Birchbox: the Holiday Gift that Gives All Year Long
This post is brought to you by Birchbox. All opinions are 100% my own.
I’ve finally ticked a few items off my Christmas shopping list. Go me! How about you?
Speaking of gifts, what kind of items do you like to give? I usually try to offer gifts that I know people will love: something they will enjoy, even if it’s frivolous, and that will put a huge smile on their face. It’s even better if I can find something they’ll love and that will bring joy throughout the year. In other words: fun, useful, and long lasting. If I can find a gift meeting that trifecta of requirements, I know it’s the perfect one.
An easy way to find that perfect gift is to consider a monthly gift box subscription, like Birchbox.
Birchbox is a monthly box subscription that delivers the best and brightest of beauty and grooming products right to your front door. Available for both men and women, it’s an excellent way to carry the fun of a Christmas gift into the rest of the year. You can choose a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription for your gift recipient, and they’ll get a box full of surprises every month!
My Birchbox for December came with a great lineup of products: Tocca hand lotion, Klorane dry shampoo, Cynthia Rowley eyeliner, Laqa & Co. lipstick, and Reviver dry deodorant for clothes. I love the quality of everything, and I love that I get a handful of fun samples to play with before I buy a full-sized product. (Also, how awesome are these for traveling? Perfect!)
The Women’s Box offers 4-5 beauty and lifestyle product samples specially tailored for the recipient. You’ll find products from popular brands, up-and-comers, and everything in between. The Men’s Box has 3-4 monthly product samples as well as one full-size lifestyle product, again tailored for the recipient.
How are the products tailored? You (the giver of this super gift) pick from three different profile options to match the personality of the gift recipient. Recipients can always change preferences later, but for their first gift box, you can choose from:
- Customer Favorites: Tried-and-loved winners that top customers’ favorites
- Classic Lady / Classic Gentleman: Timeless items that never go out of style
- Trendsetter / Fashion-Forward Guy: Brand new products from cult brands and new lines
Pricing for The Women’s Box starts at $30 for 3 months and goes to $110 for a 12-month subscription (which is one month free). The Men’s Box starts at $60 for 3 months and $195 for 12 months (that’s two months free). If your recipient loves something in their box, they can also purchase full-sized products from Birchbox!
In addition to their regular subscription options, Birchbox is offering some fabulous, one-of-a-kind sets for the holidays, including:
- Birchbox Limited Edition Boxes
- 3 Exclusive Limited Edition Boxes for Women
- Home Sweet Homespun
- Vanity Affair
- Conscious Commerce for Women
- 2 Exclusive Limited Edition Boxes for Men
- Decked & Dashing
- Conscious Commerce for Men
- Unique gift sets and products from brands like…
- Cynthia Rowley, Caudalie, Beauty Protector, Baxter of California, Blind Barber, and Mr. Natty
Birchbox is perfect for anyone who wants to extend the Christmas gift-giving experience throughout the year, and especially great for those hard-to-buy-for recipients.

This type of boxes are fun. Sometimes one shows up in the mail right when you need some love. It is always nice to get introduced to products you don’t know about or have been wanting to try.

I hear so many wonderful things about the birch box. I would love to try it out!
I have heard of these box sets but did not realize they were so reasonable, and the product brands inside are very impressive!

They really are a good value, and they’re so much fun if you’re into beauty products!
That’s cool that they are finally offering something for men. Hopefully they’ll start a regular monthly plan for us.

We have 5 grown daughters and 5 grown sons…this would be a perfect gift for them for Christmas. SCORE. No going to the mall and no wrapping presents. Sweet!

It’s always fun to get a package in the mail, well, usually. This would be a great gift idea. The items are products we already use. Now we can try new brands.
There are four girls/women in my household so something like this would certainly be used.
I’ve not heard of this subscription company before. This is a great idea for teens and women who love beauty products!
I’ve been a subscriber of Birchbox for a year now and I really like it. Some months are really good and some are bad but overall with the review points and free magazines I got with them like Us weekly and womens day It comes out to a very inexpensive and I get to discover tons of new products
I’m a nail polish addict so I have a subscription to the Julep Maven box, where I get three nail polishes (or other beauty products) each month. I love it because you can customize your box from their pool of offerings. But it’s a little pricier so I may downsize to Birchbox one of these days!
I love getting these type boxes in the mail. I have gotten several from different companies and love each one for a different product.

I haven’t tried Birchbox, but subscription boxes are fun for checking out new products.
It would be such fun to get a surprise present in the mail every month!
I like this idea as a Christmas present so you get something all year long!

This looks really neat, i’d love Birchbox for myself and it’d make the perfect gift for my sister!
I love subscription boxes. I wish I had thought to put them on my Christmas list! This looks so nice!
Such a nice gift idea. I should do this for my niece who is in college. A little something special 🙂
