Subscription boxes have skyrocketed in the last few years as a great way to get anything from snacks, clothes and everything in between. It's the convenience of having a box shipped straight to your door with whatever you want inside every month. For men who hate taking those trips to the store, subscription box services are worth a try. Here is a roundup of five subscription boxes for the everyday man's needs.
Birchbox was initially known for the success of its box of women's beauty products. A few years later, the Birchbox team launched Birchbox Men. The resulting product is a subscription sample box catered to men's skincare products. Each month the box features four sample grooming products and one full-sized product. From shaving products and face washes to socks and boxers, the $20 a month subscription is perfect for the modern, well-kept man.
Another winner for the dapper gentlemen is the Gentleman's Box. For $25 a month this box of essentials for the modern man can include the current issue of GQ Magazine, a tie, a pair of socks and more. Each month has a different theme, such as November 2015's The "Traveling Gentleman" Box, which featured a pair of Happy Socks Striped Socks, a Woodchuck USA Wooden Luggage Tag, a Kiko Leather Passport Holder, an eBarbershop Pocket Comb, the November issue of GQ Magazine, Jack Black Shave Lather and a bottle of English Laundry Signature fragrance.
For the busy man who needs help with his style, Trunk Club is a monthly personal stylist subscription. Trunk Club will set you up with a personal stylist to help pick out clothing according to your personal style and size, then send a preview of your monthly box selections. When you receive the box, you'll have 10 days to try everything on and decide what to keep and what to send back. There is no cost for the subscription. You only pay for the pieces you decide to keep.
The active man should check out Cairn, a subscription box full of items for outdoor life. For $25 a month, you'll receive four to six sample items of cool gear, clothing, snacks and skin care that will enhance your next outdoor adventure. Bug spray, phone power packs, hand warmers and snacks are among the items you can expect from a Cairn subscription box. If you refer your friends and leave feedback on the products, you can receive points and get a free Cairn hat, shirt or a free month's subscription.
For the nerdy man in everyone's life, Loot Crate is the solution. This subscription features geek-related items for anime lovers, Star Wars fans, Marvel fanatics, comic book fans and gamers. There are up to eight different "crates" to subscribe to such as "LootGaming" for the gamers, "LootAnime" for the manga readers, and even special collector's crate subscriptions such as Halo and Firefly. Pricing ranges from $20 a month for the original Loot Crate box up to $50 for the Loot Crate DX box, full of higher end geek gear.
