11. Rocksbox Subscription $49-149

I’ve been using Rocksbox for close to a year now and cannot tell you how much I love it!

This is the perfect gift for the indecisive shopper (ehhem, must I name names?) and the neat freak – instead of keeping the jewelry, you send your set back for a “refresh,” meaning that it won’t take up space on your dresser because you’ll be switching up your collection instead of hoarding it!
