    I think you're reading too much into what "surprise" might mean.

    I think it depends on what the website actually says. If it was this one for example: https://sewingsociety.com/sewing-subscription-box/


    "It’s Fun to Have a Sewing Surprise Delivered Every Month When your monthly sewing subscription box shows up at your door, it’s like Christmas morning. You won’t be able to wait and see what’s inside. Some monthly sewing boxes give you a couple of fabric choices beforehand and others leave it as a complete surprise. I think both ways are fun. You usually don’t know what sewing goodies will be included, though. That’s where the fun comes in!"

    So they are very much selling the surprise element and comparing it to opening presents on christmas morning so if they for example spoiled the surprise on social media it would totally go against one of the selling points they are making a big deal about.
    Thats just a blog linking to companies that provide subscriptions.
