These sustainable home subscription boxes cover everything from decor and flowers to recycling and DIY!
By Bec Gregory
Supporting ethical subscription boxes is a fabulous way to find earth-friendly alternatives for your home. It can also help you to discover niche brands, and support small businesses and artisans. Plus, the surprise and delight of unboxing carefully curated items just for you is super enjoyable!
They’re great value for money, too, offering significant savings compared to buying each item individually. And they’re delivered straight to your door, saving you time and effort.
Sending an annual subscription box as a gift is also a great idea. This lets someone dear to you know that you care about them throughout the year. Which is why they’re particularly excellent for loved ones you don’t get to see as often as you would like. In short, giving or receiving a subscription box is a joy!
Here below, our picks of the best subscription boxes for your home stand out for their beauty, value for money, and commitment to sustainability.
