The best subscription boxes for travel and outdoor lovers. These boxes are full of sustainable and fair trade items to get you inspired to travel and get out into the outdoors.
We may not be traveling much right now, or spending much time on the trails but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t feel like we are. Connect yourself with the world and the outdoors with these great travel and outdoor inspired subscription boxes. Airport lines not included.
Here are the best subscription boxes for travel and outdoor adventure lovers.

The Nomadik box is the best subscription box for hikers, campers and backpackers. Each box is personally curated with you in mind and full of high quality outdoor gear that you won’t find at your local retailers. Each box has a theme, outdoor tips, a unique outdoor challenge and discounts for purchasing more gear from the included brands.

In my first monthly box from Nomadik I received the summer readiness box which came with an 11-1 multi tool, solar powered pocket sized lantern perfect for camping and night hikes, a survival tool which included compass, thermometer, whistle and fire starter and some snacks. Everything I need to get ready to hit the summer trails. My favorite month so far though has been the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Box. This monthly box came with items from 3 of my favorite sustainable outdoor brands. An Eco wash Bag from LEUS which is perfect for travel and backpacking, a United by Blue packable tote and some Coalatree socks.
The Nomadik box is the perfect monthly subscription box for outdoor lovers and makes a great gift as well. For a limited time you can win a subscription as well as get 10% off all subscriptions with my unique code ALICESADVENTURES.

The subscription box for travel lovers who want unique hand crafted items. A few months of this box and your friends will think you traveled the world since they last visited you. The Globe In World boc is curated with hand made items from artisans, artists, metal workers, potters, weavers and designers from small communities all over the world. It’s like a world tour in a box and I think you will absolutely love what you find inside.


My first month of Globe In I received the Amore box which was full of hand made kitchen items from India, Mexico and Africa. Each box features a recipe and has a unique theme, my last one was having a pizza party. Each month you get to select the box that speaks to you most or be surprised. Globe In also sells individual items from some of the 10,000 artisans they work with around the world. You can get 50% off your first 3 month subscription box by using the code ALICEFORD at checkout.

Hygge (pronounced who-gah) is a Scandinavian obsession with coziness and after several trips last year to Sweden and Norway, I am hooked on all things from Scandinavia. In a place where seasons are extreme and winters are long and dark these boxes are full of cozy items to get you through hard days. The boxes will arrive with items like comfy slippers, candles, tea and other simple pleasures. Each box comes with 5-7 items and part of the price of purchase goes to help reforestation.

This Explore Local box from Crate Joy is just $39 a month and is full of locally made artisan products and food from US cities. Each month features a new city with locally produced items made by small businesses and artisans, as well as fun facts about the city. These are great for all of us that want to travel and learn more about US cities from the comfort of home.
