13 of the best subscription boxes for men who never want to step foot in a mall ever again

If you're relying on Seamless for most of your meals - now you can stop. For the hungry man, ButcherBox(opens in a new tab) is the subscription box that just delivers the meats.

For $129 a month, ButcherBox sends subscribers about eight to 11 pounds of choice cuts of various meats, such as beef, chicken, and pork. And since most people aren't looking for surprises when it comes to meat, you can choose from curated mixes or customize your own box each month, using variously-priced plans.

The meats include organic, free range chicken, heritage breed pork, and 100% grass fed beef. The subscription box also sends a number of recipe cards, so you’re not always cooking the meats the same way all the time. 

ButcherBox(opens in a new tab) packages start at $129 a month.

If the man in your life has zero fashion sense or hates shopping for clothes and shoes altogether, then a monthly subscription to Menlo Club(opens in a new tab) (formerly Five Four Club) is a great gift to give him. 

For $60 a month, subscribers will receive two or three items in the mail to keep. These items can range from casual wear like t-shirts and jeans or activewear like running shorts and tank tops. Packages even include shoes and accessories like belts and socks from time to time, while Menlo House makes and designs most articles of clothing featured in each package.

Here’s how it works: During sign-up, subscribers have to pick a style package, such as classic, forward, casual, and mix (which is a mix of all three). Afterwards, they have to fill out a questionnaire about clothes and shoe sizes and that’s it. Once subscribed, members will get items in the mail once a month until the subscription is canceled or delayed. 

If an item doesn’t fit properly, subscribers can return it for a free size exchange. However, items cannot be returned if they are not to their liking, which is a bummer and a missed opportunity to sell other items like t-shirts and jeans at a discount.

Menlo Club(opens in a new tab) is a simple service that offers various styles and cuts to men who have zero fashion sense or who are looking to build their wardrobe. While the subscription doesn’t have a personal stylist feature, Menlo Club is a fantastic way to stay on the cutting edge of style. 

Menlo Club(opens in a new tab) is a flat $60 a month for two to three items of men’s fashion and activewear. The first month is only $30, plus you’ll get a free pair of sunglasses.

The subscription box service guarantees at least $100 worth of items, which are themed around a monthly concept or season like summer wear, business looks, and more.

SprezzaBox also offers various styles that you can pick and choose. In addition, the service has one-off purchases available, such as wedding-themed boxes for groom and groomsmen. SprezzaBox(opens in a new tab) subscriptions start at $28 a month.

Winc(opens in a new tab) is considered the "Netflix for wine" with hundreds of new selections for you to try every month. However, you're not going to get random bottles you might not be interested in. Instead Winc sends an  assortment of wines curated to your tastes and palate. 

Once you sign up and fill out a questionnaire about your specific tastes, Winc will recommend options. You then simply pick and choose what you want, or you can let the service pick out the bottles for you.

Bottles of wine start at $13, while subscription boxes start at $39 a month. While there is a shipping fee of $9, you can get free shipping when you pick four or more bottles for your subscription. Boxes come with at least three bottles of wine, tasting, and pairing cards, Winc's monthly journal with recipes, and information about the wine selected.

Just be warned, some states have very strict laws against shipping alcohol. Check your local state's laws on delivery restrictions. Winc(opens in a new tab) starts at $39 a month for a three-bottle subscription box.
