There are tons of wellness subscription boxes out there. Whether you’re searching for a box for a friend or loved one, or you’re looking for a gift for yourself on a routine basis, it’s a good idea to think about goals and preferences.

Do you enjoy a particular activity? Want to learn to cook? Need a way to slow down and pamper yourself?

Take the time to do the research and compare boxes of similar themes. Many companies also offer one-time boxes, which allows you to test out the box before subscribing.

Keep in mind, too, the total cost of the box versus the estimated value of the items. You might want to check and see what customers have to say about the box (or look at examples of past boxes) to help you decide whether the box is worth the price.

Also, keep in mind that shipping usually costs extra. This can be a significant expense depending on where you’re located.

Lastly, take a minute to read the fine print before clicking “add to cart.” It’s a good idea to make sure you know what the cancellation process is just in case the box doesn’t end up working out.

Subscription boxes are the gift that keeps on giving. Whatever your hobby or interest, there’s bound to be a box out there for you. Pay attention to the pricing and how your subscription is scheduled when searching.
