Subscription Boxes, anyone?

[Miniature Sheep]

I would love to but there don't seem to be any that really capture my interest at the moment. There was a really nice spooky/gothic subscription box I stumbled upon a while ago but it was more than I could afford. Also I'm currently sponsoring a pod of dolphins on a monthly basis so another subscription might eat into my funds too much.

I've only done a few
I've done Hello Fresh for food each week.
And Graze- it was fun for a sample box but not something I wanted to keep up with for fancy snacks.

I currently have a Tsum Tsum Subscription box.

And I tried Doki Doki crate, and although they're getting better, it is still too much $$ for what is inside

I did two months of Horror Block and over a year of Arcade Block. Both were good but I ended my subs because I now have way too many gaming t-shirts. I've been thinking of subscribing to a Japanese snack box like Tokyo Treat or Snakku since it's hard to get Japanese goodies here. I've also thought of subscribing to an anime box since I'm really into that right now.

No. Seems useless to me to spend money like that. I want to know what I buy, not pay for random stuff.

It is odd that I like subscription boxes, because I too am usually the person that prefers knowing what I'll get. Heck, I am at person that would sooner shell out $20 and get the exact blind bag/box figure I want than to spend $6 and hope I get a character I like. ^^'

I will say that for some sub boxes, it can easy to just go look on ebay and get the specific items you'd want from it, if it's like an exclusive or popculture/anime related. I did that with last month's Loot Anime box since I saw they had a Yokai Watch shirt, and managed to snag one for a good price. Been sorta eyeing the Phoenix Wright briefcase cardholder, too... xD

As far as Doki Doki Crate goes, it if was $15-$20 a month, it might be worth it. But for $30, it really isn't.

My mom got me Barkbox for my dog for the last two Christmases. He's not that big into the toys except when he goes on a post-crate-release rampage, but he loves the treats and chewables. It's expensive but he gets so excited when I bring him the box. I let him pick which treat he wants first.

I'd love to subscribe to a monthly tea box but I can't afford it.

I love subscription boxes! I'm currently subscribed to Qbox, Nandemobox (Kawaii version), Yume Twins and Pusheen Box.

I have also tried Kawaii Box, Japan Candy Box, Japan Crate and Tokyo Treat before.

I'd like to try some of the many gaming/geek related boxes in the future.

Theres been a lot that I want to sub too, but I just dont have the money. I still might sub to "art snacks" if that's still a thing, It was the first sub box I noticed and I thought it was neat getting a few new art products to sample each month.

Personally I prefer to spend money on swaps xD where I know ill like at least most of the things in the box. :p

I love barkbox and have gotten it several years now. It's random toys but always stuff they like and usually something like treats and a water dish for walking or bandana etc. I figure it's cheaper than if I went to the store for all of them!

  If anyone wants my code I think it's still active that it gets you and I a free box if you order a box!
I think this is my referral code-RJ1L7MP69T

  I keep meaning to do the food type ones and will eventually!!

I've tried Birch Box but didn't like enough of the products to justify the expense. I had a dog box sent to my sister for a year as a gift and she/her pup loved it. New toys and treats! Could customize it to his size, preferences and play style. I'd do that again. Expensive, though.

A friend gifted Birch Box for me for a few months.  But even after filling out all of the info, I still ended up with a bunch of stuff that I didn't want.  A few of my friends use Ipsy and seem to like it.  I wouldn't mind trying Allure's box, but it seems to be pricier than the rest.

My mother is part of a csa. It's not a box really. She gets a huge bag of fresh organic fruits and vegetables every week. This is her fourth year.

This is a large part of why I haven't rushed to subscribe to a new box. I tend to love the boxes I get from swaps a lot more, plus I get to make someone a box, too. I'm a participant rather than just a receiver or observer.

Hi, my name is Tak and I'm addicted to swaps. Yes I am.
