Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It: We appreciate Hemp Crate Co’s dedication to transparency and educating its customers about CBD. 

What We Like

• Education component
• Range of products
• Different subscription types
• Affordable compared to other subscriptions

What We Don’t Like

• Customers have complained about lack of variety

The founders of Hemp Crate Co aim to provide transparency and education for their customers, two things they believe the CBD industry is lacking. The company does that by partnering with brands that source organic and independently lab-tested products, in addition to including informative brochures and infographics in each subscription box. The educational aspect carries over into Hemp Crate Co’s blog which covers topics like whether or not CBD can help insomnia and why athletes should be using it.

Subscribers select from five different boxes. The affordable Tincture 'N Treat box includes one CBD treat and one tincture for about $30 a month. The four other boxes start at about $50 a month. Options include the Health & Wellness box with items to help relax and restore the mind and body, and Furry Friends which incluses goodies for cats or dogs. All boxes include full-size products along with on-the-go items that range from sleep sprays and capsules to pet tinctures and bath bombs. These are basically products that work great for the entire household—pets included.

Why We Chose It: We love Zatural's wide range of products along with its focus on all-natural offerings and quality.

What We Like

• Good variety of products
• High quality

What We Don't Like

• Only offer their brand’s products
• Can be expensive for some

Founded and formulated by naturopathic doctor Maryann Stanger, Zatural offers something for everyone: hot creams, gummies, honey, and even CBD-infused hand sanitizer. The brand's subscription boxes are never lacking in interesting products. 

The monthly boxes offer a range of subscription types and come in two different strengths, 300mg and 1000mg (which refers to the strength of oil customers receive). Month to month, the 300mg box costs around $80 per month ($107 for 1000mg strength); a three-month subscription costs about $180 ($240 for 1000mg strength); the six-month subscription is approximately $300 ($390 for 1000mg strength); and the yearly is roughly $480 ($618 for 1000mg strength).

Each box includes four to six premium products, along with a T-shirt and sometimes a sticker or two encouraging people to “Go Natural.” Speaking of which, Zatural’s products are all-natural and don’t contain harsh chemicals, fillers, or additives.

Why We Chose It: We highlighted Cure Crate for its customizable boxes and support of cannabis criminal justice reform. 

What We Like

• Customized boxes
• Range of products
• Donates a portion of proceeds to the Last Prisoner Project

What We Don’t Like

• Product picks can be hit or miss

Cure Crate adamantly believes that CBD isn’t one-size-fits-all and sets out to gather products that meet the needs and tastes of each subscriber. “We’re generally skeptical about anything that claims to work for many different conditions like CBD does (inflammation, pain, sleep, anxiety, depression, skin health, gut health...), but the reality is that there are a wide variety of CBD products all with differing effects,” the website reads. What Cure Crate acknowledges is that everyone has different preferences and allergies, and needs different milligram doses. The company wants people to try what works for them.

Customers start out by taking a quiz to determine what type of CBD user they are (curious or connoisseur), how they prefer to take their CBD (tinctures, edibles, or topicals), whether or not they have allergies or dietary restrictions, if they like the taste of hemp, as well as how they hope CBD will help improve their lives (skin health, mood, sleep, etc.).

Customers are encouraged to review the boxes and give feedback as they go to ensure each box is curated to their liking. Boxes are about $60 a month (each is said to consist of upwards of about $130 worth of products) and include four to five full-size items. To top it off, Cure Crate also supports the Last Prisoner Project through its proceeds, a non-profit organization dedicated to cannabis criminal justice reform.

Best for an Elevated Experience: Budzy Box

Sign Up Now

Why We Chose It: We appreciate Budzy Box’s "for women by women" brand ethos and its elevated CBD offerings. 

What We Like

• Women, POC-led business
• Elevated and unique CBD offerings
• Research-backed products

What We Don’t Like

• Can be expensive

Budzy Box is all about premium CBD for millennial women and offers up a well-rounded range of products that explore a variety of categories, from fashion to lifestyle.

It has you covered from the bathroom (with CBD infused face masks and balms) to the bedroom (with CBD infused massage oil and candles) all the way to the kitchen (with products like CBD infused pancake mix and sparkling water). The company believes “science is sexy” and makes sure to include products backed by research. 

At around $59 per month, customers will also receive nuggets of CBD knowledge with each box in order to “break down stereotypes and embrace a life infused with CBD.” Through its elevated offerings, the brand hopes to dispel stigmas and raise standards by showcasing that CBD is beloved by both stoners and stylish boss women alike.
