YOUR TOUR GUIDE

Hi, I'm Sam. My list is a mile long too.

For years I waited for my to-do list to be finished before I let myself have fun. Spoiler: That never happened. So I stopped waiting - and stopped feeling guilty thinking I "should" be doing something else. Most of these field trips come from places I've actually been and loved, and now I pack them up and mail them to women like me. Welcome.

Quick questions

Detour or box?

Same destination each month. The Detour is things to do: activities, a letter from Sam and a playlist. The box is things to keep: a big themed piece, scent and a treat. Want both? Subscribe to each.

When does it ship?

Both ship the first week of every month. To get next month's trip, join the Detour by the 28th or the box by the 7th.

How does billing work?

Your first one is charged right away. The Detour renews on your sign-up day each month. The box renews on the 25th.

Can I skip or cancel?

Yes, anytime from your account or by emailing support@getyourescape.com. If a payment already went through, that month still ships.

Do you ship outside the US?

The Detour ships to the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore. The box is US only.

What if I don't love something?

No returns or exchanges, but anything that's not your style makes a great little gift.

The list will still be there when you get back.

I'm not saying skip Thursday's practice and go play penny slots. But I'm not NOT saying that.
