I bit…I really liked last year’s Resort SE box – I loved the Turkish towel and the clutch, which made the cost of purchase worth it, and even the stuff I knew I wouldn’t use I thought was well-curated. Most of it was really easy to swap or give to a friend.
The box I really hated last year was the Summer SE (I only kept the glasses and the olive oil and still haven’t used either one), so the Resort box’s value and curation will determine whether or not I buy the Summer box this year. I also cut way back on my subs this year and part of the deal I made with myself was that I’d continue getting the SE boxes.
I cancelled the monthly PS Must Have after November (but got the December box for free with my For Her Holiday box!), and I’m always skipping the month with Julep (the only reason I haven’t flat out cancelled yet is that as soon as my birthday hits in June, I’ll have enough Jules for a free box.). Since Tique box closed its doors, the only box I regularly sub to now is Indiespensable.
I’ve been living vicariously through the reviews of the monthly boxes and have to keep reminding myself that I don’t need any of this stuff. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the curation of the January and February boxes and definitely think it’s on an upward trend, but still haven’t felt the need to resubscribe.
