I'd love to see BeanieBoxes be themed around a specific drama! How cool would it be to get a box that has all your favorite things about a certain drama and enjoy them while watching said drama?

Please notify me when the Gong Yoo box is launched.
In all seriousness, I would love to see a literary themed box. Books play such a huge role in so many dramas that being able to get my hands on the poetry or literature we see highlighted would be great. Snacks too of course. Because a late of reading often requires some fortification of snacks.

Chocolate is always a win. I recently got to try some Choco corn puffs from Korea and they were so good. Maxim coffee seems like a must. Keychains of the popular symbols of a drama like a monkey, chicken leg, or snail.

Like the Actor Spotlight series that Dramabeans is doing, there could be Actor Spotlight BeanieBoxes! Maybe the actor's favorite snacks (if we can figure it out from interviews etc. If not, then what the actor's characters are seen eating/drinking on screen) or items that reflect their journey to stardom (items that represent their breakout shows or memorable scenes) or even just general merch for the actor (like season's greetings goodies?). I'm super excited about this BeanieBox!! It's the first subscription box that I actually want to buy.

How amazing DB! I’m so excited for you guys in this new venture! 🎉
I’m also so happy that I might actually get the chance to get one because my fam is stable right now and I have the opportunity to splurge on myself. With that said, I hope we get some Db goodies since I didn’t get the chance to buy some last time when the store was open. I will also never say no to stationery, although I have put a ban on myself from buying any, hehe. And last, I hope we get a drama poster, or something of the like, of upcoming or popular dramas.

I live in Canada, so I'm not elgible but here are just some ideas:
- drama memorabilia (i.e. I remember in the early 2000s, phone accessories, and jewelry from Kdramas were really coveted and popular... I, myself, have a version of the star/moon necklace from 2009's "Boy's Over Flowers")
- Dramabeans merch
- as-seen-on-the-drama snacks and the simple PPL products, because no, I don't need another vacuum cleaner for my household in the form of a Dyson lol
- As many have suggested above, some themed boxes based on dramas or certain actors/actresses would be fun, too!!
Best of luck to the U.S. Beanies :)

Love the idea!! I suggest: DB MERCH! I Also would suggest Drama OSTs, stickers, autographs, picture books, small jewelry or trinkets related to the drama. The possibilities are limitless. It would be nice to have boxes of different levels. A basic box with cute but small items and then premium box with more bigger ticketed items. That way everyone could have access to it regardless of their budget.

This might be too expensive but it would great to have a kdrama dvd that comes with subtitles.
Or a fashion item inspired from a drama character or a book that is popular in korea at the moment.
Oh a mix tape could be good too, with songs from the most popular ost 's that month?
Have you thought about creating a spotify playlist and embedding it on the website?
I'm not based in the US so please count my entry out.

As for what to put in them... maybe I'm just super practical, but I'd love to see things like cute socks, those awesome zit patches from Daiso (you know they have the best ones), coupons for other beauty products or sample size beauty products, chopsticks, cute stuffies from Daiso, chopstick holders...
as for food:
anything 불닭볶음면, different kinds of teas (like this nut tea I absolutely LOVE), those honey butter potato chips? basically just Korean snacks in general haha^^
