Have you joined the subscription box craze yet? I’ll admit that I have signed up for a few. Some I have been subscribed to for over a year, some I try for a couple months and then decide it is not for me. This is the beauty of subscription boxes – they are convenient, they allow you to try out new things, and they can be stopped at any time. Plus, who doesn’t love getting fun packages in the mail?!
Below are some top subscription boxes in different categories.
Pets: BarkBox
Dogs inspire this monthly subscription service box, with each box containing special treats for your dog. Every month, there is a themed collection that comprises of at least two innovative toys, two bags of treats and a chew. The collection may also feature dog gear, treats, beds and other goodies that will give your dog a new experience. In case your dog does not enjoy the treats, you will get another box to ensure a healthy and happy dog. BarkBox prices are $ 20 per month for a 12 month plan, $ 24 for a 6 month plan and $ 29 for a one month plan.
Other pet boxes: LootPets, KitNipBox, RescueBox, PupJoy
Beauty: Birchbox
One of the best known beauty boxes is designed to allow people to try out beauty products before they can purchase the said products. This means that it acts as a sample, enabling you to buy the full-size item if you like the products by the time you run out of the sample. Some of the advantages of Birchbox are that it helps beauty enthusiasts to find new products and has a lower cost. Ladies will pay $ 10 per month while men will part with $ 20 per month for this service.
Other beauty boxes: Play! by Sephora, Ipsy, Glossybox, FabFitFun
Food: BlueApron
This plan is designed to help people with busy schedules to prepare healthy and delicious home-cooked meals. Subscribers will receive premeasured ingredients as well as recipes on a weekly basis, allowing them to make tasty meals easily. Since all the ingredients contained in the box can be found at a fraction of what Blue Apron charges, subscribers basically pay for the convenience they enjoy. For $ 59.94, you will get a two-person meal while $ 69.92 will give you a four-person plan.
Other food boxes: Hello Fresh, Home Chef, Plated, Freshly
Wine: Winc
Formerly known as Club W, Winc selects wines for subscribers. They will ask you the wine flavors you enjoy before curating a box of three wines depending on your palate profile. The service will also include Thanksgiving-themed boxes, which contain white and red wines. For $ 39 per month, you will get the wine boxes delivered to you every month.
Other wine boxes: California Wine Club, Gold Medal Wine Club, Glassful, Wine of the Month Club
Books: OwlCrate
While there are numerous book-based subscription boxes in the market, this one emphasizes on young adult books. The packages have cute monthly themes, with December being the ‘Get Inspired’ month and October enjoying the theme ‘Leading Ladies’. For $ 29.99 per month, you will also get an arrow necklace, a keychain and art prints. This is a clear indication that the box is targeted at young readers or readers who are young at heart.
