Two of my family members gifted me 6-month barkbox subscriptions. And while I LOVE the thought and love the idea of the concept (who doesn't love a monthly box of surprises?)... it's starting to become an annoyance.
Some months the toys are sturdy and good (westpaw etc..) but they tend to veer far too easily into the organic/kitchy/hipster fun toys that last about 2 seconds or aren't played with (like a squeaky mustache or organic wool mouse). And instead of investing in long term treats (which I do need a monthly supply of), you end up in the kind of "fun biscuit" category. I now have an entire cabinet full of pumpkin spice, energy gel, licky stick, cute biscuits that are just gathering... if you live far from a petstore where you can see these things and shop in person, I say go for it. Otherwise? my gripe is that I'm too picky and too well versed in dog products for this
