It’s not quite the same thing, but I subscribe to the Asset Drop monthly ‘discovery’ box.

https://www.assetdrop.co/

You don’t know what you’re getting each month, but each box comes with a pretty good booklet with guidance on using the contents to try usually two or three new ‘tricks’.   That might be painting crystals, doing snow bases, etc.   The booklets are aimed at people who want to improve their painting (9 times out of 10 they’re telling you to thin your paints with thinner and/or water and to use up to 5 coats) rather than those trying to finish an army in 3 weeks, but I’d say they’re pretty good.

They’re also very easy in the sense that – if you accept that you don’t know what you’re getting – each set gives you the opportunity to learn a new skill as well as try a new paint / ink / powder, etc.

If you’re interseted in exploring new products and trying new skills, I’d say it’s worth it.
