I want a regular treat for myself

[ChaosAndCuddlesAndTeacups]

...But I'm not sure what.

Like a magazine subscription without being a magazine.

Something I can look forward to each month that will make me smile and requires no effort from me to go out and get, but also not like a regular bunch of postal flowers either.

Does any one know of anything or have any suggestions?

Does such a thing exist?

We have family NT membership for regular days out (mostly for entertaining the kids)!

Oh I've remembered another one if you like reading. It's called A Box of Stories. They save books that had good reviews/sold well, but didn't make it onto bestseller lists so people tend not to have heard of them but ABoS stop them from just being thrown out/pulped if they haven't sold (I probably haven't explained that very well). I've had some great books from them and you can choose the type of books sent.

My treat to myself is a Brick Borrow subscription. I'm a lego loving adult and I don't care! I pay £15.99 per month to be able to choose my lego sets and then it's £4.99 for postage for each order.

Some months I'll have more than one as I complete them quickly and return them for another, and sometimes I'll have them for a few months if they're big and complex (my recent one I've had for about 8 weeks and would have cost about £300 if I'd bought it). Taking them apart is just as much fun to me as putting them together.

I love building lego but I object to the prices of the big sets and don't have room to display them, so it's perfect for me.

Aha - hello fellow BB'er!

not sure if this link will work or be allowed, but i used to subscribe to something similar to this, and i received a gift box every month with an 'acitvity' in.. great for the mental health too

You can also get monthly bead boxes, stationary ones, art ones, crochet, knitting etc if you’re into arts and crafts. You can even get gel polish monthly boxes! These days theres so much choice.

I had no idea these things existed let line so much to choose from.

Thank you all for the suggestions, I'm going to look through them all before I choose 🫶

Love it

This can be a risk with subscription services. I used to get a monthly candle from Iggy Box - when they ceased trading people lost money.

I get a special edition book each month from Fairyloot and I absolutely love opening it to find out what's been sent. It always seems to be a very new release as well so low change you already have it.

Audible? I signed up last year. Free book every month 👍

Here you go the gently used book club

@Imakeearrings sorry not sorry for all the extra work ;-) your work is really lovely

I've decided on a Tea Time Bookshop subscription, monthly Preloved book with a biscuit and (a surprise) hot beverage.

I will try it for 3 months and then try something different! I like the idea of a socks subscription 🤭

Thanks again all 🫶

What about a wax melt subscription from figandfox.co.uk?

Ooo I've just done something similar. Not a subs tho. I bought an expensive hair set. Keratase... cost me £96 but.. my hair is amazing. I got the premier ones. Pre shampoo. Shampoo and hair mask. I'm using it now for 6 weeks then maybe once a month. Would that work for you?

I get the Sonagi Korean facemask subscription for £12 a month for 5 or 6 masks.

depends what you're into. I don't get it at the moment, but I really enjoyed having a birchbox subsciption for a while. discovered lots of nice skincare, haircare and make up goodies.
the little boxes are useful for storage too, and pretty. and sometimes they come in things like toiletries or make up bags, tins etc. once had one in a reusable, sealable, silicone sandwich bag. very useful for a packed lunch.

definitely worth watching Nye. fantastic.

I treat myself to a full body massage once a month... Have done for 5 years now!

Aw wow! I've been looking for a special gift for my friends birthday and this is it! We are in Scotland too x
