Best Subscription Boxes by Person

1. BoxyCharm

Editor's Note: In February 2023, IPSY and BoxyCharm merged subscriptions (see our story here). Glam Bag Plus is now called BoxyCharm, and the drawstring bag has been removed to allow for better box choices.

BoxyCharm delivers 5 full-size beauty products each month from a variety of both indie and established brands, with a total retail value of up to $200 in every box. The beauty items featured vary from month to month and will include beauty tools as well as skincare and haircare items. Members get to handpick 3 items each month and also have the option to upgrade to Icon Box if they want more products that are curated by beauty’s biggest celebs.

2. Bespoke Post

Each month, Bespoke Post subscribers choose a themed box filled with unique hand-curated pieces. You'll receive lifestyle items, gadgets, home decor, and more. Every item is made from high-quality materials, with few of the “trinket"-type pieces you’d get from less expensive men’s subscription boxes. Their themed boxes are designed to introduce you to something new, which might mean a better way to shave, a trend-conscious take on barware, or even a new hobby. Past boxes have included themes like Energized (coffee bundle), Wabi Sabi (sushi set), and Scoops (ice cream).
