Whether you’re shopping for a fabulously freaky friend or just love all things offbeat and quirky (like me!), I have a treat for you today. From surreal to bizarre to just plain curious, I found you some of best weird subscription boxes ever. Enjoy!

Strange & Weird Subscription Boxes

As usual, I have a few quick notes. First, when I say “weird,” I am NOT poking fun at anyone’s tastes. I’ve been an offbeat oddball my entire life and I’m very proud of it. Mundanity is so boring. I’ll take the bizarre, surreal, peculiar, and every other synonym for “strange” any day. 😀

Second, this post includes affiliate links (because even us eccentrics have to make a living). If you buy anything through them, I get a small kickback at no extra cost to you. Speaking of cost, those listed below are current as of today and may change.

Last, I tried to include unboxing videos when I could find them, so you can get a closer look at a sample box.

1. Quirky Crate

Quirky Crate is kind of what inspired me to write about weird subscription boxes in the first place (well that, and it came up as a keyword when I was doing research). The award-winning box (USA Today voted it the #1 lifestyle subscription box of 2020) is full of wonderfully wacky stuff, including items from indie artists.

As far as the “weird factor” goes, I’d categorize this more on the “slightly offbeat” side. In other words, it’s not too far out there.

Unfortunately, as of this 2025 update, it seems like she’s not selling subscription boxes anymore. However, since she inspired this post, I did a little searching and found her Etsy shop, where you can get just about everything that you would in the crate.

2. The Oddball Club

The name is actually styled in all lowercase (the oddball club), which in and of itself makes it a bit offbeat. Like the Quirky Crate, this one isn’t super weird, but it’s definitely fun for a zany friend.

• What you get in each box:  4-10 fun offbeat gifts, including stickers, journals, candy and more
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $20+ a month
• Options: Three sizes, including a micro, medium, and VIP-sized box.

3. Beyond Bounds Book Box

If your bookshelf is already overflowing but your imagination isn’t, Beyond Bound Books is the delightfully quirky escape you didn’t know you needed. Each box goes beyond the pages with themed trinkets, candles, bookmarks, and other story-inspired goodies that bring fictional worlds to life. Perfect for dreamers, adventurers, and anyone who thinks reading should be a full-sensory experience.

• What you get in each box: 5+ full-size bookish items sourced from small businesses and artisans.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $34.58+ a month

4. Monthly Earring Mania

Monthly Earring Mania is perfect for teens who love quirky jewelry. Each month, they’ll receive two unique pairs of earrings featuring themes like animals, food, and hobbies. This box is a playful way to explore new styles, all with a no-repeat guarantee.

• What you get in each box: 2 pairs of themed earrings and occasional surprise goodies
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $10.00+

5. Matter

If your idea of “cool stuff” includes fossils, meteorites, and weirdly wonderful science specimens, Matter is your kind of quirky. Think of it as a science museum in a box—each month brings authentic treasures like dinosaur teeth, crystals, and space rocks, all with research cards that make you feel like a real explorer.

• What you get in each box: 3–5 authentic specimens or artifacts with detailed info cards.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $34.46+

6. Horror Plus Box Book Club

This one is pricy, but very cool! If your idea of a good time involves goosebumps and late-night page-turning, the Horror Plus Box is deliciously creepy in all the right ways. This bi-monthly box delivers three brand-new horror books, eerie collectibles, a spooky drink to sip while you read, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content from the authors themselves. Perfect for fans who live for chills, thrills, and a touch of the macabre.

• What you get in each box: 3 new horror books, a hot drink, a tarot card, plus extras
• Frequency: Bi-Monthly
• Cost: $119.04

7. ForensiKit

If you’ve always wanted to play a CSI agent but don’t think you could handle being at an actual crime scene (I’d toss my cookies for sure), this one’s for you.

Each box comes with REAL forensic science gear that the experts use in the field. Past boxes have included things like fingerprinting kits, footprint casting, evidence photography kits, and more.

• What you get in each box: A real forensic kit, “evidence,” and a mystery to solve.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $39.99+ a month

8. Cryptid Crate Monthy Subscription Box 

The Cryptid Crate is perfect for anyone who believes in Bigfoot or just finds cryptozoology fascinating. I fall somewhere in the middle. While I’m not sure if I believe in Bigfoot and what not, I accept that we just don’t know exactly what is out there in this great big world of ours. Real or not, though, I do enjoy reading about weird creatures.

Per their description, “Expect a carefully curated package filled with creeptastic pieces from indie makers and artisans pertaining to bigfoot, sasquatch, UFOs, ghosts, and other cryptid and mysterious creatures.”

• What you get in each box: 4 to 7 items per box, including t-shirts, books, home decor, and more
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $40+ a month

9. Bats & Bones Box

Unlike the previous box with “bone” in the title, this one doesn’t actually come with any animal remains. Instead, it’s packed full of wonderfully creepy items around a spooky theme. Past boxes include things like Carnival (carnivals definitely creep me out), Black Cats (not so spooky, but still cool), and Bloody Valentine.

This box sells out quite often, so if it’s not available right now, check back.

• What you get in each box: A “collection of home goods, décor, jewelry, stationary, bath/beauty, and candles” from small businesses.  
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $30+ a month

10. Le Noir Bazaar Box

Le Noir Bazaar translates to the Dark Market (actually, “black market,” but that term’s etymology is dubious and even if it’s not rooted in racism it’s definitely has a fairly negative connotation). So, this box is filled with things you’d expect to find at an offbeat witchy flea market (which is my kind of bazaar).

• What you get in each box: 5-8, including jewelry, accessories, journals, pens, and other “Gothic Bohemian & Witchy goodies.”
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: It’s currently sold out, so I’m not sure, but on their website they sell them for about $45-50 a box.

That about covers all of the weird subscription boxes that I could find on Cratejoy (my favorite sub box shop since you can manage all of them in one spot). As always, make sure you keep an eye above the “subscribe now” box for coupon codes. 😀
