I was bought a reading subscription from Mr B's emporium a couple of years ago which was brilliant and got me out of a book rut. Might treat myself to one soon actually.

I'm about to sign up for bakedin baking subscription (damn you all and your glorious suggestions 😂!) and noticed you can earn 'brownie points' if you refer people so if anyone who is a member wants to post their referral link happy to use it so they get themselves some points?

Mindful Chef here,I get 5 meals a week for 2 people.
They are expensive,but the recipes and ingredients are top notch.My daughter recommended them to me and they have taken the stress out of lockdown for me as regards planning meals.
Recipes are only repeated about every 3 months.

I get Flamingo Candles wax melt subscription box, £10 a month for 8 wax melts including delivery. The smells are generally gorgeous (get a dud one here or there) and they have a lovely strong throw.
I used to get degustabox but it ended up being too vegan/health based - I bought it as a treat, not to be healthy!

Another Gousto fan here. Signed up a few weeks before this all kicked off on a special offer thing and was going to cancel or pause once it got to full price but didn’t as four nice meals a week was a huge bonus.
The food is lovely, there’s plenty of choice and it’s a sociable easy way to cook together as a family.

I get Bloom & Wild flowers once a month, which I love. They arrived yesterday and have really cheered me up.
I’ve recently restarted my Riverford fruit and veg box delivery during lockdown. They also deliver milk and eggs.
Not a box, but DS(12) has a subscription to the Phoenix comic - which he absolutely loves. There’s a quote from a kid saying they’d rather read it than play video games which made me roll my eyes, but seriously, even my Fortnite crazy son will take time out to read and re-read the comics. First 4 issues are £1 too, then £9.99 a month. Well worth it.

A bit different but we have a weekly bread subscription to a not for profit sourdough bakery that employs and trains refugee women. We pay a set amount each week and we get a fantastic loaf of bread. We do the lucky dip subscription so we never know which type of load it will be :-)

not a box subscription exactly, but there's some good deals around on magazine subscriptions at the moment - £1 for three issues, £6 for six magazines.
Usually only read magazines at the hairdressers, but since I wont be catching up on them there, I thought some light reading would be entertaining.
Red and Vanity Fair on the way.

We get a couple my partner gets beer 52 monthly which he enjoys and also earns him credits so he bought himself an extra box during lockdown so I could go to the supermarket before 10am and not have to bother about not being able to buy alcohol.
He also hey touchstone which is a shaving one, he swears by the shaving gel.
I get birchbox which I got as a Christmas present for 3 months. I really like it I love a facemask and I have actually purchased things I tried from it later (on ASOS as it was half the price but still).
We are 27/29 with no kids so have a decent disposable income :)

I love a subscription box!

Bookabees every 12 weeks which is 3 books for £19.99
I get a make box & Co bi monthly for myself which is £25 and has a craft activity in for myself this recent one was looming which I've thoroughly enjoyed
