It's not just meal prep - subscription boxes come in all sorts of crazy fun options.


As a savvy shopper always on the lookout for the perfect gift, I’ve discovered the wonderful world of subscription boxes. These carefully curated packages have revolutionized the way we give presents, offering a delightful and personalized experience for both the giver and the recipient. So, listen up, I’m sharing my insights on why subscription boxes have become my go-to choice for gifting!

The Convenience Factor

One of the biggest advantages of subscription boxes is their convenience. With just a few clicks, you can have a thoughtfully selected assortment of items delivered straight to your loved one’s doorstep. No more wandering aimlessly through crowded stores or spending hours browsing online for the perfect gift. Subscription boxes take the hassle out of gift-giving, allowing you to sit back and relax while the experts do the work for you.

Personalization at Its Finest

What sets subscription boxes apart from traditional gifts is their ability to be tailored to the recipient’s interests and preferences. Whether your friend is a beauty enthusiast, a foodie, or a book lover, there’s a subscription box out there that caters to their specific tastes. By choosing a box that aligns with their passions, you’re showing that you truly understand and appreciate what makes them unique. It’s a level of personalization that generic gifts simply can’t match.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Another reason I love gifting subscription boxes is that they provide an ongoing experience rather than a one-time present. Each month, your loved one will receive a new box filled with surprises, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement. It’s like giving multiple gifts throughout the year, reminding the recipient of your thoughtfulness every time a new box arrives. This recurring joy strengthens your connection and shows that you care about their happiness beyond just a single occasion.

Supporting Small Businesses

Many subscription boxes feature products from small businesses and artisans, giving them a platform to showcase their unique creations. By gifting these boxes, you’re not only delighting your loved ones but also supporting entrepreneurship and helping these small businesses thrive. It’s a win-win situation that allows you to make a positive impact while giving a memorable gift. That’s primarily the focus of the boxes on this list, in fact!

While certainly niche, these bizarre subscription boxes show there’s truly something for everyone. Whether your passions include bones, cryptids, cats, cannabis, chickens, or preparing for the collapse of civilization, some creative entrepreneur has curated the perfect monthly delivery to satisfy your eccentric tastes. Treat yourself or gift a subscription to a quirky friend – there’s a weird and wonderful box out there for every kind of oddball.

So, the next time you’re searching for the perfect gift, consider a subscription box and watch your loved one’s face light up with joy month after month!
