AIBU to ask what unusual subscriptions you get?

[FelicityFlockheart]

So not the usual glossybox/ craft gin / Gousto ... I'm looking for something unusual that I may not have heard of before

For info, I subscribe to Leaf Envy, Bumboo and I receive various beauty boxes as part of my job so get all those.

So.. what is out there I may not be aware of?

Ben Cameron does an amazing pin badge subscription www.pinbadgeclub.com/

I got my hubby Flaming Licks chilli subscription for Christmas. Really tasty chilli sauces for different recipes. 😋

Toucanbox (kids crafts)
Bookabees (kids books)
Freddie’s Flowers

I also used to subscribe to a service where they would send you a slice of cake in the post every month. I don’t think they are still going but Sponge.co.uk do subscriptions where they will send you a whole cake every month. Maybe I will start that again...

@FelicityFlockheart What is Leaf Envy like? It is cheaper than the other subscription service I was thinking about. Am really interested but not sure what plants they send out.

We get Who Gives a Crap loo roll and Smol laundry and dishwasher detergent. I get a beauty box from Latest In Beauty, and thanks to MN recently signed up to Pyjama Drama! My daughter gets a Little Cooks co box. We used to get Weekend Boxes when the kids were littler - great stuff in the boxes but not great customer service...

I signed up to MyGeekBox for DH but it never arrived. We also get Craft Gin Club and a wine subscription from Laithwaites.

@BarbedBloom it's really good. You get unusual plants and they're a nice surprise. Always come packaged beautifully with a care card etc

The owner of the brand is really nice too and welcomes any questions.

Alternatively, buy the plants as and when you want. You tend to get more exclusive subscriber only ones though by signing up

It's just a nice thing to receive I think and the subscription gradually increases in plant care difficulty!

Just signed up for Bakedin. Bought dd the gin and tonic cup cake kit for Christmas and the were delicious,Vodafone offered a discount so signed up, but got to wait until June for first one

Sugar and sloth/tiny box party do great pins and extras. I love my little bit of happy post each month

@FelicityFlockheart Thank you. I have emailed them to ask if I can be bumped up a few levels from the start as am already experienced. I am obsessed with Calathea at the moment.

Really great thread. Nice to have something to look forward to atm

In our house we love Geekboxes . I get the mens so I can have the shirts as nighties. They are great.

Left field kombucha and esalon hair dye

I love the look of bokksu, but can’t justify it at the moment.

I got my first Leaf Envy subscription plant yesterday. A beautiful Boston Fern in a gorgeous pot. It is now gracing my bathroom as it likes humidity I'm looking forward to my next one.

Mud and bloom abd Bookabees for DS who is 2. Mud and bloom is nature, outdoor activities, seeds and Bookabees is books.

I get makebox & co which is a craft supscription every 2 minths which is fab! Just had a loom delivered from them in this months which is amazing!!
Esalon for my hair colour is fantastic would 1000% recommend, hair dye for your colour delivered to your door.

DH has an oddballs subscription - pants and socks every month.

I used to have a Lego subscription - but they stopped doing it, beyond gutted 😢

Www.thetruthbrush.com And I get a perfume subscription from Sniph and DH gets socks!

Have had a bakeful play subscription for my toddler - baking recipes that are toddler friendly.
DH has a spicery subscription (spice mixes and recipes for amazing curries) - I think he has a discount code for this if anyone is interested.
FFS razor blades - so good and pretty cheap.
Beer52 - 8 beers each month. Bit of a splurge but we're not going out at the moment (of course)

@Daisy169 Ooh I've just signed up for Bakeful
Play! Quite excited

I don’t get any but interested in the bloom and wild and Pajama drama one

I had a Genevieve Sweeney sock subscription for a while. Lovely pair of socks every month.

Signed my daughter up for Pasta Evangalists last week to cheer her up in lockdown.

I lead such an interesting life that I’m subscribed to ‘itch’ for my dogs flea stuff and ‘ top collar’ for her treats. The excitement.......

Houseplant subscription from bloombox

@Mkh873w Ooh what is the Japanese snack box subscription called?

Baker Ross craft one for my children. Interested in the plant one!
