MSAforum

In case you didn't know, My Subscription Addiction has a forum where we talk about all things subscription boxes--spoilers, feedback, and more. 

We have a whole category dedicated to swaps, including tips and tricks related to the MSA swap site, best practices, a thread on optimizing shipping $ and using PayPal shipping, an In Search Of (ISO) thread which is remarkably effective at finding matches for elusive swap items, plus many other topics.

Sometimes we talk about subscription boxes In the News/Media. Most recently we discussed subscription boxes as a new shopping trend and saw MSA’s founder, Liz, featured in a TV station’s news story.

We are now wrapping up our first ever Trick or Treat box exchange which was a lot of fun. In this exchange, we swapped  names and sent each other themed boxes. At least one item in the box had to be from a subscription box to begin with. If you’d like to see some of the box reveal photos, click here.

Our Traveling Swap Box is on a tour around the USA. It started in Michigan in August and is currently en route to New Jersey. The latest spoilers from the box can be seen here.

Here is the Traveling Swap Box visiting Bay City, Michigan, and an in-person hand off in New York City.

We will be announcing the guidelines and starting sign-ups for this in early November on the Forum.

In case you are interested, we have done one other Secret Santa exchange so far. Here are the guidelines we followed for the first round: http://forum.mysubscriptionaddiction.com/discussion/294/secret-santa-guidelines-july-2015-ended We will be modifying these slightly for the next exchange.

Here are some box reveal photos (sharing photos was optional): http://forum.mysubscriptionaddiction.com/discussion/316/secret-santa-july-2015-photos/p1

Good to know – thanks for the info! I’m still on the waiting list for the swap section of this site, but it looks like the Discussion section is separate?

Yes, the Forum is totally separate from the Swaps part of MSA, but we do talk about swaps often. 🙂
