Aside from Stitch Fix and Glossybox, I’m surprised at the other three. They are hardly the best known or best curated.
Chrissy, I have to agree with you and also add that the SinglesSwag and iBbeautiful boxes seem somewhat condescending, like all that single women and teenage girls need are a few sparkly trinkets and cute sayings to make them feel better about themselves or like being either of these is a problem to overcome. Other forums have pointed out that any lifestyle box would appeal to most women whether they are single or not and would have similar items. And what happens if you suddenly aren’t single; would this box no longer be “needed”? These boxes would be awesome if they were just marketed as what they are: fun little indulgences, not any kind of real empowerment. I want to see a Brooding Box for angsty, angry teenage boys, or a SingleSwag box for men (filled with stereotypical bachelor pad stuff)!
Just because the other ones aren’t as big or well known as the others doesn’t make them less curated. Great job to them all in my book!
FYI It’s $24.99 and $39.99 for Single Swag petite and regular box.
Thanks for sharing about the segment. It’s nice how sub boxes are being advertised more!
Thanks! I have the shipping cost in there too!
I just watched the segment and loved it! I applaud today for including lesser known boxes in the segment to provide an opportunity for exposure. I do not subscribe to SinglesSwag but it does not appear to me like they make any assumptions or presumptions, just deliver a fun monthly treat. Let’s focus on the positive and the happiness these boxes deliver to lovely ladies.
