Feeling lucky?

Are you feeling lucky? I do.

Goodie Goodness

I have just subscribed to Goodie Goodness. From now on, at the start of each month, I will receive a surprise box filled with goodies. Each time it's content will be handmade by a different designer. It's a bit like a surprise egg for adults. Minus the chocolate.

Curated

Another company that is in the business of surprising is Curated. Their boxes come quarterly and contain one item, handpicked by the curator of your choice. Every curator has their own specialty. There's one that specializes in books, one that knows all the best new gadgets, and so on.The gifts seem to range quite a bit in worth, so it's possible that you get a nice pen in January and a photo camera in April. But that just adds to the surprise-effect, doesn't it?

For those of you that are less bold. Here are some more specific ways to surprise yourself:

Limitee

T-shirt lovers might like Limitee. A subscription will land you four t-shirts a year (one for each season), with a limited edition print.

De Krat

Foodies will like de Krat. A standard case will contain eight different vegetables/fruits, a portion of meat or fish, a bread and one delicacy. There are many different subscriptions, once a week, once every two weeks, veggie, mixed. It will force you to be creative and try new recipes.     

Glossybox

If you are a fan of make up and lotions the Glossybox will be right up your alley.  

Ms Spanner

If you enjoy a surprise in the mail every now and then, chances are that the same goes for your friends and family. So why not surprise yourself and your friends at once. How? By taking a Lucky Dip.

You'll receive a surprise pick of items made by artist Nicola Rowlands aka Ms Spanner (who also made the print on top of this post). And any postcards you get, you can send to your friends. For no reason. Surprise!
