There is nothing quite like getting fun packages delivered to your door. Especially when they include all of your favorite essentials. In this post, you will find tons of must-have college budget subscription boxes that don’t break the bank.
Some of these I have tried already and some of these I cannot wait to try this year, but of course, I would never recommend anything that I wouldn’t purchase myself!
Everything from beauty, to food, to clothes- there are subscription boxes for just about everything these days!
Ipsy
Most people have heard about this company, so I figured that it was a good place to start. Ipsy is a beauty and skincare brand that creates a bag of products based on your needs and wants.
There is a preliminary questionnaire that gathers your information to determine the best products for you.
They also send you other products and brands in order to introduce you to new things, so it can be perfect for people (like myself) who don’t really know how to make decisions about their makeup.
Cost: $12
Blue Bottle Coffee
For coffee drinkers, there are many different options offered by Blue Bottle Coffee.
You can choose between blends, single origins, & espresso; the size of your bags; and the frequency of delivery. After going through the option, I chose the Half Bag of blends every other week.
If you need coffee gear, you can get it right from them as well.
Cost: $11
Simple Loose Leaf
If coffee isn’t your thing, check out Simple Loose Leaf for all of your tea essentials.
Personally, I do not know much about tea. When looking into Simple Loose Leaf, I am hoping to try out their quarterly box. You can choose the type of tea you would prefer as well as the frequency of delivery.
Cost: $15
Care/Of
Care/Of may be one of the most thorough companies that I have worked with. Their questionnaire regarding my health was not just about my health needs but also my values, my diet, and my goals.
They take the time to put together a holistic view of my health & what I need.
In general, they provide a subscription for daily vitamins and supplements.
The vitamins and supplements come in adorable packaging and daily packs which makes it perfect for traveling or taking on the go.
I am super excited to get started with Care/Of!
Cost: Varies depending on need
LOLA
This brand has all things menstrual and sexual wellness including period products, hygiene items, and sexual protection. Whatever you are looking for, LOLA probably has it.
Personally, I use LOLA for my tampons. I get a box of 18 tampons delivered every month for just $8. The box is customized to my needs, and I can adjust it at any time.
If you don’t have a car to run to the store every time you need tamps or pads, LOLA is perfect for you. Always delivered. Always on time.
Bootay Bag
This is one subscription that I have had for a while and absolutely love. Personally, I believe that you can never have too many pairs of underwear, and Bootay Bag has the cutest types.
Basically, you get surprise underwear in every delivery. You can specify your style preference and how many you want to receive, and they do the rest.
I have gotten such fun pairs over the years and it is super inexpensive.
Sometimes underwear can be one of those things that you forget to purchase, so why not have it delivered right to your door?
Cost: $10/Month
