From craft beer to golf gear, there’s really no category of goods that you can’t get a monthly subscription for these days. Subscription boxes for men, in particular, are a great way to save time and money on practical staples, like razors, snacks and coffee, while others provide a fun way to expand someone’s horizons or further explore very specific interests. Whether you’re an aspiring sommelier, an ice fishing enthusiast or just a guy looking to grow a luscious beard, these boxes also make for great gifts. They’re a thoughtful birthday or anniversary present or just a nice way to surprise someone who’s really into leafy Monsteras plants.
Besides the convenience factor, subscription boxes deliver a bundle of goods expertly curated by people who share your passions (often at a handy discount). Below, the best subscriptions boxes for men on the market right now, organized by category. (And here’s where to look should you want to treat yourself or the women in your life).
Best Subscription Boxes For Men: Fashion And Apparel
Stitch Fix
Known for being extremely user-friendly, Stitch Fix’s subscription model is simple and streamlined. You pay a $20 styling fee upfront (which gets credited toward pieces you keep) and pick how much you want to spend going forward. Then, select your style and size, and a curated box will be delivered to your place, filled with clothes (sleek suits, casual jeans, on-trend jackets) and shoes for you to try. Keep the items you want and send back the stuff you don’t in the included prepaid return envelope. Stitch Fix also offers free shipping, returns and exchanges for customers to make everything easy.
Nordstrom Trunk Club
If you’re a fan of Nordstrom and enjoy shopping online, you’ll love Nordstrom Trunk Club. The subscription box service makes the process of finding stylish, upscale menswear easy. Just fill out a quiz about the type of clothes you like, and pay a $25 styling fee (it’ll be applied to any purchases you make later). From there, you can choose how often you want deliveries. Shipping is complimentary, and you can return or exchange anything you’re not into for free.
Best Subscription Boxes For Men: Outdoor Gear
Bespoke Post has subscription boxes for practically every hobby and interest, such as DIY alcohol distilling, outdoor gear, paella-making and grooming. Once you sign up, you'll get an email with a full look inside the monthly box, which is chosen based on your preferences. From there, you're free to tweak colors and sizes, add on extra goods or skip the box altogether at no cost (there’s also no-hassle returns).
Cairn
If you’re into camping it requires some serious gear. Cairn’s boxes contain a curated assortment of the newest outdoor products, such as Smartwool socks, Cotopaxi backpacks, Serac hammocks and Eagle Creek compression cubes. And it’s a pretty good deal with up to $50 off the retail value of each box.
Mystery Tackle Box
With three different plans priced at $20, $30 and $40 per month, and free shipping, Mystery Tackle Box offers anglers of any expertise a steady supply of fishing lures and tackle at a discount of up to 40%. Customize your box based on your chosen catch, with options that include bass, inshore saltwater fish, panfish and trout, walleye or a versatile multi-species offering. If you want to switch things up (e.g. try their seasonal ice fishing package), you can change your selection or pause or cancel your subscription at any time.
The Sill
A monthly subscription to The Sill’s artful plants is a low-maintenance gift that keeps giving and includes interesting varieties like Monsteras and Parlor Palms. Every month, you’ll receive a new plant and sleek ceramic planter. The Classic subscription ($50 month) is made for a new plant parent who wants to bring the outdoors in but isn’t a potting pro yet while the Pet-Friendly subscription ($55 a month) focuses on non-toxic plants, should you have a curious animal at home. Subscribers can skip a month or cancel anytime after the first 3 plant deliveries.
Best Subscription Boxes For Men: Accessories
Watch Gang
If you’re one of those people who think you can never have too many watches, Watch Gang gives you a regular fix. The process is pretty simple: Choose the style you prefer (like elegant, adventurous, expressive) and then Watch Gang will send a new watch to you each month. The whole concept is built on being surprised, but if you’re not into that, you can check out the company’s Wheel of Watches and Member Store to pick out a watch you’d like. A monthly subscription for watches valued at up to $150 is $50, but you can pay a little more per month if you want to snag more valuable models.
Sock Fancy
Sock Fancy is a monthly subscription service that delivers a variety of unique and quirky socks straight to your door. They’re designed by Sock Fancy’s in-house design team and are constructed of high quality, 200-thread count cotton. Pairs are chosen at random but if you don’t love the ones with you get, simply send them back and receive a brand new pair.
Best Subscription Boxes For Men: Food And Beverages
Winc
Winc uses a profile quiz to get a sense of your tastebuds and the type of wine you might like. It asks questions like how you like your coffee (if you like coffee at all), how adventurous an eater you are and whether you prefer citrusy or earthy flavors in your food.

Atlas Coffee (Or Tea) Club
Every two or four weeks, Atlas Coffee Club sends you a bag—or up to four—of single-origin coffee from a different country.

Sustainably sourced and ethically produced, each bag comes with brewing information and tasting notes about the coffee and the region from which it hails. Its sister company Atlas Tea Club offers the same experience for tea lovers.

Trade
Trade is a high-end coffee subscription service that highlights multiple boutique brands like Equator, Quills and Huck. When you sign up, you’ll be asked to take a quiz about your preferences.

Best Subscription Boxes For Men: Grooming And Personal Care
Dollar Shave Club
Dollar Shave Club has built up a reputation for making it cheap and easy to get a perfect shave. The company’s monthly subscription service provides a starter kit featuring your choice of blade, and then sends replacement cartridges in the subsequent months.

It’s a monthly subscription service that allows you to test out brand name colognes with a smaller size of a fragrance for $15 without committing to a full bottle. Once you join, you can pick from more than 150 different fragrances each month. Your scent will arrive in a travel-friendly spray bottle, and you’ll also get a reusable black bottle with your first order.
Boka
If you’re like most people, you probably swap out your toothbrush way less often then you should. But Boka takes care of it for you. The company kicks things off with a $29 oral care starter kit that includes a brush with Binchotan activated charcoal, which naturally reduces odor-causing bacteria, along with toothpaste and accessories. Every three months after that, they’ll ship replacement products with a free travel brush. Boka offers subscriptions for sonic electric brushes with replacement heads, too.
