I could—and would—do it. That's a lot of money, I'm very competitive, and she was absolutely seeing results.

I'm waiting for people to start pointing out here that 90 minutes of exercise a day is crazy. Look, some of us like to work out and really like being in shape. My mom worked out 90 minutes a day for the vast majority of my childhood and I probably get near it too. I find it sad that people don't blink at watching…

I saw reviews for that and it looked amazing! I'm a geek but I'm afraid I'm not as well rounded of a geek for that box.

My mom does the same with her Birchbox—I think it's adorable.

I would send you mine, too, it's a color I could never wear (although I think it's awesome!).

My gentleman is thinking about the Man Birchbox so I'm glad to hear it's good!

This is the end-all, be-all list:

Excellent! This is my thread and I'm all about self-promotion so everyone can promote the fuck out of their subscription box business in it! I hope you get new people and I will look at it when I get home from work :)

Well, that just made me feel much better because I'm certainly not doing that! I figure that if I stay under $100 or so a month, that's fine, because that's within my budget for stupid crap that I probably shouldn't be buying. I tend to just toggle my drinking budget around to accommodate and getting skin cream is…

RIGHT? I'm so glad this thread took off! I didn't realize so many people wanted to talk about this as much as I did! I like Birchbox, I know a lot of people don't but I have found I get exactly the sort of stuff I like (skin products and hair products). Last month I even got one of those stupid knotted hair ties…

So, basically, you get a box every month based on something: Beauty, food, dogs, Etsy style sellers, whatever. Often it's samples and they are at least the value you paid but sometimes considerably more—of course it's possible you won't like anything in it. I used to be really into "of the month" clubs and this…

Barkbox is so expensive though. How have you liked it?

I love that blog. I have it down to the next box being Dottiebox, Wantable, or FitFabFun.

They aren't all even samples—I've gotten a number of full sized things out of them.

WHICH ONE? You must tell me. Or direct message me or whatever Jezebel has in place for that sort of thing (it does, right?).

Oh! And I just signed up for a letterpress box (talk about a specific audience but I'm in the 1% of the population that still writes letters).

WHAT IS WITH THE PERIOD BOXES?? There are like 10 different companies offering them—it seems so weird to me!

I've only received one month of Ipsy and I liked it, so I'm sticking with it for now.

I'm currently only with Birchbox and Ipsy...but I keep eyeing others.

I want to mock these people but I can't because I am a big fan of subscription boxes and that's almost the same thing—getting surprised by stuff I could easily buy but find much more interesting when someone else sends it to me.
