Top 10 Canadian Subscription Box Services Based Out of Vancouver

As a Vancouver lifestyle blogger, I am regularly mailed packages of products for review. There’s a joy to receiving a notification from my concierge, knowing that I’ll be coming home to a box full of goodies which I can then test out, play around with, sometimes eat or drink, and then share my opinions on.  Even though I’ve been blogging on Modern Mix Vancouver (and receiving packages) for nearly 8 years, the joy of receiving something new in the mail, is always so exciting.

For a non-blogger, subscribing to a “subscription box service” offers the same joy and excitement of discovering new products by mail on a regular basis.

Although every subscription box service is a little different, the general premise is this: on a regular basis, you are postal mailed a box full of goodies from a subscription box service you subscribe to.  From loose-leaf tea (ie. Amoda Tea or Tea Sparrow) to stationary (ie. Q&A Letterbox), to monthly packages specifically curated for babies or pets (ie. Meowbox), it’s always a delight to excitedly rip open that new package, and see what’s inside.

Some subscription boxes let you pick exactly what you want (ie. The Juice Box), some let you customize for age (ie. Wee Nation), personal preference (ie. Ellebox) or dietary restrictions (ie. Naked Snacks), some offer sneak peeks on social media (ie. White Willow), while for others, the items inside are always a surprise (ie. Vancity Box).
