If you're shopping for a thoughtful Father's Day gift or something to celebrate a special occasion, a subscription box will send him a monthly gift that's curated based on his interests or hobbies. The best subscription boxes for dads—like the Bespoke Post Subscription or Universal Yums Subscription Box—are customizable so you can adjust the frequency of delivery, subscription lengths and oftentimes what's included in each box. This gives him something to look forward to each month and adds flexibility if he wants to skip a delivery.
The best subscription boxes for dads are customizable and provide a curated collection of goods ... More every month.
The first things to consider are Dad's interests or hobbies, as you want the box to be tailored to him and feel like a personal experience. You can also consider a problem-solving box. For example, if Dad wants to refresh his wardrobe but doesn't enjoy shopping, Stitch Fix is a great option. A shaving subscription—like Harry's Original Starter Set—is another practical choice that ensures Dad always has a sharp razor and other essential toiletries like shave gel and face wash. Below, shop our editors' favorite subscription boxes for dads across various interests. (If you're looking for more meaningful gifts before June 15, check out our guide to the best last-minute Father's Day gifts.)
Bespoke Post
Bespoke Post is our best overall option because it caters to Dad's interests and hobbies, whether he's into cooking, camping, mixology or just wants to refresh his wardrobe. (It also earned the top spot in our list of the best subscription boxes for men.) The monthly assortment pulls from small businesses and lesser-known brands, and he can preview the contents of each box before it ships. Plus, he can cancel at any time.
Atlas Coffee
Gift him an Atlas Coffee Club subscription to ensure he always has fresh coffee to start his day. Each box includes single-origin coffee (which can be traced to one farm, farmer, producer or region in a country) and educational resources such as tasting notes for that particular batch. 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.
Grill Masters Club
If Dad loves to get outside and grill, this subscription includes everything he needs to whip up delicious BBQ for the whole family. Each box has five products, from small-batch sauces and marinades to grilling accessories like flavored wood chips. It's a great way to explore new flavors and discover award-winning recipes, all in the comfort of your backyard.
Goldbelly
If he's a foodie, this monthly delivery of popular foods from award-winning restaurants and chefs will surely delight and inspire his taste buds. He can choose from savory, sweet or a combination of both; each box serves at least four people. Some examples of the food he might receive range from deep-dish pizza from Chicago to Philly cheesesteaks to New York cheesecakes made by hand in Brooklyn.
Universal Yums
Frequent snackers will enjoy this box chock-full of interesting goodies from countries like South Korea, Pakistan and the United Kingdom. 'I got my stepdad a subscription to Universal Yums a few years back, and he still talks about some of the snacks he discovered. It's extremely last-minute friendly and just a fun way to try something new every month,' says Jordan Thomas, assistant deals editor at Forbes Vetted.
Firstleaf
If Dad is a wine connoisseur who enjoys trying new varieties (or simply wants to learn more about wine), a Firstleaf subscription is a creative gift he'll be able to enjoy every night. You start by taking a detailed quiz so each delivery caters to your palate, and then the experts at Firstleaf choose six varietals that come from regions all over the world. You have the flexibility to update your plan and wine preferences at any time, and you have access to a wine concierge team that can discuss pairings.
Flaviar
Recipients with discerning palates will appreciate this unique gift subscription that gives them access to rare and award-winning spirits. There are three tiers to choose from: Thoughtful (which includes one bourbon every month and three deliveries total); Generous (six deliveries of the same); and Grand (12 deliveries of the same). You can also opt for custom engraving on the first bottle for a more personalized touch.
Cocktail Courier
If he enjoys experimenting with different spirits and flavors, the Cocktail Courier is a fun subscription box that includes everything needed for six to eight cocktails, even the alcohol. Each box has step-by-step instructions, and there are new seasonal cocktails every month. Past recipes include a cranberry margarita for the holiday season and a fizzy passion fruit spritz ideal for summertime sipping.
Stitch Fix
Stitch Fix is our top choice for a clothing subscription box for men, thanks to its assortment of stylish clothing at affordable prices and flexible plans. Like other subscription services, you start by taking a quiz before being paired with a stylist who sends you five handpicked items, from casual shirts to dressier garments ideal for work and formal occasions. It makes shopping less stressful, and Dad can keep what he likes and return the rest.
Fabletics
It never hurts to have more activewear rather than less, especially if Dad works out frequently. For $60 a month, you'll get a monthly member credit that can be used on a set or single item up to $100. There are hundreds of items to choose from, ranging from versatile quick-dry jackets to joggers to workout t-shirts.
Harry's
Help Dad always look his best with Harry's, which is known for its streamlined razors, but also sells grooming products like a soothing post-shave mist and face wash. If you have a subscription, you receive 5% off on all Harry's products, 15% when you subscribe to three or more items.
Curology
Finding a skincare routine that works can be an afterthought for many guys, but Curology makes it easy to find products that work for you (and schedule a virtual consultation with a dermatologist). Curology builds your routine based on skin type, concerns, goals and what formulas you already use. Once you create a routine, the subscription option ensures you'll never run out of your favorite products.
GQ Box
Each quarterly GQ box is packed with $200 worth of editor-approved items that span different categories like accessories, clothing, grooming and more. Dad may discover new brands he loves, and he'll have access to the member store where he gets exclusive discounts on select products.
