For the perfect gift for a man in your life, or a special dad or grandpa, a subscription gift for men can be the perfect way to show you really really get him.
Not only are subscription gifts for men available with basically every theme you can imagine—so there’s one just right for him—but they will remind him he’s loved for months, or even the entire year.
Whether he loves to grill and drink beer (like every Father’s Day greeting card seem to imply), or he prefers gardening, a great book, or just spending time with the kids, I’ve found a subscription gift for men that any special guy in your life will adore. – Kate, with Liz

A subscription gift for the man who’s super picky about his gear: Bespoke Post High-End Men’s Gear Box
($49/box for members or $70/single box, Bespoke Post. Get $15 off first order when you sign up for emails.)
A few years ago, Kate gave her husband a Bespoke Post subscription (also at top) for Father’s Day, and he still calls it one of the best gifts he’s ever received. He filled out a quiz to receive a highly personalized box of well-crafted items from small brands. Any guy will find something to love in here — themes include travel, style, outdoor adventure, tech, food, cooking — and if he doesn’t, he can swap an upcoming box for an older one he wants, or skip a month of his subscription. You can also just shop the Bespoke Post store, if you want access to some incredible items without the subscription.
A subscription gift for the man who could use a night to throw one back with the boys: Craft Beer Club
(From $33/month, Hops Collective)
With a subscription to Hops Collective, he can choose his own favorite beverages of choice, from domestic to European, ciders to rare blends — even a mystery crate if he’s excited to try anything at all. A great subscription gift for men who are true beer snobs — and best if accompanied by some time alone with other beer snob friends.
Two subscription gifts for the man who needs a little grooming support: 1. The Beard Club subscription
(On sale for $46-83/box, The Beard Club, with limited time discount on site)
In this wildly beloved subscription box for men, choose from a starter, advanced, or ultimate beard kit based on his facial hair goals and needs. You can even curate a custom box with everything from beard growth oil and grooming soaps to a beard derma roller or a PT45 beard and hair trimmer. Each box will be delivered to his door on his own schedule, whether he needs new goodies each month or just a few times a year.
2. Harry’s Limited Edition Father’s Day Gift Set
($30, Harrys.com)
Of course there’s also a Harry’s razor gift set, or he would prefer a practical subscription gift for men like razor blade refills or some simple skin care essentials, check out Harry’s subscriptions, which give you a 15% discount for 3 or more items plus free shipping.
A subscription gift for the man who loves all the stereotypical “man stuff” : The Man Box
($20-24/mo, Cratejoy; use code HALFOFF for 50% off the first month)
Yes, we’re fully leaning into MAN stereotypes here, but there’s a reason this subscription box for men is so highly lauded among picky editors like…us. He’ll get an assortment of items curated around a theme like Lifestyle, Tech/Gadgets, Sports, Game Night, Grooming, and Tools. Don’t be surprised if one box includes a folding knife. Because of course folding knives.
Three subscription gifts for the man who’s always up too late: 1. A Personalized Coffee Subscription
($14.95 and up per bag, or $60 and up for a subscription, Trade Coffee)
As coffee drinkers ourselves, we’re huge fans of coffee subscription gifts that allow us to try some new flavors each month. And possibly, find a new favorite to keep in rotation. Trade offers more than 450 coffees entirely from indie roasters, and a gift subscription lets personalize the beans to his tastes and schedule, so they arrive fresh each month.
2.The Coffee Connoisseur Subscription
($155/3 months or $315 for the Luxe boxUncommon Goods)
Alternatively, check out this subscription box that’s more than just beans. The first month, your coffee aficionado gets a blind coffee bean taste test experience box. Next, a limited roast global coffee sampler. Finally, a cold brew coffee maker and carafe. And that’s just the “lite” version of the subscription box!
3. Tayst Eco-Friendly, Keurig Compatible Coffee Subscription
($25/month box, Cratejoy)
Another coffee subscription gift idea just for Keurig users is surprisingly eco-friendly. Tayst is a beloved subscription box company that sends compostable and biodegradable coffee pods, hold all the plastic waste. The coffees are all Rainforest Alliance Certified and sustainably grown, then freshly packed into pods and ready to brew. Besides, that generic “Donut Shop” K-cup really isn’t that good.
Pro Tip: If he works at an office with a Keurig Machine, he can stash his own pods there, and do a little good by the planet and by his own tastes.
A subscription gift for the man who’s weaning off coffee altogether: SmoothieBox
($40-200/mo, SmoothieBox)
We also included this in our recommendations for the best self-care gifts for Mother’s Day because you know taking care of your health is truly self-care. And that goes for men too. Choose from the build-a-box starting at $40 for 5 smoothies in mango, berry, chocolate, green, and more. Or get the popular 20-smoothie subscription box for $160, and he’ll have one each weekday for the month.
Two subscription boxes for the cocktail connoisseur: 1. Cocktail Courier Subscription
($40-66/box, Cratejoy)
This five-star subscription box delivers 6-8 cocktails in each kit with premium spirits, fresh citrus, and seasonal ingredients — plus the recipes you’ll need to make them into something delicious. You can even tailor the gift subscription by alcohol preferences. And if they can’t ship alcohol to his state, they can send an alcohol-free version and he can add the liquor himself.
2. Shaker & Spoon Subscription Box
($50/month and up, Cratejoy; use code FREESHIPFORYOU for free shipping.)
Each month, he’ll get 3 delicious, original recipes by top bartender and everything he needs to make a dozen drinks — four from each recipe. It includes all the syrups, bitters, garnishes and aromatics he’ll need. That is, everything but the booze.
A subscription Box for the non-drinker: Ritual Zero-Proof
($52/box and up, Ritual Zero-Proof, with 10-15% discounts on subscriptions)
Dads aren’t just about beer and booze — at all. If he’s working out, if he’s cutting back, or if he likes the taste in general but not the alcohol, Ritual is the hottest non-alcoholic option right now. Choose between 2 and 5 bottles to send him each month. Psst…it’s also terrific for dads-to-be who are abstaining together with their partners through pregnancy.
A subscription box for the man who’ll take Alaskan Salmon over Angus Beef: Sitka Seafood Market Boxes
($14-159/month, Sitka Seafood Market)
Build your own box or let them curate a selection of seasonal favorites for you each month. Either way, you’ll get premium, wild seafood straight off the boats of Alaskan fishermen, sustainably caught, flash frozen, then shipped safely on dry ice. You can even keep it simple — and affordable — with a 6oz portion of their wild-caught sockeye salmon for just $14 each month.
A subscription gift for the man who lives for golf weekends: Inside the Leather’s Golf Gear Box
($59-66/box, Cratejoy; use code FIRSTBOXFREE for a free first delivery with a 6-month subscription)
You know the guy who will hit the green unless there’s a blizzard out — and even then you suggest he reconsider? This is the subscription box gift for him. He’ll get everything golf that he’ll love from excellent brands at very good prices. Just make sure you know his shirt, hat, and shorts size.
A subscription gift for the gadget geek: Breo Box Tech Subscription Box
($149 box on annual plan, Breo Box; use code BLOOM35 for $35 off your box or LUCKYME for a free $100 mystery bundle)
Yes this is a splurge, but we’ve been really impressed with the quality of items in each quarterly Breo Box delivery after ordering them ourselves as subscription gifts for Father’s Day. You’ll get about $300 worth of goodies in each delivery. They used to be tech-themed, but items have expanded to home goods, gadgets, grooming, small appliances — just cool stuff. They really do keep things interesting and that also means he’ll be getting gifts he doesn’t already own.
A subscription gift for the man still geeking out over the solar eclipse: Science-Lovers Mystery Box Subscription
($43-45/month, Uncommon Goods)
Do not expect toys and goofy gadgets here; this is a serious science lover’s subscription box. He’ll get fascinating, hand-selected items each month from Stemstell Science Shop founder and enthusiast Terry Mudge and his team. Think actual prehistoric fossils, artifacts, research cards, tools, even brand-new, straight-from-the-lab discoveries.
A subscription gift for the man who knows the History Channel lineup by heart: History By Mail Subscription
($42-150, Uncommon Goods)
This monthly mail subscription service sends detailed replicas of historical documents, gathered by archivists and replicated by designers. He’ll have a collection of fascinating keepsakes like Albert Einstein’s correspondence with FDR (hey, Oppenheimer fans), or Rosa Parsks’ police report after refusing to give up her bus seat in Selma — making it a very cool Father’s Day gift to enjoy with the kids too, by the way.
A subscription gift for a man who likes to make a statement with his socks: Spiffy Sock Subscription
($11.91/box and up, Crateoy; code FIRSTBOXFREE gets you a free month with 6-months or more)
Customers rave so much about the comfy, breathable, antibacterial bamboo socks they get each month — the fun patterns almost seem to be a bonus. Plus the price is fantastic!

A subscription gift for the man who loves to cook, not just grill: Crate Chef Subscription Box
(From $55/box, Crate Chef)
If he’s the king of the kitchen, then Crate Chef may have the gift box subscription or men you’re looking for. Each month, he’ll receive a box curated by a notable chef or cookbook author, filled with recipes, ingredients, and fun new tools that he’ll need. It’s not a meal kit delivery service (though those could be a cool gift for men as well); it’s more like a delivery service allowing him to explore new techniques and flavors in the kitchen. Above, The Chef Kenny Gilbert curated box. (Sorry, that one is long gone!)
A subscription gift for the man who loves games and puzzles: Escape the Crate Dscape Room Subscription Box
($26-30/month, Cratejoy)
If you’re shopping for a man who loves escape rooms with the kids, or mystery games on the Playstation, this Escape the Crate subscription will be right up his alley. Each box includes clues to take you through an hour- long escape room-style mystery puzzle. While other similar boxes can be too easy or too “homemade” feeling, this one gets high marks from customers.
A subscription gift for a new dad who’s loving every minute: Rad Dad Subscription Box
(Staring at $27.99/box, Cratejoy)
If he’s already in the running for New Dad of the Year, the Rad Dad crate is such a thoughtful gift for his first Father’s Day. It’s includes a nice mix of gifts that he can play with the baby–but I love that it’s not a baby box. Because let’s be honest, no dad wants a rattle for his Father’s Day gift, no matter how cute it is.
