Who doesn't love being able to get a foodie box?
Foodie boxes are basically monthly subscriptions where you will get a random assortment of food (and sometimes drink) items from the company that sends out these treats. Depending on the company, the contents can be going with a certain theme, a certain cuisine, or even put out treats that are seasonal (Christmas, Halloween, summer, winter, etc.)
Foodie boxes are great because you never really know what you're going to get, and that certain thrill that comes with anticipating your monthly or weekly treats is part of what makes foodie boxes fun. Another great thing about foodie boxes is that you can get food and beverage items that you would normally have a hard time getting.
Here are 10 great foodie box subscriptions that you should think about getting:
1. Universal Yums (starts at $13/month)
If you love snacking, but you're getting tired of the snacks at your local grocery stores, then sign up for the Universal Yums box. Every month, they will send you a box filled with snacks, candy bars, and other treats from around the world. One single box can net your chips from Thailand, candy bars from Switzerland, and a box of biscuits from Britain, among other goodies.
2. Hello Fresh (starts at $39/week)
Hello Fresh is somewhat a different kind of foodie box: they deliver every week, and they are filled with fresh food items that you can use to cook your meals. You get a combination of both fresh produce and meats, so you can have a varied menu.
3. Japan Crate (starts at $12/month)
Japan has a reputation for being a strange and wonderful place for food lovers, and with the Japan crate, you can taste a little bit of this wonderful weirdness no matter where you are in the world. You can get Japanese candies, chips, and even small toys.
4. Graze Box ($11.99/week)
For those who love all-natural and healthy snacking, the Graze Box is definitely the food box for you. Every box contains a delicious assortment of dried fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Perfect for a quick and healthy boost in the middle of the day.
5. Tasting Room by Lot 18 (starts at $60/every three months)
The first box from Tasting Room contains six mini-bottles of wine that you can rate on their website. With your next box, they will take your wine preferences into account (from your rating on their website), and they will send you wines that are more suited to your taste. It's like having a sommelier delivering your preferred wines to your door!
6. Moustache Coffee Club ($19/month)
Who doesn't love waking up to a fragrant cup of coffee in the morning? With the Moustache Coffee Club box, you will get a bag of freshly roasted and ground gourmet coffee delivered right to your door.

7. Mantry ($75/month, subscription can be 1, 3, or 6 months)
Even the box that this foodie box comes in is as rugged and manly as the contents themselves. Each month, subscribers will receive six to eight "manly" gourmet items, such as Buffalo Jerky, Chipotle paste, or a Bloody Mary-based BBQ sauce.
8. Love with Food ($25/month)
Simple, fresh, and organic, Love with Food sends you gluten-free and celiac-safe treats and snacks in every box. What's more, with every box ordered, the company donates two meals to an American food bank. Share the love with this foodie box.
