Top 3 Subscription Boxes of 2021

If you’ve ever subscribed to a subscription box, you likely are a fan of discovery. But not every subscription box is created equal. Some feel special, curated and personal while others feel like a random assortment of free promotion samples thrown into a box.

I started doing some research and tried out many of the most popular subscription boxes on my own. The result? A slimmed-down list of the three best subscription boxes I’ve tried based on the experience they offer. I promise you will not be disappointed nor will the person you may gift a subscription to. 

Subscription boxes are the gifts that keep on giving after all!

Check out my three special picks for 2021 below.

The Farmers Finds

An amazing “Find”

I was recently on the hunt for a new subscription box to give as a gift and came across this subscription box that supports farmers market founders. It is called The Farmers Finds. It might just be the best gift idea I’ve seen in a while and a great way to try new products while supporting small local businesses. 

Here is a little more about it: 

The Farmers Finds - get finds from farmers markets across the US delivered to your door for $20 per month (including shipping!). You get one find per month from a unique, small batch brand. It could be from Santa Fe, San Diego, Austin. Atlantic City or Portland and the list goes on. The best part besides getting access to products you would not be able to get unless you visit that city, is that you are supporting someone’s passion and a small business, which today, is harder than ever to get started. In your monthly The Farmers Finds box, you will receive a find from one featured brand and a story card that launches a video straight from the founder. Their stories are amazing. Makes a great gift for the foodie and farmers market lovers in your life or just someone who loves discovering new brands with a story to tell.

Makes an amazing gift for yourself or someone else!

Home Chef

For those who are sick of having the conversation at around 5PM every night, “What do you want for dinner?”, subscription meal boxes are for you. However, there is one that, for me, is above the rest. My family has been using Home Chef for almost a year and we have never been happier. We’ve tried others and Home Chef delivers for so many reasons. First and foremost, taste! Who cares how easy the prep is if the meal taste terrible. Home Chef delivers flavor. And it is super easy to prep. We left our teenage son home for the week with Home Chef and he was able to make the meals quickly and easily. Love the recipes and the overall variety. I would definitely recommend this. Especially love the sauces.

GQ Best Stuff

I ordered this for my husband for Christmas maybe two years ago and he just loves it. When his box arrives, we literally have an unboxing and he get excited. Mostly because men don’t always get the unboxing thrills that we ladies do (we just order more!) and also because the “stuff” in the GQ Best Stuff box is actually good and quality. There is always a lot of variety. Everything from soaps to sunglasses, to socks, eye cream, personal wipes and cologne. My husband always feels like he has gotten value. He also feels super on trend when the brands he is reading about on menswear and male lifestyle blogs end up in his box, almost as if on schedule. They even offer the opportunity to try products that they will send to you that don’t fit in the box or that the vendor would rather fulfill directly. This is a great way to give a gift if the item does not suit you. Overall, never have had a bad experience with this box and highly recommend.
