Best Self-Care Subscription Boxes

If you’re looking to boost wellness with therapist-approved products and research-based activities designed to get you started on a self-care routine (and help you continue it), TheraBox is a great place to start. Boxes start at $31, and there are monthly, three-month, six-month, and 12-month payment plans available.

Each box contains products with a total value of over $120. They range from aromatherapy and skincare to lifestyle goods such as journals and candles, and the themes and items for boxes change every month.

Subscriptions auto-renew according to the chosen plan at the end of the subscription cycle, but subscribers can cancel anytime before the renewal date. One-time boxes are also available for purchase—a good option for gifting or if you want to try out a box before committing to a subscription plan.

Bath time is the perfect me-time—there’s nothing like soaking in a nice, warm bubble bath at the end of a hectic day. For those who love the type of R&R a bath can bring, Bath Bevy subscription boxes will be a welcome sight at the door every month. 

The monthly themed boxes—starting at $33 each if you sign up for a year's subscription, or $27 for single purchase mystery box—containg bath bombs, bubble baths, bath salts, sugar scrubs, and other pampering products. Don’t have a tub? No problem. Bath Bevy offers a tub-less box option that contains shower-friendly items such as whipped scrubs, body washes, and even a shower steamer.

Boxes ship the first week of every month, but subscribers can easily skip a month or put their subscription on hold. Individual products and box sets are available for purchase and are good for gifts or just replenishing your bathroom stash.

A nine-month subscription (one box curated for each chakra, delivered monthly), Chakra Box delivers up to 12 items and spiritual tools designed to enhance your meditation practice and improve wellbeing. Products include gemstones, crystals, pyramids, aromatherapy oils, incense, and a digital download of music to prepare and balance your space for meditation. 

Affirmations, guided meditation, and yoga poses are also included in each Chakra Box. Subscribers receive an email containing other guidance and information on the chakra of the month.

A subscription starts at $39, and boxes ship on the first full week of the month. Subscriptions automatically renew monthly, but subscribers can cancel anytime.

A seasonal subscription box with beauty, fitness, and lifestyle products, FabFitFun is one of the most popular self-care subscription boxes. It offers variety (past boxes have included a gravity weighted sleep mask, an anti-aging light device, a gym bag, and an apple cider vinegar hair rinse), customizations, and member benefits, such as free workout videos and refills on favorite items at discounted prices.

FabFitFun ships out four boxes a year (valued at $450 per box) containing up to eight to full-size products. You have the option of seasonal or annual memberships. If you sign up for the annual subscription, you'll pay $220 upfront for your first four boxes. Annual members can customize their entire box, while seasonal members can pick some of the items in their box. 

Each season, FabFitFun also partners with charitable organizations. Members can donate directly to the organization during the add-ons and sales, and all donations go directly to the season's charity or organization.

The Detox Market’s focus on clean beauty, pure ingredients, and cruelty-free formulas has made it a reliable destination for premium skincare brands. Now, with its Detox Box, it’s bringing the best of those brands to the homes of self-care enthusiasts. 

The monthly Detox Box curates tried-and-true favorites, featuring one or more brands each month—the June 2021 box, for example, featured Tata Harper products, while the April 2021 box included Honua Skincare products.

Subscriptions start at $40 a month (for a six-month plan), and each box contains products valued at $90 or more. There are also monthly and 3-month plans, and the Detox Box is available for gift subscriptions.

For busy friends, the gift of relaxation can be priceless. The Calmbox (subscriptions start at $32 per month) delivers five to eight mindfully chosen items to help soothe: inspiring books, music, tea, candles, natural minerals and crystals, aromatic herbs, snacks, and motivational reminders that a stressed loved one will appreciate.

Giving a Calmbox is easy. Just choose from four available payment plans and provide the recipient’s shipping address. You also can include a personal message via email or included in the package.
