Found a great idea for gift gifting today that I had to share with you. I have seen food boxes and beauty boxes, but these are even better in my opinion. These boxes make great gifts for someone who’s hard to buy for or even a special treat for yourself!
OliveBox is a subscription box for people who love all things paper, love getting something in the mail, and love surprises! They have monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, and annual subscriptions. Grace Kang of OliveBox, describes it this way:
After an age of electronic everything, we are finally back to being excited over beautiful, handwritten letters and receiving a physical gift in the mail. Everyone is so busy these days and we think it’s time to press pause. Take a moment to enjoy the journey, and savor that moment whenever you get the chance.
Papirmasse is a subscription to art that’s only $5/month. Here is what they have to say:
Papirmasse is a magazine, work of art, and social experiment all rolled into one.
We want everyone to have art – real art. Not the fake paintings sold at department stores or the same tired old posters every college student has. No! We want images to travel, and people to get excited about seeing…Paintings are expensive because they are one-of-a-kind. But prints can multiply. Our mandate is to create a new generation of art collectors by making art accessible for all. This is art that comes to you, whoever and wherever you are. We showcase the freshest work from over 40 artists and writers every year. Don’t miss out.
WHAT YOU GET: A monthly art print of varying size with contemporary writing on the flipside. We strive to publish a variety of styles in both art and writing: that means that over the course of a year you might receive graffiti-inspired portraits, landscapes, illustrations, and short stories, essays, graphic novel excerpts, and poems – to name just a few possibilities. Our format changes from month to month, meaning that each print is truly a surprise.
For the fashion-forward DIYer, there is For the Makers. A monthly subscription box that contains all the ingredients to make your own fashion-forward jewelry or home/paper goods from two New York jewelry designers.
For the Makers is a space for sharing ideas, skills and inspiration…Receive all the materials to make four fashion-forward DIY projects each month. Projects range from jewelry and wearable accessories to home and paper goods. Every project has easy step-by-step instructions but we encourage you to put your own spin on each one. You’ll find the runway trends behind the box as well as tips, tricks and techniques from expert designers. The subscription is just $29 a month and shipping is always free. We hope you’ll share what you make with us as we create a destination for living beautifully, creatively and curiously.
