We love to give subscriptions almost as much as we like to receive them, but sometimes you need a really great gift that doesn't come with a monthly or quarterly commitment. Thankfully, many of our favorite subscriptions offer great one-time-purchase boxes, too! Check out our 2016 picks below for limited edition and one-time purchase boxes that make excellent holiday gifts for the men in your life!
Limited Edition Birchbox Man Kits
Starting at $48
What’s in the box: There are Limited Edition Birchbox Man Boxes geared toward all sorts of men's interests and styles. One of our favorites from earlier this year is Man On The Move, a dopp kit filled with essentials designed with the jetsetter in mind -- but we think it's a great pick for college students, too!
Interested in subscribing instead? For $20 a month, Birchbox Man is a monthly grooming and lifestyle subscription box for men. Each month, you’ll receive 3-4 sample size items to try along with another lifestyle item that you can select. The selection process opens about a month before shipping and, typically, allows you to pick 1 of 3 selection items.
Plus, use coupon code HELLO to save 10% off either a shop purchase or subscription at Birchbox!
