8 Subscription Boxes That Make Perfect Father's Day Gifts

Father's Day gifts tend to follow a pretty time-tested formula of polo shirts, neckties, or something golf-related that'll eventually be shoved in a drawer, never to see the light of day again. This year, indulge your dad's interests and hobbies by signing him up for a monthly delivery box exclusively filled with the stuff he loves. From unique national parks collectibles to beard-care essentials, here are eight gift boxes for dads of all tastes.

1. Vinyl Moon; Starts at $23/month

If your dad is a music purist who only listens to his favorite albums on vinyl, then sign him up for Vinyl Moon. Each month, he'll receive a curated mix of music from 10 new artists pressed into a single colored record in a custom-designed jacket. Members can also get discounts and free shipping from their store for additional records. Vinyl Moon has three different membership levels you can choose from based on how long you want the service. Make sure to use the code VMNEW04 at checkout for a special discount.

2. Loot Crate DX; Starts at $50/month

When it comes to shopping for sci-fi and fantasy fans, Loot Crate is the way to go. Though the company's original box comes with three to four collectibles, the DX comes with six to seven different pieces valued at over $75. Last month’s theme was “Intergalactic,” featuring premium pieces of gear from shows and movies like E.T., Alien, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek. This is the perfect service for any dad who can't get enough collectibles.

3. National Parks Subscription Box; Starts at $34/month

If your dad has a list of national parks he'd love to see, this subscription box will help with his wanderlust. Each month, he’ll receive a newspaper filled with different facts about a specific park, along with a vintage postcard or ticket, stickers, and a limited-edition wooden souvenir painting of a popular location in the park (can you spot the two hidden cats in each one?). Boxes are also filled with other unique goodies like snacks, recipes, and magnets. The company donates 10 percent of its profits to help preserve the U.S. national parks, and if you use the code PARKHIKE, you'll get a five-percent discount at checkout.
