Treat Yourself: The 7 Best Subscription Boxes in the UAE
Whatever you do, don’t sign up for just any monthly subscription service without reading this first…
Whether it’s from a late-night shopping spree or simply stocking up on essentials, we all enjoy receiving parcels and deliveries in the mail. There’s just something so joyous about unboxing new purchases even if we know exactly what’s inside the wrapping – and with everything going on in the world right now, we shouldn’t feel guilty about indulging in any activities that make us feel a little bit giddy throughout the day.
From regular flower deliveries to a fresh set of pajamas every single month, Bazaar has rounded up a list of our seven favourite subscription services within the UAE.
PJs Every 30 Days
If you love to live in your pyjamas, then this subscription box is the one for you. Choose from a one-off delivery option, a rolling subscription or pay upfront for three or six months of sleepwear. At the end of the month, you’ll receive a package with your perfect pyjamas designed for ultimate comfort, along with four surprise pampering goodies (think bath bombs and face masks) to help you maximise your ‘me-time’ at home.

Wear That
Definitely one for the fashionistas to try out. Wear That subscribers spend a one-time styling fee that goes towards all their future boxes, in order to have new clothing items sent directly to their doors.
Wondering exactly how it works? Once you’ve signed up, a personal stylist will get to know your taste in clothing before customizing the most perfect looks just for you. The looks will then be sent directly to your door. Keep and pay for the pieces you love and return the rest that aren’t right for your style. Easy-peasy and a great way to update your wardrobe without spending hours shopping online.

You Beaut.
You Beaut is a beauty stylist service for both men and women that delivers carefully curated beauty products right to your home, based on your skin goals and budget.
Once you’ve shared all your details with the You Beaut team – like skin type, current routine and budget – a stylist will customise a personalised beauty box that will be delivered right to your doorstep. Each box contains samples for you to test out before committing to the full-size product. The subscriber pays and keeps what they like and can send back whatever products didn’t make the cut at no extra cost.
