IF YOU love trying new things but don't have the time to search for them, then a subscription box could be a great investment.

Subscription boxes come in all shapes and sizes so you can choose what's right for you — you can have everything from clothes to plants arriving at your doorstep.

You might think that subscription boxes for women are limited to monthly makeup hauls, but you can get all sorts of boxes to suit your lifestyle.

Whether you're a beginner plant mum or want to shake up your personal style, you can use subscription boxes to expand your hoard of plants and push the boundaries of your wardrobe.

You can even get boxes to remind you to take a moment for yourself each month with pamper kits.

Stitch Fix wants to help you find your style and make it even better, with a personalized box that comes in sizes XS to 3X.

Alongside its main clothing range, Stitch Fix offers maternity, petite, and plus-sized fashion, too.

This isn't a subscription box in the traditional sense as there is no monthly option — you just pay for what you keep. The $20 styling fee is credited towards any pieces you keep, so you'll only pay it if you spend less than that.

If you live on the beach and are always in need of new beach towels and cute beach bags, then Beachly is the box for you.

Beachly is a quarterly box so will give you items seasonally, although they are all beach-themed so if that's your vibe then this will have lots of products for you to enjoy.

There are health and fitness items as well as jewelry, clothes, and skincare, such as all-important sunscreen for hot days in the sun.

Testing out new perfumes to find your signature scent can be costly, with some costing hundreds of dollars. LUXSB is a great way to test out different scents.

Each month, Luxury Scent Box lets you choose a perfume to put into your refillable case from lots of different brands such as Gucci and Jimmy Choo.

Unsure what scent to pick? Fragrance specialists will suggest a fragrance for you or you can choose one from suggestions given based on your previous perfumes.

Wantable is not your usual subscription box, as you do not automatically keep everything sent in your curated fashion edit.

Pick between style, sleep and body, and active boxes all personalized through a quiz for each edit. Wantable does one-off themed boxes, too.

Seven items will be sent to you for $20; you can keep anything you like and send back what you don’t. The money you have spent will be credited towards anything you keep.

Ipsy's glam bag gives you a range of products for a low price each month, and comprises high-end and drugstore brands.

It is mainly made up of deluxe sample sizes but there are occasional full-sized products too, as well as beauty tools.

This is a cancel anytime plan and gives you five products every month, making it perfect for anyone on a budget.

If you're looking for a monthly pick-me-up then Therabox might be the answer, as it is filled with products to aid your mental health.

Therabox supplies you with products that help with relaxation, happiness, and inspiration, with a focus on organic and natural products.

You can pay monthly or prepay up to a year in advance to save money on your six to eight full-sized products.

It might seem cliche but SinglesSwag is a great subscription box for women who need a bit of extra pampering.

You can choose between the standard box with seven or eight full-sized products each month or the 'petite' box with four to five products.

SinglesSwag is filled with products for all your bath, beauty, fashion, and even food needs; everything you need for a total indulgence session.

If you're searching for a subscription box that has fun designs in recyclable packaging as well as high-quality items, Birchbox is a great choice.

Each box contains five samples of haircare, skincare, or makeup, depending on what you choose to focus on. Some months will include full-sized products too.

Birchbox also offers a great deal for people willing to commit — if you sign up for six or 12 months you can save some money on the monthly cost.

This is perfect for people who find themselves wishing they had a nice new beach bag in summer but don't have the time to shop for one: FabFitFun sends seasonal items directly to you.

The service lets you choose between an annual subscription of four boxes or to pay per box and cancel anytime.

FabFitFun is truly a box filled with variety, from candles to bralettes, and the seasonal setup means you won't be overwhelmed with deliveries.

This New York-based plant subscription box is great for beginners who are hoping to learn more about houseplants.

Horti lets you choose your box depending on if you're new to houseplants, need pet-friendly plants, or just want Horti's pick of the month.

Your plant will come in a terracotta pot or you can choose to get two "nakey" plants for $30 per month.

Many of us want to read more but might struggle to find the perfect read each month — that's where Book of the Month comes in.

You can choose from five options, or if none take your fancy, you can look back at previous months' picks and choose one of those.

The subscription box focuses on debut authors, different perspectives, and new releases, some of which are even early releases through Book of the Month.

Bombay & Cedar is one of the few brands out there that offers seasonal boxes as well as monthly ones, so you don't have to commit to monthly shipments.

You can choose between a lifestyle box, full of aromatherapy, jewelry, and snacks, or the beauty box, which has five or six vegan and cruelty-free items.

The seasonal box has almost 10 items, including activities and DIY projects as lifestyle items and beauty products.

What sets BoxyCharm apart from the other makeup subscription boxes is the inclusion of big-name brands such as Marc Jacobs or Anastasia Beverly Hills.

All five products are also full-sized rather than sample sizes.

Personalize the box with a quiz of your preferences and customize this even further before it is shipped out to you.

Margot Elena's Spring's box was full of floral-scented perfume, body butter, candles, and hand creams to get you excited for the spring season.

The curated box has a scent theme and contains lots of luxurious items for your sweet-smelling dreams. However, it is not customizable to your own tastes.

Margot Elena's subscription box has lifestyle items as well as skincare so you get a nice balance of products each season.

The editors of New Beauty magazine have curated this subscription box for readers to try out the products mentioned in the magazine — and this box comes with a subscription to the magazine itself, too.

This box (or tube, more specifically) comes once every two months and contains travel-sized and full-sized products for your hair, skin, and face.

TestTube is great for anyone who likes trying out new products and ingredients as well as staying on the cutting edge of beauty trends.

A subscription box is a regular box that ships to your house, full of products for you to try out.

They can come in many forms such as lifestyle boxes, beauty boxes, or even plant boxes.

Some boxes arrive monthly while others take a seasonal approach, but they all adhere to the idea of a regular shipment that treats the receiver to new and exciting items.

With so many options out there it can be hard to know which box to go for.

Look at previous boxes if possible and read the customer reviews, if it sounds like people are receiving the sort of products you want then it might be the right fit.

Boxes that can be personalized are always a great choice because they will meet your needs better and better over time.

If you're finding the box you have subscribed to isn't meeting your needs, see if you can adjust the personalization before your next shipment, or cancel and find a different one.

Subscriptions can range widely depending on the worth of the product.

Some subscription boxes do charge for postage on top of their monthly cost so always check this when signing up.

Most sit between $20 and $50 but can range vastly in cost.

If you're on a budget there are lots for around $15 per month, but if you want to splash out you can spend up to $100.

Again, this depends on if the box is worth it to you and meets your needs.

Most boxes are good value as the retail price for all the products can be much higher than the box price.

It is also great to receive a surprise gift each month and can lift your spirits more than you realize - like a mini Christmas each month.

If you have the money to spend, subscription boxes are a fantastic way to try new things without the hassle of curating items yourself.
