I’m always trying to think of a unique and thoughtful Christmas gift idea to give around the holidays.  When one of my favorite local shops, lou lou boutiques,  sent me one of their new subscription boxes, the lou lou box, I knew it would make the perfect Christmas gift!

So how exactly does the subscription service work?  Well if you sign up for the service, for $39 per month (see below for a discount code!!) you receive a box of curated accessories each month.  For example, in my first box, I received this classic shawl vest (seen wearing here!) and this choker.  Alone, the vest is priced at $39 and the necklace at $18, so with the box you get so much more bang for your buck.

How does it work as a gift?!  Once you select the “Get your box now!” option, you’ll be asked to select whether it’s for you or for someone else.  Once you select “for someone else,” you’ll be prompted with a series of fun style questions (they’re easy and take less than one minute to answer) so that the box can be curated to fit your lucky recipient!  What I especially love about this subscription service as a gift (you can give one box or a series of boxes) is that the gift is a little delayed.  Having a card to give that explains the details when you’re actually gifting the item is a great idea.  Then the box ends up being like a fun surprise that arrives in the mail a little later!

This is the perfect Christmas gift idea for your sister, sister-in-law, or your girlfriends!  Lou lou is offering 50% off of your first box (whether it’s for you OR for a friend!) when you use code COBALT50 at checkout!  With the code, the box ends up being under $20!
