    Best Overall

    Universal Yums Snack Box

    Stuck on which box to get? Make it this one. Universal Yums has small, medium, and large boxes, with snacks arriving from a different country each month. My first box was filled with goodies from France, and it came with a booklet packed with information on the snacks, games, trivia, and more. It's a really good option for snackers with kids, though if you're kidless it's still nice to read through the booklet while you're munching. My France-themed box came with these strawberry candies that changed my life (and thankfully, you can order them or any other snacks à la carte). The prices are palatable too—the smallest box costs $17 per month, or $15 per month if you purchase annually.

    Best for Meat Eaters

    Carnivore Club Snack Box

    Carnivore Club snack boxes are all about the jerky. You might get classic options like beef jerky, but other possible additions include things like turkey jerky and venison sticks. Flavors run the gamut. My box had everything from serrano pepper to maple barbecue, but past boxes have included chipotle lime, sesame teriyaki, and so much more. This box has good value; despite the shipping fees, you'll still save cash in the long run if you're frequently buying $10 bags of jerky at the store. And you have options to choose from, like buying a box every other month or every three months instead of monthly. There's also a $40 Classic Box you can get, which includes four to six premium cured meats, from prosciutto to bacon, and more.

    Best for Custom Quantities

    MunchPak Snack Box

    MunchPak lets you choose how many items you get per month. You can opt for a minimum of five snacks, which is smaller than the smallest size most other services offer, but 10+ and 20+ snack sizes are available as well. That makes it a good option for solo snackers (you lucky ducks) or big families where a few snacks just won't be enough to feel satisfied.

    This service also has a smartphone app that lets you see your snacking history, so if a few months down the road you find yourself craving “that one crunchy thing from that one snack box,” you'll be able to look back and see exactly what it was. MunchPak ships treats from various countries too. Ever wanted to try Wasabi Cheese Cheetos? This box can make it happen—but be warned, you will not be able to stop eating them.

    Best Japanese Box

    TokyoTreat Snack Box

    There are a lot of Japan-themed snack boxes, and for good reason. Japan has some of the quirkiest snacks out there. (Tomato-flavored chocolates, anyone?) I like TokyoTreat the most, as it covers the whole spectrum, offering sweet, spicy, and salty treats. The snacks are generous in size too. I was able to share the contents of my TokyoTreat box with five other people. But it's pricey, running you $38 per month if you don't subscribe annually. It also has longer shipping times than some of the other boxes on this list.

    Each box comes with dagashi (which is similar to penny candy), a DIY candy kit, and several other snacks. Mine had a bag of sakura-flavored Kit-Kats, which were my favorite, but really, every snack inside was awesome. You can also “activate” your box by confirming delivery each month, which will earn things like discounts and giveaway entries.
