Christmas Wishlist: Gift Idea Six

Subscription to Rubybox, R100 per month

If you're battling to come up with a great gift for your sister or bestie, why not treat her to a subscription to Rubybox? If you haven't heard of Rubybox yet, here's how it works: for just R100 per month (with the option to opt out at any time), you'll receive a gorgeous box full to the brim with four or five luxurious, trial-sized samples from the most exclusive beauty brands (think Guerlain, Bvlgari, La Prairie and Philip Kingsley and you're half way there), delivered to your door. That way, you get to sample high-end beauty products (that often come with hefty price tags) and decide which products really work and which you're prepared to splurge on. Beauty win! This unique service was launched in September (the September box is pictured), and the boxes just keep getting better and better. As an added bonus this festive season, the fabulous Rubybox team has partnered with three charities ( Tears – the Emma Animal Rescue Society, The Sunflower Fund and the Adonis Musati Project) and will be donating 10% of the subscription fee for gift boxes ordered during December to one charity. Simply specify which charity you'd like to support when ordering and the winning charity will receive the proceeds once all the subscriptions are in and votes have been tallied. I don't think there's a woman out there who wouldn't love this gift - particularly all us do-gooder beauty addicts out there!
