Updated by Timothy Paradis
For the times when you’re low on cash, but still want a great subscription delivered to your doorstep, the Cratejoy marketplace has you covered with some of the best subscription boxes for under $20. Whether you want deluxe samples of high-end skincare products, minimalist home decor, a book club, or a monthly delivery of small-batch snacks, our boxes will speak for themselves!
While there is no such thing as a free subscription, cheap subscription options are a great entry point to trying new products like stylist curated accessories, high-quality spices and loose-leaf tea blends. There's no need to spend the big bucks when you can get a monthly subscription box filled with luxe K-beauty products, sheet masks or adorable succulents.
What You’ll Get: Treat yourself with FaceTory, a K-beauty subscription box filled with a new set of sheet masks every month. If you’re not familiar with K-beauty, this subscription box will introduce you to some of the best products curated by self-described “sheet mask junkies.” It’s also really affordable — just under $12 a month — so if you’re hesitant to make the leap into a new beauty routine, you won’t have to worry about breaking the bank.
Shipping: We ship our boxes within 1-4 days of receiving the order.
