” I can’t think of a single improvement. I originally signed up to get a surprise Christmas present for myself while stuck at home due to COVID and concern for my parents. Every single delivery has come packaged beautifully and every item has been a winner from my perspective. I recently renewed my subscription and am again pleased as ever. I love that there is a focus towards sustainability and care in the packaging. Highlight of my week to find the signature box on my porch!”
