For all of 2015, the Mr. and I subscribed to Birchbox. We had some good months with samples and the Mr. loved the products that came with each one. Overall, we had a great experience with them and decided not to continue into 2016 because we are all set with samples for awhile. I think we hae so many we are actually set with samples until 2017. There were so man great items that came in each box, some samples we used up right away, but others are tucked into glass jars in our bathroom. We will be using them slowly throughout 2016. This is a review of the Man's Box through Birchbox and what samples and products came with each month for 2015. The Man Box is $20 each month and you can sign up here.
