These days there is a subscription box for almost everything. You can’t beat the convenience and pleasure of getting things you love, or things you didn’t even know you wanted, delivered to your door every week or every month for a fixed price. In fact, a person could probably live their life on subscription boxes, subsisting on tasty meal kits, stylish clothing wrappers, and other items.
Having said that, if you’re willing to pay a regular fee and roll the dice, you may receive some really weird boxes. Whether you’re looking to start a new niche hobby or fill your home with collectibles to start the conversation, here are some weird subscription boxes to study. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
We are unlikely to be able to rely on the post or similar services to get the goods we need when the world crumbles. Before you really sink into chaos, the $ 50 per month Apocabox provides you with all the doomsday preparation materials you need, from specific survival tools (hygiene kits, edible bugs) to a simple knife.
Cannabox makes your illicit stoner fantasies come true by delivering all kinds of ganja props for around $ 30 a month. Legal marijuana is clearly the wave of the future, so future generations won’t see anything strange receiving bongs, pipes, rolling papers, and other cannabis accessories in the mail.
Feel no shame for your love of refined feline friends. CatLadyBox delivers everything you need to please yourself and your fellow cats. Sign up for the $ 40 per month membership to receive catnip toys, hooded blankets with cat ears, cat-shaped cooling racks, and other perfect gifts.
Toilet paper is more useful than almost anything you might receive in the mail on a regular basis. You will always need it, after all. For $ 28 per box, Cloud Paper provides 24 rolls of three-ply toilet paper (with 350 squares per roll made from sustainable bamboo). Somewhere, a family of cartoon bears passed out for joy.
Here is the most meta entry on this list. Cratejoy is not an individual subscription, it is a portal to browse and purchase countless other subscription services. We found most of these entries while diving into the rabbit holes of Cratejoy. If you are also interested in creating and selling a subscription box, and not just buying, Cratejoy has the tools to make it happen.
We all know Bigfoot is real; we can’t prove it yet. Until he’s finally ready to make his presence known, let’s check out all manner of mythical monsters and cryptozoological plots for $ 40 per month. Cover your research lair with posters and artwork, or pick up books and movies that reveal “the truth.”
There is nothing inherently strange about buying accessories for your car. It’s pretty much a necessity. But it takes a real reducer to sign up for a service like GloveBox, a $ 32-per-month subscription box dedicated to all things automotive. Get all the car cleaning supplies you need and enjoy discounts with GloveBox partner suppliers.
Finally a subscription box for chickens. Whether you are running a chicken farm or trying to breed roosters in a big city, Henny + Roo is the service for you. What Do Chicken Farmers Need? How about nesting box liners, egg cups for poaching eggs, and sweet corn sweet foods? The box costs $ 41 per month, but the birds are priceless.
A $ 28 per month Horti box not only gives you plants that breathe new life into your home, but it also connects you to a welcoming community eager to teach you how to take best care of these plants. Eventually, you might not even need the box if you learn to deal with the natural world around you.
Letters From Dead People works a little differently from the other boxes on this list. For a flat fee of $ 155, you’ll receive monthly boxes for a year filled with clues that will help you unravel a bigger and more sinister mystery. It’s a bit like an escape room. The most horrible thing is that these clues are supposed to be letters written by deceased New Orleans people in the late 1920s transcribed by psychics.
New pickles in the mail every month for $ 25. Kosher pickles, garlic pickles, “premium pickles in small batches”. That’s it. This is the pickle box.
If you’re someone who spends all day typing on a computer, Rad and Hungry offers a new and tangible way to get back to the roots of writing. For $ 25 per month, you’ll receive all kinds of nifty office supplies, such as vintage pens, stylish notebooks, and intricate desk organizers.
Skulls Unlimited offers a plethora of bone related products and services, from selling real bones and replicas of animals and humans to accepting and cleaning customer bones. With so many bones lying around, no wonder the company has started offering the $ 25 a month Bone Box, a subscription box full of its products. Put skeletons in your closet.
If you want the goo delivered to your door without raising suspicion, join the Slime Box Club. For $ 30 a month, you and your kids can enjoy so much sticky, gooey, dripping, and colorful gak that even Nickelodeon would blush. They are also given candy, but just check before your kids put anything in their mouths.
With Venture in History, you literally have to spend money to make money. For $ 18 per month, you will receive at least $ 20 of paper money from around the world. So whether you are a foreign currency geek or an international spy who is not sure where it will end up, be sure to take a look at this box.
