The Most Popular Luxury Subscription Box
Image via our review.
The Cost: $59.99 per quarter + shipping. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: The Margot Elena Subscription Box is a subscription box from the female designer & team behind Lollia, TokyoMilk, and Library of Flowers. This one's all about pampering. You’ll receive fragrances, stationery, and a luxurious mix of body, beauty, and hair care products. All products are full-sized, and the elegant packaging gives you that “wow" factor as you open each delivery. While the Margot Elena Discovery Box doesn’t announce the contents of each box until it ships — hey, the surprise is part of the fun — you can check out past boxes on their site. They also post teasers on social media, so if you enjoy a bit of sleuthing, you’ll get a sense of what you’re getting.
Pros
- Awesome mix of perfume, bath, and beauty products
- $200 value per box
- Includes full-sized products from their best-sellers list
Cons
- Only quarterly boxes are available
Shipping: Ships to the contiguous U.S. for $6.95.
2. Beauty Heroes
The Best Subscription Box for Clean Beauty Products
Image via our review.
The Cost: $58.95 per month, or save with longer commitments. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: This skincare box goes for quality over quantity — you’ll only receive 2 beauty products per month. The price might seem a little steep at first, but if you’ve paid for premium skincare products, you know that they’re worth the investment. You can’t put a price on clear, healthy skin (and if you did, that price would be more than $58.95 per month).
Beauty Heroes curates life-changing products with non-toxic, clean ingredients. This high-end subscription box typically includes one larger “hero” product and one deluxe sample “sidekick” product. The company vets all of their brands carefully; products cannot include ingredients banned in Japan, Canada, the United States, or the European Union, and the Beauty Heroes site contains additional info about stuff that they won’t allow (parabens, animal-tested ingredients, non-biodegradable substances, and other harmful stuff).
Put simply, Beauty Heroes does the research to find the best skincare products in the world, then ships them to your door. If the monthly price tag is a bit high, you can save by signing up for a long-term subscription (the 12-month subscription, for instance, cuts the price-per-box down to $39.95).
Pros
- Non-toxic beauty products
- Most products are certified organic
- Each box valued at $120
Cons
- Only sends 2 products per month
Shipping: Ships worldwide. U.S. orders under $75 have a flat $5.95 shipping fee. Canadian orders under $75.00 have a flat $11.95 shipping fee. All other locations with orders under $200 have a flat $18.95 shipping fee.

Image via our review.
The Cost: $74.90 per box (bimonthly) + shipping. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: Does minimalist decor count as a luxury? It certainly does with Norlii Box, a bi-monthly subscription filled with Scandinavian home decor and accessories.
Scandinavian homemakers often embrace the concept of hygge, which balances form, function, and comfort. The goal is to bring a simple feel of coziness into each living space, and Norlii Box is one of the best ways to start bringing some hygge into your homestead.
You’ll find gorgeously designed dishware, kitchen tools, accents, and more. We’d recommend checking out our reviews (linked below) to see examples of previous boxes; Norlii offers a wonderful way to embrace minimalism, and it easily justifies its bi-monthly cost.

Image via our review.
The Cost: $159 per quarter. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: We’ll admit that we thought we’d have a robot maid by now. Hey, that’s what The Jetsons promised us.
While we’re waiting for the technology to catch up to our favorite cartoons, we’ll enjoy the high-value gadgets in the BREO BOX. This quarterly box focuses on tech, but there’s something for everybody: Each of the 5-8 items are useful, brand-name tools.
You’ll find everything from wireless earbuds and smart jump ropes to travel bidets and biometric padlocks. It’s stuff you never knew you needed, but once you’ve used it, you can’t live without it.
The curation follows a seasonal theme, and all of the items are “trending.” They’ve got that “where’d that come from?” factor that makes subscription boxes such a great addition to your life. Oh, and there are perks: Members earn rewards and have access to special discounts.

- Up to $300 value per box

The Cost: Plans start at $69 per month for 4 items after a trial month. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: Our readers absolutely love Armoire, a curated clothing rental service specializing in high-end styles.
When you sign up, you’ll take a quick style quiz. The site’s algorithm suggests apparel and personal stylists help to curate a collection that works for you — whether you’re into bold colors or minimalist patterns, you’ll find something that suits you. Select what you want, and Armoire delivers your clothing to your door. The algorithm learns over time, so the quality of the suggestions gradually improves. This rental service lets you wear items from top brands without spending a ton of money.
Armoire can change the way you dress, and it’s a great way to save closet space without sacrificing your personal style.

Image via our review.
The Cost: Starts at $94 per month for 5 items. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: The name says it all — Rent the Runway gives you access to high fashion on a rental basis. You’ll be able to dress like a celebrity without filling your closet (or emptying your wallet).
Whether you’re looking for a chic dress for a gala or everyday wear, Rent the Runway’s expansive selection allows you choose occasion-appropriate apparel and accessories from the comfort of your home. Items arrive in pristine condition — the service handles all the dry cleaning and removes damaged items from circulation — and you can return your rentals at any time to receive something new.
You’ll find brands like Kate Spade New York and Badgley Mischka alongside options from up-and-coming boutiques. Unlike many rental services, you can also pick up designer handbags, jewelry, and sunglasses.
Clothing rental subscriptions help you keep your budget while regularly refreshing your wardrobe. They’re also better for the environment, and Rent the Runway lets you explore new trends without a long-term commitment.

- Offers everything from everyday clothes to cocktail dresses

Image via our review.
The Cost: $49.99 per quarter. Subscribe here.
About the Subscription: FabFitFun is more expensive than your standard lifestyle membership, but you’ll get what you pay for.
Delivered quarterly, this box includes beauty supplies, lifestyle accessories, luxury skincare products, and much more. Each delivery has a retail value of $200 or more, and you’ll receive full-size products — no sample sizes here.
FabFitFun members have access to special discounts (up to 75% off retail), and many boxes have customization options. By logging into your account, you can choose from a selection of hand-picked products to make sure that you’re delighted with each delivery.
This is absolutely a high-end subscription box, but it offers remarkable value. Nothing beats a steady supply of useful, high-quality stuff, and FabFitFun delivers the goods.
Pros

9. CURATEUR
The Best Fashion Subscription Box by a Global Fashion Authority
Image from our review.
The Cost: $125 per quarter. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: What’s more luxurious than fresh, curated style? Not much, and that’s why our readers love CURATEUR. With a selection of premium beauty products and styling tools, this quarterly box offers a taste of the high life for a relatively low price.
So, what exactly do you get? The Spring Curation CURATEUR box featured a Jules Kae Zola bag, Vita Fede Cassio earrings, Hugh & Grace renewing night serum, and other high-end goodies. Members can regularly select from add-ons, and new members can get all of those optional gifts — CURATEUR estimates the value of their entry box at over $400. Given the per-box cost, this is a tremendous bargain (even if it is one of the more expensive lifestyle boxes we’ve found).
Pros
- Curated by celebrity stylist and designer Rachel Zoe
- Receive at least 5 “statement staples” per box
- Each box has a retail value of $400+
Cons
- Only quarterly subscription boxes are available
Shipping: Shipping is free to the U.S., and $25.00 to Canada, the U.K., and Australia.
10. Beachly
The Best Subscription Box for Beach Lovers
Image from our review.
The Cost: $99 per quarter + shipping. Subscribe here!
About the Subscription: You might not think of beach gear as luxurious, but if so, that’s because you haven’t checked out Beachly yet.
This luxury subscription box gives you everything you need to hit your favorite private beach (or, in our case, an overcrowded public beach) in style. Each quarter, Beachly sends out full-size beauty products, seasonally appropriate clothes, home decor, and accessories. Everything has a beach theme, but not the type of beach theme you’d see in your parents' bathroom — expect soft color palettes, high-quality materials, and chill vibes.
With selections from popular beachy brands like S’Well, Roxy, and Sunnylife, this box provides a relaxing taste of the oceanside. It’s one of our readers' favorite lifestyle boxes, and every purchase supports Heal the Bay, an ocean & watershed protection organization based in Los Angeles.
Pros
- A mix of apparel, jewelry, home decor, and much more
- Women’s Box and Men’s Box as well as a separate Beauty Box subscription
- Great way to prepare for the beach
Cons
- Not ideal for people who don't like the beach
Shipping: Ships to the U.S. for $4.95 and Canada for $11.95
