Promising review: "ShaggySwag was a pleasant surprise. We have received subscription boxes from a lot of different companies and I have to say ShaggySwag was the most thoughtful with their presentation and curation. It really is the perfect amount of treats, toys and has a few other things I did not even know I needed like poop bags and really strong and good smelling wipes. My dog gets super pumped when the box arrives too so its fun to surprise him when it arrives and he tears right into it. Keep up the good work and you have a customer for life!" —Anonymous

Promising review: "After searching quite extensively to find an appropriate gift for my husband's birthday (who became a father this year to our beautiful baby boy), I found The Rad Dad Box and was sold. What a perfect idea! A heartfelt blend of things for dad, baby, and the two to share together. I subscribed to the deluxe option (absolutely worth it!) and my husband was so touched by the idea, and loves the special gifts each month that add to the bonding time with our son. Not to mention that all the items are very unique— and nothing we've ever seen on the shelves before. Additionally, in a time where customer service is nearly obsolete (and online service practically nil), you're dealing with a family who take the time to email you personally, get some basic details on your child (to help ensure a fitting box!) and check in to make sure you're satisfied. Absolutely fantastic!" —Arie

Get it from Cratejoy for $22/month for a standard box or $38/month for a deluxe box.

12. Merkaela, a box filled with holistic health and wellness products to help you clear your mind and find your center.

Merkaela

What you'll get: Four to six items, including bath salts, handmade soap, body butter, loose-leaf teas, and more. Subscriptions available in basic and vegan.

Promising review: "Never in my life did I think that someone would actually take the time, care, and love to create truly inspiring and uplifting products that aim to feed the mind, body, and soul. The humans behind Merkaela must be martians that were dropped off on earth to create real magic. This is BY FAR, my all-time, #1 favorite box and gift I have ever received in my life. I'm so grateful, and would recommend this box x1 million." —Nicole

Get it from Cratejoy for $32/quarter for an "essential" box or $60/quarter for a "deluxe" box.

Hiker Crate

What you'll get: Two to three items to assist you during hikes and three to six healthy snacks (trail bars, trail mixes, jerky, dehydrated meals, etc.).

Promising review: "Hiker Crate is, in my opinion, the cream of the crop. I've never looked forward to a subscription box as much. I'm an avid outdoorsman, hiker, camper, backpacker, and fisherman, and I find myself using everything in its entirety in each months' box, from the snacks to the meals to the outdoor gear. All of it thus far, after four or five months, has been just stellar! The snacks and meals are delicious, high-quality, and properly sourced, and the outdoor gear that I've been gifted have been perfect for my lifestyle and have been of supreme quality." —Nicholas

Promising review: "I got my first box last month. It's amazing! It had produce bags, really cool bamboo straws, pens and pencils and everything I need to send postcards about causes I care about. I love that I can do this with my family and teach them that change is possible and that it starts in our own home. I had all the neighborhood kids come over and write postcards. Not only did they participate, but they learned about the effects of having plastic in our national parks. This crate is fun and makes me feel good about myself." —Amber

Promising review: "Just received my box early, and I really dig it! I've been a writer for a decade, and this box has everything I'd want to stay motivated and improve my work. I'm excited about the chat with the publishing 'special guest' that'll happen next month, and the writing gifts were awesome too! Fantastic box for seasoned authors with multiple published books, and writers just starting out." —Robert

16. SnackSack, a box bursting with healthy snacks (choose from classic, gluten-free, and vegan subscriptions) based on seasonal themes.

SnackSack

What you'll get: Between 12 and 15 snacks from various brands in each box.

Promising review: "I started off shopping for holiday gifts when I stumbled upon this and obviously had to treat myself. I was anxiously awaiting my first shipment and tonight all my hopes came true. My box was STUFFED with snacks and they were all healthy and varied from salty to crunchy to sweet. Perfect for a junk-free pick-me-up, or for a high protein snack for a hike. Quite a few were snacks I have seen at the store and wanted to try but were too expensive for individual retail. I'm so excited to try them all and see what's next in store!" —Taylor

What you'll get: All of the ingredients to make four servings of a cocktail, curated by award-winning mixologists; you can choose a subscription option with or without alcohol included.

Promising review: "My ex-boyfriend was a bartender and I loved having random drinks made — but when we broke up I realized I probably won't use the ingredients for most of the weird drinks. That's why I love this box! It comes with everything I need to make the drinks (including alcohol so I can try new types without being worried I'll have to eventually finish it). These boxes also make great gifts — I just gave my most recent one to my dad for Father's Day because I forgot to get him a gift and it happened to come in the mail. He was ecstatic! The alcohol included definitely makes this box worth it!" —Maura

Promising review: "I have left a review before, but I just have to say that I am so impressed with Simplicity Teas. Their customer service is fast and helpful (I had a question about when a gift would ship). The flavors are amazing, unique and you can tell they are really high quality. I upgraded to the Teas Lover package because the mini (the one with two teas per month) just wasn't enough for me — With the upgrade you get three to four larger flavors each month and its SO WORTH IT!" —Carolyn

NomNomNow

What you'll get: The choice of either four type of meals for your dog or two for your cat, all cooked with real, whole-food ingredients and portioned specifically for your pet's activity level and weight goals. When I started feeding my dog NomNomNow, he was a bit underweight because he was extremely picky, and it was tough to find food he'd want to scarf down in one sitting. I'd never seen him inhale food the way he did when I opened up his first pack of this stuff, and he quickly made it to his goal weight and has maintained it!

Read our full review of it here.

There's no time limit! Once you're ready, return as many items as you want — you can return one of 'em or all of 'em — and then you'll be able to rent another piece with each once you send back. Shipping is included, and everything you need to ship your items back comes neatly packed in the garment bag they send to you.

Read our full review of this game-changing subscription here.

Promising review: "Admittedly, I'm new to the raw foods movement, but am intrigued. Looking for a way to learn more, a friend suggested that I join a box subscription service to get my feet wet. I received my first RawBox a couple of weeks ago, and had so much fun looking through and sampling the contents. There were a few treats I loved (hello raw macaroons!), and others that I may well seek out in the store to add to my weekly snack routine. I recommend giving RawBox a try — a great way to learn about products you likely didn't know existed that may become new faves. Yay!" —Amy

Promising review: "I've been a subscriber to Comma for two years and it has slowly replaced many essentials in my wardrobe. Thrifting is a guilty pleasure of mine but it is very time-consuming, and I often don't know what I'm looking for or even looking at. Comma finds some real gems and provides a history for each item included in the box. The addition of vintage playing cards, pins, tie clips etc. adds to the fun. Really unique and valuable subscription!" —Michael

There were four total standard and unique flavors in our box, such as Angus and sweet (berry) chipotle, and they were all delicious. It's definitely worth getting a box to try out!" —Melissa

Get it from Cratejoy for $15+/month.

29. Or, a mouthwatering alternative for non-meat-eaters, the Louisville Vegan Jerky of the Month Club (seriously, this jerky is freakin' delicious).

Louisville Vegan Jerky of the Month Club
