skimomma Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I am looking for modestly priced subscription box ideas as a Christmas gift. There is so MUCH out there, I cannot narrow anything down. Anyone have ideas? I'd like 3-6 monthly deliveries. Recipient is into sketching, painting, music, travel, all things outdoors/camping/hiking, and pampering/spa. She is not really into makeup or nails. And she hates knickknacks so consumables would be best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 since she likes travel do you think she'd like a subscription box with international foods? I gave one to my DIL last Christmas that she enjoyed. It was called IndieFix and the snacks came from india. I gave another daughter one called ICONfitbox which she liked a lot. She is into fitness and outdoorsy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amiesmom Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Since you said she enjoys painting, maybe check out Let's Make Art. They have a really nice watercolor subscription box as well as an art journaling box. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 My 18 year old has enjoyed Sketchbox for years. I usually get a subscription in November for 3-6 months every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 My 18 y.o. dd gets Ipsy and Birchbox. She's not into makeup or nails, either, but she likes the skincare and spa type stuff. She's also gotten Owlcrate for several years and still enjoys it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 My daughter loved Vegan Cuts. There are 3 different subscriptions: Makeup (which I see would not work for you), Beauty (skin and hair care) and snacks. We are not vegan but my daughter only wants to use cruelty-free cosmetics so that's why I picked it. It was a lot of fun and seemed to be good value. Downside is that I found a few products I really liked and they were too expensive to keep buying. 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Homeschooler Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 My daughter also did Sketchbox for a while. I can't remember too much but she liked it! Universal Yums may be good as they send snacks from different countries and you learn a little bit about different locations. I follow a youtuber, Georgia Sunshine, who almost exclusively reviews subscription boxes and she has two teens. It may be good for ideas for you-and she gets Universal Yums so you can see what that box is like if you search her feed. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6z0HqEOyURm0WQY7hPmrgQ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Does she like perfumes? Maybe she'd like a subscription from www.scentbox.com or www.scentbird.com. Edited December 2, 2020 by klmama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she would like perfume but unfortunately, I cannot tolerate it and we still live in the same house! Even heavily scented hair/body products can set me off so we try to avoid them as much as possible. That is one danger with the spa-type boxes.

Do you happen to notice whether they have good ingredients, or a lot of artificial stuff and chemicals/colors? Thinking of it for my teens. Can a box be easily shared? And if so, by how many? I’m sorry for all the questions! I’d never heard of it before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I had never heard of Universal Yums until this thread but I did purchase just the holiday box for us this year. It will definitely be something new to look forward to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 This thread has had me looking at so many subscription boxes today! I actually found one for my 20 year old writer!

kristin0713 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 We LOVE Universal Yums. I ordered it for my DD as part of her Countries and Cultures class this year and it has been a big hit. My two kids usually share the smaller box and it's plenty for them. This month, I splurged on the largest box because it is a Christmas Around the World theme. Here's a referral code for $5 off if you want! https://www.universalyums.com/?uy=y37yk8b2qy We have also done a lot of free tutorials from LetsMakeArt and they are wonderful. I would happily try their subscription if we were looking for a monthly art box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
