The 20 Best Subscription Boxes For Moms That Love A Thoughtful Gift

Your favorite fruit fanatic will be enamored with Harry & David’s Mother’s Day Fruit-Of-The-Month Club. Choose between four or six months of fresh deliveries (the four-month version costs $150, while six months is $185), starting with an extra special package to celebrate Mother’s Day in May. In addition to five juicy Royal Verano pears, she’ll receive a sweet snack assortment courtesy of Harry & David’s Mother’s Day Tower of Treats gift. After that, she’ll open her door to find a different fruit-filled package each month, ranging from peaches to cherries to mangoes.

An ideal gift for any mom who likes to host or enjoy a nice solo spread during happy hour, a subscription to one of the Murray’s Cheese clubs will introduce her to some of her favorite new flavors. The Cheese Explorer’s Club, in particular, is a great starting point, delivering a monthly assortment of unique 2.5-pound blocks of the good stuff as well as one club-exclusive item, plus fun facts and expert tips. Sign her up for three, six or twelve mouthwatering months.

Sure, upon first glance, tinned fish may seem a bit niche. But over the past year, oily cans of tuna, mackerel, clams and more have become quite trendy in their own right. Lata’s Monthly Discovery Box will satisfy any luxury tinned fish connoisseur, packing in a selection of four flavorful options hailing from Spain and Portugal (think: cuttlefish in its own ink, stickleback in pickled sauce, spiced sardines in tomato sauce). A hassle-free, delicious delight—and all Mom has to do is open a can to enjoy.

Anyone who has had the privilege of trying a Levain cookie knows that they’re insanely popular for a reason. Naturally, there’s nothing sweeter than signing your favorite mom up to receive a shipment of eight freshly-baked, decadent treats every month, courtesy of the Levain Cookie Club. She’ll get early access to brand new seasonal flavors before they’re available to the public, as well as monthly shipment reminders including info about the upcoming assortment. She’ll even have the option to choose a different selection if the current flavor mix isn’t to her liking.

For the mom whose sweet tooth knows no bounds, Magnolia Bakery’s Pudding of the Month Club will be the ultimate gift. She’ll receive a recurring care package from the beloved New York City institution, filled with a rotating selection of banana pudding flavors (three classic cups are included, plus three limited-edition offerings), as well as a special surprise monthly treat. Delivery dates are flexible, and you can subscribe for three, six or twelve months.

Moms love chocolate; it’s just a universal fact. And because she deserves the best of the best, surprise her with a Chocolate of the Month Club subscription from Compartés. She’ll receive a monthly selection of seasonal, handmade confections, starting with an aptly-themed Mother’s Day collection in May. Knowing that she’ll have uniquely flavored chocolate bars and truffles to look forward to each month after that, she’ll be happy as can be.

The wine lover in your life will be simply chuffed to receive a wine subscription from Firstleaf. All she has to do is answer a quick questionnaire about her vino preferences—or if you’re familiar with her blends of choice, you can probably do this for her—and she’ll receive a box of six (or twelve) bottles specifically catered to her palate. If she ever receives a wine that she doesn’t enjoy, Firstleaf will credit that amount back to her account and because shipping policies are flexible, she can choose when her package will arrive. With the classic plan (there are three others: preferred, premier and fine wine), each box of six wines costs $90 plus shipping, but you’ll get the first box for $45. Cheers to that.

A wine-tasting subscription is perfect for the mom who always opens a bottle of wine, never to finish it before it’s gone bad. Vinebox caters specifically to those who enjoy the wine-tasting experience, sending out a different sommelier-curated collection of six 100ml vials each month. The wine itself is accompanied by tasting notes and pairing recommendations, and she’ll also have access to sommelier-led virtual tasting videos and events. Monthly subscriptions are available, although Vinebox suggests opting for a three- or six-month prepaid subscription when given as a gift.

Most moms run on coffee, and upgrading her morning caffeine routine is a great way to show how much you care. Available in three, six or twelve month increments, Atlas Coffee Club’s gift subscriptions will take her on an international sipping journey, bringing roasts from over 50 countries right to her kitchen. She’ll discover gourmet and exotic blends as she receives a monthly delivery from a new place. And in addition to giving the standard choice between ground or whole bean, Atlas now offers the option of ordering its rotating flavors in K-Cup and Nespresso pod form.

If you’re shopping for a mom who takes her coffee very seriously, rest assured that Trade Coffee doesn’t mess around (it’s a top pick in our best coffee subscriptions story, after all). The brand partners with more than 55 roasting companies around the country to offer its members over 450 varieties of craft coffee, which are narrowed down based on personal preferences after taking an introductory quiz. Your favorite coffee-loving mom can receive deliveries every week, month or somewhere in between.

For the beauty-loving mom, you can’t go wrong with an Allure Beauty Box subscription. Tested and approved by the editors at Allure, each package includes a curated mix of six or more hair, makeup and skincare products (with at least three of those being full-size) valued at $100 minimum. She’ll also get exclusive access to—and major discounts on—limited-edition boxes, which are similarly filled with products from the luxury brands she loves and small brands she has yet to discover. Choose from a monthly, quarterly or annual subscription to elevate her routine well beyond Mother’s Day—and be sure to use the code WELCOME at checkout for extra savings.

Perfume and Mother’s Day go hand-in-hand. But instead of giving her one pricey full-size bottle or set this year, treat your mom to a rotating range of fragrances for months to come. Scentbird offers a three-, six- or twelve-month gift subscription, and all three are on sale now through May 14. Once you purchase, she’ll receive an email and be prompted to take a quiz about her fragrance preferences. After that, she’ll be shipped miniature spray bottles of scents from luxury designers like Versace, Marc Jacobs and Prada, and each one will perfectly slot into the sleek case that comes with her first delivery.

A busy mom may not always have time to go shopping, but if she has a few minutes to browse through designer handbags and jewelry online every month, then she’ll absolutely make the most of a Vivrelle membership. The subscription gives her access to a colorful and incredibly chic closet of luxury accessories, from which she can select one item of her choice to keep for 30 days (or two items, if you’re willing to splurge on the Couture+ subscription). If she ever borrows something that she just can’t give up, she can hold onto it until she’s ready to part ways—and if that day never comes, Vivrelle offers special members-only pricing to purchase any item that she isn’t willing to swap.

A clothing rental subscription is a practical choice for any busy mom, and no matter what her schedule entails, a subscription to Nuuly will have her covered. For each monthly box, she can select six trendy pieces from hundreds of brands like Anthropologie, Farm Rio and Favorite Daughter. Nuuly handles the logistics (laundry, shipping labels), so all she has to do is wear her new outfits on repeat before sending them back after four weeks—unless she decides to purchase them directly from Nuuly, which is also an option. There’s also plenty of maternity wear, should you be shopping for a mom-to-be.

The Bouqs Co. is hard to beat when it comes to bouquet quality. The farm-fresh florals look incredibly expensive, but in reality, they’re actually very reasonably-priced (and what mom wouldn’t love to know about a great deal?). Choose your preferred delivery frequency and arrangement size—there are three tiers, so you can send anywhere between 10 and 40 stems per bouquet. Subscribers can also view upcoming selections and swap for something else, so the pickiest mom should always be pleased, whether she’s in the mood to have something seasonal on display or would prefer a more classic floral mix.

Make sure Mom always has a fresh bunch on the table by surprising her with a BloomsyBox flower subscription. Featuring around 20 farm fresh seasonal stems, the Bloomsy Original costs just $60 a month—including shipping—and each delivery features a different bouquet than the last. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, there’s also a New York Botanical Garden Subscription for $100 a month with blooms sourced from the finest sustainable flower farms in the world.

One of the first subscription boxes on the scene, FabFitFun continues to roll out one trend-forward product assortment after the next. And that’s what makes it a great gift. The seasonal boxes are all about variety (recent offerings have included a Glossier makeup bundle, a chic pickleball set, Living Proof dry shampoo and a set of mugs), and members can fully customize each box with six products of their choice across the beauty, fashion, fitness, wellness and home categories. While valued at over $200, each box will only set you back $70—but if you opt for the annual plan, that number goes down to only $55 per delivery.

For the mom who always has a candle burning, a subscription to a service like Scent will go a long way. She won’t receive just any old options here; instead, she’ll complete a scent profile quiz and have only curated candles that fit her fragrance preferences delivered to her door. From brands including Amoln, Nette, Sana Jardin and more, the design-led offerings also happen to be quite chic, so the innovative scents will leave her space looking and smelling lovely.

Shopping for a mom who likes to cook and has a green thumb? Gardenuity is about to become her new favorite thing. The brand’s customized experiences include the Herb Garden subscription, which will set her up to receive three seasonal plant deliveries of fully-rooted herbs for a year of harvests. She’ll get unlimited access to Gardenuity's Grow Pro—including weather alerts, watering and feeding reminders, plant care and harvest help and seasonal recipes—as well as a kit with everything she needs for her container garden to thrive (a reusable grow bag with critter cover, a spray bottle, plant nutrients and more). All she’ll have to provide is the TLC.

Whether her kids are in diapers or she’s an empty nester, a mom is never really off the clock. If she’s been talking about taking some “me” time by picking up a new hobby, Mindhappy’s Spark Box is a great place to start. Each month, she’ll receive a mystery box filled with a different creative activity, encouraging her to try her hand at new hobbies while simultaneously taking some alone time to unwind. Self-discovery projects that she can look forward to range from loom weaving to clay sculpting, and she’ll never know what kind of fun she’s in for until she opens the box.
