Curated by people, not algorithms.

Two of us try roughly sixty products to fill six slots. The printed guide exists because the story of the maker is half the reason anything makes the box.

What's always inside.

01

4–6 curated items

Full-size, never samples. Combined retail value always exceeds the box price — we publish the math in the guide.

02

The printed guide

Hand-numbered, 16–24 pages: the makers, the theme, and what to do with everything.

03

Member pricing on refills

Loved something? Members re-order any past item at 15% under shop price.

04

First access

Limited editions and collaborations open to members 48 hours before anyone else.

03How it worksPause or cancel anytime

Three steps, no lock-in.

  1. Choose your plan

    Monthly, quarterly, or six-month. Cancel any time — even after the first box.

  2. We curate + ship

    Boxes ship the 12th of every month, free within the US. Tracking lands the same day.

  3. Unbox, keep, swap

    Read the guide, keep what you love, and swap any item for shop credit within 14 days.

Pricing

Pause + resume any time. No long-term lock-in.

Prices are per box and include shipping within the country. International adds $9 a month and takes about a week longer, which we would rather tell you here than at checkout.

04The fine print, in plain words

Subscription questions

Can I skip a month?
Yes — pause and resume from your account any time before the 5th. Skipped months simply extend prepaid plans.
Do you ship internationally?
US free; Canada $8; UK + EU $14 flat. Duties are prepaid — no surprise fees at the door.
What if I don't like an item?
Swap any item for shop credit within 14 days, no questions. Around 8% of items come back; we read that number monthly.
How does gifting work?
Gift plans are fixed-length — 1, 3, or 6 boxes — and never auto-renew. The recipient gets a printed welcome card in box one.
