All the Books! discussion

Does anyone have a subscription box or want to recommend any?

Here is the website of all the subscription boxes you can receive! my.subscription.addiction

I currently receive Ipsy bags every month.

Just got my first subscription box...the razor one! $6 for a razor and 3 extra cartridges. holy cheap.
I want the Ipsy one but I was having problems with the sign up. So if I can get that fixed.....do you think it is worth the $10?

I've been getting the Ipsy bag for about 3 years now. I really like it. They give you a new makeup bag every month with about 4-5 samples of products. Every month you can rate what you got and it'll help with the next month because if you didn't like something, they'll never send it again. The sample sizes are pretty good too.

I've been thinking about getting that book of the month subscription - they donate to a different charity every month and you get 1-2 books plus "book swag". But it looks like it's all full and I didn't see a wait-list..

I would like the swag but I have been pulled over to the dark side and prefer ebooks now. Just easier for me to put my kindle in my purse and I have all the books at my finger tips. I had no idea there were so many different boxes!
Ok you convinced me I joined Ipsy

I have used Ipsy on and off too Brandy and it's a nice bang for your buck. I'm not super courageous with my makeup or hair so I liked that for $10 it was a small commitment to trying something new and I would get four or five new things for that $10. You can also get full size items if you really dig the sample you get. They also make cute gifts if you get a lip color or eye color or whatever that you just will never use.

I never thought about using it for a gift!

Oh yah, last year I had accumulated 2 or 3 samples over a few months-not all months in a row because Ipsy is pretty spot on with sending me samples I would be into-so I added them to a small gift for my mother in law that I felt wasn't complete yet. They were perfect for her style but not mine and she loved them so much that she started using Ipsy as well.

Has anyone tried the Graze Box? I just did a free sample one and they are really good! they are perfect size for a little snack and they tell you how many calories right on the little packet. I had it sent to my work and it is great to have a few snack options at my desk that are healthy and I wont be able to over do it.

That's awesome, I haven't tried that one. Can you receive a free sample without giving your credit card info?

no, but you can cancel right after

I decided to do the "Uppercase" box subscription.

In it you get:
- Incredible Brand New, Hardcover Young Adult Book
- Signed Book or Bookplate Signed by the Author
- 1-2 High-Quality, Exclusive and Custom Bookish Items
- Uppercase Reading Experience with Exclusive Content
- Special Hand-Written and Personalized Note to You

I got my first box this month! It's pretty cool.

Once Upon a Book Club is fantastic! You get one new book and a box full of little wrapped gifts that coincide with what you are reading. Each one is marked with a page number and you open it when you get to that page. Totally immersive experience.

That sounds awesome!
What genre do you typically get?
