In case you didn?t know, subscription boxes are all the rage. What?s a subscription box, you ask? (Just play along, please.) The experts at subscription box companies curate a themed box of goodies and send it to their subscribers each month. So for a monthly fee, you receive a box of swag, be it grooming supplies, fitness goods, fashion-themed items, you get the picture. Here at the Intel we will be reviewing and opening an array of boxes in our limited series UNBOXING DAY. We begin with a rundown of some of the most popular boxes available.
