Super important update: If you did not know it, Father's Day is this coming Sunday. Yes, that is why your Hulu ads have been taken over by cologne commercials and why you got those great deals at Macy's last week. Now, what will your uber-loved, trendy pa be getting this year? These delivery boxes are great services and a wonderful way to show Dad you care. Delivery boxes run the gambit of interests from underwear of the month clubs (not on the list for Dads) to snack services, to cigars and meals. There is, pretty much, a delivery box for any monthly commodity your heart desires.
Here are a few of my favorites just for that special Dad in your life. Because, those guys who told us bedtime stories, played tag in the backyard, and helped form us into the people we are today deserve something special on the day all about them.
Trunk Club
Trunk Club is for the stylish and distinctive Father who enjoys looking dapper any day of the week. This service uses your personal stylist to pick and send you clothing once a month, or, when you want it. Once a member, you will be asked a series of questions about your style and size. Then, sit back and wait for your goods. The Trunk Club will send you a box of clothes your stylist believes you will like. If you like it, keep it, if not, send it back. Just know, Trunk Club is a bit higher end and most items are priced $100+.
Since this service is a bit higher end, Dad will also have 24/7 stylist help at his beck and call. The stylist selected will be available via e-mail or phone for all your super-trendy Dad's outfit needs.
Handy Box
This has "Dad" written all over it. Handy Box is a monthly box subscription with all the things those handy Dads will love. Every 1, 3, or 6 months, your Dad will receive a box with tools and gadgets galore. Each Handy Box comes with 4-6 tools and gadgets to help Dads complete DIY projects from here to forever. The best part about these is that boxes cost about $24.95 but items inside would retail for about $40!
Craft Beer Club
Your hipster Dad is sure to love the merging of these two trends- a box of the month centered around craft beer, his head just might explode. This monthly craft beer box will send your Dad craft beers from around the country from traditional and independent breweries alike. The first box will also have three extra special gifts just for that extra special guy.
Each box costs $39 for twelve beers per box, or $74.11 for 24. This service can also be cancelled at any time. The first box will also have three extra special gifts just for that extra special guy. The Craft Beer Club also give special gifts to those subscribes for two shipments, three months, or a year.
Man Crates
Ok, this is not a monthly subscription box, but it is a box that needs some serious hype. Man Crates are literally crates of goods sent to your Dad. Each crate comes with a crow bar used to open it and what is inside is, almost, completely up to you. Man Crate even has survival crates for the new Dad in your life. That's right, new Dad's can get camo diaper bag, baby guide, pacifier, and energy supplements to last them about an hour.
Crates range in price and interests. No matter if your Dad is a survivalist, gamer, athlete, golfer, beer drinker, or food lover, Man Crates has something for him that will sing beautiful melodies of money saving to your wallet.
Dollar Shave Club
Dollar Shave Club is one of the pioneers of subscription boxes. For $1-$9 a month, your Dad will never have a dull razor again. This shave club will send your Dad a new razor every month. Once the new one comes, the old one is tossed and razor burns are gone. Because, we may see our Dad's as the toughest guys out there, but every face need some pampering and a new razor at some point.
Even better, every month you will get a new razor and between 4-5 new cartridges every month. Scorsees!
Full disclosure, I just started the hubs on Dollar Shave Club for his B-day. Therefore, all links to Dollar Shave Club in this post are my personal referral links. If you sign up, I get $5 extra in my shaving account. The great news is that this offer is available for everyone once they get started!
