Subscription Boxes - Arts and Crafts

Today we are looking at Subscription Boxes dedicated to Arts and Crafts. Specifically today we are going to look at ones that are more dedicated to drawing, sketching things of that nature (at least from what I know of these brands). There are probably others out there but these are the ones I have heard of, and that I have seen on Youtube (so probably most popular ones).

So first we have ScrawlrBox. This one is a monthly subscription box and it says "Every month get a handpicked selection of creative tools in our subscription box. We scour the planet searching for the best, new and unknown art supplies, and deliver them straight to your door." They offer a price for a monthly subscription (16.95 pounds sterling which is about $29.00 CAD - plus shipping and handling). You can also get three months (50.00 pounds sterling which is about $86.00 CAD), six months (99.00 pounds sterling which is about $170.00 CAD), or one year (195.00 pounds sterling which is about $335.00 CAD). You can look at past boxes that they had to see if their stuff fits your style or your loved one's style. Each box comes with a catalogue talking about the items, a sticker, a candy, and an art piece, that never changes (by that I mean that each month they offer these things, obviously the content changes each month). They also give you whatever you need to design a photo just like the art piece they sent. Next, we have Sketchbox. This one has two options Basic or Premium. Now They say you can read about the difference between Basic and Premium, but I couldn't find anywhere mentioning what the difference is besides a small description that said the Premium one has "premium" items. Like the ScrawlrBox you can see what a previous box looked like however they only show one and only the Premium option. They have the same options as ScrawlrBox also you can get them monthly, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. So you can pick what works best for you. The prices change of course depending on which box you pick. The basic box is $25.00 USD (about $31.00 CAD) for one month, for three months it is $70.00 USD (about $87.00 CAD), for six months it is $140.00 USD (about $175.00 CAD), and for one year it is $240.00 USD (about $300.00 CAD). For the Premium box, it is $35.00 USD (about $45.00 CAD) a month, $100.00 USD (about $125.00 CAD) for 3 Months, $180.00 USD (about $225.00 CAD) for 6 Months, and $350.00 USD (about $435.00 CAD) for one year. Keep in mind that all these prices do not include shipping or handling. Next, we have ArtSnacks. They also have two different options when it comes to boxes. They have the regular ArtSnacks and the ArtSnacks Plus. So they do a good job of highlighting the differences between the boxes. The Plus seems to have a surface included that specifically works with all the supplies in the box. And it also seems to include a code for free shipping from their shop and access to pre-sales, events and "more"! (I am not sure if that shipping code works for anywhere outside of the United States.) Once you select which box you want it will ask you if you are shipping in the United States or not. If you click International the box will say so many months International box. With ArtSnacks you can only buy them monthly ($34.00 USD about $50.00 CAD), for six months ($192.00 USD about $240.00 CAD) or for one year ($360.00 USD about $450.00 CAD. Now when I checked the Plus box it did not ask where I wanted it shipped so it did not change the prices. So this may not be accurate for international customers but here are the prices for the Plus box - Monthly $39.00 USD (about $50.00 CAD), $222.00 USD (about $275 CAD) for 6 months, and $399.00 USD (about $500.00 CAD) for one year. Please keep in mind this does not include shipping and handling. And finally, Smart Art. Their subscription boxes are similar to the other boxes, however, sometimes they have speciality boxes. Currently, they are sold out of those but they do partner with artists (Jazz and NerdECrafter) to create special boxes. You can always check those out and possibly new ones. However, we are going to focus on the ones that are always available. Unlike the other boxes, you can only get up to 6 months worth. So that is something to consider. Also the more you buy obviously the cheaper the boxes are. For one month it is $49.99 USD (free shopping to the US), for three months worth the box price is $47.65 ($142.95 total) and again free shipping in the US, and for six months the box price is $44.99 ($269.95 total) and free shipping for the US again. (The CAD prices would be one month about $62.00, three months about $60.00 each for a total of about $180.00, and six months about $56.00 each for a total of about $335.00.) You can see previous boxes here before you buy.
