Uplifting subscription boxes for chronic illness

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).

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.

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!

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

Our box contents are meant to be surprising and bring a smile to your face every month as you unwrap them, so we're afraid the answer is no. BUT, we do tease some of the contents on social media 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 here, on our Previous Boxes page.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
