BespokePost.com for a woman...

Looking for anniversary present, what are some sites like BespokePost.com that would be good for a woman?

I'm a member of BespokePost and love getting my little box of goodies every month... but my fiance is jealous!

So for our anniversary, I want to sign her up for a couple snazzy, but not expensive, things like BespokePost...

I guess I'm asking, what snazzy "of the month" type things are out there, preferably ones that give variety of things?

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable about them will chime in on the plethora of makeup sample boxes you can get, but I got my first Field Notes notebooks from my subscription and LOVED them. They're quarterly, not monthly, though.

There is Whimseybox, which sends you craft supplies - $15/month. I found that I didn't have time to play with them, so I just canceled my subscription.

There is also Birchbox, which I love. For $10/month, you get various make up/cleanser/fun samples, and if you review the samples you get on their website, you get points to take money off of purchasing full size products. I've found a couple of products I love this way, and find that it is a fun way to try various (likely expensive) products. They send a little card with how much the full price item is and information.

I did a roundup of these on my blog pretty recently.
I have Birchbox and really like it.
If someone was to offer me another, I'd choose
CandyJapan Every 2 weeks, you get a selection of cute Japanese candy. $24/month
or
ecoEmi Monthly eco-friendly products like lip balm, shakes, and scrubs to try out $15/month

As others have said, Birchbox is great.
Quarterly is currently closed for new subscriptions, but they promise to open again soon.
LostCrates is what I'd get myself if I had a little bit more cash to spend.
