"No, it&amp;#x27;s not a subscription to Glamour! Y&amp;#x27;all should have those already! Actually, Birchbox is the gift idea I wanted share with you ladies. Have you heard of it or tried it? Basically, for $10 a month, Birchbox send a pretty box filled with sample-size beauty products to your doorstep - and they&amp;#x27;re all hand-selected to match your skin type and personal style. It&amp;#x27;s fun because you get to try different brands and types of products and it&amp;#x27;s totally affordable! I&amp;#x27;ve been thinking about what to include in my Mother&amp;#x27;s Day gift guide and I realized that this service is such a fun and unexpected option. It would also be great for college grads who may not have their beauty routine down to a science the way mom does. Plus! Birchbox just announced a really cool theme for its May box: Gossip Girl! The company collaborated with GG&amp;#x27;s lead makeup artist, Amy Tagliamonti, and lead hair stylist, Jennifer Johnson, to curate special edition boxes filled with Blair and Serena-approved treats. Here&amp;#x27;s a sneak peek at what&amp;#x27;s inside. The box will also include clues about the Gossip Girl finale on May 14th. How fun is that? The cute box design. Gossip Girl-beloved products, from left: Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm, Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner, Color Club nail polish in &amp;quot;Disco Nap&amp;quot; So ladies, tell me, is this a cute gift idea or what? Have you heard of Birchbox or tried it before? And what do you think of the special Gossip Girl-inspired box? Tell me in the comments!
