Best Subscription Gift Boxes For Dad

Fathers Day is on its way. Why not gift him a present he can enjoy all year? Or better yet, give him a gift that keeps on giving. Forget just a matching tie and socks this year.

Don’t even think about new tools. (although cookies for Father’s Day isn’t a bad idea!)

Get a dad subscription box that month after month features some of his most favorite things (or things he would couldn’t be bothered to get on his own, clothes.)

Gift a themed box filled with his favorite things, give Dad a new surprise each month. All of the kids can find their way here. Even for the Dad that has everything!

From food-packed boxes to boxes full of trendy tech tools there is a perfect subscription box for your dad.

How they Work?

Most, if not all subscription boxes require a short survey from the recipient. This survey gives the company a chance to better understand the lifestyle, needs, and likes, then sends a perfectly curated collection of items.

Some boxes you keep and pay for only items you like. While others send you full and sample size products where you keep all of the items. This is a great gift delivered right to their door at the frequency you choose.

Beer of the month club

For the dad that loves craft breweries (like my husband), consider getting him a Craft Beer Club subscription box. He’ll love having a chance to try different beers each month. Some beer of the month clubs also suggest food pairings. Wine of the month is also an option.

Mystery Tackle Box

For dads who love to spend their free time on a boat waiting for the fish to bite, we found some great options.

With this monthly subscription box comes with tackle and lures, limited edition fishing gear. The survey for this subscription service asks which type of fish are in the waters your dad fishes. This ensures the items received are ideal for the fish that are in his favorite watering hole.

Along with supplies and gear he will also have access to how-to videos filled with tips.

We like Catch Co Mystery Tackle Box. This one is affordable and available on amazon.

Clothing Box

Getting dads and husbands to a store to shop for and try on new apparel might be more miserable than a mammograms (IYKYK.) Put and end to it all. Delivering the options right to his door is the perfect gift.

How they work: you or dad take a survey before receiving the first box to help the subscription company understand dads style. Then, a box of items is delivered, and he gets to try them on in the comfort of home.

There are boxes for every style, from professional to street wear. Everything is tried on at home, then he has the option to purchase his favorite items from the box.

Here are a few we think any dad, husband, or father figure would love.

Apparel

Stitch fix is great subscription box for variety. After a short quiz the Stitch fix algorithm and stylists learn likes and dislike. They also respond well to feedback and factor that into the items shipped the following month.

You can choose from monthly delivery or quarterly. This subscription service has a $20 fee which you receive as a credit toward any items he decide to keep.

We personally use Stitch Fix, and you can too! Sign up for Stitch Fix.

For the man who appreciates the finer things in life, Nordstrom offers Trunk Club. A monthly subscription cost of $25 (later applied as a credit on items he keeps,) includes clothing, accessories and shoes from all of Nordstrom’s brands. Prices for items from Trunk Club range from $25-$300.

Amazon really does have us covered from A-Z. Amazon offers their own monthly box subscription, with Prime Wardrobe. At no additional costs to your Prime Membership, dad can easily update his wardrobe in a few months.

Prime Wardrobe does offer an upgraded version called Personal Shopper. This upgrade adds a real person helping to style dad, in addition to the genius Amazon AI.

Subscribers to monthly box subscriptions, typically 7 days to decide which items they want to keep, and which weren’t the best fit.

Additionally, for dads who continue their subscriptions, most companies learn from past boxes. This means that month over month, the items delivered are more ideal and in line with his style. So it’s like father’s day every month for him.

Accessories

Some of the best subscription boxes focus on accessories, gear, and household items you may have never considered gifting.

Gentleman’s Box pairs together accessories to ensure your savvy man is putting his best fashion foot forward. This monthly subscription box delivers items such as ties, with coordinating socks, cuff links, and even watches. It’s also available for purchase from Amazon here

Grooming Products

If the man in your life has a passion for personal care, there’s a subscription box for him too. For the guy who stays on top of her beard game, gifting one of these subscription boxes allows him to try grooming items he otherwise may not have considered.

Grooming boxes are the perfect way to try samples of products before committing to full size products. Added bonus, he’s sure to smell great too.

Dollar Shave Club gives you the choice between razors, products, and a mix of both. Don’t let the namesake fool you. Dollar Shave Club is so much more than razors and shaving cream. Skin and body care products are also options from Dollar Shave Club.

Fresche Box has six different categories to choose from. Fresche offers a plan starting at $10 a month. With this option you get 5 sample sized products. This approach allows you to avoid things you don’t like, and purchase more of the ones you do.

With Fresche, the company will give dad a survey before he orders his first box. This clues them in to his skin and body type to discover his skin type to send the best products.

What I think might be one of the best subscription boxes for men is, Birchbox Grooming. I love this box because the products are tailored to each individual needs, because everyone needs something different.

Each month based of the specifics of the recipient. If the man in your life really cares about this face and skincare needs, this is the box you should sign him up for.

Once you husband or dad receives his first box for grooming, chances are he will be hooked.

coffee lover

If the dad you’re shopping for is a coffee addict, then a coffee box is the perfect gift. This concept brings blends from around the country and world that your savvy sipper would have otherwise had no exposure to.

Sometimes the first box from these subscriptions sends blind taste tests to best determine the flavors you enjoy. Then moving forward a perfectly curated boxes show up with lovely brew choices.

Here are a few that we love, and think your dad or husband will to.

Bean Box offers a variety of flavor choices from deep roasts to light and fruity. You get to choose whole bean or already ground beans. You will also love this box because you can get you joe delivered weekly, ensuring you always have the freshest beans or grounds for your morning pour. Bean Box is money well spent for a delicious morning brew.

Atlas Coffee Club allows dad to try coffee from a different country each month. As mentioned on their site, Coffee of the Month Club allows you to travel the world on cup at a time.

Not only does Atlas offer great brew options, they also offer education and information on how to brew the perfect coffee, with and without a machine.

Lastly, Trade coffee is ideal for someone who wants the perfect cup of coffee for him. One of the best features with Trade Coffee is that once you sign up, you will never receive the same coffee twice, unless you want to.

Whether he likes a French Press, or a traditional who pot brew giving the weekly or monthly gift of coffee for Father’s Day will perk him right up. Give Trade Coffee as a gift.

Meat is a good treat

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. If your dad or husband likes to fire up the grill or smoker on the weekends, consider gifting him a meat box. Whether it’s steaks, cured meats, or jerky there’s a box for that.

Lets start with carnivore club. This “club” offers an incredible selection of cured meats to meet his needs. We love that you can buy this one directly from Amazon.

Dad jokes can be really dry sometimes. Here’s your sign to give him some dries meat to go along with those dry jokes. Jerky subscription boxes are perfect on long fishing trips, guys weekends to the lake, or sitting around a camp fire with a good book. Jerk Gent delivers new brands and flavors each month.

For the man who likes to grill, Butcher Box sends grass fed beef, free range chicken, humanely raised pork, and wild caught seafood. You can design your own box, or pick from a perfectly curated pre selected box. These meats will work well in any of your favorite recipes.

In Conclusion

One time gifts for Father’s Day are great. But buying a dad subscription boxes for Father’s Day is the gift that keeps giving. 4-12 times over the next year he’ll be reminded of how much you appreciate him.

You can also try any boxes for a single month to ensure he will enjoy the idea of a monthly subscription box. However, chances are, once he receives his first box, he will be hooked.
