15 Men’s Subscription Boxes For Every Type of Guy

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Sometime in the last few years, subscription boxes went from a niche treat to the gift du jour for birthdays, holidays, and more. That’s because, in a way, subscription boxes are the proverbial gift that keeps on giving, since instead of a single gift, it’s an assemblage of carefully curated items and accessories, delivered to them for months on end.

And “carefully curated” is one of the key benefits of a subscription box: No more desperately guessing what would be a great gift for a particular hobby or taste you may not understand, or simply handing over a gift card to say “I don’t know, get whatever you want.” Here, you get experts delivering a thoughtful assemblage of items tailored to your loved one’s needs.

As the trend has grown, so too has the scope of what a subscription box can be for. Now you can get subscription boxes for food, cosmetics, even boxes for your baby. Each one delivers specific and often surprising selections that not only serve the recipient's needs but also expand their horizons. Subscription boxes offer an opportunity to discover new styles, new tastes, and maybe even entirely new hobbies.

If you’re here, that likely means you have a man in your life who you think could use one of these curated monthly boxes. Maybe you are that man in your life, looking to try something new or just save yourself some trips to the store. A key thing to remember when looking for subscription boxes for men is that a man can be many things. Too often, we pigeonhole the men in our lives into a single interest or style. Sure, he uses some cheap razor, but maybe that’s just because he hasn’t experienced a high-end shave.

And don’t forget, that guy you say “isn’t really into anything” might be a dad, a pet owner, may love a good puzzle or a robust comic collection, and all of those can define them as much as anything. That’s why we’ve found a wide array of subscription boxes for men that make the perfect gift for every type of guy in your life.

Best for a Grooming-Products Upgrade

You know that proper men’s grooming involves a lot more than just shaving, even if he doesn’t. So then why, you might be wondering, are we touting Dollar Shave Club as the best grooming products subscription box? Aren’t they just affordable razors?

The popular, price-in-their-name brand may have built their business on affordable subscription shaving, but they’ve actually expanded their line of products beyond just shave gels and balms to include items like deodorant and antiperspirant, shampoo and conditioner, and even hair pomade.

Subscribers fill out a simple quiz about what they shave (including armpits, legs, etc.), how often, and what skin concerns they have, post-shave and otherwise. Then a collection of products is assembled that’s tailored to those needs, which can be ordered to be delivered at the frequency of their choosing. Best of all, each product comes at the affordable price-point, and consistent quality, that Dollar Shave Club’s fans have come to expect from them.

Best for the Style-Minded

Remember in the 2000s, how many TV shows were all about sharp-dressed stylists taking over a man’s drab wardrobe and helping him find his perfect fit? Maybe you’ve looked at a messily dressed man in your life and thought, “I wish someone could do that for him.” Odds are, he may have wished that same thing himself since plenty of guys find clothes shopping intimidating and don’t know where to start.

Enter Stitch Fix, which uses a simple style quiz to match a man's tastes to a personal stylist, who then curates a selection of clothing items from over a thousand different brands and styles, from adidas and Nike to Polo Ralph Lauren and Levi's. And should some of the stylist-selected items not be to the recipient's liking, he can simply send them back with free shipping and even offer feedback to help the stylist refine their next selections.

Best for Underwear

Maybe the man you're thinking about has an underwhelming undergarment game. A lot of guys don’t think much about what kind of underwear they wear beyond the simple “boxers or briefs” debate. However, MeUndies has a number of notable qualities that will make a man take notice, and once they have, they may not settle for anything less.

Maybe they'll be drawn to the super-soft comfort of MeUndies MicroModal fabric or the options MeUndies offers to subscribers, including cuts like briefs, boxers, and boxer briefs and color categories for their subscription like classic, bold, and even adventurous prints. Or maybe they'll be like this author and be drawn to MeUndies simply because they offered a pair that featured the Ewoks doing their little victory dance at the end of Return of the Jedi. The point is, once you've tried MeUndies, you don't want to switch back to ordinary store-bought briefs.

Best for the Curious

“Bespoke” is a British term defined as “made to the customer’s specifications,” often used in tailoring. So it stands to reason that if you're looking to have a package carefully curated to your loved one's tastes delivered to them in the mail, then Bespoke Post is quite literally the name of the game.

Some subscription boxes for men have such narrow parameters that eventually that the curated monthly content just becomes clutter for the recipient. Bespoke Post avoids that kind of repetition with a unique array of offerings, with boxes ranging from curated cigars to cozy slippers, top-shelf booze to steel blades. That means each box from Bespoke Post offers an opportunity to explore a new hobby and expand your horizons, making it an excellent gift for curious minds.

Best for the Carnivorous

There's a certain type of man out there, a man who takes his particular hobby seriously. A man who tends to his backyard barbecue like it's a sports car. A man who sees his stance on “charcoal or propane” as a deeply held personal belief. A man who sees an apron labeled “Grill Master” not as a hokey novelty, but a title he has earned.

For that very man in your life who takes his meats very seriously, you have to turn to ButcherBox. ButcherBox doesn't send small samples or make you settle for a single type of meat. With ButcherBox, it's about variety and volume. For example, their Mixed Box offers 8-11 pounds of high-quality meats, including grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, and pork raised crate-free. In the hands of the right griller, that's roughly 24 meals in a single box. And you know, just the right griller for such a bounty.

Best for Snackers

If you know a jerky fan who’s been limiting themselves to whatever packets line the checkout lanes of their local grocery store, then they’re missing out on the wide range of craft junkies out there. Just like the craft beer craze ushered in a new era of unique tastes on taps, a new wave of indie jerky brands are producing jerkies from all kinds of meats, offering new flavor combinations that put those “old reliable” gas station staples to shame.

Jerky Snob combines their dehydrated expertise with their passion for finding new flavors to curate monthly boxes of varying sizes (2 bags, 1/2 pound, or 1 pound), offering tastes that range from beer infused to South African style biltong, meats like flank steak, turkey and elk, and expose the recipient to new brands like Jawbox, Two Hot Chicks, and even an official Roy Rogers beef jerky.

Best for the Healthy-Minded

Whether the guy you're shopping for has always been a fitness nut or they've only recently started taking their nutrition more seriously, a healthy lifestyle change can make gifting hard. You want to make sure you're supportive (so, no boxes of chocolates or cases of beer), but also not “Wake up at 6 a.m. and join you for a run”-level supportive, because who has the energy for that, really?

With UrthBox, you can help your friend maintain their diet and lifestyle while giving them the gift of discovering new, healthy snack options they might otherwise never have found. Boxes range from Mini (which contains at least seven full-sized snacks) to Large (which contains at least 27) and come in Classic, Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Diet varieties. Offering everything from dried fruits to superfoods, and snack bars to juice cleanses, UrthBox will show your friend that a healthy diet needn't be bland, and may even help you find a new healthy snack or two.

Best for the Fitness Fan

Perhaps the man you’re shopping for is the proverbial “gym rat” or has really taken to the Crossfit craze. While there are plenty of subscription boxes that offer monthly hauls of supplements or fitness gear, too much of either can just take up space after month after month and sometimes can be poorly curated (and with supplements, sometimes poorly regulated as well).

That's what makes Gainz Box a standout. This veteran-owned business keeps its primary focus on delivering the best-curated items to its subscribers, rather than simply churning out box after box of filler. Arriving once every 3 months, each box boasts a $280-plus value, featuring carefully selected healthy snacks, supplements, equipment, and attire ideal for an active lifestyle.

Best for Coffee Lovers

Many of us feel like we can't live without our coffee. It's an essential part of our morning routine. But unfortunately, being part of that morning routine often means it's the same cup of coffee every single time, often some sad store-bought grounds or some hastily poured cup from a nearby chain cafe.

Break up that routine and liven up their mornings with the rich, whole bean brew of Blue Bottle Coffee. Offering a rotating selection every month, Blue Bottle Coffee offers a wide variety of beans with distinctive flavors that will remind the recipient that coffee is meant to be savored. from the first sip

Best for Wine Connoisseurs

The allure of wine has been a fascination of mankind since its earliest days. After all, when the Greek poet Homer talked of water in his foundational Illiad, he described it as a “wine-dark sea.” This is, of course, to say that in the millennia since, the craft of winemaking has grown and evolved across cultures and continents, with new innovations in cultivation, fermentation, and curation constantly arising.

So whether the wine-loving man you know has only sipped one brand of Chardonnay in their day, or they wax poetic about their summer in the vineyards of Tuscany, there's still a whole wide world of wine out there to try. Thankfully, Winc is there to help add a few more stamps to the passport of their palette. We can tell you firsthand that Winc is well worth the investment, and the fella you're shopping for will surely agree.

Best for the Spirit Sippers

There are plenty of subscription services for those who make a habit of craft beers or wines. But for those who favor the stronger stuff, the perfect solution is Flaviar. A Flaviar membership doesn't just mean a box of premium spirits arriving on your doorstep, though every quarter brings members a tasting box and a full-sized bottle of their choosing. It also offers virtual tastings and informational content, live and virtual meet-ups, and a community of fellow spirit enthusiasts with whom to compare and contrast tasing observations with to better understand the flavors.

Best for the Dedicated Dad

You know who this is for. That guy you know who, when he found out he was going to be a father, made a commitment in that moment. That he wasn’t merely going to help raise a child; he was going to “dad” the absolute heck out of being a dad. This is the man who read all the parenting books, who insisted on building a swing set with his bare hands (and, let’s face it, bought the materials and then sorta forgot about it).

Lend this driven dad a helping hand with the adorable Rad Dad Essentials Box. These monthly boxes contain four or five items perfect for Dad and kid, including hygiene products, toys, a storybook, and often even a snack for Dad. Because once that kid starts walking, Dad is going to need all the energy he can get.

Best for the Dog Dad

Let's face it, the gruffest guy you know still turns into a big old mush where his dog is concerned. If the man you're shopping for is a dog dad, know that the best gift you can give is to help him spoil that pup (especially if it has a tendency to tear through toys in a matter of weeks).

Barkbox is a fun way to constantly refresh a pup’s supply of toys and treats, with monthly themed boxes that range from “Australian Outbark” and “Night at the Squeakeasy” to licensed themes from popular films like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Best for the Man Who Loves Mysteries

Does the guy you’re shopping for have a love for games? Have you ever found him stumped by the Sunday crossword puzzle? Or was he the one always pushing for “escape room” when you’d try and plan a night out?

Add an extra little mystery to his months with the Finders Seekers — Mystery Game. Each month your recipient will receive a carefully constructed mystery game themed to a different city — and its many provided clues are all themed to that location's history and culture. They can solve the puzzle on their own, with family and friends on a game night, or even interact with fellow Finders Seekers players in an online community if they find themselves stumped.

Best for Collectors

Comic book collecting has taken on many forms over the last few decades, from tiny conventions where fans simply tried to find some missing issues to our modern age where most people read the latest issues on apps, and the brightly costumed heroes make more money on the silver screen than they ever had on the page.

Still, there’s nothing quite like the feel of some 60-pound matte paper with a stapled spine. If you know a comic book fan who would love to relive the joy of their old neighborhood comic shop, when it was as much about finding something new as it was following your favorite stories, then a box like the Comic Garage Super Box is a great way to help expand their collection. Just let the team know their preferred publisher (Marvel, DC, or a mix), and some of their favorite characters, and they’ll tailor a box to those tastes, including books from across the decades. It’s a great way to help someone find some stray single issues they may be missing and maybe discover some new titles too.
