Canadian Gift Guide

I’ve already told my sister ‘BIRTHDAY GIFT IDEA’ since my own fete is just over a month away (Team Scorpio!). Not that I’m expecting any of all y’all to get me anything, since I’m the one that does the giving (of ideas) round these parts. Anyway. Let’s get down to it.

The Luxe Box has arrived. In Canada. Finally. Not that they’re in the US per se, but similar services have been making waves South of the border for the last year, and we’ve finally got one of our own! What is it you ask? Well, it’s essentially a service that delivers 3-5 ‘full-size samples’ to your door, once a month.

You might be wondering why you’d pay for samples, but luxury samples are actually GENIUS. In fact, one of the first posts I ever wrote about was on the sample kits Sephora has been shilling for the last couple of years with great results. The idea behind a deluxe sample is it’s something that’ll last you for more than one or two uses (like say, those little paper packages you get in a magazine or at the department store). In fact they’re usually more akin to their ‘travel-size’ siblings than anything you’d associate with sample.

This means you get to try new brands, sometimes very pricy brands, without any major commitment. Plus the Luxe Box team is pretty committed to ensuring their products are ones they can stand behind – and ones that suit your skin tone, beauty needs, and any skin concerns. Need help applying something? Want to buy the full-size products? They’ll also speak to you one-on-one on addressing any of your concerns.

Prices are reasonable enough. $12 gets you one month – perfect as a small birthday gift, shower gift, or as an accompaniment to a bigger gift. $36 gives you three months – also a great price point for a gift for your closest friends, sister, mom, or girlfriend. And $120 means you get two free months across an entire year’s worth of pretty. Plus free shipping. Pretty groovy right?
