Uplifting boxes for people with chronic illnesses

How It Works

Each monthly box contains a mixture of luxury self-care items, edible/drinkable ones, books or journals, and accessories. Examples include vegan truffles, detox bath salts, and inspiring books - all hand-picked to make you smile

The items are not medical in nature, but are often practical and address common chronic illness lifestyle needs (like a medical diary, or a super cute pillbox) that are designed solely with spoonies in mind. The exact monthly contents are a surprise, but some will be teased on our socials. You can also check out our previous boxes here

Every single box contains a personal note from us and a letter to you from a fellow spoonie, so that you feel that community love! You can also include a personalised message in your box if you're buying it as a gift

What Our Customers Say

Brilliant Product

I absolutely love my Spoonie Box subscription. The best thing is I do a 3 month subscription and then forget about it; so not only is the content a surprise each month but it's arrival almost always is too! (Doesn't matter that there's an email saying it's being dispatched I still forget!)

3 Month Subscription
Spoonie box

My box was too large for the goods and when it arrived it was crushed personally the box would’ve been better half of the size with less suffing.
Quality of items was good.
I felt it was pricey for 4 items
Would I buy it again?? Probably not. I guess it was a nice treat but over priced for what you get

Best box

What can I say? I’ve had several months of the spoonie box and I’m yet to receive anything I cannot use or don’t like, out of all the chronic pain/fatigue boxes this is by far the best, I would not hesitate in recommending this box and I fully intend to keep this subscription box every month for the foreseeable future, well done spoonie box makers! Keep up the fab work!

First box ever

This was my first spoonie box and I absolutely loved it. All the items were well thought out and charming. Especially loved the Ouch balm and the book. The poetry was unexpected but wonderful. Cant wait for future boxes.

Love love love it!

This was my first Spoonie Box and I absolutely loved each of the carefully selected gifts. They are just perfect! I’ve already bought a second copy of the book for a friend, scoffed the guilt free sweeties and looked at where I can get the aches and pains cream for when I run out as it smells and feels amazing. I can’t wait for the next box!

Only recieved my box this morning but so far it's amazing. I've had the wheat pillow round my neck all morning. Didn't want to give 5 stars because I've not read the book yet or melted the candle. So far it's amazing. It's a great idea for a little self care

Amazing box of goodies es

I purchased this box as I’ve been looking for something to help and treat myself, but I didn’t want the normal boring beauty boxes as they seem to repeat and contain stuff which isn’t for me. I wanted to have something g which would help with my ongoing health and this box is exactly that there are treats and useful stuff which I will use. Amazing box can’t wait for the next one x

A truly amazing gift for someone you care about

I was so excited to get my first spoonie box and must say it’s even better than what I expected! I loved everything about it, the contents, the quality of the products, the variety, the presentation... You can certainly tell a lot of thought and love was put in their making process, and that makes all the difference. Can’t wait to get the next one!

FAQs

What is a Spoonie Box?

A box full of uplifting goodies for those living with any kind of chronic illness! The term "spoonie" refers to anyone in the chronic illness community (see "what does spoonie mean?" below).

Who is the box for?

Anyone who wants one! However, they're mainly targeted to those living with a chronic illness, or anyone who wants to send them some love and support.

What’s in the box?

Each box will contain a mixture of luxury health/wellness items, edible/drinkable items, books/journals, and accessories. Sample items include vegan truffles, detox bath salts, and inspiring books - all hand-picked to make you smile. They won’t be medical in nature but will occasionally address common chronic illness needs (like a medical diary, or a super cute pillbox!) that are designed solely with spoonies in mind. Every single box will also contain a note from us and a letter from a fellow spoonie, so that you feel that community love!

What does “spoonie” mean? How does it relate to chronic illness?

Spoonie is a term designating anyone who lives with a chronic illness and its limitations, and it was coined by Christine Miserandino in her excellent short story, The Spoon Theory

Can I find out what the exact contents of the box are before I purchase it?

Our box contents are meant to be a surprise and bring a smile to your face every month as you unwrap them, so we're afraid the answer is no. BUT, we do reveal some of the contents on our socials every month, so head over to our Insta or Facebook for sneak peeks of our current box. You can also check out what our past boxes contained on our Previous Boxes page.

Can I buy a one-off box for myself or as a gift?

Of course you can! Just select “one-off box” after hitting “get started”, and be sure to specify whether the box is a gift if you want to add a personal note.

When and how often will I get my box?

The boxes are monthly, and will ship out on the first working day of every month.

When are the boxes on sale?

Each monthly box goes on sale on the first day of the previous month (for example the October box went on sale on September 1st) and will be on sale until the 25th of the month (or until supplies run out). As we are a spoonie-run business, this allows us to have enough time to pack and ship all your boxes.

Are you animal and eco-friendly?

We pride ourselves on being as sustainable and eco-friendly as we can as a small (tiny!) business. Our boxes, envelopes, and packing materials are all recycled, and we try to work with product suppliers that are local, eco-conscious and ethical as well. None of our products will ever have been tested on animals, as we are 100% against animal cruelty.

Can I cancel my subscription?

You can, at any point between the 1st and the 25th of the month. If you’ve missed the deadline of the 25th, you’ll get another box and we’ll process your cancellation starting on the 1st of the following month. This is due to the fact that after the 25th we will be packing and getting ready to ship your goodies. To cancel your box, just email us at contact@spoonie-box.com with your full details.
