New Subscription Boxes & Codes:
- Bonjour Jolie: A brand new Time-of-Month box, started by a mom-daughter team that has been receiving some rave reviews since their 'official' opening May 1st. With the motto "Pamper Your Period", this box offers something more than you typical time-of-month box - it is designed exclusively for women to be pampered during their period. Each box contains feminine products, specialty bath and body items, gift and fine chocolates. Bonjour Jolie is definitely different than other time-of-month boxes - it positions itself with a more unique time-of-month / pampering proposition and based on some of the reviews, the concept seems to be very well executed. Tempted? I know I am... You can get your box for $16 / month + S&H.
- Ambition Box: A new beauty subscription box, Ambition Box was started by two sisters and it is "for anyone who loves beauty and health products and has Ambition for life". Cost is $15 / month.
- A Poir Toi: A new gourmet subscription service, A Poir Toi (means: a present for you) offer personalized, high-end, healthier, gourmet gift boxes with a French touch. The cost if $58 / month - definitely a bit on the pricey side, but the items look delicious.
Overall impressions & trends: The trend of expansion in the subscription eCommerce space didn't disappoint this month either. Since there is a box for almost anything imaginable out there already, it seems that new entrants bet on differentiation as a way to become successful. In addition to some of the niche boxes that opened in April, differentiating your subscription service in a market that seems to become already saturated might be exactly what these new entrants need to gain popularity and ultimate success. Of course, the concept needs to be flawlessly executed and consistent, as well. Of the new bunch this month, I'm definitely intrigued by Bonjour Jolie as they seem to be off to a great start.
Do you know of any new subs this month? What is the company that caught your attention and why?
Plum District is a website where local moms find businesses they love and share savings of 50 – 80% daily. Today, Plum District is offering 3 great subscription box deals. Take a look:
$13 for Your First Month Subscription to The Little Book Club (Free Shipping) - $25 Value (expires 09/01/13)

All
of the above deals offer savings of close to or more than 50%. I've
tried Bluum before and really liked their boxes, but haven't tried them
since they changed their box to full-size only items. Also, I've wanted
to try a kids book club for a while, so I'm definitely grabbing the The
Little Book Club offer for both my kids. If you'd like to sign up for for a free Plum District account through my referral link, you can do so here. Thank you!
Are you getting any of these offers?

I have already posted about some subscription box coupons & new subs at the beginning of this month, however I "need" to post again because some great new offers & subs are available. As usual, I've listed the expiration dates where known. Here is the list:

It's hard to keep up with all the new entrants in the subscription eCommerce space. There seems to be new entrants at the two sides of the spectrum. On one hand, there are new very targeted box offerings - such as specific sports boxes, and on the other - there are companies offering many various boxes depending on occasion / price / etc. The most intriguing new box for me from this list is definitely Treatsie - I might just have to try it once it becomes available.
