20 Best Subscription Boxes For Men That Make Great Last-Minute Father’s Day Gifts

Frequency: Monthly | Free shipping: Over $95 | Extras: Skip or swap a box, customize styles

Bespoke Post has subscription boxes full of items from lesser-known brands and small businesses: They cater to practically every hobby and interest, from DIY alcohol distilling to paella-making. Subscribers get an email with a look inside the curated monthly box, from which you can tweak your choices, add on extra goods or skip the box at no cost. Signing up is also relatively low-risk since you’ll never have to accept a box you don’t want (and it’s free to return one if you forget to skip it at the start of the month). Plus, the “occasional rewards” are worth it, as executive editor Dave Johnson says: “Every once in a while, Bespoke Post chooses something that catches my eye—a bread-making cloche, a meat tenderizer, a nifty jacket and so on—and I welcome the unexpected goodie into my home.”

It’s fully customizable, so you can select the coffee type (ground, whole bean or pods), brew method, roast preference and number of bags per shipment. “Not only was the coffee fresh and flavorful, but I looked forward to opening up each delivery so I could learn more about the origin country of the beans that month,” says Ferrise, who has since gifted the subscription to her dad.

Stitch Fix is a relatively straightforward subscription service: You tell a stylist what you like to wear and your sizes, and they send everything from sleek suits to casual jeans and on-trend jackets. The monthly $20 styling fee is credited toward the pieces you keep, so even if you just want one item, the fee is rolled into its cost. Stitch Fix can be a “godsend” for men who need professional guidance refreshing their wardrobe, according to Johnson, who has been a subscriber since 2018. “I trust my stylist to pick out clothes that fit my vibe but also occasionally push the envelope a bit,” he says. 

You’ll also likely figure out which delivery frequency works best the longer you use the service. Johnson notes, “As I started rounding out my wardrobe, monthly boxes became just too much. I reduced the frequency to one box every three months, and that’s just about right.”
