Would you try: Subscription Boxes?

I read lots of blogs.  Sometimes I just browse around on Bloglovin' or Pinterest, waiting until something catches my eye.  One thing that I have noticed is the increasing popularity of subscription boxes.  The first one I ever heard of was called "Umba box," and I thought the concept very interesting... As Umba says on their website, "Our team of stylists curates products that will introduce you to the handmade movement, Then we deliver them to your door each month."

Here are some more subscription box ideas that I'd like to give a try someday.  

1.  Birchbox: "We are redefining the retail process by offering consumers a unique and personalized way to discover, learn about, and shop the best beauty, grooming, and lifestyle products on the market."

2.  Tasting Room: "Tasting Room eliminates the guesswork, uncertainty and confusion of shopping for wine.

Just follow the simple instructions included in the kit, and a few minutes later you’ll learn all about the types of wine that suit your tastes. Soon after, we’ll send you the wines that match your preferences."

I think my favorite ones to try right now would be Birchbox (because I've read a lot of great reviews about them), Umba (because I love the idea of supporting artists), and Try the World (because, well, it sounds awesome!).

So tell me, would you try a subscription box or two?  Which would be your first pick?  I also think these are great gift ideas!
