You almost can’t go anywhere online today without seeing some kind of subscription box offer. According to a 2016 report, there are over 2,000 businesses currently offering consumers some form of a subscription box, with new ones being added daily. These customized boxes can show up at your door every month, every quarter, once a year, or whenever you choose.
There is no end of products you can get in a subscription box. There are subscription boxes for women, girls, men, boys, little kids, babies, professionals, hobbyists, married couples, single people, travelers, athletes, students, coffee enthusiasts, health-conscious folks, fashionistas, barbeque aficionados, wine connoisseurs and more! You can have everything from socks to shaving tools, candy to cosmetics, and desserts to dog biscuits delivered to your front porch on a regular basis. So, with all the choices available, which one(s) should you choose?
Here’s a sample of just a few of the boxes out there to choose from:
- Atlas Coffee Club. What could be better than a fresh cup of coffee in the morning? How about a fresh box of delicious coffees on your doorstep? This is one club everyone wants to join! You don’t even have to get out of your jammies and slippers to enjoy coffee from around the globe including places like Tanzania, Guatemala, Kenya and beyond. You can even choose how many bags of coffee you want to receive, every two or four weeks.
- BarkBox and KitNip. If you’re a dog owner, you can give the best doggone treats to your canine companion every month, thanks to Barkbox’s goodies, which are determined by dogs’ sizes. BarkBox is a monthly delivery of toys, treats, and crazy dog joy. Plus, you can help out their furry friends, too; 10 percent of proceeds go to local shelters, rescues, and animal welfare organizations. Or, if you are a cat owner, check out KitNip, where each month you’ll receive a box of high-quality cat toys, all-natural treats, and other fun, healthy products chosen exclusively for your favorite feline.
- Beauty Army. A beauty sample kit tailored to you and your specific beauty needs. For those who don’t particularly like the element of surprise, Beauty Army sends you just what you ask for. After filling out a personal profile, choose up to six beauty samples that you think best suit your style.
- Birch Box for Men. These are the people who started the whole subscription box craze with boxes designed for women. Now, BirchBox has designed a line of boxes exclusively for men. For everyone from the college student to the young professional; even the man who has everything will enjoy receiving new surprises every month from the people who truly understand the value of a subscription box.

With a subscription to the Current Jubilee Box, you can look forward to fabulous seasonal gifts all year long.- Love Goodly. The thing that’s different about this beauty, lifestyle, and wellness box is that the samples are full sized, not travel sized like a lot of other boxes in this genre. Every other month, you’ll receive a box jam-packed with full size eco-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free products, and five percent of each purchase goes toward an important cause.
- Stitch Fix. Stitch Fix is a personal styling service. You tell them your style and size preferences, and they send you a package of stylish goodies, handpicked just for you to try on in the privacy of your own home. No more dealing with tiny, cramped, in store dressing rooms! No two shipments are alike, and you get to keep the items you like and return the rest in a pre-paid return mailer. Stitch Fix offers an expanded size range including plus sizes, petites, and maternity. You can also choose the frequency of your deliveries.
- Try the World. A curated selection of gourmet foods, including ingredients to cook with, drinks, and snacks, from a new country every month. No time to go globetrotting? No problem. Let the world’s flavors come to you each month for a lot less than the cost of booking international travel.
- Vellabox. Who doesn’t love candles, really? With Vellabox, you don’t just get new artisan candles from America’s finest candle makers to try, you get non-toxic, lead free, hand poured indulgence for your senses delivered to your door every month. Relax, sit back, and breathe in the bliss. For an added bonus, Vellabox also throws in one surprise gift with every box.
- Winc. These subscription boxes just might become your favorite way to try new wines. With boxes starting as low as $13 and no need to travel to the liquor store, this is a great way to indulge your wine tasting needs by having a variety of fine wines for every lifestyle delivered to your doorstep each month. And if you end up with extra unopened bottles from time to time, this is one gift that no one will mind if you “regift”.
These are just ten of the many subscription box choices out there, and it looks like this is a trend likely to be around for quite a while. For many of us, a trip to the mall is not always possible, and we may not have the energy to fight the crowds there anyway, especially during the holiday season.
