Subscriber Survey: What Item Are You Always Happy to See in a Box?

Sunday Subscriber Survey time! Last week we asked what item you are tired of getting in subscription boxes, and I think it was our most answered post of all time! So, it only seems fair to flip the question for this week!

What item(s) are you always happy to see in subscription boxes?

Despite my ever-growing collection, I'm still always thrilled to see a palette in a box! And I never can get enough body scrub in boxes!

What item(s) do you always love getting in boxes?

P.S. If you have an idea for a future Subscriber Survey question, let me know in the comments!

Alcohol, specifically when I see the shipping notice from Robb Vices that says Adult Signature required. 🙂

I’ve already commented once, but I thought of something else. I don’t wear a lot of makeup. Just after I apply a “zillion” aging creams and what not, I only use concealer, foundation and blush. I’d love to get some high quality concealers that actually work, especially the area under eye. At least samples of different brands to try. My dream is to find one that actually works. And if anyone has any suggestions, please comment. Thank you!

Candles or reed diffusers… Always. There aren’t too many scents that I do not like, but if it happens to be one that I do not like they are a great gift for somebody almost always.

Other than that I really like delicate necklaces or some of the ring styles that were offered when Little Lace Box- was around.

I’m a huge fan of color. When lipstick isn’t BROWN, like they always seem to be, I’m happy!

From Beauty boxes- colored eyeliners, mascara, eye shadow palettes.
From snack and world food boxes-wierd things I would never try. In the world box area-Universal Yums is really good at that though.

I love to see gourmet treats, throw blankets and high-end skin or hair care! Oppositely, I’m not usually a fan of the jewelry included in boxes (usually feels like the retail value is inflated and so often, the items just don’t suit my taste … they feel more like overstock items and not on-trend, “must-have” pieces).

I have never received a luxe hand towel in a sub box, but that seems like a great idea. Something high-end that would be nice in a guest bathroom??

Favs are face mask(sheet), eye creams for puffiness/fine lines, waterproof mascara(I wear it and only ever received it 2 times!), make up brushes, items that are good for sensitive skin and that are cruelty free are HUGE in my book! Last but not least I love to receive make up palettes with a wide assortment of colors to try.
