Show Your Love Long Distance In A More Creative Way Than A Text

Once your giftee has connected their Lovebox to WiFi, it’s able to receive messages, which causes the pixelated heart on the front of the box to spin. They simply have to open the lid to discover your message and can spin the heart by hand to send a “rainfall” of hearts in return.

Plus, perfume and cologne choices are very personal, so gifting a three-, six- or 12-month subscription is a great way to help them discover their new signature fragrance(s).
