The Best Men's Subscription Boxes at a Glance
How We Vetted the Best Subscription Boxes for Men
We sourced the best subscription boxes for men based on various factors. Looking at numerous consumer reviews, scouring through testimony after testimony of the good, the bad, the ugly and even the mediocre to sift through pros and cons to select the best-of-the-best brands on the market. We’ve even considered the price point, noting the value per box by accessing how many items you receive, what brands are included, the quality and make and finally how much you’d save if you were to purchase the items at retail value.
While the best men’s subscription box ultimately boils down to personal preference and is entirely dependent upon what the consumer is seeking out, we made it our mission to include a variety of categories that can appeal to anyone’s needs. Specifically, we looked for fashion, grooming, beverages, food, tech and trinkets and found both niche and more general options, including boxes that have bars of soap, a monthly refresh of underwear, a refreshing pack of his favorite alcohol or even a tailor-made box of some of the coolest fashion items on the market. Now, let’s jump straight into it. Here are 37 of our favorites men’s subscription boxes you don’t want to miss out on.
The 55 Best Gifts for Men (There, We Did Your Shopping For You)
1. Stitch Fix for Men
Ahh…there’s nothing quite like a shipment of fresh, new clothing to spruce up your hubby’s wardrobe. Enter: Stitch Fix, the subscription box designed to make shopping easy and simple by doing the heavy lifting for you. Simply take their style questionnaire so Stitch Fix stylists can understand your fashion preferences and your budget, customize how often you want to receive each type of look (so you might opt for, say, business looks infrequently) and your work is done! A stylist will begin to pull curated pieces to include in your Stitch Fix box. All you have to do is pay a $20 styling fee, which gets credited towards any items you decide to keep. Depending on your preferences and budget, you can expect to receive your Stitch Fix box with $30 to $400 items from well-known brands like Vuori and Polo Ralph Lauren. They even add a prepaid label to make returns or exchanges hassle-free. While no subscription is required, Stitch Fix offers delivery options every two to three weeks, every month, every other month or every three months. (You can also just send your guy a gift card for them to use at their convenience.)
2. Chicago Steak Company
Fire up the grill! Chicago Steak Company is one of the top subscription boxes for meat lovers and makes the perfect gift for your dad or significant other who can’t seem to leave the grill alone. Chicago Steak Company has over 83 steak options to choose from, which you can easily shop by cut, grade or sort through according to a varying price range that spans $75 to $400. And you’ll get to enjoy the brand’s selections of meats like the premium angus beef ribeye (from $110; $85) or a box of four premium angus beef bone-in filet mignon (from $390; $240). For quality and safety measures, your steaks will deliver to your door in individually wrapped, vacuumed-sealed bags and will be protected in dry ice. As PureWow’s associate food editor Taryn Pire previously explained, “Each steak—from filet mignon to the dry-aged tomahawk to Kobe Wagyu ribeye—is hand-cut by Chicago butchers that have an impressive five generations of experience.” If you’re drooling over the many options, Pire’s prime pick is the Best Seller, which boasts an assortment of filet mignon, boneless strips, top sirloin and ribeye.
3. Bespoke Post
This one’s for the man who loves a sentimental, thoughtful gift—the kind that feels like it was handpicked just for him, because, well, it kind of was. Bespoke Post is a monthly subscription box shipped straight to your door packed with a few goodies that you'd see on the accessories table of a men's hipster boutique, from a set of guard products (from $49) that’ll protect him from mosquitoes to a lightweight pocketknife or a bird call for his next hike in Yosemite. They even have boxes to browse and purchase on their website at a non-membership price tag (no subscription required) like a specialty luxurious Gambit box ($110) with a value over $200 that features classic backgammon, a set of whiskey chilling stones, neat glasses and leather coasters that’ll go well in his mancave. If you sign up for a membership, you can receive a monthly box that ships out in the middle of the month for $49 with the option to customize styles and colors, swap for new boxes, skip a month or cancel anytime.
4. GQ's Best Stuff Box
Each quarter, GQ magazine rolls its favorite men's grooming products and accessories into a box and sends them to its subscribers. Previous boxes have included PureWow-approved Mighty Patch pimple patches, Prada cologne, a deck of playing cards and Harry’s deodorant. The Summer 2023 box includes evergreen Bather swim trunks, a washed baseball cap, roll-on fragrance oil from Riddle, a beaded bracelet, cold brew concentrate, soothing skin cream, Youth to the People clearing face mask and more. FYI: The quarterly box contains more than $200 worth of products, and it only costs $59 (or a total of $236 per year), but there’s also an option to sign up for an annual billing of $216 and save $20. Not only that, but when you sign up for a subscription plan, you gain access to shop GQ’s curated list of favorite products at a discounted rate of up to 75 percent off retail value. For director of affiliate strategy Pamela Masin’s husband, the GQ box is a monthly highlight. “My husband's face lights up every time he receives the GQ subscription box…He likes that a lot of the brands are ones that he hasn't heard of before, especially for the beauty products like aftershave or sunscreen—stuff men don't do a whole lot of research on and just grab what they see at the drugstore. It is a little heavy on the beauty side (think, shaving essentials, cologne, etc.) but overall there's a good mix of fashion, beauty and home gadget-y type of products.”
5. Craft Jerky Co
It’s time to forget about the grocery store grab-and-go jerky snacks and choose premium beef that your man will go crazy over. The Craft Jerky Co. subscription box sends you your choice of two, four, six or eight packs of the best-of-the-best jerky that’s taste-tested and rated by a team of jerky-loving experts. You can expect to receive an array of flavors that’ll make your mouth water. Craft Jerky Co. includes flexible options which let you choose to sign up for a month-to-month subscription or prepay for a set number if you only want to send a few boxes per year. Plus, you have the decision to pay anywhere from $19 to $57 per month. Whether the man in your life is a hiker and loves to pack high-protein snacks in his backpack or he’s jetting off to Croatia for pleasure and can’t stomach the plane food, this box of jerky is sure to make his day (and curb his growling stomach) while he’s on the go.
6. Moose Munch Premium Popcorn Club
What’s movie night without the popcorn? There’s nothing worse than finding your next Netflix watch only to realize you’re out of popcorn. The Moose Much Premium Popcorn Club can fix that. The monthly delivery snack box comes equipped with flavorful popcorn that changes monthly and seasonally, from a classic caramel to a sweet peanut butter chocolate and even the brand’s staple Moose Munch. So the next time that movie buff is longing to settle into his media room and watch classics, he’ll have his Moose Munch picks to accompany those flickering images. The delicious, seasonally crafted crunchy snack (think: fall batches drizzled with Cinnamon Maple Pecan and Dark Chocolate to holiday popcorn suffused with peppermint bark) costs anywhere from $60 for three monthly deliveries to $200 for 12 months of deliveries, plus you get to decide which month you want your subscription to start on. They even break down the monthly contents so you can get a sweet (err, sneak) peak of your yummy snacks.
7. Trade Gift Coffee Subscription
The day hasn’t started until you’ve had your first cup of coffee. (Hey, we don’t make the rules.) The coffee aficionado in your life will love this subscription box, and it’ll give him a break from his Nespresso machine or his $6 daily coffee. With over 300,000 positive reviews, the Trade Gift Coffee subscription includes anywhere between two and 24 personalized nut-free coffees—with no added ingredients—hand-picked from the best roasters, like Verve, Caffe Vita and Bird Rock. Every bag is roasted on demand and delivered at lightning speed to ensure ultimate freshness. The subscription service also provides options to easily change account preferences whenever if you want to manage your subscription frequency, switch from ground coffee to whole coffee beans or pause or cancel your subscription for any reason. “By connecting me with high-quality rosters across the country, I get to try coffees I otherwise never would have been able to access,” raves Dylan, a Trade Coffee customer. “Oh, and everything I’ve received so far has been delicious.” Prices start at $40 for two bags and go up to $480 (on sale for $430) for 24 bags if you’re buying in bulk for the office.
8. Breo Box
Does he always pine after (and obsessively research) the newest tech launches? Then this is the box for him. Every three months, he’ll get a shipment of unique gadgets, home goods, fitness products and more (think drones, Tesla lighters and hydroponic herb gardens) that are curated to fit the season thanks to Breo Box. The products are worth $200 to $300 dollars and include some of the best tech items, like a wireless mini projector that’ll make the best movie night or an Ember mug you thought about gifting him last Christmas. And it’s a hit amongst its loyal subscribers, too, who can choose to gift one, two, three or four seasonal boxes and will only be charged once. Jessica B., a Brea Box customer who’s shopped with the company for five years, says, “The products are good quality and there is always something in each box that is exciting or fun for my particular tastes. When an item does not fit my needs, they are always high quality enough to give to a friend or family member as a gift so there is rarely anything going to waste.” While Breo Box easily allows customers to skip a box or cancel a subscription easily, they don’t accept returns, so we suggest you use superfluous items as holiday gifts for loved ones.
9. Hive Brands
This is for the guy who’s committed to sustainability and equity. The one who opts for clean products and pays attention to what he puts into his body because it’s a temple after all. The Hive Brands subscription box lets you custom curate items from kitchen staples like a Tony’s Chocolonely bar you’ll steal a few (or many) bites from to must-haves for the bathroom like Zum laundry soap that are sourced and packaged responsibly and priced at a 10 percent discount. Simply start sifting through their products by categories, dietary restrictions, brands, attributes or causes and select items (minimum of $35 order) he'll love. Basically, this is the auto-fill for the grocery store shopping items that he needs. On his list: mundane (rice ramen) and indulgent (dark chocolate peanut butter cups). Check and check.
10. Home Chef
Cooking at the end of a long workday, let alone after a relaxing weekend, can seem like another chore to cross off your to-do list if you’re anyone but Jeremy Allen White from The Bear. Enter: Home Chef. This subscription box brings fresh weekly meal kits straight to your door, all he’s required to do is customize his box to his dietary preferences and restrictions. Home Chef provides him with the option to select preferences like the amount of people he’s planning to cook for and the number of recipes he wants to receive per week. And he can pause his subscription or skip a delivery if he wants, but we doubt he’ll have the urge to, as there's no chance of him getting tired of the same dishes thanks to Home Chef’s weekly recipe rotations. So, what’s he craving this week? A Baja-style spicy impossible burger for the vegetarian or ricotta stuffed meatloaf for a hearty dish that reminds him of home? Either way, we know he won’t want to pass up on the chocolate chip cookie skillet dessert add-on if he knows what’s good for him.
11. Mystery Pleasure Box
If you’re looking to spice things up a bit, look no further than the Mystery Pleasure Box subscription from Cratejoy, which lets you select boxes curated for male-female use, same sex couples or solo play that are filled with lubes, lotions, toys and bedroom accessories—including any batteries needed. So if he’s always up to try new things in the bedroom, this is the box for him. The Mystery Pleasure Box even has one-, three-, six- or twelve-month subscriptions if you want to test the waters or build out your sexy accessories collection. “We loved everything in our box and everything is so high quality and made to last,” raves Christie D. of the Girl/Boy Couple Box. The boxes also come with a helpful instructions sheet for less experienced shoppers.
12. Firstleaf
Now’s the time to get your significant other into wine. Firstleaf makes it so easy to create a custom box with an assortment of six wines that suits his taste buds, from a Le Temps des Récoltes 2020 Bordeaux Blanc to Musa Noctuaria 2020 Rosé of Garnacha. All he has to do is take a quick yet comprehensive quiz that helps determine the flavors he likes. He’ll answer questions like, “How many bottles of wine do you drink a month,” or “How do you feel about these flavors in your wine?” to ensure the box is as adventurous as he’d like and as suited to his palate as possible. After the quiz, Firstleaf will select six bottles based on his preferences. Best of all, your recipient can choose their own wines for every subscription, so there’s no risk of sending someone a cava when they're more of a Barolo drinker. Then he’ll rate his wines to get sent better recommendations for the next delivery. (They’ll even provide a free credit towards their wine store if you don’t enjoy a bottle.) No more judging reds and whites by their labels in the middle of the liquor store (admit it, you do it, too). Soon he’ll be asking the waiter about tannins when he orders a red at dinner.
13. Stance
Not only does Stance make some of the comfiest underwear and socks, but it also features fun patterns with pop culture references, plus motifs from sports and movies. (ICYDK: The brand is hip among sneakerheads.) Just choose underwear or socks, the number he wants to receive (two, three or four pairs) and whether he wants them monthly or quarterly. Easy peasy. Just let the brand pick products based on a brief quiz or have him curate his own box if he chooses to become a member. He’ll also have the option to skip a month or cancel his subscription at any time, though we’ll bet he won’t want to do that once he tries these out. This should stop him from running out of clean socks and underwear…at least until the next send.
14. Amazon Prime Try Before Your Buy
If your man likes to pick out his own clothes, Amazon Prime Try Before You Buy has a giant selection of name brands that he can try on before buying, like Clarks, Puma and Levi’s. Just fill his cart with up to eight pieces and they’ll all get shipped so he can try them on at home for up to seven days. He can keep the items he likes and send back the ones he doesn’t with a prepaid shipping label. And he’ll only be charged for the items he keeps. There’s basically no risk involved in this shopping experience. Anyone with an eligible Prime membership has access to Prime Try Before You Buy, and if you’re not a Prime member already, the company offers a free 30-day trial that’ll grants you access to all the benefits, including free delivery, exclusive Amazon TV shows and movies, unbelievable deals and so much more.
15. Dollar Shave Club
If buying razors is always a forgotten task, give his scruff a little extra attention with personalized shipments. For less than he’d pay in the store (and way more convenience), Dollar Shave Club offers two razor options (four blades or six blades) and has additional products to add to each shipment, including body wash, shampoo and toothpaste from Dollar Shave Club’s own brand. Not to mention the blades are designed for a precise shave with a lubricating strip and high-quality stainless steel blades (aka, better results in fewer strokes). But don’t just take our word for it. Tony, a member since 2015, says “Best blades bar none. The blades give you a close, smooth shave even after many uses. Highly recommend.” If you’re not satisfied with your bundle, Dollar Shave Club offers a 30-day money back guarantee. Plus, subscribers can select what day and how often they want to receive their box. The starter set is just $9, but we're partial to the Buttery Starter Kit (razor handle, four six-blade razors and shave butter) for $35 and the Ultimate Shave Kit for $18 which includes a handy prep scrub and post-shave dew in addition to the shave butter, razor handle and razor refills.
16. The Craft Beer Club
Impress all of his friends at the next guys’ night with bottles and cans from microbreweries around the country. They can crack open an IPA, Pale Ale or other beer of their choosing. Each box spotlights beer from two breweries located in different regions and comes with either 12 or 24 craft beer that’ll be delivered straight to your door on a monthly or quarterly basis. They’ll send you four different styles—two from each brewery that’ll change every month—and the beer selections consistently range from 5.0 percent to 7.0 percent ABV, per the company. It’s a great way to up your standing with the biggest beer aficionado in your life.
17. Murray’s Cheese of The Month Subscription
Calling all cheese lovers: We’ve found the best subscription box ever. Murray’s Cheese of the Month sources the highest-quality cheese from producers around the world and delivers it to your doorstep, along with a handy information card with serving and wine pairing suggestions. Sit back, relax and enjoy some nutty Pyrenees brebis or a tangy clothbound cheddar. While we’re all-in on the Classic Cheese of the Month Club box, we’re also eyeing the Mac and Cheese of the Month Club (from $57 per month) and Perfect Pair of the Month Club (from $75 per month) subscription, too. Who wouldn’t want a side of salami or olives that are guaranteed to pair well with your cheeses? Murray’s has “exceptional choices and varied tastes and textures,” says Joe, a satisfied reviewer. “[The box] delivered in excellent condition and your staff worked around our busy travel schedule to complete this gift delivery.” Consider this an excuse to invite your friends over to make the best charcuterie board they’ve ever tasted.
18. Scentbird
Your guy loves scent, but doesn't want to hang around a department store beauty counter being bombarded with too many samples at once. With Scentbird, he can take a quiz about his likes and dislikes (maybe he leans toward fresh citrusy scents or prefers a spicy warm vibe?), then get an 8ml bottle of a new fragrance from over hundreds of top brands like Prada and Bulgari delivered directly to his door. As an added bonus, the trial scent fits inside a sleek grey reusable fragrance case to protect your vial that they’ll send you with your first order.
19. Short Par 4
Let’s say your guy loves to hit the range or play 18 holes every Saturday and Sunday. The Short Par 4 service allows subscribers to avoid overpriced pro shops or unknown online vendors and get quality merch—hand selected for you—from esteemed golf brands like Calloway, Oakley and RLX monthly. Choose to purchase a gift card or redeem one of their three packages: Fairway ($55), Magnolia ($99) or Executive ($110). Gifts are three-month memberships beginning at $160, and any items your golfer returns will be credited to his account to be used against future purchases. He’ll end up saving a lot of money in the long run compared to traditional retail prices (over 50 percent off when he signs up for a membership). We’d like to call that a hole-in-one.
20. Misfits Market
We give this fresh produce and grocery delivery service high marks for reasonably priced and quality food delivered straight to your door. Sign up for once a week or every other week deliveries of fresh foods that otherwise would go to waste due to size, shape or other irregularity (don’t worry, they’re still delicious). Misfits Market does require an order minimum, but this varies by delivery area. Bonus—prices are up to 40 percent off. Every week, Misfits Market curates a list of groceries that you’ll be able to view and customize if needed once your three-day shopping window opens up. You’re one step away from enjoying an organic seedless watermelon or 100-percent grass-fed boneless beef ribeye steak for your dinner party this weekend.
21. Rad Dad Box
The Rad Dad Box is the sweetest way for new fathers to have something that’s just for them and baby. This monthly kit sends him three to four items to welcome the new dad to fatherhood and help bond with baby, from baby toys and books to self-care products like a soft sponge to clean up spills or wash baby, plus so much more. Past boxes included blue bear rattle socks, hand sanitizer for dad's day out and maple syrup for dad to put on his pancakes. You can also add a sweet note for the nicest personal touch on his birthday. “I got this box as a way to make my husband feel special when we found out we were expecting,” raves shopper Corbie L. “He lit up every month when his box arrived, and that was so wonderful! When I submitted mostly positive feedback to the curator, she honed-in on the one thing that he didn't love as much as the rest, and she personally sent a note every month to make sure we would be completely happy with the contents. Talk about next-level customer service!”
22. Mash and Grape
Mash and Grape makes an excellent housewarming present. Not only is it a great way to build a home liquor cabinet, but it’s also an easy (and fun) way to learn more about the traditional processes that go into making a distinctive Scotch, say, or a notable sipping tequila. Basically, you’ll pick between whiskey, Scotch, bourbon, gin, tequila or rum and the Mash and Grape team will work magic, curating an impressive bottle of spirits for you to enjoy from independent bottlers and small-scale distillers around the world every month. The box even comes with tasting notes and the story of its creation for the recipient to enjoy.
23. The Mantry
To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, when a man is tired of snacks, he is tired of life. We know that the noshing fellow in your life is going to delight in the items we've found in past boxes: smoky peanut butter, fennel and pepper salami, even a frozen tonic syrup to elevate that after-work vodka tonic. For Russel L., the subscription box is more than just snacks. “[It’s a] great way to experience pieces of America through food! The ordering and subscription process is easy, and the customer service is excellent. You don't just get products, you get information and it is a cool way to learn.” Some of their past boxes have covered themes like Bourbon BBQ, Pizza Party and Tailgate Tour (which was packed with everything he’d want to enjoy in the parking lot by the grill, like Aurelia’s chorizo, La Esquina black bean dip and Mike’s hot honey amongst other goodies). Forget the pantry, he’s got the mantry calling his name.
24. MeUndies
There’s nothing worse than running out of clean pairs of undies or having to reach for your really old boxers (that you probably should have tossed out years ago). Not anymore. The MeUndies men’s subscription box lets your giftee select a style (boxer brief, trunk, boxer or brief), then according to whatever plan you've chosen (Classic, Bold or Adventurous) and their size, they get undies sent their way, made in the signature MeUndies ultra-soft lightweight fabrics, no-chafe stitching and a non-binding waistband. Not only that, but MeUndies gives them the option to add another pair on if they want to match their better half or if they want gift themselves one more for their collection at a discounted price. For one reviewer, it was a breath of fresh air from his usual undergarments. “I was searching for new underwear and had heard about MeUndies on podcasts. I thought I would give it a try because the last few pairs I've bought from Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Under Armour have not been anything I liked. MeUndies are very comfortable, soft, look great and you barely feel them when you wear them. I've also bought their socks, which are also high quality. The no-show socks do not slip down under your heal, and are very soft,” he adds.
25. Butcher Box
This Butcher Box service is a gem, mostly because it's high-quality and saves him the chore of having to go to the butcher, the fishmonger and various other special markets. You can choose what's in your box, from all grass-fed-grass-finished beef, heritage pork, free-range organic chicken and sustainably harvested and wild-caught seafood that’s sourced from the company’s trusted partners. They also give you free reign to update your cuts in every order if you choose to purchase their Custom Box ($169 per month), but they also have three other box subscriptions, too: the Mixed Box ($146 per month), Beef and Chicken Box ($146 per month) and the Beef and Pork Box ($146 per month). So if your pops is the type of dad who orders steak and eggs for breakfast every morning, then we’ll bet this subscription box will make him and his stomach happy.
26. Mystery Tackle Box
Fisherfolk are notoriously difficult to select gifts for—they like their lures just so, and won't be interested in trying anything you pick out, unless you're a bigtime fisher yourself. So this gifting service is great because it lets the recipient choose from a wide selection of hard baits, soft baits, jigs, reels and other tackle you need not concern yourself with. They offer three unique plans (Regular, Pro and Elite) along with various pricing plans, from a monthly plan, three-month plan, six-month plan and a twelve-month plan. Not only that, but they throw in free gifts for certain plans, like a Googan Squad Green Series Rod or a Plano Tackle Storage. And once you sign up, you can select which type of species you fish for among Walleye, Bass, Panfish, Trout, Inshore Saltwater and a seasonal Ice Fishing option.
27. Gentleman's Box
Purchasing a suit for his brother’s wedding this fall or that end of summer gala event he doesn’t really want to go to in the first place is no easy feat. Besides securing the tux, you also need to make sure you’re not overlooking all the required accessories. Patterned socks, suave ties, timeless suspenders, cool cufflinks and elegant pocket squares…the list go on and the cost adds up. But with the Gentleman’s Box, you pay anywhere from $26 to $35 a month, depending on which payment plan you opt for (monthly, pre-paid quarterly, pre-paid bi-annual, pre-paid annual), and receive a box containing fashionable accessories tailored to the season that’ll complete his ‘fit. There’s something for everyone looking to spruce up their look. You can expect to receive an assortment of textures, designs, patterns and colors, from cool shades of grey to moody burgundies and even bright hues of pinks and orange. Plus, you can easily pause, skip or cancel your Gentleman’s Box subscription for any reason within your personal account page on their website.
28. Battlbox
Is your guy is a big fan of shows like Naked and Afraid and Doomsday Preppers, where some poor sap tries to outwit Mother Nature but fails miserably? Don’t let him be that guy and gift him the Battlbox, which will supply him with a monthly haul of how-to guides and gadgets guaranteed to at least give him a head start on surviving the zombiepocalypse. For Michael, a BattlBox subscriber for over two years, it’s a no-brainer. “They have exposed me to new and awesome gear that I never would have found or gotten myself that I love, and the customer service is hands down the best of any company or store that I have ever dealt with. If you’re undecided about joining I say you need to go ahead and join you will not regret it.” Another reviewer writes, “Even when I get items I’m unsure I will use, it never ceases to surprise me that I end up being glad I got it a few months down the road.” There’s even the option to subscribe to boxes containing more serious gear like compasses, tents and axes. With Solo Stove, Leatherman, My Medic and more survivalist-approved brands included in Battlebox, you can rest assured that you’ll be set up for success come the zombie invasion.
29. Glovebox
Car care is so much easier when you have the right products and tools, and this box contains five to seven of the best cleaners for all your detailing needs, as well as a microfiber towel. “If you’re looking for a Father’s Day gift for the car lover in your life, this is the place to go with the gift that keeps giving,” writes Charles, a satisfied customer. “Unlike many other companies, Glovebox sends you FULL-SIZE products—not samples. Glovebox also sends coupons for the products you received that month, so if you love what you got you can purchase it again at a discount. Highly recommend. If you don't like it, you can cancel it [anytime] since you’re on a month-to-month payments.” Say your giftee just got their first car—this set of products will let them understand it better as they're taking care of it (i.e., they'll finally stop parking under that tree whose berries corrodes the paint). If your recipient is a longtime car buff, they'll appreciate new formulations of cleaning and buffing supplies. There's something for upholstery, paint protection, tire maintenance and more. And everything within your monthly box is valued between $60 and $105. Not to mention, Glovebox includes extra goodies in each box, like a how-to guide that’ll walk you through how to properly use the items in addition to those discount codes.
30. Good Cigar Co.
Calling all Al Pacino and Marlon Brando wannabes. The Good Cigar Co. is the ultimate men’s subscription box for cigar aficionados. Before your first shipment, you request "mild to medium," "variety" or "medium to full" intensity and boldness preferences. Then, once you receive your selections, there's an online palate quiz you answer by email, so that future sets can hew to your liking. Not only that, but you’ll also receive detailed information about each cigar selected for you, matches, a cigar cutter and a humidified tube to keep your cigars fresh all year long. Now show us your best Vito Corleone impersonation, roll out your cigar and say, “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.” Who’s the godfather now?
31. Jerky of the Month Club
MEAT! MEAT! MEAT! This is what we imagine your man screaming when he receives his Jerky of the Month Club subscription box. Starting at $16 a month, he’ll get two bags (or a choice of four, six or eight) a month of high-quality craft and artisan jerky sourced from across the U.S.. Plus, there's always a surprise flavor or two in this collection, such as lime-infused or hickory-smoked recipes. “I bought this subscription for my dad for Christmas,” says Ashley, a Jerky of the Month Club reviewer. “He LOVES getting his box every month and just raves about the products he has been receiving. The customer service is also excellent. They are very helpful, respond to inquiries promptly and go out of their way to ensure the experience is as great as their products are.” Like Ashley’s pops, your giftee will appreciate that it's also a great snack to take on hikes or in the car. Don’t cry over dried beef…or do, because of that option to add a sweet, personalized gift message.
32. Grill Masters Club
There's something about a man and his grill, the special relationship between the height of the flames, whether to turn the meat or not, how charred the ribs should get. Now turn his obsession up to 11 with these special additions that he can endlessly debate the other guys at the barbecue about (and psst, the other guys will want Grill Masters Club boxes of their own). Every month, he’ll get a box of barbecue sauces, spice rubs, wood chips, a "chef's choice" special tool or accessory and recipes from superior brands like Fat Boy Natural BBQ, Miners Mix and Hi Mountain Seasoning from Wyoming. Happy griller Joshua raves, “I got this subscription as a gift from my wonderful future wife! I have received three boxes now and have absolutely loved every single one. Between the sauces, rubs and marinades we have tried almost all of them and have yet to be disappointed! Also, the tools and utensils are great and not something I would have purchased from the store. We can’t wait to see what our future boxes hold.” With over 400 positive reviewers, anyone would be thrilled to find this package on their doorstep.
33. Foot Cardigan
Sock shopping is one of the less exciting sartorial duties out there, but this subscription from Foot Cardigan—with more than 11,000 reviews—makes the task a bit more enjoyable. You’ll smile at the novelty graphics, such as dancing bacon slices or an "I voted!" button design, but if your giftee is a bit more subdued, taste-wise, there are more classic patterns that he can select from and various sizing options, from medium to extra-large and two kid’s sizes, as well. Did we mention that you get your first month of socks for only $7? And there’s an option to receive one or two monthly pairs of socks. That’s a load of fun and comfort wrapped around your feet if we do say so ourselves.
34. Shaker & Spoon
What’s better than receiving recipes that are created by top bartenders who are crafting today's most flavor-forward drinks? Not much else, really. And in every Shaker & Spoon box, there is a set of seasonally selected cocktail mixers and four recipes for making 12 cocktails, all using one liquor or spirit that you provide, plus recipe cards and online tutorials for subscribers who are newer to the cocktail game. For example, did they know that Scotch whiskey is great in summer, not just cooler weather? Or that mezcal is the best backbone for fall adult beverages around Halloween? You’re on your way to becoming a professional mixologist in no time, with syrups, salts and sugars, garnishes, sodas, jams, bitters in every delivery.
35. Hot Sauce of the Month Club
Get the best artisanal hot sauce, curated by the experts at Heat Hot Sauce Shop (yes, that’s a real store in California), delivered right to your door each month. Pick a spice level—mild, classic or extra hot, which can be altered at any time—and enjoy unique flavors like roasted habanero and garlic. Each box comes with tasting note cards. One reviewer notes, “I got…three bottles, all great, plus five small sample packets. It wasn't just ‘this one's spicy...yup, this one [is] too.’ Each bottle was fairly distinct. One [was] very vinegary, another smoky and tangy. The selection was very thoughtful and well done…All of them were the spice level I want from an ‘Extra Hot’ box. Ghost pepper and Carolina Reaper? This was done right. I'm very happy with the quantity and selection and am eagerly waiting my next box.” Time to turn up the heat on your next spread. The only thing missing is the actual food.
36. Menlo Club
This is just the thing to help men expand their style—without a fight or ending up with a pair of ill-fitting chinos. Expect Menlo Club boxes to come packed with clothing, footwear or athleisure from the brand’s in-house men’s labels like New Republic, Melrose Place Grand Run Club and more. Eight months a year he’ll receive clothing-only boxes, while the other four months will be split between shoes and activewear. A yearly shipment calendar is sent to customers at the beginning of their membership, so he’ll know what to expect each month. To start, he’ll take a quick style quiz that’ll map out his preferences and sizing. Then, once he’s a member, he’ll receive $25 percent off the Menlo Club store and gain access to more discounts and exclusive giveaways, too.
37. Dr. Squatch
Squeaky clean and smelling fine. That’s just what your man will feel after receiving his first batch of the Dr. Squatch subscription boxes. The scents of the brand's signature soaps (such as woodsy pine tar, refreshing spearmint basil and citrus-forward grapefruit IPA), the playful packaging and the range of products will please even lads who haven't really gotten into the swing of a good grooming routine yet. And the best part? Dr. Squatch products are made with all natural ingredients (think: spearmint and cedarwood) and without anything on what the brand calls The Sh*t List (think: sulfates, aluminum and parabens.)
