Let’s look at some of the year’s finest subscription box options so you aren’t left handing your valentine a tired, old “classic” gift on February 14.
Top Subscription Boxes for Men
Men are notoriously difficult to shop for. A subscription box offers a bit of niche-y variety to guarantee he has a few choices. (It’s the spice of life, after all.) Here are a few of my favorite subscription boxes for the man in your life.Tuner Box
What’s in the box? This automotive subscription box is a great gift idea for any gearhead or car enthusiast. Tuner Box packages include everything from branded clothing and hats to car cleaning products and unique collectibles. Month-to-month boxes cost about $55, and you can choose the best “style,” or box theme, for your Valentine, including “Muscle,” “Euro” and “JDM.”Bespoke Post
What’s in the box? Bespoke Post creates unique themed boxes full of unique products specifically catered to unique men. Contents examples include grooming kits, survival and camping gear, leather belts and other male-centric items. Boxes can be skipped and products can be swapped out every month, and pricing starts at $45/month. Gift cards are also available if you’d like to give a more impersonal gift on Valentine’s Day.Loot Crate™
What’s in the box? The folks over at Loot Crate™ live the nerd-life—and they live it to the fullest. That makes them the perfect people to build subscription boxes for nerdy guys. You can choose between a standard “Pop Culture Crate,” “Film + TV Crate,” “Gaming Crate” or comic book-themed crates. Boyfriend into sci-fi? Husband a Marvel superfan? Whatever he’s into, Loot Crate™ has a geeky subscription box for him. Crates range from $13 to $60, and gifting them is as easy as cake.SprezzaBox
What’s in the box? Each SprezzaBox is expertly curated with stylish clothes, classic accessories and cool products for “the modern man.” Typical items include socks, neckties, pocket squares, cufflinks, and other manly stuff. Subscription boxes can be gifted for $20 per month.ButcherBox
What’s in the box? Meat—loads of meat. Every month, ButcherBox sends members an insulated package of frozen beef, chicken, pork and/or fish. Beef is 100% grass-fed. Chicken is free-range organic. Pork is “heritage” breed. Fish is fish. If your man is a certified carnivore, this is the subscription box gift to buy. Pricing starts at less than $5.00 per meal, or $150 per month.Top Subscription Boxes for Women

What’s in the box? Women, men, children—books are great gifts for anyone. The Book of the Month subscription box gives those great gifts out every month.
