Best Monthly Boxes to Try

For Clothing

1. StitchFix

Ah… of all of the monthly boxes I’ve ever tried, this is my ultimate favorite. I’ve tried StitchFix myself a few times, probably more times than I’d like to admit! (It’s addicting.) Here’s how it works: you complete a quick style profile and schedule a “fix”, the date when a giant, totally-gorgeous box of hand-picked, styled-for-you clothing arrives on your doorstep. Hand-picked. By a stylist who knows what they’re doing (most of the time). Try ‘em on and keep the ones you want… return the ones you don’t want in the pre-paid shipping envelope. It’s so. so. so. easy. If you hate trying on clothes at stores, this is the ultimate fix.

P.S. Dudes: there’s now (finally!) a men’s clothing service, similar to Stitch Fix. It’s called Trunk Club.

Some of the pieces I’ve picked (and kept) in the past: a long wool trench coat (for Fall, and I can’t freaking wait to wear it)… dolman tops… a blue tunic… scarf… oh, it’s so much fun.

For Nails

2. Julep

What can I say about Julep? It’s the best monthly box for people who love nail polish. Really pretty, trendy, fashionable shades of polish. The bottles are oh-so-cute and your nails ALWAYS look fantastic. I thought, seriously, I’ll just go buy nail polish from the store if I want it so bad, but then the free nail polish offer from Julep encouraged me give it a try. Free polish? Sign me up. Plus, I wanted to try it so I could share my findings with all of you. So I tried the Summer Nights Welcome Box LOVED it (it was FREE). Would recommend it. You can cancel anytime (and if you do try this, I recommend cancelling right away unless you want your credit card charged again next month with another delivery. Just sayin!) Sometimes they throw in a fun beauty product (I received an eyeliner once that was uber-smooth).

For Wedding

3. The Bride Box

The Bride Box is fun, especially if you’re planning your wedding! You can gift to a friend or to yourself. They send a box every month filled with fun wedding swag. Once, I received a burlap print with me & my husband’s wedding date on it! It was super gorgeous and looks fantastic in the frame I bought for it. Other memorable things I got: a chalkboard banner, rhinestone I Do stickers, drink koozies, photo booth props… Try it here.

For Makeup

4. LipMonthly

If you love lip gloss, lip stick, lip glaze, lip stain — essentially, anything in the makeup realm for lips — THIS is the best monthly box for you! I received one of these boxes to try and it was really fun. I received a bright red lipstick, a pink lip gloss/stick (it’s now my go-to shade), a lip stain, lip liner, and a hair product sample. Really cute assortment and fun to receive in the mail! Give it a try here. (We’re affiliates, but only because we love this box!)

For Jewelry

5. BezelBox

Oh, Bezel Box. This one has stolen my heart. It’s the best monthly boxes for jewelry! They sent me a box to try and I received a few pieces of fun costume jewelry, along with some practical pieces (a mint bracelet with a little bling and a gorgeous pair of dangling earrings). Oh, if you love jewelry… you need this now. Sign up at Bezel Box.

So, which one of these boxes looks the most alluring?
