There's a subscription box for almost anything these days. Now, women can get their favorite products on-demand and delivered to their doorstep each month. Whether you need makeup, skincare products, clothing, or even a week's worth of meals, subscription boxes have you covered. But, since the market's so flooded with subscription boxes for women it can feel challenging to find the right box for your needs. So, we decided to help! Below are the 24 best subscription boxes for women according to our expertise, personal experience, and input from our readers.
Our Favorite Subscription Boxes for Women in 2024
First, we'll start with our top 10 favorite subscription boxes for women in 2024. Then, we'll share additional options for the following categories: fashion, beauty, home and hobbies, food and drinks.
1. Stitch Fix
Best Clothing Box for Women
Image from Brandi's June 2020 Stitch Fix Review.
Subscription Box Details
Several of our reviewers have tried out Stitch Fix for recurring reviews, so we've got plenty of history with this iconic brand. If you're unfamiliar with this styling service, there are a few things you should know about how it works. Start by completing a style quiz, wait for your assigned stylist to send your curated box, try out everything (5 items) within 3 days, and then keep the items you can't let go of. While you have to pay a $20 styling fee for each box, you can apply it towards the cost of any items you keep.
Nicole Rieder is among our reviewers who have gotten plenty of "Fixes" over the last few years. When asked to share what it's like to work with her own personal stylist she commented "My stylist, Jami, truly takes to heart what might appeal to me in each and every selection. I always can see her efforts; she frequently includes pieces from my bookmarks to ensure I get a Fix with me in mind.".
In her June 2020 review, Brandi Dowell received a stunning Kaela Faux Wrap Knit Dress by Kaileigh. She shared, "It is so soft and comfortable and I love the wrap style top (where was this when I was still nursing my babies?), but my favorite feature is the fluttery sleeves! It's really subtle, but it gives this cute feminine look to the dress that I love.".
Between their budget-friendly styles, incredible customer service, and options for the whole family (2T+), it's easy to see why we love this clothing subscription service. And if you're worried that their low prices may reflect lower-quality clothing, don't be. Sitch Fix delivers today's top brands that hold up for what seems like a lifetime. Every item is carefully chosen and super comfortable.

2. IPSY Glam Bag
Best Beauty Box for Women
Image from Becca's April 2024 Glam Bag Review.
Subscription Box Details
It's hard not to love IPSY's OG beauty box. For one, it's a total steal - $14 per box is unheard of these days. Two, it delivers 5 deluxe samples. And three, everything comes in the cutest little makeup bag you've ever seen. We love that each curation includes a mix of makeup and skincare products sourced from emerging brands plus today's top names. We've reviewed Glam Bag nearly 200 times at MSA which shows just how much our reviewers adore this subscription service. Naomi Pandolfi and Becca Peterson are both covering this box currently and have had tons of good things to say about their experience so far.
Here's what Naomi had to say about her February 2024 beauty bag, "This was an awesome month for Glam Bag! The Byroe serum was the highlight for me. I’ve always loved the brand, and this serum does an excellent job of revitalizing skin. I’ll be using this down to the very last drop. Ren Clean Skincare’s glow tonic is a similar product but one that’s a bit more potent; it does a fine job exfoliating, but it really shines in the way it brightens and tightens the skin. I can always use a travel-sized setting spray, and this one has come just in time. The spray sets makeup for the long haul without any smudging whatsoever. The highlighter from KVOSSNYC is another hit with me. It’s buildable, smooth, and leaves behind a stunning shimmer that looks great with or without makeup. Love the natural glow of this product... Overall, I thought this was a great bag! The product variability is great, geared more towards skin care rather than makeup (my preference), and the value is there.".
Similarly, Becca raved about everything she received for her April 2024 review. "I was a subscriber to Ipsy when it was a relatively new subscription and I have to say, their bags have come a long way since the beginning! This month's style is my absolute favorite with the light blue stripes and peach lining. Not only is the design adorably chic, but the zipper pull is literally a fuzzy peach. Does it get any cuter?!...The mix of prestige skincare, haircare, and makeup products was well rounded out, and at a great price. My favorite items were definitely the eyeshadow palette and mascara, but I really enjoyed using everything. For $14, you seriously can't go wrong!".

Best Curated Boxes for Women
Image from Becca's Fall 2022 FabFitFun Review.
Subscription Box Details
FabFitFun lets you build your own lifestyle box every season. You'll handpick 6 items from a curated selection of beauty and self-care products, clothing, accessories, and fitness goods. Alternatively, you can shop their online store and score insane discounts - we're talking up to 70% off! FabFitFun has undergone some major changes over the last few years, but we love that they're offering customers greater control over their shopping experience. We're actually dropping a new review of FabFitFun in the next few days, so be on the lookout! In the meantime, we figured we'd share a bit about Becca's experience with this box back in 2022.
She racked up on travel-themed goods with their Fall 2022 box and shared how she saved tons of money on popular items. "This month my box was really curated with travel on the brain, and I found everything to be quite useful. Truthfully, I find all retail values extremely inflated, so I quite honestly would not (and could not) afford to pay the $314.95 retail cost of this box. Being that you are receiving that value for $54.99 total (or $9.17 per item) makes me feel like I'm getting a really great deal and allows me to take chances on items I may not have the ability to try otherwise.".
But don't just take it from our reviewer, here's what Anna, one of our readers, had to say about her Summer 2022 box, "I went all out with this box. I got the bralette, the Society 6 blanket, the green neoprene bag, the KP scrub, the necklace, acai face scrub,poolside pouch, the desk mat, puzzle books, and the toner. I was so happy to have all the throwbacks. I didn’t choose them last year because I didn’t need them, but now that I have a pool and lake in my community they are perfect. This was such a great box.".

4. Universal Yums
Best Snack Box for Women
Image from Becca's May 2023 "Taiwan" Universal Yums Review.
Subscription Box Details
Can't put down the snacks? We can't either! But no basic snack will do, our taste buds specifically crave the cream of the crop. And the only box out there that hits the spot every time is Universal Yums. This monthly snack box delivers an unforgettable experience that mixes the fun of food, travel, and learning all in one place. You’ll discover Earth's hidden gems when it comes to snacks and candy - think Egg Yolk Popcorn from Taiwan or Cookie Dough Truffles from Sweden. We think it's super cool that each box comes with 12+ page booklet that includes the history of each snack, trivia, and games. And while you can't repeat or choose a specific country, you can always visit their online store to add in your favorite items from past boxes.
If you've been with us for the last few years, then you've probably read several of Becca's Universal Yums reviews. Her latest box (March 2024 Review) was from Ukraine and came with snacks like homemade bread chips, sponge cake, crostata, wafer rolls, and chocolate bars. Here's what she had to say about her favorite item from this box (Choco Shocks), "If you have read any of my reviews, you'll know that wafer snacks are my favorite. This particular version is chocolatey and filled with cookies and cream. Crunchy, light, and delicious, this wafer is fantastic. With four squares of easy to break pieces, this bar is slightly similar to a Ferrero Rocher but with a cookie flavoring. My kids absolutely loved this chocolate bar, as did my husband and I. We have already added a few of these in our Yum cart.".

Best Quarterly Box for Luxury Goods
Image from Christen's Summer 2023 Margot Elena Review.
Subscription Box Details
If you really want to pamper yourself, then consider subscribing to this deluxe quarterly box. While our reviewers tend to prefer monthly boxes, we promise Margot Elena is worth the wait. This seasonal beauty box is all about indulging in luxuries - think designer fragrances, replenishing self-care products, and beauty essentials. You'll encounter the latest releases from brands like Lollia, TokyoMilk, and Archive.
Our team has reviewed Margot Elena for the last several years, with Christen being our most recent reviewer. Her Spring 2024 box had a retail value of over $200 and came with TokyoMilk hand creme, shea butter soap, a scented candle, perfume, bath salts, shower gel, lip butter, and greeting cards. Here's what she had to say about her experience, "The typical Margot Elena Box includes about 8 items, making for a full and good-smelling delivery. Spring 2024, however, included 10 items (that's counting the 3 cards as one)! It was a jam-packed shipment this time around, with a varied spread of products that have almost all been put to use immediately under my roof...I loved everything about the Spring 2024 box! It had something from every category, a surprising home item, and so many light and bright scents to help me ring in Spring.".

Best Flower Subscription for Women
Image from April 2018 Review.
Subscription Box Details
There's nothing quite like introducing a fresh new bouquet to your home. Floral arrangements add a touch of elegance to any space and can easily brighten up a dull room. Whether you need seasonal arrangements or tried and true classics, Bouqs is the place to go. We love that you can customize your order for each delivery and set a delivery frequency that works best for your schedule. And we can't forget to mention that their flowers stay fresher for longer since they're directly sourced from the farm.
Emily Cosnotti reviewed Bouqs a while back and received some gorgeous bouquets throughout her recurring review series. Her favorite delivery by far was the Deluxe Poetic Bouquet which came with roses, hydrangea, and eucalyptus. "The roses add value and color to the bouquet and I am always happy to see eucalyptus as it's one of my husband's favorite scents! The colors are muted and classic and I will be proud to display these on my dining room table. My flowers arrived in great condition except for a few of the eucalyptus leaves. An arrangement like this would make a nice Mother's Day gift... For me, there is value in the convenience of having these flowers delivered, and I don't mind arranging them myself, plus I appreciate knowing more about the farm they came from. If the delight of a surprise bouquet and convenience of home delivery are pluses for you, I'd recommend trying this service.".

7. Trade Coffee
Best Coffee Subscription for Women
Image from Trade Coffee 2022 Review.
Subscription Box Details
Searching for the one? It can be tough considering all the fish in the sea, but luckily Trade Coffee is the ultimate matchmaker when it comes to finding the perfect coffee. Even casual coffee drinkers turn into coffee lovers after using this service. When signing up you'll choose whether you want to try hot or cold coffee and then share your drink preferences (i.e. caff vs. decaf, milk or no milk, etc.). Trade Coffee will then analyze your answers, select the top picks throughout the U.S., and then introduce you to the brew that'll make you say I do!
Christen had the privilege of trying out both versions of coffee from Trade Coffee. Did she meet her match both times?
Round 1 - Hot Coffee: "Trade absolutely nailed it with my first bag of coffee. I am so pleased. This Doma Guatemala Huehuetenango is accented with hints of milk chocolate, lime, and molasses; it's called "dessert-like" in its description. But, honestly, I didn't pick up on any of that. All my radar screen was saying was, this is a damn fine cup of coffee.".
Round 2 - Cold Brew: "I give Trade cold brew one million thumbs up. For some, maybe making cold brew feels like a natural thing to try at home. For me—perhaps since I only recently became a real-deal coffee drinker—I never imagined I'd be drinking the best cold brew I've ever tasted from my own kitchen, in my own glass, made by me. It is truly a high-quality, happy-making experience. Hands down will make again!".

Best Wine Subscription Box for Women
Image from February 2023 VineOh! Review.
Subscription Box Details
VineOh! isn't just a wine subscription service - it's a full-on spa day in a box. While wine's always the best part, it sure doesn't hurt to have other self-care goodies like bath salts, loungewear, and decadent treats. Choose exactly which types of wine you want, or go with cocktails for a change. You can mix up your seasonal box as you see fit and you'll also get to enjoy access to their add-on store.
Taryn received one bottle of red wine and one bottle of white wine for her review. The 2018 Loverly California Red Blend was "very bold with strong berry flavors mixed with hints of oak and coffee to really round this blend out" and the 2020 Wicked Bliss California Chardonnay was "slightly dry while still having that cool freshness that only a white wine can give you". In addition to wine, Taryn also enjoyed receiving a stackable bracelet set, facial wipes, caramel pieces, a tumbler, and a foldable backpack.

Filled to the brim with products that promote mindfulness, beauty, and well-being, this box delivers an invitation to pause from life's chaos and treat yourself to some much-deserved TLC. All products are naturally derived and are sourced from mission-led, cruelty-free companies.
Samantha Sendor tried out TheraBox for the first time last year and shared, "it's a really nice box to gift oneself or a close friend each month. If not for the activity inclusion and waterdrops, it would feel more like a clean beauty box to me...The items included were of high quality and clearly thoughtfully selected. To be precise, the value of all the contents in this box is $188.98. For a $39.99 box, that's a lot of value packed in, coming in at 21% of the price.".

Rocksbox has all types of jewelry in stock like earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings which are available in a wide range of materials including gold, sterling silver, semi-precious stones, and more.
Mary loved what she received in her March box. "Warm weather is just around the corner, and I'm going to celebrate by renting some of Rocksbox's latest and greatest designs! Since I took a trip down to Miami and Key West, I rented pieces I felt would work well with my dresses and exude a little bit of a beachy vibe too...It was a fun month for jewelry rentals, and I got to explore styles and designs I wouldn't have considered before. After all, that's what rentals are all about!"

Fashion Subscription Boxes For Women
11. Rent the Runway
Best Clothing Rental Service for Designer Brands
Image from Mary's April 2024 review.
Subscription Box Details
Most clothing subscription services do a stellar job of delivering a curated assortment of everyday wear and business casual attire. But when it comes to delivering the perfect looks for high-profile events, weddings, and end-of-year parties? They fall flat on their face. Rent the Runway, however, has you covered.
RTR is best known for offering one-off rentals that'll have you looking like a million bucks in no time. What's more? You’ll get a free backup size in every order in case things go awry. In addition to their event rentals, Rent the Runway also offers a standard rental service that lets you try out between 5-20 items per month. Their 10 and 20-item plans grant you full access to RTR's closet which features over 10,000 styles and items that are worth up to $3,000 apiece.
In her most recent review of Rent the Runway, Mary Zubritsky had this to say about the V-Neck Cami Dress she received "It's elegant, sophisticated and impeccably made. The material is thick, so you don't have to worry about lumps or bumps, and the fabric is surprisingly on the heavier side and really sturdy. Such a great piece by Adam Lippes!". It was perfect for the children's non-profit fundraiser she attended and went incredibly well with her Ferragamo sandals, Devi Kroell Python clutch, and Vince Leather jacket. And if you're curious to see some more laid-back styles from RTR, give Mary's July 2023 review a read. It features looks like a Paco Rabanne Floral Ruched Mini Dress and a Sachin & Babi Maura Dress that were made for the summer.

12. Armoire
Best Clothing Rental Service for Endless Options
Image from Mary's April 2023 review.
Subscription Box Details
Let's say the usual 5-7 pieces per month isn't enough for you. You're the type of woman who's committed to participating in, and in many cases leading, dozens of events within literal weeks. Corporate retreats, round table discussions, milestone celebrations, fundraisers - you name it! There's no way you'd be caught dead wearing the same outfit twice in a row.
If that's the case, Armoire is for you. This upscale clothing rental service lets you have your own curated closet full of items from brands like Joie, Brass, and Yumi Kim. We're a huge fan of their Unlimited Plan that gives you, you guessed it, unlimited swaps all month long. You can even adjust your subscription tier to make your plan work better for your budget in case you have a month that's not to hectic.
We're totally in love with all the statement pieces that Mary's tried in her Armoire reviews. But can we all take a moment to appreciate just how gorgeous that Yumi Kim metallic floral dress is on her from her April 2023 review? She rocked this look on her Nashville trip by pairing her dress with nude nylons, platform pumps, and a vintage Chanel bag.
Oh, and have you noticed that Armoire has retained a 5-star rating among our readers and staff? Now that's impressive!

13. Nuuly
Best Clothing Box for Trendy Brands
Image from the August 2022 review.
Subscription Box Details
If you love brands like Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters and also want a full say over what you get, then Nuuly is the place to go. Every month you'll select the 6 items that your wardrobe needs the most. You'll have an entire month to try out everything and decide whether you want to swap your items or buy them. If you're confident in your ability to style yourself and don't need extra guidance, then this service will be a better fit than others on our list. Like our reader Ruchee Patel mentioned in her customer review, Nuuly delivers up to a $1,000 value each month which is insane given that's 10X the fee.
Christen received a chic Alice McCall Mysteria Ruffled Midi Dress that she wore to a wedding back in 2022. She shared the following about her experience, "I was really happy with my wedding guest dress try-on extravaganza with nuuly. In the end I chose a dress that was less of a reach for me than I expected, but I'm pleased with my decision, knowing I'll feel confident in what I'm wearing. I'm also curious to fill up a future nuuly order with trendy clothes I can wear for day-to-day. It'll be a fun way to participate in trends without having to commit to a size I'm not sure will fit me long-term."

14. Gwynnie Bee
Best Plus-Size Clothing Box for Women
Image from Nicole's August 2022 review.
Subscription Box Details
Gwynnie Bee is a standout when it comes to being a size-inclusive rental service. We love that they offer options for sizes 0-32 and that you can rent up to 10 items each time. Plus, there are no due dates for returns - I think that's pretty wild.
Nicole has taken on plenty of reviews for Gwynnie Bee for us. And while I think it's hard to choose a favorite look on her, I especially love the Mint Green Geo Print Dress by Maggy London she sported back in the August 2022 review. "I love this retro mod geometric print on this dress. No shock to me that this is by Maggy London aka the Donna Morgan company... They all have nice prints, the fabric has loads of stretch, and they have a great vintage-inspired style. This dress is no exception to that rule. This is an ideal dress you could wear to the office and out with friends after."
Our reader Meghan shared how she uses Gwynnie Bee to keep her closet fresh, "I get sick of clothes quickly, so it's more cost-effective for me to do this than to constantly buy new clothes. I have 7 items at a time, and I figure it's the cost of buying 1 or 2 items each month, or a whole bunch of cheaper items. It actually saves me money in the long run. While there are occasionally some misses that I send back right away, there are enough hits that it's totally worth it.".

15. Adore Me
Best Lingerie Subscription Box
Image provided by Adore Me.
Subscription Box Details
You can't forget about the spicier pieces in your wardrobe! And that's where Adore Me shines. They'll let you try all sorts of lingerie, activewear, sleepwear, and even swimwear. Each box comes with 4-7 styles, but you'll only have to keep what you can't live without.
Megan Kirkland reviewed Adore Me for an entire year and shared the following about her May 2022 set, "Adore Me went above and beyond with this piece. Seriously, it looks so special and expensive. And I feel great in it! This is the sort of piece I would recommend for anyone, but especially for someone who doesn't think they can rock a bodysuit. You absolutely can! And you should. The styling of this one is going to flatter everything just right. ".
While we know that Megan totally rocked her new sets, she's extremely modest and wanted to reserve these looks for home - not the public eye. So, Adore Me provided us with the above image of Kiana Florentino modeling her gorgeous icy push-up bra and underwear set.

Beauty Subscription Boxes For Women

Best Editor Curated Beauty Box
Image from our July 2023 Review.

We love that Allure Beauty Box is carefully crafted by its editors. Their team delivers a mix of cosmetics and skincare products sourced from today's top names - think Sunday Riley, Rare Beauty, Tarte, Christopher Robin, etc. You'll get at least 6 products each time, 3 of which are guaranteed to be full-size. And you'll also gain access to their members-only store where you can score up to 80% off on luxury products and limited edition boxes.
Paige Bennett tried out Allure for the first time ever this January and had to say the following about her experience: "This is my first time subscribing to the Allure Beauty Box, as I am now taking over reviews for this box from a fellow MSA reviewer, Jessica Hapak. I was honestly pretty impressed right off the bat, as I opened my box and found several full-size products to kick off my subscription...I’ve already found a holy-grail sunscreen to kick off the year, and I’m ready to add some of the additional products, like the Eva NYC deep conditioner and the RoC Skincare serum capsules, to my beauty routine. There were one or two items I’d skip for myself in the future, but I still had fun trying everything out. On the whole, I was definitely pleased with the value and variety of products.".

17. Boxycharm
Best Beauty Box for Full-Sized Products
Image from our December 2023 Review.
Subscription Box Details
Meet the middle sister of the IPSY beauty box series, BoxyCharm. She's an upgrade from the standard IPSY Glam Bag and is best known for delivering 5 full-size products that are worth a total value of $200+. You always get to handpick 3 of your items and your membership unlocks 24/7 access to IPSY's members-only store. While Glam Bag is typically a hit among teens, BoxyCharm always seems to be the preferred option for college-age women and above due to its versatility.
Taryn Lowman picked up her recurring review series of Boxycharm last summer and has received quite a diverse selection of beauty products since. One of her favorite boxes so far was the January 2024 box which came with Rodial XXL Mascara, feel Squalane Facial Oil, REALHER Probiotic Setting Spray, GLOW RECIPE Niacinamide Sunscreen, and HALF CAKED Lip Duo. Here's her final verdict: "This BoxyCharm by Ipsy was filled with essentials that I'm reaching for every day! The mascara goes on like a dream, leaving me clump free and curled. The sunscreen works to hydrate and leave my skin glowing while protecting my skin from the sun year round, something that is really important to me. Honestly, I cannot say enough about the setting spray, it literally gives me a dewy glow all day. The facial oil feels great on my skin and is hopefully reducing fine lines and wrinkles quickly. While I didn't love the lipgloss duo, my daughter is obsessed with it!".

18. Cocotique
Best Black-Owned Beauty Box
Image from our April 2024 Review.
Subscription Box Details
Cocotique is evolving to become a one-stop beauty and wellness destination for premium indie, black-owned, and woman-owned makeup brands. Its beauty boxes include a versatile assortment of makeup, hair care, skincare, and more. Cocotique also operates a social responsibility program that highlights a different woman every month; the goal is to support women, promote self-care, and encourage people to “pay it forward.”
Naomi Pandolfi received the Essential Spring Beauty Rituals-themed box by Cocotique in April. It included the following items: REVEALU Gold Face and Body Gel Moisturizer, REVEALU Glow Face and Body Exfoliator, KREIZI BEAUTY Liquid Eyeliner Pen, PALMER’S Amino Bonding Complex Hair Oil, PH-D FEMININE HEALTH Women’s Health Probiotic, and DAILY CONCEPTS Makeup Remover Pads. Her final verdict was that "This was a great month for Cocotique! The highlight for me was definitely the surprise of not one but two RevealU products (moisturizer and exfoliator), both of which have become an important step in my skincare routine. Palmer’s hair oil is something I’ll be using on a daily basis, and it does an excellent job of smoothing down any frizz without weighing down my curls. The reusable makeup remover pads from Daily Concepts is another win, especially when it comes to travel. All-in-one sustainability and functionality".

19. Bespoke Post
Best Lifestyle Box with Small Business Goods
Image from our November 2022 Bespoke Post Review.
Subscription Box Details
Bespoke Post is known for its high-quality home and tech offerings. The curated items have that “where’d you get it?” factor that we love in a monthly subscription. Subscribers can choose from a variety of box options, select optional add-ons, or skip the month altogether. Past deliveries have included items such as cutting-edge earbuds and speakers, pocket knives, plants, fragrances, and more.
One of the coolest curated sets I've seen was the Caprese collection that Brandi received back in November 2022. She unboxed a mozzarella cheese-making set, a cherry tomato seed starter kit, a basil grow kit, and garlic basil sea salt. She commented "I love that eventually, I will have all of the fresh ingredients necessary to make a tasty Caprese! I also can't wait to try my hand at cheese-making now that I have everything I need.".

Image from our January 2021 BOTM review.
Subscription Box Details
The BOTM team selects five new hardcover books for subscribers to choose from. You pick which title you’d like to receive on the first of the month, or you can let Book of the Month choose for you. If you’re not ready for a new title yet, you can choose to skip the month. This service if for anyone who's a serious reader and wants to receive some of the best and newest books out there. You can browse each month’s selections before you sign up, which include new and early releases.
Jeanne Sager took on a recurring review series of BOTM and has racked up quite a collection of reads that have kept her on the edge of her seat. In March she received Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera and shared the following: "Tintera chose to tackle one of the meatiest topics in the zeitgeist in true crime podcasts, and she does so masterfully, carefully balancing her prose so you finish the book not quite sure where she lands on the format. Meanwhile she weaves a tale that offers a sobering look at the way society treats the opinions of men vs. those of women and a hilarious novelization of our obsession with true crime podcasting. Listen to the Lie was that sort of un-put-downable novel I finished in a day, and not simply for the laughs (although there were plenty). I just had to know where Tintera would take the mystery next.".

Image from our April 2023 review.
Subscription Box Details
Norlii is a bi-monthly home decor subscription box that features Scandinavian accents and accessories.

All items are designed to bring nature into the home, with attention to the Scandinavian concept of hygge (home decor that invites feelings of contentment).
Jeanne Sager has reviewed Norlii on several occasions and especially loved the items she received for her April 2023 review. "This time around, the items were all focused around bringing nature inside with warm oaken items and some florals...The oil and vinegar bottles included in this month's box are truly beautiful — delicate blown glass with round oak stoppers that add a bit of sophistication to their look. I have to admit that they're so pretty I almost don't want to put actual oil and vinegar in them and sully the look!".

22. HelloFresh
Best Food Subscription Box
Image from our 2023 HelloFresh review.
Subscription Box Details
HelloFresh offers a fun way to try out new recipes each week that even the pickiest of eaters will love. While there is a bit of cooking involved, you don't need to be a seasoned chef to enjoy this service. Plenty of moms report using HelloFresh as a way to bond with their family members throughout the week.
A few years ago we selected a handful of readers from our online community to help us test out HelloFresh. Jordan, one of our testers, shared "The food was awesome!! I thoroughly enjoyed all three meals and would totally order them again. On a side note, I’m definitely going to keep the recipes so that I can recreate them soon! The One-Pot Longhorn Turkey and Bean Chili was hands down my favorite meal. Super easy, extremely tasty, and quick! As a graduate student, I don’t have a ton of time after work and school and this was amazing.".
Olivia was also handpicked for this task and provided her own pros and cons of this meal service: "Major pro is its overall convenience. I’m someone who loves cooking, but none of the prep. Basically I’m a lazy cook. I hate meal planning, grocery shopping, gathering ingredients from the cabinet/pantry/fridge/etc, and measuring out ingredients. I also love how it introduces my family to new cuisines we would have never tried otherwise. Con would be the price. While the value is there, especially for discovering new meals, it can be pricey for a larger family".

Best Coffee Subscription Box

Subscription Box Details
Atlas Coffee Club is a coffee subscription service that connects you with specialty-grade coffees from across the globe. Beans are roasted to order, and they ship directly to your door. Coffee from all over the world is featured, and every coffee is packaged in bright, graphic packaging inspired by the featured country's landscape and textiles.
As Lindsey mentioned in her review, "Single-origin coffee grown on high-quality micro-lots are their bread and butter". She got to try Colombian La Plata coffee which featured lightly roasted beans and specially brewed it in her porcelain coffee dripper. The result? " This is the best coffee I've had in months. Frankly, it has just about everything I look for in a great cup: it's smooth, subtly complex, a little bright, and just plain delicious. I savored this coffee. Really, I loved it... From the perfectly roasted beans to the beautiful packaging, I found the entire experience delightful. Better yet, I feel good about this company. I like that Atlas pays above market rate for beans in an effort to support farmers and create a sustainable supply chain.".

24. Atlas Tea Club
Best Tea Subscription Box
Image from our August 2021 Atlas Tea Club Review.
Subscription Box Details
Atlas Tea Club is a tea-of-the-month club that helps subscribers taste their way through the world of premium loose-leaf teas. Each shipment spotlights two teas from a different region of the world, so it's like exploring the world one sip of tea at a time. You'll also learn about different types of tea, the farms where they're grown, and the people who make them. And as an added bonus there are also compostable tea filters thrown in along with tasting notes and steeping tips.
Lindsey Morse opened up about her experience with Atlas Tea Club, "I've been writing food and wine reviews for My Subscription Addiction since 2014, and I've reviewed quite a few different tea subscriptions in my day. I'm a big fan of loose-leaf tea, and I used to own my own coffee shop and bakery. Even though we specialized in coffee, we took tea very seriously, and I was proud to stock a wide selection of premium loose-leaf teas from around the world...Atlas Tea Club delighted my senses and introduced me to some new teas that I'll seek out again. The freshness was incredible, the taste was exceptional, and the aroma divine. I would happily pay out of pocket for an ongoing subscription, and I know at least two family members who will be getting a gift subscription for Christmas this year.".
