We even got rid of cable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670392 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:21:20 +0000 keiki_mama 670392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am subscribed to Birchbox and I used to have a Glossybox subscription but they were always so late with their boxes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670350 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:08:03 +0000 Cole 670350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just subscribed to Birchbox, I figure I will give it 3 months, the first box was fine but not super exciting. I also am doing Stitch Fix quarterly, it is different in that you pay $20 to have clothes sent to you and then pay for the clothes you want to keep (minus the $20) but it was a lot of fun and I really liked most of what they sent me . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670251 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:40:40 +0000 kjpugs 670251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cupcake: oh it is amazing. It's so great if you have stuff you don't like!!! You can search "Julep Swap" (the header is the march collection right now) or try this link: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/home.php#" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/home.php#</a>!/groups/247031492082531/ not sure if it will work. It's not affiliated with Julep and other polishes are swapped/sold too, but it's mostly (50%+) Julep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670246 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:38:54 +0000 Cupcake 670246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: no! I didn't know there was such a dangerous thing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670196 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:23:24 +0000 kjpugs 670196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cupcake: are you in the swap group on facebook? That is my CRACK. I pre-swapped one last month and deeply regretted it when I saw it in person, lol! But it's nice if I like one set except one color, it's usually easy to trade! Or, if you just like one color, to buy off someone or trade, instead of having to take the whole box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670190 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:22:02 +0000 T-Mom 670190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thenetexan: aww man, ok.. thanks for letting me know! We are still subscribed to Kiwi Crate, but I think I may be cancelling. It's just too much to keep up with, and with the exception of one activity, everything has been a bit of a bust (but very nicely packaged), at least for us... I think @Mrs. Bee: had a similar experience... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670184 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:21:23 +0000 Cupcake 670184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: first month I skipped too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670146 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:09:46 +0000 kjpugs 670146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cupcake: this was the FIRST month ever in almost a year that I skipped! I just had too many dupes. I have a friend though who pimps the secret store to me and vice versa if we skip so we can see what they have and order and just pay the friend, LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-670136 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:05:41 +0000 Cupcake 670136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KJfromNJ: I'm a julep junkie!

It's a nail polish monthly subscription. Maybe I'm just the only nail polish junkie? Shameless plug with my referral link: <a href="http://www.julep.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.julep.com/</a> [Sorry we don't allow referral links because of our self-promotion policy! - Mr. Bee] but yeah that's the only one I do, but I cancelled birchbox to go with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-669991 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:17:42 +0000 Thenetexan 669991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-mom: I followed your link to the wonder box and it says it is no longer available and recommends kiwi crate instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-669816 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:33:14 +0000 anbanan15 669816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are subbed to Citrus Lane for all of 2013 (gifts). I am loving it!!</p> <p>I bought a 1 month gift sub to Wittlebee just to see what all the hype was about and it took over 2 months to get and I was not that impressed. We will not be doing it again.</p> <p>When DS is a little older I want to do BabbaCo!! I think he will love all the activities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-669807 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:19:17 +0000 tequiero21 669807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subbed to citrus lane for 2 months.

I wish they would send me more makeup samples instead of the same types of hair products, perfumes, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-421690 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:58:23 +0000 T-Mom 421690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: yeah I'm a Sephora sample junkie too.. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-421685 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:55:07 +0000 Meridian 421685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Hrmm, that's a good point. I do tend to get a lot of samples (from Sephora) which end up unused in a drawer. Maybe I'll let my husband keep his money... for now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-421664 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:46:54 +0000 T-Mom 421664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I also have my eye on Wonder Box! <a href="http://www.education.com/wonder-box/" rel="nofollow">http://www.education.com/wonder-box/</a></p> <p>@sweetchic: if you like samples, you will like Birch box. I received a gift sub, but I was kind of expecting it to be more full size products. You usually get like one full size sample per box and several small samples. After I realized it's only like $10/month though, it made more sense. It's fun to get a lot of samples, but at the same time, I don't know what to do with all of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-421585 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:22:27 +0000 Meridian 421585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not subbed to anything, but maybe I'll ask for a Birch Box sub for Christmas...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-421036 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 08:37:50 +0000 MrsHotDog 421036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have Bluum box and I love it! If you follow them on Pinterest, they have discount codes. I don't think they have any right now. </p> <p>I only have Bluum box but I want to ask for Birch Box for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-420679 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:47:16 +0000 chopsuey 420679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister's obsessed with box subscriptions..<br /> She's subbed to birch box, crave box, and at least one more.

I missed the weekend deals for them :( but I recently gifted a friend's 4 year old a 3 month kiwi crate subscription. She got her first box recently and her kids really liked it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-420607 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:20:54 +0000 Andrea 420607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, I am interested in the craft boxes so I can't wait to hear your review. The ones for the clothes don't seem great so I don't think I will try them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-subscribed-to-any-monthly-box-subscriptions#post-420589 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:13:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 420589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I subbed to babbaco and kiwi crate with a black friday deal. Post comparing the two will be forthcoming once the boxes arrive and I do the crafts with Charlie!</p> <p>Other than that I'm not subbed to anything. I cancelled Wittlebee. There are so many fun ones out there, but alas budget does not allow!</p> <p>Which ones are you subbed to? Which ones do you love? </p>
