6 Subscription Boxes Beyond Birchbox
Birchbox, everyone's fave subscription box, seems to have started a trend that just won't die: That of the monthly subscription box. And why should the trend end? Everyone loves getting fun stuff in the mail! These days, there are so many different kinds of subscription boxes, one for every interest and every persuasion. Here are a few fun boxes you might not have known about.
Julep's Maven
The nail polish company Julep has a monthly subscription box called Maven. It’s nail-polish focused, of course, but other beauty products are delivered each month, as well. Perfect for people who just can’t get enough of nail art, Maven is $19.99 per month.

Yarnbox
If you’re a knitter, you need Yarnbox. Yes, it’s a box of yarn every month, but Yarnbox is curated to fit you as a knitter: the size of needles you want, the colors you like, and more. Yarnbox also lets you choose your membership level (with prices going down depending on how long you subscribe). From $21 to $36, depending on the plan you purchase.

MistoBox
Craft coffee, delivered straight to your door. I’m not really a coffee drinker, but I know more than a few caffeine fiends in my own life who would think a MistoBox subscription was the best gift ever. Either $19 or $30 per month, depending on your subscription.

WhimseyBox
Each month, Whimseybox sends you a different DIY craft project, complete with all materials and instructions. You can follow their tips or go rouge and use your own creativity. This would be pretty cool for kids or teens, too, I bet. What’s extra cool is that each Whimseybox also includes an original 5x7 art print. $15 per month.
