The Unibox is a subscription service offering students boxes that include ‘a dose of home love and exciting pick-me-ups’ right to your door.
Every month, the products included in the box change and are often sourced from UK start-ups and independent companies, including delicious sweet treats, practical essentials to help with the stress of coursework, exams and time-management and other nourishing and sustainably sourced products.
Their ‘Back to Uni’ box included:
• An A6 illustrated goal planner
• A lined notebook for revision or seminar notes
• Vitamin coffee sachet for 4 drinks
• A cucumber face mask
• ‘Hangover’ face cream with electrolytes and probiotics
• Rescue plus vitamins
• Healthy barbecue rice cake crisps
• A peanut butter vegan brownie
The box also contains a copy of TUB Zine, a mini magazine with tips, interviews with graduates, recipes from students and monthly perks, bonuses and competitions for subscribers.
Unibox is the legitimate version of what we wish our parents and friends would send us when we are feeling sad or exhausted. The perks of receiving a box of helpful and considerate surprises should not be underestimated. It combines the excitement of having something delivered in the post with the comfort of being sent pampering gifts from home or a friend.
If the idea of receiving a Unibox appeals to you, start dropping hints to a less-student-loan-dependent relative as they do cost £22.95 individually or £170.55 for a full year’s subscription. The products are high quality and many students are happy to make this investment for themselves, but for most people it is definitely on the expensive side. There is however, an option to pay monthly and you can cancel or skip a month at any time making the order more manageable.
