Giving Myself This Tasty Gift Every Month Is The Best Self-Care Hack

Not to brag, but I got seriously lucky in the friendship department. When I was four years old, I met my official BFF4L while waiting in line for the free popsicles being given out at the neighborhood pool. And we’ve been friends every since. When I moved across the country, we promised to nurture that bond — and one of the ways was through sending each other treats in the mail.

On the morning of my birthday, I opened the mailbox to receive a mysteriously festive-looking box labeled “Candy Club.” I rushed inside to open it, and as soon as I did, I was blown away by a deliciously fruity smell. It was filled with three tubs of  gummies and chocolate. These candies were all new and fun twists on classic favorites. It didn’t take long for the sugar rush, and my obsession with the Candy Club subscription box, to kick in. After my three-month subscription ended, I decided to get my own subscription for myself.

You can check Candy Club out here.

Why? Let’s all be honest — life is hard. Between recovering from a medical emergency and navigating the art of peaceful cohabitation with my newly moved-in partner, I was a giant ball of stress for most of my 24th year. I was running myself into the ground, and found myself constantly cranky and irritated — a far departure from my usually bubbly and extroverted personality.

This subscription was the best self-care hack I could possibly give myself.

I’ve never been one for shopping or retail therapy, but I’ll be darned if a sweet treat doesn’t cheer me right up. “It’s time to be my own BFF,” I decided. Why couldn’t I send myself a present every month? As the wise words of the interwebs once said, “Treat yo’ self, girl, treat yo’ self.” So, I did.

Signing up was super quick and easy. You can see how to do so here.

Even more of a no-brainer was the $15 off I got on my first order. I opted for the 3-pack subscription for $29.99/month — which means I got my first box for only $9.99! You can also level-up and get the large subscription, which sends 6 generous cups of candy for $59.99/month. With the $20 discount, your first 6-pack box would be $29.99.

It’s been a few months since I started sending myself these monthly gifts, and I still feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I come home to see the package waiting on my doorstep. I’m the type of person who spends so much time and effort taking care of those around me that it feels good to remind myself to check on “me” every now and again. I notice that the box always seems to arrive right at the perfect time when I need a little reminder to slow down, check in, and savor the sweeter side of life.
