It seems like we learn about a new subscription box almost every day - so we decided it would be fun to try a little roundup of some interesting new boxes at the end of each month, and let you vote for which ones we review next.

(Since this is our first time doing this, we're including a few interesting boxes that launched at the end of 2016 too.)

As always, thank you for being an MSA reader and telling us your thoughts! Be on the lookout for the "Best Of 2016" voting results soon, too!

The poll is at the bottom of the post. And if there are other boxes you'd like to see us review that aren't listed here, please let us know in the comments!

Miroja is pretty awesome. I’ve gotten it for two months already. They are also super responsive to feedback.

ETA:

First month was a medium-sized air plant and a cool holder, a medium-sized succulent with pot, and some melamine plates.

Second month was a huge air plant, a cute (small-ish, I’m using it to hold beading projects) tote, and a tea towel with a lovely print.

I’d love to see reviews of Citrus Hill (although their website needs some professional help) and Leaf. I’d also recommend Hungryroot (not sure if it’s new). I’ve been ordering lunches from them for a couple weeks and think they deserve some attention. 🙂 I actually feel like I’m eating enough veggies for once in my life.

poll wouldnt load.. my vote is def for the Disney princess box, stationary box please no more beauty boxes or that lip gloss box and please no more clothing boxes. How about some unique boxes.. Im so glad you finally added Panduh Box it has been BY FAR my best sub box experience so far other than my lovely fat cat Pusheen’s box. Oh yeah.. the SPOOKY box is one of the best boxes out there for real.

Yes to Citrus Hill and Miroja!

Maybe I’m just punch-drunk and overthinking from current events, but the name Sugarbash seems opportunistic in a mean way that really bothers me.

Please review Miroja, it looks unique and interesting. Also Nestify!

Since I could only vote on one I picked the tea – but I’m also curious about the book one, Citrus Hill, and Leaf.

Still sort of bemused at the throw one – is there anyone who needs that many throws?

I know, right? Exactly what I was thinking.

Cloth and paper sounds very unique so I’d love to see that one reviewed and also the Miroja box. That one looks so good I’m debating on signing up before I even see the reviews on it!

A couple of new natural beauty boxes that recently launched are Bare Element and Maple Blume. Also, a couple of U.K. beauty boxes that recently started to ship to the U.S. are Mintd and Look Incredible. Finally, even though these aren’t new, it’d be nice to see some WOC boxes reviewed on MSA like Cocotique, Onyx Box, Curl Kit or Curl Box.

Citrus Hill for myself. The Disney Princess box for my daughter.

I was thinking citrus hill also, then I looked at their website and it seems like kind of a rip off. It looks like you can purchase items for around $20 each, which equals the $100 you’re paying for a “mystery”. Maybe that’s just me though…sorry, it’s late, my mind is drifting. 😜

The items that are in the boutique are from previous boxes as a la carte options. They are posted long after the sold boxes are delivered. A la carte options may not be available in every size so if the theme is something your are interested in, it’s beneficial to order a box to gaurantee your size. Each theme is individually priced based on the items it contains so if an item makes it to a la carte that pricing will vary too.

Hope that clears the confusion. 🙂
