Men can be hard to shop for which is why these subscription boxes for men are a great idea! Give him one of the best monthly subscription boxes for men so he can keep receiving some of his favorite things month after month! Scroll through to find the perfect one for the guy in your life.
I remember as a teenager going into a store and trying to find something that my dad would like for his birthday. I’d comb the aisles, trying in vain to find that one thing that would make his day extra special.
I’d almost always ask my mom and she’d give me bland suggestions like, “He needs some new socks!” or, “He could use a new package of tennis balls!”.
I often felt like no matter what I got my dad for his birthday, Christmas, or Father’s Day, it wasn’t ever something unique or fun.
Now that I’m married with three kids, I’ll ask my husband what he wants for his birthday or Father’s Day, and he gives me answers like, “Well, I really need shoe polish. I could use some more white socks.” so I’ll counter with, “How about a new pair of jeans? Or we could get that tech gadget you wanted last month?”
We go round and round until finally, I end up getting him either food or clothes because I know he’ll always eat and he needs new clothes, even if he doesn’t think he does. But I wind up feeling like he never gets to pamper himself or enjoy something fun like I do for my birthday or Mother’s Day.
To help make things a little easier for myself and you this upcoming Father’s Day (but any occasion will do), I’ve looked into all different kinds of subscription boxes for men out there so you can find the one that’s right for your man! (Check out Katelyn’s romantic gift ideas for him post if you want other ideas for gifts).
Whether your man enjoys sports, a good shave, staying fit, or geeky T-shirts, I’ve got you covered.
And the best part? You don’t have to drag him to the store to get him to try on anything or nag him about what he really wants!! All these monthly boxes for men are delivered right to your front door!
I’ve broken all the options down by subject matter so you can find the perfect gift for your man.
Subscription Boxes for Men
Monthly Subscription Boxes for Men Who Like Shaving and Pampering
The following monthly boxes for men are for the men who enjoy spending that extra time in the bathroom making sure his shave and smell is just right:
Dollar Shave Club
The Dollar Shave Club is a subscription box service for men that sends them shaving supplies and replacement razor cartridges every month.
Recommended for: Men who shave . . . which is pretty much every man you know.
How often boxes come: Monthly, renews automatically, but you can cancel anytime. You can also switch to getting your replacement cartridges every other month instead of every month and skip shipments if you want
Costs of the subscription boxes: The first box you order is just $5. Every box after that contains a pack of replacement cartridges for $9 a month. Shipping is FREE.
What you can expect to receive in a box:
Stuff a guy needs for shaving! The first box you order comes with:
- 6-Blade Executive Razor
- A pack of 6 blade cartridges
- Starter set products (like scrub and shave butter and shower stuff)
- Every box after that contains a pack of replacement cartridges
What makes them unique: This subscription service is super affordable. Also, most guys don’t enjoy shopping and want to avoid going to the grocery store to buy razors or shaving supplies. This delivers the products to their front door so they don’t have to worry about it.
What I like about Dollar Shave Club: You can cancel anytime, and if you’re not happy with the products, they give you a 100% refund. Not a lot of other subscription services do that! Most offer partial or no refunds. Plus, they have other products for the shower, brushing your teeth, doing your hair, etc. These boxes are pretty much an all-in-one hygiene care kit for the guy in your life.

Scent Box
With Scent Box, you’ll choose a 30-day supply of a new designer fragrance each month (0.27 oz / 8 ml, 4 sprays a day for 31 days). There are over 800 original designer fragrances, including some premium high-end fragrances.
Recommended for: Men and Women, they have masculine and feminine scents
How often boxes come: Monthly, recurring, can cancel at any time.
Costs of the subscription boxes: There are a few different plans to pick from, but all shipping is FREE.
- Standard Plan – Choose 1 designer fragrance per month for $13.95/mo
- Deluxe Plan – Choose 2 designer fragrances per month for $21.95/mo
- Premium Plan – Choose 1 designer fragrance per month with access to 250+ premium fragrances for $18.95/mo.

Use coupon code SCENT30 to get 30% off the first month!
What you can expect to receive in a box: 1 or 2 designer fragrances, depending on the plan you pick.
What makes them unique: If you decide one month that you want to order a fragrance for yourself instead of your man, you can! You can pick between men’s and women’s fragrances anytime.
What I like about Scent Box: Perfume and cologne can get expensive, and then what if you buy a big bottle and don’t like it or get sick of the smell? This is a good way to mix it up a bit. If your husband has been using the same cologne for the last 10 years, this is a good way for him to try something new that won’t break the bank.

Monthly Subscription Boxes for Dads
If you are shopping for Father’s day (or for your husband or another new dad you know) the following box might just be perfect for him!
Rad Dad
The Rad Dad Box helps a new father and child bond. Your man will get new products that will help him and baby create lots of great memories.
Recommended for: Dads with kids under the age of 3
How often boxes come: Monthly, recurring, can cancel when you want
Costs of the subscription boxes:
$7 flat shipping rate in the U.S., $16 to Canada, and $22 everywhere else around the world.
You can choose from the standard Rad Dad box or the Deluxe Rad Dad Box.
Standard Rad Dad Box
- Monthly plan – $25/month
- 3-month prepay – $72 or $24 a box
- 6-month prepay – $132 or $22 a box

- Soap, hand sanitizer, and other self-care items
- Dad-themed items to help him feel less ignored and more appreciated
- Books, toys and items for baby, to help Dad and baby bond
- The deluxe box contains 5-8 products
What makes them unique: The founder of Rad Dad wanted to create a subscription box that catered especially to fathers. Fathers can often be pushed to the side during the pregnancy/labor/childhood journey, and more focus is put on the mother. This is a good way to make Dads feel included, and Stay-at-Home Dads feel loved.
What I like about Rad Dad: The role of “Dad” is often underplayed, but I know how much I love and appreciate my husband and how much he does for me and our kids. I like that this service caters to dads and celebrates their choice to be an involved father.

Monthly Subscription Boxes for Men Who Like Clothes
How many straight men do you know that love to go shopping for themselves? My husband’s face gets an immediate pained expression the minute we have to go out and buy an item of clothing for him even when he absolutely needs it.
There are so many men’s clothing subscription boxes out there now that he may never have to set foot in a store again if he can help it (yet still look amazing)!
There are clothing subscriptions for men that focus on fitness and athletics, there are some that offer ties and accessories, and others that provide everyday wear for the office or at home.

Katelyn recently went through all the details of these amazing clothing subscription boxes for men in THIS post. Check it out if you think your man is interested in new clothes!

So there’s something for everyone. You can pick your preferred size and include what kind of things you like before ordering.
What I like about Teeblox: A lot of men like to wear T-shirts, but sometimes they hunt for them at the local thrift shop or garage sales. Get your man something he will like, that fits, and that doesn’t have holes or stains!

Monthly Subscription Boxes for Men Who Like to Cook & Eat
Maybe you want your guy to woo you with his prowess in the kitchen, or maybe you just want a little break from cooking, or maybe he really wants to eat healthier. Meal subscription boxes make cooking in the kitchen a stress-free experience, and they’re also a great thing to try out as a fun date night at home together!
Blue Apron
Blue Apron is a fresh ingredient and recipe delivery service that helps chefs of all levels cook incredible meals at home. We take care of the menu planning and shopping (providing you with fresh, locally sourced ingredients in pre-measured quantities), so all you have to do is cook and enjoy.
Katelyn tried them out before and said that it was really good food, fancier than she normally eats for sure (and still plans on writing a review about it… eventually).
How often boxes come: Once a week, you can skip a week or cancel at anytime
Costs of the subscription boxes: The plans vary, so really think about how many meals you want and how much you want to spend before selecting one.
- Two-Person Plan, 2 recipes a week: $9.99 per serving; $7.99 shipping; or $22.95 weekly total incl. shipping
- Two-Person Plan, 3 recipes a week: $9.99 per serving; FREE shipping; $34.94 weekly total
- Family Plan, 2 recipes a week: $8.99 per serving; FREE shipping; $46.92 weekly total
- Family Plan, 3 recipes a week: $7.99 per serving; FREE shipping; $70.88 weekly total
- Family Plan, 4 recipes a week: $7.49 per serving; FREE shipping; $94.84 weekly total
However, right now you can Take $50 Off! ($25 Off Each Week) of a new plan!
What you can expect to receive in a box: All the ingredients you need to make meals, plus step-by-step recipes.
What makes them unique: If you are a vegetarian or a pescetarian, or if you just don’t like to eat red meat, fish, shellfish, pork, or lamb, you can personalize your menu each week based on your preferences. All of the boxes are assembled in the same processing facility, so don’t order Blue Apron if you have a serious food allergy.
What I like about Blue Apron: It takes the hassle out of cooking because you don’t have to go to the store to buy what you need! It’s also easy for you and your spouse to do together. You can cook a nice meal together without leaving the house if you have kids. I also like that Blue Apron gives you different recipe ideas and options. I don’t like that you can’t access the recipes until you sign up for a plan, so you don’t know exactly what you’re getting unless you actually sign up. A lot of men don’t like cooking, so this takes a lot of the extra effort out of it. They don’t have to go to the store to buy the ingredients for the meals, and the recipes are easy to follow.
Shop Blue Apron.
