I have been a fan of Vivabox for quite awhile now. I was first introduced to them when I read reviews on other blogs and I thought what a clever idea it was! Lucky me – I got to do a couple of reviews, and recently I received one of their latest boxes. I reviewed the Vivabox TryFirst For Her perfume sampler box for Target.
But first, let me explain what a Vivabox is!
A vivabox is an exciting new product that combines the freedom of choice with the personal touch of a real gift. This two layered gift can be the answer to all of your gift giving dilemmas. The first layer is a gift inside the box that is intended to familiarize the recipient with the product. The second layer is the gift card that can be redeemed for their gift selection from a menu of choices.
1. You Pick The Theme
Do you have an idea as to what type of gift someone would like? Select one of our themes that you think they would enjoy the most. This is the part that gives it a personal touch.2. They Try The Samples
They open the box and enjoy the gift inside. Depending on the box this could be a gift to try, taste or use and they all relate to the theme of the box.3. They Choose The Gift
After enjoying the first gift, the recipient visits this website and enters their card number. They will be taken through the redemption process where they choose their final present. This is where the freedom of choice happens.Result: You have given them a present they actually WANTED! The basic theme was chosen by you for a personal touch but the actual gift was customized by the recipient. This ensures that you have given what he or she will most enjoy. Plus, they got to experience the joy of receiving the perfect present for longer than ripping off the wrapping paper.
I love experimenting with different fragrances and like to switch things up a bit from time to time. The scents I received in my Vivabox Try First box are Britney Spears Circus Fantasy, Curve Crush, Fantasy Britney Spears, Forever Mariah Carey, Lucky You Lucky Brand, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor. I was thrilled with this selection, as many of them I have wanted to try for quite awhile, but just never did get around to buying. The other nice part is sometimes when you think you like a perfume, and buy a whole bottle, you find you aren’t quite as fond of it as you though you would be. I love wearing a different scent each day to decide which ones are my favorites. I am torn between two right now, and as soon as I make up my wishy-washy mind, I am going to run to Target with the handy little coupon that is included in the Vivabox, and get a full size perfume!
The Vivabox Try First {Target} sampler is also available for men in these fragrances: Curve, Curve Crush, 9IX Rocawear, Usher, Usher VIP, Tommy.
TryFirst CVS sampler can include:
· FOR WOMEN: White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor, Curious Britney Spears, Mariah Carey’s Luscious Pink, Britney Spears Circus Fantasy, Fantasy by Britney Spears, Britney Spears Believe, Forever Mariah Carey, M by Mariah Carey, Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Red by Giorgio Beverly Hills, Halston, White Shoulders, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Curve Crush, Elizabeth Taylor’s Passion, Liz Claiborne
· FOR MEN: Usher, Usher VIP, Curve, Curve Crush, Drakkar Noir, 9IX Rocawear, Paul Sebastian PS, Elizabeth Taylor’s Passion
What really struck me about the TryFirst Vivaboxes at Target and CVS, is what great presents they will make for teens as well {event teenage boys}. Teens are so incredibly hard to buy for – I have two, and trust me, I know!
The options at Vivabox are endless – they have gifts for men, gifts for women, and for every interest, including BBQ, spa, movies, gourmet food, win and much, much more! Just like the Vivabox that I reviewed above, all of the Vivaboxes contain samples of products, and/or a gift card for your recipient to redeem. It is nice to know that when you give a gift, that they will be able to choose exactly what they want, rather me trying to figure it for them.
I previously reviewed the Vivabox Fun with Photos box and I was so excited to find online photo gifts for my friends who love photography!

Now that is a gift I would love to receive!
See, that’s a fantastic idea for sure! What a great gift idea too, for when you’re unsure what fragrance someone might like. Perfumes are tricky to give — this takes the guess work out of it 🙂
It really does! Thanks for your comment!
I have saw several reviews for these of different types. I love the idea of getting so many different scents. This would be a great gift for a hard to buy for person.
I would ♥ to receive a box full of goodies like that! I am jealous… 🙂
That is a great idea…it takes the bordom out of just the gift card.
Wish they had a man’s Vivabox try first sampler for men with the various Polo scents. I tend to get my husband the regular Polo, because I know he likes it. I know they have other Polo scents, but since I don’t know if he or even I will like them once he wears them I’d stayed away from dropping the bucks to only end up disappointed.
That is a great idea !
How fun! I like knowing that the recipient will get to choose what they actually want – not what I THINK they want! I’ll have to look into this before holiday season. Thanks!
What a perfect idea and would love these. What better way to sample a new product before you waste alot of money!
