6 Subscription Boxes Perfect for the Spa Lover
One of the best ways to ensure that you practice self-care this year comes in the shape of a box—a subscription box, that is. Automate wellness into your life (in addition to a standing appointment at your favorite spa) by subscribing to a monthly delivery box to incorporate at-home products for the mind, body, and soul.
There are countless boxes on the market with something for everyone. Read on for six options that are ideal for the self-care, spa-loving guy or gal. Need a great gift? Send a box (or a few months’ worth) to a friend to score eternal brownie points!
1. TheraBox
Curated by therapists, Therabox was created to give subscribers a healthy dose of wellness every month. Each box includes a happiness activity meant to be practiced throughout the month or longer, as well as 6-8 full-size products ranging from aromatherapy and natural/organic body to skin care and lifestyle picks.
A sample box sent to us included an interactive self-love workbook and pen, a lip scrub, eye cream and facial mask, a handmade soy candle, selection of tea, and a necklace.
Cost: $34.99 month-to-month

2. BeautyFix
Do you love facials and find yourself scanning the skincare shelves at the spa? If so, Dermstore’s BeautyFix is for you. Since Dermstore is known for serving a skin-savvy client base, it’s no surprise their monthly box is heavy in professional skincare products, along with hair and makeup picks, handpicked by their team of beauty pros.
Each box contains six or more full and travel-size products valued at over $100. A sample box sent to us had dietary supplements, two kinds of facial serums, cleansing face wash, day cream, a moisture mask, and a silk scrunchie.
Cost: $24.95 monthly subscription

3. Hint
Drinking your day’s water quota is easy at the spa because it’s delicious and usually infused with different types of fruit to keep you hydrated and happy. Bring the luxury of spa-quality H2O to your front door with a subscription to Hint, a collection of unsweetened flavored water. Still, sparkling, and caffeinated options are available in a large variety of flavors including watermelon, pomegranate, and blackberry.
Customize your delivery frequency and water options to your liking or choose the “flavor of the month bundle” option for seasonal delights. We were lucky to try a selection. Our favorite flavor? Honey crisp apple!
Cost: $16.99-$46.99+

4. BathBlessing
The word “spa” originates from the Latin phrase “salus per aquam” or “health from water.” The healing benefits of water are numerous and one of the easiest ways to experience spa-like relaxation at home begins with a soak in the tub. BathBlessing’s box features monthly bath products including luxury bar soap, body scrubs, salts, body butters, bath bombs, shower steamers, and more.
Their Sanctuary Box features 5-8 items, often boasting natural and anti-aging ingredients, along with relaxation and inspirational tips. Specialty boxes with themes like ‘birthday’ and “gentleman’s survival crate’ can be purchased anytime, which makes gift-giving easy. A sample box sent to us included bar soap, bath salts, body scrub, bath bubbles, bath bombs, body oil, and dried flowers.
Cost: $39.99 month-to-month

You’re able to customize each order, add on items, or keep it a complete surprise.
The site has membership perks, including discounted products and FabFitFun TV for recipes, workouts, and guru advice. A sample box sent to us included a cozy blanket and slippers, hair detangler, face cream, bath salts, moisturizing hand mittens, an embellished necklace, and makeup eraser.

Spa lovers and yogis are often cut from the same cloth with a focus on breath, attention to the body, and clarity of the mind. BuddhiBox is a mixture of beauty products and yoga accessories all centered around a monthly theme to help deepen your yoga practice and reconnect you with divine bliss. Not only are the 4-6 full-size products organic and cruelty-free, they often come from artisans in India or from women-owned businesses.
