The 44 Best Subscription Boxes That Make Great Gifts for Others (and Yourself)

Thanks to the internet, you no longer have to leave the comfort of your own home to stock up on wellness essentials, new clothing, and even unique pantry staples and healthy snacks. No, I’m not talking about online shopping—I’m talking about subscription boxes, the themed boxes shipped straight to your door. When subscription boxes first became trendy, there were only a handful of select themes to choose from. Now? There are thousands of subscription boxes for women to shop and subscribe to.

Some are general lifestyle boxes, like Beachly and FabFitFun, which ship all sorts of goodies to your door four times a year. Others are more specific. There are themed boxes for beauty buffs, expecting mothers, outdoor lovers, coffee drinkers—you name it. If you can think of it, there’s probably a box for it.

To help you navigate the deluge of options, I rounded up 44 of the best subscription boxes across different categories, including some options Well+Good staffers tried and loved.

The best subscription boxes, at a glance:

• Best beauty subscription box: BoxyCharm, $28
• Best perfume subscription box: Scentbird, $17
• Best shaving subscription box: Bille, $10

What to consider when selecting a subscription box

With so many subscription boxes to shop and so little time, treating yourself (or picking out a box to gift) can be daunting. Themes aside, here are some factors to consider:

• Price: Some boxes will cost you as little as $15 or less. Others, like those shipped every quarter, can run in the triple-digit range. Determine your budget, shop around, and find what’s best for you.
• Cadence: Want a box every two weeks? What about every three months? Not all subscription boxes come monthly (although many do!), and many will let you pause or skip deliveries for no additional fee if you don’t want a box.
• Personalization: Depending on the plan, you can customize your box with your chosen products. Some might let you select one to two products, with the rest being a surprise. And others are like a box of chocolate—you never know what you’ll get.

In addition, you will also want to keep customer service, product diversity, and sourcing in mind when choosing your box.

Beauty buffs will love Dermstore’s BeautyFIX Box, which includes skincare and hair products from premium brands like EltaMD, Skinceuticals, Oribe, and more. Each month, subscribers receive five or more full- and deluxe-size products, and though its contents are valued at least $100, subscribers pay just $25 per box. The box our reviewer received included mostly tester-sized products, but the items themselves induced excitement for our reviewer, who said it offers subscribers a prime opportunity to test-drive beauty products before splurging on a full-sized version.

Despite the products’ size, our reviewer proclaimed that it offered her otherwise utilitarian beauty regimen a touch of luxury. As a bonus, the BeautyFIX subscription also includes discounts on some full-sized products, making this box all the sweeter.

Walmart Beauty Box — $7.00

The Walmart Beauty Box includes popular beauty products on the megastore’s shelves. At just $7, it is the most budget-friendly beauty box we tested—and our reviewer found it to be the perfect box for folks who think variety is the spice of life. You’ll receive a mix of full- and deluxe-size makeup, skincare, and beauty items. Previous boxes featured selections from popular brands such as Maybelline, NYX, and Physician’s Formula—and our reviewer’s box included brands like CeraVe, Covergirl, and Raw Sugar.

The Walmart Beauty Box is a seasonal subscription box, so one comes four times per year, but if you’re like our reviewer, you might prefer the less frequent deliveries since there are often plenty of products left over at the end of the month. If you aren’t one for surprises, Walmart releases details on what is in each box, but our reviewer said that the selection of items can vary from box to box.

Price: $7 per quarter

Items per box: Five to seven

Option to select products? No

Pros:

• Most budget-friendly beauty subscription box on the list
• Walmart releases details on what’s included in the box

When you subscribe, you fill out a beauty profile with questions about your makeup, skincare, and haircare preferences, and Petit Vour selects the contents of your box based on those responses.

As a bonus, subscribers can receive PV points (worth $4) when they review their box each month, which they can redeem on the company’s website, where they feature brands like Ilia, Rahua, Ursa Major, and more.

Each box is curated according to the theme of the month (For example, April’s “Skin Therapy” or August’s “Summer Mood”) and includes five full- and deluxe-size items valued at up to $165. And unlike Petit Vour, Kinder Beauty allows subscribers a say in what they receive, though it’s a little more costly than its competitor.

Price: $25 to $27 for Kinder Beauty Box; $65 to $75 for KND by Kinder Box

Items per box: Five in Kinder Beauty Box; up to 10 in KND Box

Shipping frequency: Monthly for Kinder Beauty Box; quarterly for KND Box

Dermy Doc Box — $55.00

Founded by board-certified dermatologist Fatima Fahs, MD, the Dermy Doc Box includes exhaustively tested skincare products to make people’s skincare routines less overwhelming and more effective. It is a quarterly box, each containing a sampling of full- and deluxe-size skincare products that Dr. Fahs handpicked herself, along with information about the products and suggested usage, which our reviewer appreciated. The boxes are seasonal, and though expensive compared to its counterparts, our reviewer attested that it is well worth the cost.

Our reviewer received the Fall box which revolved around the theme of exfoliation, and it included three full-sized products and brands like BeautyStat, Dove, Joaquina Botanica, and Necessaire. Plus, everything came well-packaged, which made it all the more pleasing to receive. If anything, the Dermy Doc Box doesn’t allow customers to choose their items, which might be a drawback for those who want a little more control over their skincare routine.

Price: $65 to $55, depending on subscription plan

Items per box: Five

Shipping frequency: Quarterly

Option to select products? No

Pros:

• Products are selected by a board-certified dermatologist

Once you’ve chosen a fragrance, Scentbird will deliver an 8-millimeter sample straight to your door.

The broad range of fragrance choices offered on the Scentbird website and its easy navigation impressed our reviewer, who said it made shopping for a fragrance online less overwhelming. Her chosen—and not to mention, new favorite—perfume arrived within days of making her selection, and it came in a travel-sized case with a spray nozzle. She gave bonus points to the handy twisting lock on the cap to help prevent the scent from accidentally discharging in a bag.

Price: $17 or $37, depending on subscription plan

Mouth Snacks Subscription Box — $59.00

The Mouth Snacks Subscription Box is for anyone who wants a taste of small-batch artisan snacks from local food makers. Each monthly box includes a variety of sweet and savory fare from different regions of the US. Our reviewer’s box, for instance, contained five snacks from the Southwest—butter pecan shortbread coins, sweet pickles, and tangy barbecue sauce, as well as an Argentinian-inspired cookie with a dulce de leche center and a petite-sized pouch of granola.

While it was one of the more unique snack boxes, it was also the most expensive. (A subscription plan starts at $59 per month.) As for the quality of the goods, our reviewer said that she enjoyed most of her box’s offerings. However, the included barbecue sauce, though delicious, isn’t something she would readily call a “snack.” Still, she enjoyed the assortment of products—and all the more since they came from local food makers.

Price: $59 to $65, depending on subscription plan

Items per box: Five

Shipping frequency: Monthly for three months

Option to pick products? No

Pros:

• Small-batch artisan snacks from local food makers
• Sweet and savory selection

Con:

• Expensive

iGourmet International Cheese Subscription Box — $58.00

Cheeseheads who want to expand their palate will appreciate the monthly international cheese subscription box from iGourmet. Each box has three to four cheeses from across the globe and two pairing accompaniments, ranging from charcuterie meats to jam to crackers. Our reviewer’s first box included wedges of Moosbacher from Austria, Piave (Italy), Kanaal (the Netherlands), a semi-soft goat cheese (Spain), along with New York-sourced salami and Italian taralli. Suffice it to say, it took her taste buds on a journey.

The selection was enough for a small charcuterie board, and though each cheese was delicious, our reviewer fell in love with the Kanaal cheese, which she said was salty and sweet, with added texture, thanks to salt crystals embedded into it. (She said it was even more wonderful when paired with the salami.) If anything, there was more taralli than salami and cheese, but our reviewer said that it was good enough to eat on its own. While she admits she is happy to snack on any cheese, she liked that the box included a handout listing information and suggested wine pairings for each one, making it a tasty and informative experience. However, it is pricey, with subscriptions starting at $58.

Price: $58 to $68, depending on subscription plan

Items per box: Five to six

Shipping frequency: Monthly

Option to pick products? No

Pros:

• International cheese selection
• Includes bonus items

Con:

• Expensive

Caffeine lovers wanting to expand their coffee palates may want to join the Trade Coffee Club, which partners with over 55 roasters across the US. When you sign up, you can select between two subscription tiers. The first is the standard Trade Subscription, which includes a selection of coffees that cost around $16 per bag, and the second is the Trade Plus Subscription, which is more costly but offers subscribers a broader selection of coffee options.

To narrow down your choices, you can take the brand’s online quiz, which asks you about your coffee and brewing method preferences, and based on your responses, Trade will pick coffees for you, though your choices aren’t limited to their recommendations. From there, you can select between a standard or 32-ounce coffee bag, whole-bean or ground coffee, and the delivery frequency. Plus, Trade offers a significant discount if folks opt for a long-term subscription or a larger order.

Firstleaf — $90.00

If you’re looking to ease into the world of wines, consider Firstleaf, a subscription service that delivers wine from around the world straight to your door. You can choose to receive six or 12 bottles of wine per month, and each shipment is selected specifically for your palate. Firstleaf bases its selections on your responses to a quiz about your wine preferences and provides recommendations that match your custom tasting profile. However, subscribers can select wines from Firstleaf’s extensive online catalog.

Our reviewer left it up to Firstleaf to select for her. Three red wines, two white wines, and one rosé wine arrived at her door. The wines were also accompanied by information about the wine’s origins, tasting notes, and pairing ideas. Not only was it fun for our reviewer to learn more about what she was sipping on, but it was also helpful for a self-professed “wine newbie.” One tradeoff: Firstleaf doesn’t offer smaller shipments, which might be a tradeoff for singletons or small households.

Price: $80 to $160, depending on subscription plan

Items per box: Six to 12

Shipping frequency: Monthly

Option to pick products? Yes

Pros:

• Wide variety of wines
• Personalized experience to match your wine preferences

Con:

• Only comes in six- and 12-bottle options

Shaker & Spoon — $50.00

If you want to whip up cocktails at home, consider Shaker & Spoon’s monthly subscription service. Each themed box includes house-made bitters, mixers, specialty syrups, and garnishes to create cocktail recipes crafted by award-winning mixologists. You just have to provide the booze. Past boxes have featured mezcal, vodka, and rum (Our reviewer chose Puttin’ on the Spritz 2: Italian Affair, which centers around spritzes), most of which have enough supplies to make a total of four servings per cocktail recipe.

Our reviewer’s cocktail-making kit came with an abundance of information, including ingredients lists for each of three recipes and recommended liquors. She had no mixing experience making craft cocktails, but the clear instructions made the end result taste like something out of a craft cocktail bar. If anything, it required bar equipment that isn’t included in the kit, and though our reviewer managed without some supplies, she imagined that some would be necessary for other recipes—a tradeoff for those without a well-stocked home bar.

Price: $50 to $59, depending on subscription plan

Items per box: Number of items vary per box

Shipping frequency: Monthly

Option to pick products? Yes

Pros:

• One kit makes a total of 12 cocktails
• Recipes are made by award-winning mixologists

Con:

• Does not include alcohol

Blue Apron — $61.00

Blue Apron has become synonymous with meal kit delivery services. Our reviewer has long used the service, and she said it has taken the guesswork out of weeknight dinners. Blue Apron offers an ever-expanding selection of recipes, in addition to seasonal meal kits and heat-and-eat meals, all consistently tasty—and more importantly, easy to make—to stave off monotony and keep homemade meals interesting. Think: sweet and spicy noodles with mushroom and bok choy and spicy honey-soy chicken and broccoli.

Every Blue Apron meal our reviewer has made has been well-rounded, with equal portions of carbs, protein, and veggies, which she said is a welcome change to the meals she makes when left to her own imagination. Plus, the clear instructions and included pre-measured ingredients (which unfortunately comes wrapped in a lot of plastic, according to our reviewer) cuts cooking time in half. It offers flexible meal plans and subscriptions, too—subscribers can pick from five meal preferences, for two or four servings and two to four weekly meals.

Price: Starting at $8/per serving

Items per box: Number of items vary per box

Shipping frequency: Weekly

Option to pick products? Yes

Pros:

• Ingredients are pre-measured
• Offers meal kits, ready-to-eat meals, and seasonal boxes

Con:

Sun Basket — $102.00

Sun Basket is a meal kit delivery service that ships subscribers USDA-certified organic and sustainable ingredients to make healthful meals each week. Like Blue Apron, Sun Basket subscribers can choose between classic meal kits or heat-and-eat meals, with options for two or four serving and two to four weekly meals. What sets it apart is that it caters to a wide variety of lifestyle and food preferences and provides options for folks with dietary allergies and restrictions, including our reviewer who is allergic to sesame.

Our reviewer received four meals (two ready-to-eat and two meal kits) in her first box, and she attested that every recipe was of “restaurant-quality flavor.” The included Juicy Lucy Sliders recipe was her favorite, and she said that was one of the best burgers she’s ever made at home. “Each ‘inside-out’ slider was filled with an explosive ooey-gooey cheesy core that gave my usual favorite (ahem, In-N-Out Burger) a run for its money. But my favorite part was the sweet and tangy peperonata relish that elevated the dish,” she said. “It was a 10 out of 10 for me, folks.” She added, “The process of making the entire meal took no more than 20 minutes, and each step was defined in the printout booklet with step-by-step instructions.” Convenience and quality? Yes, please.

Price: Starting at $12/per serving for Meal Kit; $10/per serving for Fresh & Ready Meals

Items per box: Number of items vary per box

Shipping frequency: Weekly

Option to pick products? Yes

Con:

Jeni’s Pint Club Three-Month Subscription — $199.00

If you’re a Jeni’s fan, you’re in luck: The brand has a subscription service that ships scoops to your home. Our reviewer, who sampled a month’s supply, is one such fan. “I’m a Columbus, Ohio native, aka, the city where Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream was born, but a current Los Angeles resident,” she said. “So, Jeni’s subscription service for ice cream pints, the Pint Club, is extra delicious to me—it basically transports me to high-school-era summer nights! Nostalgia aside, this service won’t disappoint any devoted lover of sophisticated scoops.”

The Pint Club costs $199 for a three-month subscription, $389 for a six-month subscription plan, and $759 for a12-month plan. Each shipment comes with four pints, two of which may be unreleased flavors to offer members an exclusive taste. This means that every box is a surprise, and according to our reviewer, “it may not be the best ice cream option for someone who is particular about the flavors in their freezer.” Plus, the pints ship with dry ice in an insulated carton so that they don’t turn into ice cream soup in transit. “The dry ice in the packaging kept the pints frozen for the four hours I accidentally left it outside (whoops!),” our reviewer reported. “A scoop lover’s dream indeed.”

Price: $199 to $759, depending on subscription

Items per box: Four

Shipping frequency: Monthly for three, six, or 12 months

Option to select products? No

Pros:

• Comes with four pints
• Might include unreleased flavors

Vosges Signature Club Haut-Chocolate — $200.00

Made with premium ingredients and concocted by Vosges Haut-Chocolate CEO and chocolatier Katrina Markoff, the price reflects this box’s quality—but it’s worth it if you want a real taste of fine chocolate.

Price: $200

Items per box: Three

Shipping frequency: Monthly for three months

Option to select products? No

• Three chocolate assortments each month

Loverery Play Kit — $120.00

The Lovevery Play Kit is a toy subscription box for kids—and, by extension, parents who want to provide their young ones with age-appropriate toys that support their development. While parents don’t get to choose the box’s contents, Lovevery customizes it to your child’s age. Plus, every toy is made with organic and sustainable materials to give parents peace of mind while their children play. Our reviewer’s 14-month-old tried out the Babbler Play Kit, which came with eight high-quality toys and three board books.

Our reviewer proclaimed that the best part was the parent’s guidebook that came inside. “I learned so much from reading it,” she said. “There’s a breakdown of how a child typically develops during this time and how you can help them, ideas on how to play with each of the toys and why they’re useful at this age (and recommendations on what order to introduce the toys in), plus additional age-appropriate activities you can do at home—or restaurants or planes—with everyday objects like ice cubes or toilet paper rolls.” The Lovevery Play Kit comes every three months to take the guesswork out of planning playtime, and you can skip or edit a subscription at any time at no extra charge.

Datebox Club — $32.00

If your ideal date night involves interactive bonding activities, look no further than the Datebox Club. Subscribers receive a themed box with a different activity and a snack each month. Our reviewer’s first box was the “Sweet and Salty Box,” which included a couple’s journal, a dice game called Rally Roll, and a full-size bag of cotton candy snacks. It also included a small soy candle, which came as a nice bonus for our subscriber, who used it to “set the mood” of her date night.

As someone who’s often stumped on how to mix up date night, our reviewer said the Datebox Club was a welcome change to the standard movie or dinner out. While the box’s contents initially seemed unassuming, she said it offered her and her partner the opportunity to bond in brand-new ways. One drawback is that subscribers can’t choose the box’s content, though our reviewer mentioned that it shouldn’t be a problem for couples who are open to trying new experiences.

The Lift Box — $40.00

The Lift Box is a monthly fitness box for weightlifters. Each box includes a variety of essentials—from protein bars to beverages to workout equipment and more—to help its subscribers build and maintain their strength. The Lift Box selects the boxes’ contents, meaning subscribers don’t get a say in what goes in a box. However, our reviewer, who received one of its boxes to sample, said the included products were straightforward but practical, making it ideal for folks who maintain a rigorous movement routine.

Her box included protein in powder and snack formats, powered drinks, a ready-to-drink energy beverage, and a deck of double-sided workout cards with detailed instructions for 53 exercises. It also included a T-shirt, which, though optional, comes free with every box. According to our reviewer, one tradeoff is that The Lift Box cannot be customized for subscribers with dietary allergies or restrictions, which is unfortunate considering that much of the contents are foodstuffs.

Best self-care and wellness subscription boxes

TheraBox — $33.00

Self-care isn’t a once-in-a-while indulgence; it’s a necessity—and anyone who wants to make taking care of themselves a priority might love TheraBox, a monthly self-care subscription box that is curated by therapists. Each themed box includes eight full-sized products to aid in relaxation and reduce stress and one therapist-approved activity, ranging from journaling prompts to mindfulness activities, that is inspired by research in mindfulness, psychology, and neuroscience.

Our reviewer received a box centered around sleep, which she said couldn’t have come at a better time because she had been clocking less than six hours of shut-eye over the last couple of weeks. It included everything from tea to CBD drops to sleep patches infused with a combination of melatonin and magnesium. There was even a bedtime journal and a bedside carafe. Suffice it to say that this box made her want to rethink her sleep hygiene routine—or lack thereof—which typically consists of scrolling through her phone until her eyes become heavy. “The products were both practical and delightful,” said our reviewer. “Receiving it made me immediately want to indulge in self-care, which falls to the wayside for so many of us—and for what you get in box, it’s well-worth the extra dollars.”

All three subscription plans also come with a bonus gift and a QR code, which links to a playlist to set the mood.

The candle chosen for our reviewer had notes of cedar alongside musk and lavender, all scents she favors when selecting candles, which was a testament to the accuracy of the company’s recommendations. The box also included two candle-burning accessories—a wick trimmer and snuffer—and the bonus gift (a sunglasses pouch), which provided some value and excitement to opening the box. She also mentioned that it came in packaging that was attractive (and not to mention, free of plastic), making it perfect for gifting.
