10 Best Subscription Boxes for Men UK 2024 | Post Book'd, The Gadget Discovery Club and More

Coffee just continues to grow in popularity and it's become a really serious business. So, for those who want to stay on top of the game and never lose that caffeine-induced buzz, which let's face it, is the majority of people, we'd like to introduce you to Rise Coffee. 

These guys will send you two 220-250 g bags of specialised coffee each month. Not only that, but you'll get content that includes stories of their partners, recipe books and even delicious treats. If you're a hardcore coffee fanatic and 250 g seems too meagre, they do bi-monthly options too. 

Looking for a monthly dose of nostalgia? The Retro Store has you covered. Whether you're wanting to give The Cure's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me another spin or you're wondering what all the fuss is about The Stooges, The Retro Store's vinyl subscription is a guaranteed winner for those who love music.

You'll simply pick your favourite genres and how long you want to sign up for, and from there, all you need to do is get the speakers ready – each month, three new records will turn up ready to discover. If music doesn't tickle your fancy or you want more, The Retro also subscriptions for comics, retro games and cassettes. 

Aftershave and perfumes can be expensive, and they're somewhat of a risky buy considering you get one squirt from the bottle before you have to take the plunge. Thankfully, these worries are a thing of the past with Sniph. 

All you have to do is choose the kind of collection you'd like to explore, which can be changed at any time, and then let the curators do their thing. They handpick scents from glorious perfume houses all over the world, and for £14, you'll recieve a new 8 ml bottle each month. You can then go on to purchase full sizes from the website if you wish. 

Post Book'd is another fantastic subscription that was born in 2020 as a response to the health pandemic. It is essentially a countrywide book club that focuses on putting the spotlight on writers from BAME communities, whether they're up and comers or well-established favourites. 

The real kicker though is that 15% of each subscription is used by the company to donate books to those struggling with mental health conditions or currently serving time in HMP. Another factor we loved is that at the end of the month you can meet up, virtually, and discuss the texts you have read, helping create a sense of community. 

Quite possibly one of the sweetest ideas in our whole ranking, this subscription box is all about making yourself, or whoever you're sending it to, feel better. After all, we all have bad days. In the box, you'll receive five gifts, such as some nice socks or possibly a skincare product, all designed to give the user a little pick me up. 

This subscription is more than just getting yourself or a pal a few gifts though, as the company also try to help de-stigmatise mental health and support those who live with it. If that isn't money well spent, then we don't know what is.  

Fan of hot food, hot sauces and generally all things spicy? Welcome to the UK's first hot sauce club. These guys have been ruling the roost in the subscription game since 2015, growing an assured fan base with each buyer developing into certified hot sauce aficionados. 

In the box, you'll get a selection of three sauces, chilli jams, chilli chutneys, pickles or chilli-inspired marinades. Alongside this, you'll get a spicy snack and a recipe card. There's also a vegan option available for our cruelty-free brothers, and a 10% discount for your first sign-up. 

If you or the person you're buying for is green-fingered or loves sprucing up the house, nothing does the latter like a few well-positioned plants. Nevertheless, finding the 'right' plants – and then keeping them alive – can almost be as difficult as raising and caring for a pet!

With the help of Bloom Box, things become a little more straightforward. These guys will send you green delights which arrive in pristine health and come with a pot or basket and a complete, easy-to-follow guide on how to keep them alive and thriving. You can also shop on the site for more if you get the plant bug.

The Gadget Discovery subscription is a little different to your average. Usually, companies will send you multiple objects – that way if you don't like one part of it you can hopefully enjoy the others. Not with these guys. They're so sure you're going to like what you receive that you only get one item, but, as they say in their own words, it's 'EPIC!'. 

The items can wildly vary, but to give you an idea, some of the companies they've worked alongside include Google Home, Samsung and Oral-B. But with raving reviews from popular media outlets like GQ and Digital Spy, while you might not know what you're going to get, you'll know it's going to be good. 

Instead of waiting for Christmas or a birthday, why not treat yourself or the bloke in your life to a steady re-up of exclusively-designed socks every quarter? The London Sock Exchange (great name), will deliver three classy, unique and well-made feet gloves to your door, and they'll even take your old grubby ones off you to recycle for free.

Not only will you get the socks, but you'll also get a look book advising how and what to wear with them. If the 12-month subscription seems like it'll be too many socks for you, there are also 6-month and one-off options.   

Okay, this isn't strictly a subscription box as you order one at a time. However, you could do so once a month and make it feel like it! This kit contains ingredients to prepare delicious meals from venison burgers to ramen and tacos. Plus, it's for a great cause, so there was no way we weren't going to mention it.

You see, Restaurant Kits was created in response to the global pandemic and the lockdown of the hospitality industry. Pioneered by founders Mac & Wild, they got their boxes up to speed quick-sharp, then turned their attention to helping other businesses deliver magic to your door. And boy, do they, as it's like they whipped up ingredients from Merlin's very own pantry.
