According to a recent survey, 54% of people who shop online have at least one regular monthly subscription box. The average amount that customers spend is $57. The most popular subscription boxes are the Dollar Shave Club, Ipsy and Blue Apron. Meal kits and drink boxes are extremely common, but if you want to go a bit more upmarket, there are some excellent luxury boxes you can buy that will open up a whole world of fine food and drink, and are definitely something different from your ordinary grocery store products. 

 

Tea and coffee

A good cup of tea is something to be savored and it is worth spending the time enjoying the ritual of brewing your tea and drinking it from a beautiful china cup. A subscription box makes sampling teas from around the world easy. Atlas Tea Club offers single origin teas from Nepal, Kenya and Sri Lanka, as well as many other countries, that are ethically sourced. If you prefer a cup of strong coffee in the mornings, but want something different than dried, instant coffee, you could try Beanbox, which offers samples from 35 Pacific Northwest roasters in different strengths from espresso to light. Crema is another luxury box for coffee aficionados, with a rating system to help the company understand your specific tastes. Crema then creates a coffee “playlist” for you, so that you always get a delicious cup in the mornings. 

 

For the foodies

If you are a meat lover who cares about the quality of the cut and where the meat has come from, a subscription box can often give you better options than the grocery store. Porter Road offers a luxury box at $100 a month with a mix of top-quality meat including mouth-watering steaks and delicious bacon. If you can’t resist cheese, try Murray’s Cheese “Cheese of the Month Club.” The subscription boxes are crammed with a selection of fromage from the U.S. and further afield. You will soon be reaching for the crackers and the red wine. 

 

A little tipple

There are some excellent subscription boxes if you enjoy a glass of something special in the evening or with a meal. With a Flaviar box you will get to sample high-end, quality whiskies, including American bourbon. Along with the box, subscribers also get regular invitation to events, and even the occasional complimentary bottle. It has become extremely popular to learn about mixology and make cocktails at home. The Crafted Taste kit is perfect if you’re having a gathering with friends - the monthly kit contains enough ingredients for 12 cocktails. You can follow the step-by-step instructions and sample some excellent mixers and bitters with your drink. 

A luxury subscription box will brighten up your mailbox and give you access to some top-quality products. What you eat and drink matters, and it is worth spending a little extra to get something delicious.
