How exciting is it to receive a package in the mail? I just love getting boxes filled with unique, specially curated items that I haven’t seen or purchased before. And knowing that my purchase of the box helped the company give back? Well, that’s just icing on the cake!

Here are some monthly subscription companies that give back. They deliver unique products as well as a sense of well-being and purpose. Your subscription to these companies is helping make a positive impact to society. I’ll be sure to add to this list, so check back often!

Oh, and don’t forget, these also make great gifts.
