Promising review: “I love these boxes! A great introduction to new crafts. I did the soap making and the resin clock. The soap making was so much fun and I can't wait to make more! The best part is the box is a great way to introduce you to a craft. The resin clock making had me watching videos on YouTube on ways to make it a little better now that I know the basics. If I had not received this box, I would never have looked into making resin clocks. Can't wait for my next box! ” —Cariann B.

Price: $36 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “Just do it! I enjoy plants and gardening, so I figured I’d give this box a try and OMG YES! I get so excited every month for my new plant and I’ve even gotten my husband into it. I didn’t even get to open my last box he opened and set it up before I got home. It’s a great way to expand your plant collection and learn about new plants. Comes with everything you need packed nicely with a simple care guide. Will definitely be renewing!” —Stephanie

Price: $60 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “A box for geeks! As a comic collector and reader I've seen a few of these boxes but never ordered. I read a few reviews and saw the description and decided to give it a try. What I like is that the box is catered to you, which means you aren't stuck with a bunch of comics you won't read. I was still skeptical until the box arrived and then I was impressed. The comics are in great shape and were the characters I had picked so they fit right into my collection.

These are comics you're not only going to read but bag and board as well. There a lot of recent comics but it wasn't a deal breaker by any means. If you're new to comics or a collector this a great box to subscribe to and I can't wait to see what arrives next month. What surprised me the most was that I have over three thousand comics and I don't own any of the comics that came in my box.” —Michael N.

Price: $27.99 per box (available for three age ranges and in two box types; also available in a 3-month subscription)

Promising review: “Absolutely amazing! I am obsessed with these boxes. I'm a veterinarian and my husband and I are super big science buffs. Every single box has had things in it that I've never heard of or never seen in real life. I learn something new every single month. I've recommended this to soooo many people! Anyone interested in science at all should seriously sign up for this! ” —Sam F.

Price: $44.95 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “Amazing and fun box! I've had a Therabox membership for two months and I love it! I love getting surprises every month and the items are thoughtful and useful. I rarely wear makeup, but I like facial products, candles, and feel the items support my fun and relaxed lifestyle I'm working to achieve. Box is definitely worth the value I pay each month, and I'll probably share a few items with friends, as I may not be able to use all the items before they'd expire.” —UrbanFlea

Price: $39.99 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Side note: Starling House, seen in the sample box here, is great. 10/10, highly recommend.

Promising review: “Spine-chilling experience! I absolutely love my Deadly Delights Book Box! Each month, I’m thrilled with the selection of spine-chilling thrillers and true crime stories that keep me on the edge of my seat. The curation is spot on, and I appreciate the thoughtful, high-quality extras that are always included — like the cozy socks and chilling bookmarks. As someone who devours crime fiction, this box delivers exactly what I’m looking for. It’s a perfect gift for any book lover who enjoys a good mystery or thriller. I can’t wait for my next box to arrive!” —Katy

Promising review: “100 % perfect for lady campers! Got this as a gift and every single box has been filled with unique and very useful items. From beanie caps to bathing wipes, I've loved it all. Some items are gear-based, like flashlights and flint/tinder packs. Some items are more personal, like hand creams and candle. They fit easily into my camping box. Everything is designed for backpacking, too. Light and small!” —Lory G.

Price: $41.95 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “Pleasantly surprised! I just received my first introduction box, and I couldn't be happier. My gnome is adorable, and all the little extras included in the box just made this box special.

I have had many subscription boxes, and this is one of the few where I was actually as excited after opening it as I was waiting for it to arrive. Usually, I have a little bit of buyer's remorse but not with this box.

It is a box that I feel confident recommending to someone else. I understand most items were only for the initial welcome box, but I still can't wait for my next gnome.” —Sonja

Price: $40 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “Great box! I got this box for my 10-year-old daughter. I was worried that she would get items that were geared towards younger kids, but she insisted on this box. She's been really happy with the two boxes that she's received. She even got fidgets that she doesn't have already. Which is saying a lot because my daughter asks for fidgets for every occasion. I never had an issue with shipping or receiving this box like I have with another box. Overall, a great experience.” —Jennifer

I received zines that ranged from short illustrated stories to ‘How to Sleep’ to short comics and to longer illustrated stories. If you enjoy creative stories, then you’ll love this!” —Juliana J.

Promising review: “Beautiful quality papers! I've been receiving these kits for three years. Each collection contains twelve double-sided color-coordinated designer papers, and a coordinating sticker sheet. There is a challenge presented online each month... a great way to get inspiration from fellow crafters. The Design Team members also post sample layouts on the Facebook page, providing even more ideas to help create beautiful layouts.” —Nancy

Promising review: “SO MUCH FUN!!! I was gifted the Crumble Crate subscription in the summer of last year and have absolutely loved it. I've been able to learn so many new baking techniques and have loved all the additional baking tools that I didn't have before! I save every recipe card and have been able to enjoy them over and over again — my family has been begging for me to make the lemon poppy seed cake again, one of our favorites!” —Emily

Price: $49 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “I holler with joy every time I open this! When they say assortment, they mean it! Holy cow, I have gotten such a random selection of awesome tunes and comedy albums and a luau?!

Each vegan, 100% natural wax candle burns for about 25 hours.

Promising review: “Vellabox is a must!! The Lucerna Vellabox is the perfect little monthly treat! Each month I receive a new scent matched to the season and my scent preferences! The 4-oz candle is great for sampling an artisan. When I find a scent I really like, I will repurchase it on the Vellabox site in a larger size! A few of my girlfriends and I subscribe to the box and we always compare scents when our boxes arrive! Such a fun way to stay in touch!” —Melina T.

Price: $18 per box (available in six scent profiles; also available in 6- and 12-month subscriptions)

Each box includes a full-sized perfume spray, a perfume oil roller, and two additional scented items like bath bombs, lip masks, or solid lotions.

Promising review: “My favorite!! Hands down THE BEST aroma-based box out there. And among ALL my subscription boxes (and I have many), this is one of the top few. Every box I've received has been top-quality and gift-worthy. The smells are exquisite and unique, multi-purpose, and varied. I get the box that has a roller, a spray, and another item(s). I use all of them throughout the month. The body spray and roller are great for my car or my desk or my purse or my gym bag. You will not find these fragrances at any store and you WILL get compliments! Just try and you will be hooked!” —Laura

Price: $34.99 per box (also available in 3- and 6-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “Knocked it out of the park! I just received my first box and am hopelessly enamored. The teacup is beautiful, the tea is delicious and off-the-beaten path, and the treats are simply divine. Shipping was fast. Packaging was sturdy and overall experience is 5 stars.” —Allyson H.

Price: $32 per box (also available in 3- and 6-months subscriptions)

Promising review: “Do it! I was searching for quick, healthy, international recipes to expand my family's dinner experience and found Spice Madam. This product brings me so much happiness each month.

The boxes are thoughtfully and tastefully designed and assembled — the recipes, the spices, the playlist, the packaging — all of it.

The recipes I have made are DELICIOUS, and the amount of each spice provided is generous.” —Mary C.

Price: $29.99 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Pro tip: Each mystery can be solved alone, but they’re more fun with more people — up to four, in this case — making this a perfect pick for someone who not only loves a good mystery, but also loves people.

Promising review: “My number one mystery box! I received my original DMS crate, ‘The Old and Hidden Secret,’ as a surprise gift several years ago when I was first exploring mystery boxes. Since then, I've tried many different boxes from other vendors but always find myself returning to DMS.

I’ve been subscribing to DMS for a little over two years and have also purchased several one-time boxes and downloads. I have yet to encounter one that I didn’t enjoy.

Recently, the boxes have become even more interactive, with additional online components and puzzles. I'm excited to see how this aspect evolves.

If you enjoy mystery boxes, I definitely recommend DMS as one of the best on the market. If you're still unsure, try purchasing an individual box to see for yourself.” —Simon W.

Price: $34.99 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “Awesome! Wonderful box! This is my first shipment, and includes a book (you pick the genre), scented candle, soap and bath salts, and a bookmark. I’m so excited to read my new book — I’m counting down the hours until I can log off from work.” —Pierina F.

Price: $60 per box (available with three beverage options and two bath options; s also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Promising review: “So much fun!!!! Wow! I love this box! I’m not much of a cocktail drinker but this really stepped me out of my comfort zone.

Price: $59 per box (also available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month subscriptions)

Everything they’ll need — meats, cheeses, accompaniments, and even instructions — will arrive right at their door, truly elevating their snacking. Delish.

Promising review: “I am still dreaming about the horseradish mustard in the first box. I loved the Perfect Bite, a pairing I wouldn't think to put together. The value of this box is unbeatable, it was a great snacking lunch for a few days after the initial board for two people! 12/10 recommend.” —Shannon R.
