Subscription Boxes for men can be the solution to all your gift-giving problems. These 15 boxes prove that there is a subscription box your man will love.
Men can often be notoriously difficult to buy for, but why is that?
Well….coming from a man, here are 4 reasons why Will thinks men are hard to buy for sometimes.
- Many men often just don’t discuss their likes, wants, or needs as openly as women do, so you are left clueless or in the dark about what they actually enjoy.
- Most men don’t accessorize as much as women do when it comes to jewelry, etc.
- A lot of men are quite picky (even though they wouldn’t admit it) about what style of wallet they use, what type of watch they wear, what kind of clothes they like, etc.
- Let’s be honest…Men like their toys, so when a man wants something, he usually just goes out and buys it himself. As such, he already has everything you would have bought him.
Obviously these are generalization and don’t apply to every man, but plenty of man would agree (if they are willing to admit it). So, you are often left to rack your brain to come up with something or just end up buying the same thing again…which isn’t always a bad thing if it’s something he really likes.
However, Will and I think we have found a solution that will help alleviate your pain and satisfy even the most the difficult and stubborn man to shop for.
15 Subscription Boxes for Men
Subscription boxes for men! What is a subscription box you may ask? Well, it’s a box full of your man’s favorite things that he receives every month, every other month, or some other period of time.
So not only is he getting something he enjoys, he gets it throughout the year, so it’s the gift that keeps on giving. There is pretty much a subscription box for any interest, and we think it’s the answer to all your shopping problems! 😁
Ok, maybe not all of them, but here are some awesome ideas to fit almost every interest. There are a few subscription boxes your man will love.
1. Clothes
A lot of men don’t like buying clothes for themselves or don’t really know what to buy. That’s why services like Trunk Club and Stitch Fix work so well. Your man selects what he likes and dislikes or what he would wear and not wear, and a personal stylist picks choices for him. He can keep what he likes or send it all back and ask for other items. Will has used both Trunk Club and Stitch Fix for Men and really liked them; though, Stitch Fix edged out Trunk Club a little for him..
2. Underclothes
Will’s favorite is MeUndies that sends a new pair each month. You can be as basic or as adventures as you want with classic colors or fun prints. Or you can try Basic Man or Underwear Expert? Your man chooses his style and colors, and they send him a pair or two on whatever frequency he chooses. This way, he’s not wearing the same “holely” underwear until they fall apart.
Sock Fancy is another service that can be fun, especially for the guy who likes a fun pair of socks to wear to work or out on the town.
3. Shaving
Will has used Dollar Shave Club for years and has always liked their products. He mainly uses their razors since he uses shave soap but they have a wide variety of products that can delivered straight to your man each month or every other month.
4. Facial Hair
If your man doesn’t shave but instead enjoys sporting some kind of facial hair, then the Beard Care Club or Beardsanity or the Beard Club would be a good fit. Your man gets quality, natural beard grooming products sent right to his door to keep that facial hair nice and soft for you.
5. Skincare
A lot of men don’t always take care of their skin they way they should to protect it. Recently, there as been an increase in natural skincare options for men. They are specifically geared towards men’s needs, likes, etc. Some of them like Luxe and Fresche have boxes that are delivered every month. Others like the BeautyCounter Men’s Collection (Will’s favorite) are ordered when needed.
6. Meat
What man wouldn’t like a box of meat delivered to this door? Butcher box or Farm Foods can both make that happen grass-fed steaks, beef, pork, etc.
7. Grill
If you man is the master of the grill in the house, then why encourage him to cook a little more often with the Grill Masters club or BBQ Box. They will send him the best grilling and BBQing products right to his grill.
8. Jerky
To continue with the meat theme, beef jerky is a popular snack for many men. It’s good for on the job, in the deer stand, or where ever. LOLJerky or Carnivore Club can provide your man with some variety and unique flavors.
9. Coffee
If you man can’t survive without his morning cup of Joe, there are a variety of subscription boxes for every taste like Bean box or Trade Coffee. These boxes will deliver freshly roasted premium beans from a variety of growers to your doorstep each month
10. Outdoors
For the outdoorsmen, Battle Box or Club Tac would be excellent choices. These boxes deliver survival and tactile gear so that you man can survive the zombie apocalypse.
11. Fitness
For the guy who likes to hit the gym, run, or just stay fit, GainzBox or Half It provide the gear to make reaching his fitness a reality.
12. Sports
Sports is always a hit with many men, so Fan Chest and Mully Box are sure to please. In each box, guys get an assortment of fan merchandise for their favorite team.
13. Comics or Geek
Many a guy have collected comics over the years, so if your man is still into comics, Comic Garage and Super Hero Graphic Novels should be at the top of his list. They’ll get premium comics delivered straight to their door and each month will have something to read and collect.
If your man is a self-proclaimed geek, then look no further. Both Super Hero Crate and Geek Gear Store will gift them what they need to indulge their geekdom and how show off their interests in TV, movies, and books.
14. Minifigs
Minifigures are a hot, fun item for many guys to collect. There are the official Lego brand with Minifig Monthly or Lego compatible with Minifig Box. Whatever their interest, they can find minifigures to match.
15. Nostalgic
For those guys that want a little nostalgia, the Cassette Club and Vinyl Record Club can provide just that. Each month he will receive a cassette tape or record to take him back to the good old days.
Something for Everyone
Subscription boxes for men can help you find something he would really enjoy.

I love Dollar Shave Club and personally have a subscription for myself! The razors are much better quality than typical women’s razors, and I get a really close and smooth shave. Great post, I didn’t even know many of the other subscription boxes existed!

I have never considered a subscription box but now that this article is here, I will get one on grilling for my husband.
