SinglesSwag, FabFitFun, and CauseBox Comparison


SinglesSwag vs FabFitFun vs CauseBox CauseBox, SinglesSwag, or FabFitFun?

Just the fact that I ordered three of those beauty subscription boxes speaks of my love for such service, and these are not the only boxes I have tried. I can definitely see why people use them – convenience, expert selection, and new trends, which are all the things I enjoy without spending time on doing my own research and shopping. And then there is a surprise element, which I like the most.

SinglesSwag, FabFitFun, CauseBox The spring goodies have arrived

I have to admit that my favorite of those three is FabFitFun, but CauseBox is very close behind. SinglesSwag has quite a bit of room for improvement if it wants to be compared with the first two. FanFitFun was the first one I ordered and immediately understood that it will be hard to beat.

SinglesSwag, FabFitFun, and CauseBox Spring 2020 collections from FabFitFun, CauseBox, and SinglesSwag

FabFitFun comes once per season and includes 8-10 full size beauty, health, lifestyle, fitness, home, and fashion items. Annual members can choose 5 items, while seasonal clients can pick 3. The box I got was Winter Editor’s Box and came full to the brim. I like how the box’s art looks, how it contains items from established companies and from newcomers, and I love the quality of almost everything.

I wish that FabFitFun would include more natural and organic items, but they don’t make any promises about that. The box is definitely fabulous, fit, and fun – compliments for delivering on the message.

CauseBox, as the name also suggests, is about delivering products with a cause or a message – it can be organic items, products made by hand or by socially responsible companies, or things produced with environment in mind. All that appeals to me very much, so I decided to give them a try despite being very happy with FabFitFun. And I was not disappointed.

CauseBox comes every quarter and costs very similar to FabFitFun. My winter box included 7 full size items and every single one of them came with a good cause or for a cause, some of them natural and organic, just as I expected. Everything in that box was high quality and picked with customers in mind.

SinglesSwag is the last box of the three. It is monthly and 100% curated by the staff. It caught my attention with its idea, which is very nice – empowerment and support of women. Yes, it targets single women, but I don’t see why married or dating women shouldn’t get inspirational books, tasty treats, and organic beauty products, right? They can and they should, but the there is a problem – SinglesSwag is not always delivering on that promise, so what you get is not necessarily organic and not always very inspirational.

After I opened my SinglesSwag box, I realized that ladies in all walks of life deserve better than this random selection of items. I love the messages and quotes I read on the website while ordering my first box, the idea is definitely there, but the company still lacks execution with more care and love. I am hopeful for the future because I like seeing companies that cater to women and seek to empower them succeed.
