Introducing the Curiosity Box
In Depth
Subscription services deliver much more than magazines these days. You can receive wine, stationery, liquor, or beauty care right at your doorstep, and often with exclusive discounts and rare items that wouldn't be available if you weren't a member. Presented here, in no particular order, are several subscription boxes that bring delight to your mailbox.
The #1 entry is Winc, a wine club that delivers vino straight to your front door. Those interested answer a short quiz to determine their preferred flavor profile, and then Winc will send wines specifically chosen to match. Users then rate the bottles they receive to get better recommendations for the next month's shipment.
Users can choose to receive red, white, rose, or sparkling wine, as well as cider. There is also a special selection of vegan vino that doesn't use any animal byproduct in its production. Winc is based in California and was founded in 2012 by Xander Oxman and Geoff McFarlane.

Up next, at #2, we have Boxcitement, one of the United Kingdom's longest-established subscription boxes. The company creates themed collections of stationery, accessories, jewelry, and homewares to ship to subscribers each month. Every delivery is entirely different, and subscribers can pay in advance for 3, 6, or 12 months, or sign up for a recurring monthly charge.
Boxcitement has committed to ecological practices and uses mostly recyclable materials in its shipments. All the wood it uses comes from sustainable, FSC-certified woodlands. Boxcitement has been reviewed by Girl Meets Box, 2 Little Rosebuds, and Anyway to Stay at Home, all blogs. The company's headquarters are in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in England.
At #3, we have Craft Gin Club, which sends members a full-sized bottle of the spirit every month. The liquor comes from distilleries worldwide, such as Altitude from Chamonix, France, or Perfume Trees from Hong Kong. Members receive small discounts on these gins and can purchase additional spirits, mixers, snacks, and merchandise.

Craft Gin Club ships to members living in the United Kingdom, including the Channel Islands and Scottish Highlands. The box also includes "Ginned," the company's magazine that features unique gin cocktail recipes, such as the Grape 75, a twist on the French 75, which uses lemon, sugar syrup, and Soda Folk Grape.
For #4, we present Beauty Heroes, which delivers skin, body, sun, and hair care to members each month. All of the items include ingredients which are mostly organic, and made by companies that support ethical sourcing. Founder Jeannie Jarnot, who previously worked as a spa director for a major hotel, curates each box.
Unlike some other skincare subscriptions, Beauty Heroes delivers full-size items to members. Each monthly box is valued at least $90. Subscribers, who can select from 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month memberships, also receive a 15% discount in the online store, insider exclusives, and early access to new skincare line launches.

Last up, at #5, we have Curiosity Box, which delivers science toys, puzzles, books, and games to members. Founders Michael Stevens, Jake Roper, and Kevin Lieber work together to create, design, and handpick each item delivered, including constructive kits, brain games, and custom shirts. A portion of the proceeds from each Curiosity Box is donated to aid Alzheimer's Research.
Each box contains a minimum value of $100 and includes things like Finnish puzzles, magnifying glasses, a book about the science of cooking, or a game based on geometry. Stevens, Roper, and Lieber are also behind a popular science education channel on YouTube called Vsauce, which has over 20 million subscribers and 2.5 billion viewers.
