FAQs
What is a subscription box?
A subscription box has you pay an amount of money every month or quarter, and they send you a box full of goodies. Subscription boxes can contain all kinds of items, depending on the company and box you choose. It could be t-shirts, socks, underwear, accessories, self-care, whiskey, wine, food, toys, books, or almost anything else under the sun. It’s a great gift idea and lets someone else do the hard work, and all you need to do is open your package each month. Prices can vary from $25-$200 depending on what you’ve subscribed to.
How do you get the most value out of a subscription box?
Some places will let you know the dollar value of the contents, and it’s often more than the subscription fee. As such, you can compare different boxes to see which gives you the most bang for your buck. You should also consider extra services, such as personal stylists, which can increase your subscription value. Finally, if you sign up for a longer period of time, the subscription costs can drop. For example, a one-off box might be $50 plus shipping, but if you sign up for a full year, it might be $40 with free shipping.
What makes for a good subscription box?
A good subscription box should satisfy a need you have, such as needing a new wardrobe or if your dog keeps chewing all your socks. It’s a great way to passively add to your wardrobe with minimal effort. Depending on what your subscription is, variety and new products can be crucial. It’s less fun if you’re getting the same combination of items each month, and you’re more likely to get bored and cancel. Finally, excellent value for money also makes for a good box, as you’re getting maximum output for your cash.
