1. Wildgrain

With a Wildgrain subscription, you can enjoy fresh-baked bread at your convenience. The frozen, parbaked items in your box bake in 25 minutes or under. Not only can you enjoy artisanal breads, but you can also sample pastries and pastas from the best small bakeries in the U.S. Your subscription also helps fund charity with a donation to The Greater Boston Food Bank.

2. Bunny James

Food gifting for people with special diets can be difficult, but don't despair: Bunny James hops to the rescue with subscription boxes by "food tribe." Vegan, keto, food allergies—Bunny James has a box for it. You can also shop by occasion to get the perfect snack package for holidays or your office.

3. TokyoTreat

A perfect gift for Japanophiles, TokyoTreat gives customers a taste of modern Japanese life with new food items in each snack box. These unique items run the taste gamut—sweet, savory and sour—including unique flavors of limited-edition snacks. Whether you use a translator app or go the mystery-tasting route, you're in for a (Tokyo) treat.

4. Shaker & Spoon

For home bartenders looking to "mix" up their cocktail routine, the Shaker & Spoon subscription is the answer bar none. Each month, subscribers receive three recipes from expert mixologists along with the ingredients (minus the alcohol) needed to prepare them. A heads-up email arrives prior to your package with alcohol recommendations, a bar tool list and other helpful tidbits.

5. Burlap & Barrel Spice Club

What happens in Spice Club will have everyone talking—about how flavorful your dishes have become. With Burlap & Barrel's subscription service you receive a quarterly installment of four different spices, each derived directly from a single small farm. Your box also includes a treat made in collaboration with another food company and recipes to get you started with your new spices.

6. ButcherBox

This subscription service really gets down to the meat of the matter. ButcherBox offers high-quality protein to suit any taste, whether it's free-range chicken, grass-fed beef or wild-caught seafood. You can also opt for boxes built around a theme, such as grilling season or stocking up your freezer for winter.

7. Goldbelly

A favorite of foodies, Goldbelly prides itself on delivering the best of the best in their subscription boxes. Subscribers can enjoy unique selections from around the United States based on a particular theme (ice cream, barbecue or bacon to name a few) or a best-of box that includes a tasty variety.

8. Vermont Wagyu

A family-run farm specializing Wagyu breeding, Vermont Wagyu offers a subscription box that allows you to enjoy three to four cuts of premium beef on repeat. Quarterly boxes also include burgers or sausages and guest products from local cheesemongers, spice specialists and more. Boxes are seasonally tailored to give you a special experience.

9. Stonewall Kitchen

Known for their specialty food baskets and quality home goods, Stonewall Kitchen lets customers enjoy the same fine products on a four- or eight-week recurring cycle. Best of all, a subscription earns you a 10% discount, and it's easy to skip a shipment or change up your order.

10. Murray's Cheese Clubs

If you've ever wanted to feel like the big cheese, Murray's has you covered with several different subscriptions that deliver three different half-pound varieties, each hand-picked by their in-house connoisseurs.
