&gt; <i>We find the best gifts each month to show how much you care.</i><p>Apparently, the subscribers of this service are only expected to care about their partner approximately $50&#x2F;month&#x27;s worth. Plus whatever small amount initially signing up for this service is worth.

I think you&#x27;ve got the right idea, but the way you&#x27;ve set it up will be the fast road to ending many relationships:<p>It&#x27;s monthly. How predictable. Small gifts to a special someone only work when it&#x27;s unpredictable... when you least expect something but when you get something you&#x27;re surprised. This type of giving isn&#x27;t best expressed through a Birchbox. The whole part of &quot;You&#x27;ll get credit for being thoughtful every month&quot; will translate to &quot;You&#x27;ll remind me how lazy you are each month with this love-as-a-service (LAAS)

Is the page background indicative of where one&#x27;s relationship will soon end up after the other partner finds out? :) [Sorry couldn&#x27;t help myself!]<p>On a more constructive note, a generic postcard arriving in mail is pretty lame, if I can have live flowers delivered once a month for around 100 bucks per quarter from numerous established players.<p>Are you planning to offer any sort of customization&#x2F;tailoring ala birchbox?

You got my interest because the Nth week of every month seems to be reliably bad&#x2F;depressing for my partner. But I&#x27;m not sure what to expect if I subscribe. Have you thought to add a list of things that a subscriber might expect? (I particularly don&#x27;t want flowers or confections - durable things would be more in line with my value system.)
