Excellent gift for a new mum or someone expecting. Best thing is the bag can be used after you've finished with baby changing duties and lugging a million things around for your baby. #thebabyshow #madbag #giftsforchristmas #christmasgiftsforher #christmasgiftsfornewmums #giftsfornewmums #giftsformumtobe #uniquegiftideas #giftsforfriends #giftsformom #momlife #giftingnewmums #babyshowergifts #giftideasformoms #giftideasfornewmoms
Instagram post 18078611197149980 I love this little grate plate from ceramicaplateuk .. If you have a keen cook in the family or a friend who is a foodie, then this would make a great little present for them. Ceramica Grater plate is a handcrafted plate that grates things like ginger or garlic and various other food stuffs. It's useful, but forget that, just look at how pretty this is. Giving me serious Moroccan vibes. Would make a brilliant stocking filler or little gift. Also a really good ideas for a secret Santa gift? #christmasgiftideas #giftsforchristmas #stockingfillers #secretsantagift #secretsantagiftidea #giftsforcooks #giftsformum #giftsforvegans #giftsforher #giftsforhim #giftsforaspiringchef #giftsforchefs #prettykitchengifts #kitchengadgetgifts #kitchengadgets #stockingstuffers #grateplates #graterplates #giftsforsister #giftsforfriends #kitchengiftideas #uniquegiftideas #uniquegifts #veganfriendlygifts #giftsgiftsgifts #presentsforher #presentsforhim #presentsforfriends

Instagram post 17851628815723075 The famous Peppa and her family, now available in sock version. I saw these novelty family socks spiritfairs in Olympia and these were being sold by roysboyssocks .. I was so tempted to buy these, but had to refrain as Peppa Pig seems to have taken over the house lately. Anyway, I digress. These would actually make lovely Christmas socks for the whole family and I know the kids will love them. Roy's Boys actually have a great variety of socks and if you're looking to gift any, check out my blog on a review and options. #peppapigsocks #peppapig #christmasgiftideas #christmasgifts #uniquegifideas #giftsforallthefamily #giftsforalloccassions #giftsforkids #giftsforparents #giftsforfriends #giftsgalore #giftsgiftsgifts #stokenewington #shoreditchlondon #Camden #spitalfields #dalston #islington #londonolympia #hackney

BirchBox Gift Subscription Verdict – To buy or not to buy?

My birthday was in July and I received lots of lovely gifts thanks to my amazing friends and family.  One of the gifts I was given from lovely Sister-in- Law was a 3 month subscription to Birch Box. Having completed my 3 months of receiving this I wanted to review it. 

I personally really like the idea of subscription boxes. In my opinion they give you an opportunity to try lots of different products at an affordable monthly rate. There are a variety of subscription boxes out there ranging from make-up, skincare, tea/coffee to stationery. But do they make good gifts?

Reasons to Gift a Subscription Box?

  • Good for someone who likes to experiment.
  • Can be a good idea for people who are difficult to buy for. 
  • Excellent last minute gift
  • Paperless gift, so no need to wrap.
  • Fun and exciting.

Why Buy a Birch Box Subscription Gift?

  1. I loved my Birch Box Gift Subscription because I like make-up and skin care, and I like trying new products; the person who bought me the box knew this, so for me, it was a genuinely great present. 
  2. I also like the idea of a low cost monthly subscription. I can easily spend £10.00 on a lipstick or mascara so to have a few make up and skin care products land on my doorstep every month can be cost effective. HOWEVER, this is only cost effective if you don’t mind getting any products. You cant choose the products you will receive so it will be a mixture of make up and skin care. So if you’re buying this as a gift or a treat for yourself, bear that in mind. 
  3. I think the imaginatively designed boxes that come through the door are cute and can be re-used for a variety of things. 
  4. The products you get are high end and high street and give you an opportunity to try something that you may not have necessarily bought or could not afford to buy. 
  5. It’s exciting having something fun and interesting land on my doorstep other than bills and junk mail. I really look forward to getting my Birch Box every month and it feels like an extended gift as I still feel special 3 months after my Birthday. Makes me feel all warm and glow inside.

Why NOT to Buy a Birch Box Gift Subscription

  1. Not all products are full sizes. Some products are samples. I personally don’t mind this, but some people can be put off.
  2. Probably not the best present for someone who doesn’t like make up and skin care. (Do these people exist)?
  3. You can’t choose what products you will receive. This may put people off, but I don’t mind this. It’s like lucky dip through the letter box.   

Honestly I found very little wrong with receiving this as a gift. I loved it. There are so many people who would love to receive this. 

Who Can you Gift this to?

  1. A new Mum – Love to get this and have a pamper session.
  2. Teenagers – they are at the stage where they are experimenting with make-up and skin care.
  3. Sisters and Besties – I bet you can think of a few who this would be ideal for. 

It’s also coming up to Christmas soon (Is it too early to say that)? And these would make fantastic presents. You can also buy these online at the last minute and print out a gift voucher. The ideal last minute gift if you’ve forgotten someone. 

You can buy BirchBox Gift subscriptions here.  Also check for any discount codes/special offers online before you buy. Might save you a little bit of money.

If you want more information on how to save money whilst shopping for gifts, check out my comprehensive post on this here.

What do you think? Would you like to receive this as a gift? Would you gift this to someone? Do you think this works as a last minute Christmas gift? I would love to know your thought, so please leave a comment her or on my social media pages.

Until next time, Gift Goonie is signing out. X

    Having just bought some vegan beauty boxes via little known box I have to say it is the BEST present but I know there will be some products that just won’t work for my skin tone or that I just don’t like but out of say 5 products there might be 2 I can give to someone else so I think this is a great idea for someone who loves beauty!

    You summed this up really well. My sister got me a birchbox subscription for a birthday and like you it was the perfect gift for me. I loved the opportunity to try out new products and it was the gift that kept giving!

    I’ve never thought to gift a Birchbox to someone else but it’s such a lovely idea, especially if you know someone who wants to experiment a little bit more with beauty products! I used to be subscribed to Birchbox but I gave it up in the end because I just ended up with loads of sample size stuff that I had no interest in using. I did receive quite a few lovely products from them too, though. My fave subscription box at the moment is Little Known Box as it’s completely cruelty free!
