   Hey Jen,
   I decided to sign up for the monthly Citrus Boxes…however when I “tried” to use the promotion code I couldn’t. I signed up for just 12 months so I believe that I wasn’t able to use it because it’s only good for the “monthly” subsriptions. Just wanted to let you know. I’m excited to recieve my first box.

   Thanks,
   Kristy 🙂

   Thank you so much for reviewing all of these sites as well as listing the detailed reviews (with pictures) of each box you’ve received so far. This was SUPER helpful in deciding what box I was going to give my sister for Christmas. It also inadvertently helped me choose a present for my best friend and possibly a friend of mine who is about to have a baby. Funny thing about the Mantry box….I bought it for myself! I am super jealous of the bourbon themed one as whiskey and bourbon are my thing I loved everything in that box you reviewed.

   Have you ever tried the mommebox? and what’s your favorite monthly subscription?

      I do subscribe to MommeBox, but my December box got lost so I haven’t received it yet. My favorite is probably PopSugar.

            I’m really not sure? From the picture I saw, it didn’t seem to have too much “mommy” specific stuff in it? But I also wasn’t thrilled by the picture.

   Ipsy is my fav subscription. It is not loaded with perfume and skincare samples, they often have full size great quality and high end products and sample sizes are generous. Overall, I feel I receive greater value from them than other sub boxes I recieve. IMO, can’t have enough good water proof eyeliners, esp in dif colors. Monthly, I get Ipsy, Birchbox, The Look Bag and Julep.

      @Stephanie Tethrake: Stephanie, If you were to compare birchbox and ipsy, which is better?

   Have you checked out standardcocoa.com yet? It’s for craft chocolate- I got it as a holiday gift and I’m totally in love! I got the most amazing chocolate this month and can’t wait to see who they’re featuring for January. Total win!

   Have you tried Mynt Box? They’re fairly new, but their jewelry looks amazing and for the price it looks like an awesome deal. I’m going to order this month I think. They actually give you 3 to 5 pieces of jewelry every month.

   A lot of the boxes reviews I notice on the bottom that it says you were given the box in lieu of reviewing the box. How did you get into that? If you really pay for all of your boxes, how in the world can you afford all of them being a stay at home mom. I am amazed and would love to know the tricks so I being a stay at home mom also can do the same.

   Thanks

    I amazed how many subscriptions there is out there. Such a neat idea. I just started receiving Bulu Box. I choose the weight loss box. I also love Birch Box… Bulu Box looks to be modeled after it.

    Thanks for the thorough reviews! I already get Citrus Lane (started last month for my 5mo DD) and was debating on Little Pnuts, Stork Stack and Ipsy. After reading all your blogs, (well, most of them) I ended up signing up for Stork Stack today! They have a Vday code, so at least the first month was a discount.

    Where do you hear about other monthly discounts?

    Also – if you were to compare all the baby boxes, how would you rank them? Thanks so much!!

    My kids love kiwi crate. I like that you can add a sibling kit for a few dollars more. Also, if you buy a whole year, you get one month free.

    I really like Booty Bin their website is http://www.bootybin.com They are I think $29 which is a little higher than most subscriptions but they have one of a kind items that are really worth it. I also really like the Mystery Tackle Box for my partner!

       Hi- I ordered the bootybin box on July1st. they charged me $35 the same day. Today is July 22nd and I have yet to receive it. I ordered this for my sons bday which was the 15th..long gone now. I have emailed them 7 TIMES NOW. and gotten ZERO replies. there is no way to call them. So basically I feel like im shit out of luck. I can email all day everyday, mark it as urgent…etc and just get no reply. So im out $35 now. I see all these awesome reviews about them and how their customer service is outstanding. I don’t get it at all???? any ideas?

    So I know it’s not out yet but I’m seriously DYING for the new nail polish subscription box from thenailcollection.com
    It seems too good to be true with 4 nail polish bottles from brands including Essie and OPI at $30/month but I’m still gonna try it out to see the truth. Have you anyone here gotten any recent news on that site?

    What a great post:) Thanks for sharing. We are fans of a lot of the subscription boxes that you shared.
    Our kids really enjoy Kiddos Crate over at http://parentstlc.com. They also have a sibling kit for just a few dollars more. One other thing, that I really find rewarding is that. Parents TLC has 3 different subscription box services to choose from. #1 Baby Boutique #2 Mommy & Me and #3 Four-Legged Friends. We also purchased a Baby Boutique subscription box for our little girl (we get a wonderful variety of new clothes for her each month) . Overall, they have created a one stop shop, in which we have not seen with any other subscription box services. But once again, we truly are fans of the subscription box services that a lot of these companies have created. What wonderful services to be apart of. Especially for this SAHM:)

    I’m up in the air about the fancybox. I was looking at the Jennifer love Hewitt one but since I have no clue what could even be in it I’m stuck. I’ve read your reviews and have seen the pictures of things you have gotten and to be honest I’m not sure any of it is worth the money. I also see that you may have been over charged and that makes me nervous. I’m wondering what everyone else thinks of the fancybox

    I can’t wait for SignatureBoxx re-launch they did a test run Oct-Dec. for 24.99 per mth you got to choose 4 Fashion accessories of your choice. I’ve heard that its going to be 3 for $25 but its still a very good deal. They also have an online Boutique at http://www.aluefab.com and they carry some of the same items as BaubleBar for far less. I’m super excited about this box.

    This is an incredible list. I want to order all of them! Although I’m not sure if they will deliver outside the US. Would you have any idea if these subscription boxes are available globally?

       Where are you located? Some do and some don’t. But depending on your country there could be additional boxes available for you that aren’t on here.

    hello new follower here, i got a question for you, do you buy the subscription boxes yourself or do they send them to u free? do you ask for them or is there a site where there promoted or do they contact you just asking cause im a product reviewer myself through tomoson and i would like to branch out to subscription boxes someday but not sure how to do that other then maybe asking the companies myself

       Jennifer 25 May 2014 Reply

       Companies usually contact me to do reviews or I just buy the boxes I want to try on my own! I know some people have luck reaching out directly to subscription box companies as well, but I just purchase it if I really want to try one!

    I’m in love with Ipsy! They have beauty quiz that lets them know what kind of products you like the most. Also they have this Sneak Peak thing, it feels like surprise every month, keeps you excited! They send a lot of full size products. Plus it’s a new cute cosmetic bag every month. So much fun! $ 10 a month. Whole concept is just awesome. Totally worth it! Here if you are interested.
