How Do Gift Subscriptions Work?

Updated:

Gift subscriptions are perfect for sending a subscription to a recipient other than yourself. Recipients will be able to personalize their subscription and manage their own account. 

When placing a gift order, you’ll be able to choose when the first box ships and when your recipient is notified of their gift by email. Gift subscriptions always begin with Welcome Box, filled with products that will work for anyone. From there, your recipient will personalize the rest of their boxes with their own Profile. 

You can send 3, 6 or 12 month Birchbox Gift Subscriptions or a 3 or 6 month BirchboxMan subscription. These are paid for in-full at the time of your order and will not automatically renew.

I Have Multiple Charges On My Statement, But I Only Placed One Order, Why?

Updated:

If you attempted to place your order more than once, all attempts will show on your statement as pending charges. All declined charges will fall off of your statement within 3-5 business days — the funds were not withdrawn as the charge(s) was not successful. Ultimately, you’ll just see the one successful charge on your statement.

My Order Won’t Go Through! Why?

Updated:

If you’re having trouble submitting your order, try these tips: 

  • Double-check your card details. If the error message has no specific information, it’s possible the incorrect expiration date or CVV code was entered. If you’re using a saved payment method, we recommend re-entering the card details as if it were a new form of payment and submitting.  
  • If you’re receiving an error message related to the billing address, try processing the order with a previous billing address. Rest assured, you can choose a different shipping address!

About Birchbox

When Birchbox founders Katia and Hayley first met, they had wildly different approaches to beauty. Hayley was a self-proclaimed novice, while Katia was a connoisseur. But they agreed on one thing: Shopping for products was frustrating, inefficient, and confusing. How were customers supposed to navigate the vast range of options? And in the growing online market, how could they try products without buying them all (and going bankrupt in the process)?

That’s when Birchbox was born: the brainchild of two friends with a love of the internet and an itch to create a better way to shop for beauty products.

Katia and Hayley envisioned a way for customers—just like themselves—to easily and efficiently try, learn about, and purchase beauty products online. They combined monthly deliveries of personalized samples with original editorial and an exciting ecommerce shop. It was easy, efficient, and fun—a monthly delivery of surprise and delight.

We shipped our first Birchboxes in September 2010, and soon realized that men needed a better way to shop too. BirchboxMan launched in April 2012 to bring guys tailored shipments of grooming and lifestyle products. Millions of boxes and product matches later, our mission remains the same: to help customers find products they love. We keep that top of mind every single day.
