The Best Craft Subscription Boxes

A subscription box is a service where you receive items for a monthly fee. The boxes are usually beautifully packaged and each one has a theme. Subscription box services started in 2010 with the inception of Birchbox, a makeup company that sends similarly themed makeup products once a month in a box. Since then, subscription companies selling a variety of retail items have snowballed in popularity.

If you are the type of person that loves crafting, but is short on time, a craft subscription box service might be for you. Just pay a monthly fee, and you’ll have craft projects and supplies delivered right to your door. The boxes contain everything you need to complete the craft, without any money wasted on extra supplies. The directions provided are easy to understand, and it’s a great way to try out new crafts.

Craft subscription boxes are the perfect gift for the makers in your life. Show someone how special they are by taking the time to gift a DIY project. Imagine their delight each month as they open their surprise box filled with exciting craft projects.
