Unique Subscription Boxes
Thereโs no question that subscription boxes are having their day. They provide an easy and convenient way to buy someone a gift, without ever leaving the house.
Since 2014, visits to subscription company websites have grown by 890%. The most popular categories? Beauty, apparel and food.
Some of the most popular subscriptions boxes include:
Ipsy, which sends five personalized makeup products
Blue Apron, a food-company that sends chef-designed meal kits. New Blue Apron customers get $130 off across 6 orders. Plus, your first order ships free!
Stitch Fix, which has clothing stylists putting together boxes of womenโs clothes, menโs clothes and childrenโs clothes.
However, Stitch Fix is not a subscription box. In fact, it is an online styling service. Nonetheless, it gets lumped into this category by so many.
Iโve covered lots of different kinds of subscription boxes on this blog. Plus, Iโve used many of them in real lifeโand still do.
Finally, subscription boxes make great last minute gifts.

Customers can get pretty much anything they want delivered by the month. This ranges from gluten-free jerky to an Escape Room in a box.
In fact, thanks to Stacker.com, I got the intell on some of the most unique subscription boxes around from Cratejoy and beyond.
House of Rituals subscription box
The House of Rituals Box by Tamed Wild is a unique, fun option for the modern Wiccan in need of supplies for rituals, spells, prayers or intentions. Each month, youโll get a box of candles, incense, crystals and other โold world tools.โ
For instance, each of these subscription boxes comes with a parchment keepsake page. This encourages subscribers to add to their grimoireโa book of magic spellsโor book of shadows.
DoggieLawn
Talk about a unique subscription box: DoggieLawn will ship busy dog owners a fresh patch of grass for their pooch to use as a potty.
Interestingly, subscribers can pick a โlawnโ size for small, medium and extra-largeโor multipleโdogs. You can also buy DoggieLawn on Amazon.
Cryptid Crate
Sign up for Cryptid Crate through Cratejoy to get a monthly box filled with cryptozoology. What is cryptozoology?
Cryptozoology is the study of creatures that may or may not exist. On the one hand, itโs all about Yeti, BigFoot, etc. On the other hand, this unique subscription box also covers paranormal themes.
Unique Succulent Box
Know someone who would love to have plants at home but has a brown thumb? In other words, do they kill anything green they bring home?
Well, this unique subscription box is perfect. Called the Succulent Box by House Plant Box, it delivers a new succulent plant each month.
Best of all, these are hardy plants that provide a dose of greenery. In other words, they donโt need a lot of care. So, theyโre perfect for people who tend to forget to water their plants.
Skulls Unlimited Bonebox
This monthly box of bones literally includes a box of bones. So, it is something relating to an animalโs skeleton.
In fact, bone collectors can get professionally cleaned natural animal bones. How are they prepared? Using dermestid beetles.
Past boxes have included skulls, teeth, baculum claws and other skeletal remains. However, due to wildlife export restrictions, the Bonebox is only available to the lower 48 states, Alaska and Hawaii.
Ratty Box
Youโre probably familiar with dog subscription boxes like BarkBox. However, dogs arenโt the only pets that can get monthly treats and toys.
If you keep rats as your furry friendsโor know someone who doesโthen youโll want to check out Ratty Box. Basicaly, it delivers yummy rat treats and toys monthly.
Gluten-free Jerky Box
Part of the Jerky of the Month subscription box company, those needing to eat gluten-free can indulge, too. That is, this unique subscription box delivers jerky made without gluten.
In addition, youโll find a coupon on the Cratejoy site to save money on your order. Finally, you can subscribe for up to 12-months of gluten-free jerky snack goodness.
Slime subscription box
My first exposure to slime was on the Kids Choice Awards on the Nickelodeon Channel. However, perhaps youโre an OG slime lover or know someone who is.
Now slime-lovers can join the subscription game with the Sliime subscription box on Cratejoy. In fact, these monthly boxes includes slime itself. Plus, youโll get slime-themed items as well as candy.
Cat Lady Box
There is no shortage of subscription boxes for cat owners. However the Crazy Cat Lady Box takes the cat subscription box to another level.
One, the Cat Lady Box sends two to three cat-themed items for cat owners. This includes clothing, jewelry or home decor.
And, two, your kitty gets a surprise, too. Plus, the folks behind the Cat Lady Box support good causes that help cats in need.
You can sign up for the Cat Lady Box on Cratejoy. Finally, you can find a bunch of cat subscription boxes on Amazon, too.
Vegan snack subscription box
With SnackSack Vegan, youโre gettting a plant-based monthly discovery box that delivers nothing but unique and delicious vegan snacking. Each box comes with about a dozen different vegan snacks.
On Cratejoy, you can subscribe to the SnackSack Vegan snack box for one month, three months, six months or a year.
Tea Subscription Box
As a coffee drinker myself, I donโt quite get the appeal of tea. However, devout tea aficionados are sure to flip over the Sips By Box tea subscription.
The Sips by Box is a multi-brand, personalized tea subscription box. Each month, they match tea drinkers across the U.S. with delicious teas from over 150 global tea brands.
Youโll get four premium teas in each box. Thatโs enough to brew more than a dozen cups of tea.
Lego Subscription Box
Kids and adults alike love Lego bricks. Therefore, Iโm confident theyโll love this Lego subscription box called Brick Loot.
Hereโs some of what youโll get in each Brick Loot box:
- Four to eight Items each month
- Brick Loot Exclusives in each box
