Does anyone have any subscription recommendations as a treat each month?

Think I put this in the wrong section before so just asking on chat to see if anyone has any ideas. I’m thinking of taking out a monthly subscription of something as a perk me up treat each month… wondering if anyone subscribes to anything and if they’d recommend it? Thinking like a surprise box of nice treats but I’ve not got beyond that yet!

If anyone has any recommendations I’d love to hear them! Any category, I’m open to ideas!!

Freddies Flowers?

I get freddies flowers. I have set up the subscription for every two weeks, but I just cancel if I dont want one coming up.

I get coffee beans each month, it was a gift for Xmas 24 so have had it for a year now. I really appreciate good coffee so to me that’s a great subscription and I always forget every month until they come through the door 😄 Of course, it really depends what it is you like.

Just buy whatever you fancy. Flowers, chocolates, a book, whatever.

I don't think I've ever seen a subscription that wasn't expensive for what is is and a good chance you won't like all the bits included.

After a few months a load of unused things you don't like build up into wasteful clutter.

Agree with this. I have done a book subscription, graze boxes and scrawlr boxes before. The novelty wears off quickly and the tat tots up just as quickly.

Now I just choose one treat for myself a month. Much prefer this! Although I haven't tried a bacon or cheese subscription - they could possibly change my mind, but fatten my arse!

I'm treating DD to a subscription to The Beano, but I don't think that will appeal to you.
