't afford it until the latest 20% off coupon. I'm excited!
DeleteHi! I'm wondering what your new top 5 are, thanks!
