Boxing Clever
Little moments of joy are good for the soul. Who doesn’t like getting a gift – even if you do send it to yourself? But mass consumption is definitely not on the agenda –greed is not good for you or the planet. Buying isn’t always good for your home or your mind. Clutter is stressful. So how do you balance the join of small treats against the need to stay organised and environmentally friendly. The answer is subscription boxes. The boxed-economy as it is known is now massive with options to suit everyone.Weather you are buying for yourself or for that tricky relative.
The rise of the subscription box has been phenomenal and there are so many different options. They are also the gift that keeps on giving – like dogs, they are not just for Christmas, the recipient gets a gift every month for a year. Plus, you can help save the planet by encouraging friends to use environmentally friendlier products. Or just treat yourself so once a month you come home to a little treasure box of guilt-free treats.
Here are just a few of our favourites.
Between Green – The Surprising One
At only £20 per month this is a very affordable mini-treat. We love that its full of little swaps that make a difference; you don’t get everything forced upon you so you can go green gradually.
