Picking out the perfect mail-order gift for everyone

Christian Dahl

The new craze in this tech-savvy day and age is mail-order services. The idea behind mail-order services is defined as the selling of goods or services by mail. With this being a business model that hundreds and hundreds of start-ups have adopted, you will have no problem finding the perfect gift for everyone in your life.

Gifts for your significant other:

Girls, listen up, if you are tired of your boyfriend’s style and want to improve it with little to no effort, check out Trunk Club. Recently purchased by Nordstrom for a whopping $350 million, Trunk Club gives you your own stylist that will pick out personalized trunk of clothing for you, no matter what your preferences. This way of purchasing also allows one to try on the clothes in the comfort of their own home, and hassle free returns if the clothing choice is not up to your expectations. Guys, a similar company exists for the lovely lady in your life. We know you have no idea what to pick out for her as far as clothing goes, so head over to Stitch Fix for some help.

The foodie in your life:

The new food mail order craze is Graze. Here is how it works: every two weeks you receive a box of four different snacks. With over 90 options, you can customize your preferences to obtain the ultimate snacking experience. A few examples of foods that will be shipped to your front door include chili and honey almonds, brownie bars, jams and spreads and various kinds of trail mixes. When you receive a snack, you can head to your profile to let Graze know if you would like to receive it again, or if you’d like an alternative in the future.

With the basics out of the way, make sure to tune in next week for an additional set of ideas. Next week we will be covering tech and cosmetics!
