The Best Black Friday Subscription Boxes (2022)

Posted by Shannon Ratliff

The biggest shopping day of the year is just around the corner! At Cratejoy, we think of gifts a little differently. It's not just a gift wrapped in paper, it's an experience. We hear it more and more: something unexpected, unique, or delightful. Subscription boxes are that unexpected box of joy, and with so many amazing curators offering unique experiences, we want to show you just how special these trending boxes are for the holiday season.

This year, Cratejoy is celebrating with three sales to kick off the holiday season. Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. To get up-to-date information on all three of these sales, make sure to sign up for our newsletter which can be accessed at the bottom of the page.

Without further ado, here are our favorite retailers and the best subscription boxes on Cratejoy offering spectacular Black Friday sales.

“I have been getting Finders Seekers boxes for over a year, and I cannot lie, I'm obsessed. The mysteries are a lot of fun, and they are so much fun to do with friends, especially those that haven't done something like this before. Occasionally, the puzzles are evil (I'm looking at you, Paris box!), but the fact that after a year they can still challenge me is a good thing.” - Rachel C.
