1. Subscription Box

For: The multi-fandom geek

Price: Varies

Subscription boxes have gained huge popularity recently. For a fee, the subscriber will gets a monthly box in the mail containing different kinds of goodies. Each service differs on what they offer, how much they cost, and how often the boxes are delivered. There are also many different kinds of services to choose from so whether you like books, jewelry, or cute little figurines there is sure to be something that interests you.

LootCrate and Geek Fuel are the most classic examples of subscription boxes. There are 4-8 items included in each box depending on the service. Many times that includes exclusive which means your geek will have something no one else has (and bragging rights are very important for us geeks). Geek Fuel is a “mystery box” each month, while LootCrate has a theme, anything from “magical” to “anti-hero”. Both boxes typically include something wearable like a hat or t-shirt.

Fandom of the Month takes the same idea and makes it a little more focused. While also a themed box, this one focuses on jewelry and provides the buyer with 3-4 pieces of fandom inspired jewelry a month. This is a perfect gift for the geeky girl who has a lot of fandoms and wants a way to show them all off. And who wouldn’t want to get surprise jewelry in the mail every month?

OwlCrate is the perfect present for the avid reader. It sends the subscriber one hardcover young adult book and 3-5 other “bookish keepsakes” such as candles, art, and even bath bombs a month. Basically heaven for any book lover. And YA novels aren’t just for kids either, they broach a number of serious topics that many times mainstream media tends to ignore. Perfect for the book reader who wants to expand their horizons and worldview.

You can buy just one box or a subscription for an entire year for a gift that keeps on giving. And these are not the only boxes out there. There are even subscription boxes for pet lovers as well. Do some research before deciding!
