10 Best Subscription Boxes for Men

The definitive gift on Christmas, Birthdays and just about every other special occasion, socks are as default a present as the Lynx Body Spray Set – in fact, we can’t even remember the last time we had to walk into a shop to buy a pair.

But hey, at least socks still have class.

So rather than spoiling someone rotten with a nice pair on one day of the year, why not spread that special sock feeling throughout the seasons, with this premium luxury sock subscription from Henry J Socks!

Vivid, brightly coloured and boasting some rather posh patterns, our friend Henry J isn’t ashamed of being flamboyant when it comes to feet sheaths and he wouldn’t be seen dead in a white or black trainer sock.

Delivered through the letterbox once a month, these 80% soft cotton socks are unlikely to ever go missing in your sock drawer and for gentlemen who prefer to make their fashion statements below the ankles, they’re a fun and funky subscription choice that stand out from the crowd.

Ever since rotund adonis Paul Hollywood graced our screens with his silver hair and baker’s hands, everyone and their nan have been taking up baking.

A three-month baking subscription, this service from Honeywell Biscuit Co. sends an array of dry ingredients to your home each month to help you make delicious fresh bread!

Not all of us are blessed with the creativity and flair of your Hestons, Gordons and Jamies, which always makes meal planning a long and laborious process.

But not only do you have to come up with a speedy, tasty recipe to feed your family, you then also have to buy all the ingredients… and then cook it.

As far as we’re concerned though, there are only so many hours in the day.

With Mindful Chef though, you won’t have to wait around for divine meal inspiration or shoot off to the shops every night to stock up on missing ingredients, as it’s designed to make meal times a breeze.

Subscribers simply choose from a rotating list of 20 outstandingly healthy recipes, all gluten and dairy-free, with vegan options available. You’re then sent a weekly box of all the ingredients you need, plus helpful how-to cards for up to 5 recipes, meaning your week’s meals planning is all but sorted!

What we particularly love about Mindful Chef is that there are also no contracts and you can cancel the service at any time, with nominated delivery services ensuring you’re always in and your schedule is never affected.

The drink of hard-boiled detectives and suave, sophisticated men who’ve seen it all, spirits are seen to be the premium standard in alcoholic beverages, each with their own fiery burn and unique flavour that puts every other kind of booze to shame.

These are drinks to be tasted and sipped rather than mindlessly guzzled and boast a long and dedicated process before they hit the bottle. As a result, the world is now filled with spirit connoisseurs and collectors of the finest aged bottles available. 

If you’re such a person, then a membership with spirit maker Flaviar is a phenomenal way to expand your whiskey collection and expertise, as it gives you access to rare and mysterious bottles you won’t find anywhere else!

Every 3 months, members of Flaviar receive a full bottle of a specially selected spirit, along with three small tasting vials of the newest and most exciting names in the distillery world. They’ll also gain access to free live tasting sessions and 50% of all orders from Flaviar’s online shop.

Oh yes, this is a subscription for those that enjoy the finer things in life.

Staying stylish and on-trend is difficult when you haven’t got a clue what the latest trends actually are, but bagging yourself a personal stylist these days is a lot easier than hunting down Gok Wan.

Not quite a subscription service, Stitch Fix is an online personal clothing stylist which makes clothing suggestions for you based on your current tastes.

You are then sent all of these suggestions via delivery, where you can then try them on, only paying for the gear you decide you want to keep! You’re also able to redeem your styling fee against any of the clothes – meaning you’re essentially getting money off some fantastic brands, including the likes of Calvin Klein and Jack Wolfskin.

With plenty of sizes available, this is a brilliant style guru designed to solve all your woes in the wardrobe department and unlike a subscription, you can have new ideas and fittings sent to you as frequently as you like!

We love the idea of a book club, and in particular the notion of being sent something you’ve never heard of; discovering a fantastic and life-affirming novel you would have never chosen for yourself.

It’s a shame then that real-life book clubs often come with tedious post-reading discussions with book snobs like Alan and Jean, who like discussing the underlying themes of the narrative and the author’s ingenious allegory of 20th-century Russian politics.

And you thought it was just a nice story about some pigs on a farm.

Thankfully though, there are ways to get the book club experience without all the pretentious after waffle, with this wonderful book subscription from Willoughby Books being one of them.

A bespoke book subscription service, recipients are sent a beautifully gift-wrapped novel to their address every month, with each read being personally tailored to their own unique tastes, whether that be classics, bestsellers, crime or romance!

It’s an exciting way to discover new and interesting books and for every subscription sold, Willoughby Books will donate a book to the Book Aid International charity, helping to spread the joy of reading far and wide!
