The beauty of a subscription box is that it introduces you to new products you may have never thought to try. You get the excitement of opening up a package of unique items every month (happy birthday to me—again!). That’s also why a subscription box makes for a popular present — it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Signing up for a subscription box also makes online shopping super easy and convenient because the company curates a selection of the coolest new products for you, and then sets up a recurring delivery, so you are always stocked up on the latest stuff. With some, you’ll get a select group of items monthly or quarterly that you get to keep forever. While with others, you’ll be able to rent a few for a month (or however long the rental period is) and return them in exchange for brand-new pieces later. For example, some clothing subscription boxes offer a type of lending service, allowing you to always be up-to-date in all the season’s fashions (don’t worry, the company takes care of the dry cleaning). Some beauty subscription boxes will send trial sizes of products, so you can test-drive that splurge-y mascara or bold shade of lipstick before buying it, while others dole out full sizes.

These days, you can find a wide range of types beyond just fashion and makeup subscription boxes. There are food subscription boxes, gardening subscription boxes, even subscription boxes for date nights. That means it’s easier than ever to come up with a foolproof gift for everyone you know, like, say, if you’re looking for mom-themed boxes or even boxes for teens.

So whether you’re interested in treating yourself to a little delivery of fun every month or in the market for the just-right gift, you’ll want to check out our favorite picks for the best subscription boxes for women in 2023.

Best for Makeup

Ipsy Glam Bag Membership

Glam Bag Membership

Pros

  • Detailed quiz
  • Cute makeup pouches

Cons

  • Every shipment includes a new beauty bag, which can be wasteful

Ipsy’s mission is all about personalization—and when it comes to make up that’s big. Start by filling out a quiz to narrow down a curated selection of products (not just lipstick and eyeshadow, but there’s also skincare and haircare) that’s right for you, then you’ll have the option to pick five favorites to arrive in an adorable toiletry bag each month, or upgrade to the BoxyCharm plan to get five full-size products. Either way, expect an array of well-respected brands from Fenty, Benefit, Tarte, Murad and Tatcha.

Starting at: $13/month

Best For Perfume

Scentbird Subscription Box

Subscription Box

Pros

  • Lets you handpick samples
  • Helpful scent quiz

Cons

  • No full-sized products

You may have heard that scents smell different on everyone, which is why trusting a paper blotter spritzed with eau de toilette at the department store isn’t always reliable. Instead, Scentbird’s Subscription Box allows you to test perfumes at home on your own time. You can try out their bestsellers or take the quiz to access suggestions. For your first order, they’ll send a chic atomizer case along with an 8-milliliter bottle of your choosing, which is enough to last until the following month.

Starting at: $16.95/month

Best For Jewelry

Rocksbox Subscription Box

Pros

  • Unlimited pieces you can rent each month
  • Lets you preview picks and swap items
  • Monthly credit of $21 can be used towards purchasing any item

Cons

  • No fine jewelry
  • Styles may not appeal to everyone’s taste

It can get pretty pricey trying to build an accessory collection. But with Rocksbox, you can rent three pieces of on-trend jewelry, so you’ll always have something stylish to complete your look. And when you get tired of those oversized gold-plated hoops, swap them for a statement cuff. While we didn't test this jewelry service, we appreciated the broad range of styles from designers like Kate Spade and Kendra Scott and the fact that you can hold onto pieces for as long as you like and trade however often you’d like, too.

Starting at: $21/month

Best For Skincare

Dermastore BeautyFIX Subscription

Pros

  • Great value
  • Products selected by beauty pros

Cons

  • Some online reviewers noted more travel-sized picks than full-sized

While they offer makeup and haircare too, the skincare obsessed will appreciate the wide collection of serums, exfoliators, washes and creams all hand-selected by a team of dermatologists, estheticians and hairstylists, so you can feel confident you’re getting good stuff in your BeautyFIX box. Every month, you’ll receive around $100 worth of trial and full-size products from brands like Sunday Riley, Vichy, and SkinCeuticals.

Starting at: $25/month

Subscription

Pros

“You can never have too many candles.” If you’ve ever uttered those words, this subscription box is for you.

Pros

  • Inexpensive
  • Unlimited exchanges
  • Users say clothes are in great condition

Cons

  • Less variety

Blume Subscription Box

Subscription Box

Pros

  • In-depth quiz helps to get better personalized product recommendations

Cons

  • Large focus on acne and period products

Blume makes a delivery of super-practical essentials feel like a special self-care treat — after all, not having to worry about stocking up on basics like skin cleanser, deodorant and tampons and pads will free you up to focus on the things you’d rather do.

Starting at: $8/month

Cons

  • No refunds or returns after an order has been processed. Though, first-time buyers have 30 days to request a one-time complimentary reformulation

Function of Beauty operates on the idea that haircare shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Therefore, the company has designed a system that allows you to create your own customized shampoo, conditioner and other styling and treatment products that will address exactly what your hair needs based on a detailed quiz. Once you subscribe to ongoing deliveries of a product, you’ll get perks of Function With Benefits, like members-only deals and access to exclusive products.

Starting at: $19/month

Pros

  • Available in sizes 0-32
  • Unlimited swapping each month
  • Flexible plans

Cons

  • Shipments are pulled from what's available in your closet

Sometimes finding clothing that fits can be a challenge, but Gwynnie Bee makes a wide range of sizes more accessible, providing options from 0 to 32.

Pros

  • Quiz allows you tailor teas to your tastes

Cons

  • Only one size box is available

Adventurous tea drinkers will get a kick out of exploring the four different teas that come in the Personalized Tea Discovery Box. Though we didn't have the opportunity to try Sips By out, we are fans of how they stock over 150 brands from around the world, so you can sample everything from Himalayan White and Moroccan Mint to Snickerdoodle Rooibos and Chocolate Matcha.

Starting at: $16/month

Best For Workout Clothes

Fabletics VIP Membership

Pros

  • Membership exclusive pricing
  • Variety of styles available
  • Flexibility to use credit on other purchases

Cons

  • May not suit everyone's style

Think of it this way: When you have a stash of cute activewear outfits, it’s that much more of an incentive to work out. Heck, even if you just wear these to hang out, you’ll not only be comfortable but look good, too. Fabletics allows you to buy their flattering leggings, colorful bra tops, and more a la carte, but if you become a member, you unlock steeper discounts and get a stylish matching two-piece set every month. Plus, you have the option to skip a month.

Starting at: $60/month

You’ll receive as many as eight full-size products and you’ll have the chance to pick a few out. Even though we have not tried the box ourselves, one online reviewer says, " I love the variety that comes in the boxes."

Starting at: $60/quarter
