Loot Crate LINK
Monthly cost $19.95
Has themed boxes per month


Nerd Block LINK
Monthly Cost (depends on the theme, usually < $20.00 per)
You choose your own theme
Themes:
Nerd Block Jr (ages 6+)
Classic
Horror
Nerd Block Jr Girls
Comic Block
Arcade Block
(Nerd Block Jr below)



Gizmo Crate LINK
Expensive @ $50.00/month
Can be either a gadget or food box (or both)



Quarterly LINK
Depends on who you choose to fill your box.
Celebrity of your choosing (depends on your likes; IE travel, science, sports, tech...) fills a goodie box that arrives to you every QT.
Average costs are $50, $75, and $100 per box.
From looking at the pictures it seems like a place for celebs to make money on the shite that didn't sell.


1UpBoxes LINK
Similar to Lootcrate / Nerd Block
No themes to choose from. You accept what ever they send.
Is <$20.00/month



Bark Box LINK
Is $29.99/month with the option to add a premium toy for +$9
you pick your dog size and boom you're done.



The Fantasy Box LINK
Choose one of 3:
essentials, Classic, or Platinum.
Cost is up to $160



As anyone from the OT ever subscribed to any of the above or any not shown? What was your experience? I signed my son up for Nerd Block Jr and I'm signed up for Loot Crate the other day. Will advise.

the subscription box thing just seems like such lazy entrepreneurism to me.

Yeah I don't really get it either. I think it's for people who just like having and accumulating shite even if it's worthless

My wife had Birchbox for about a year, it was pretty good for a few months then we started getting the same shite so we cancelled. My SIL then gave us 6 month subscriptions for our birthdays. I am fine getting them for free, but I won't be paying for them again.
