MyCajita

What's in the box: A themed collection of artisan-made Mexican goods that can mix food and drink items with home decor, fashion or art pieces.

MyCajita calls itself the first subscription box of México, and it covers more than snacks and candy. Its boxes are expert curated and themed, with artisan-made goods spanning home decor, food, fashion and art. Current themes include a Day of the Dead box, an Aguas Frescas box, a Salud box, a Vino box, a Mañanita box and a Paseo box. Food and drink are part of the mix, but if you only want Mexican candy, expect a lot more than that. Joining is free, and you only pay for the boxes you keep. Each month you can customize, switch or skip your box, and there is no long-term commitment, although some boxes may require a three-box minimum. Prices start as low as $45 for members, and non-members pay $70 or more. Members also get low flat-rate shipping and a discount on shop items, and orders of $149 or more ship free. The company says it works with artisans and boutique businesses to help build their trade and communities, which may matter to you if you care where products come from. The site does not list exactly what goes into each theme, so check the box page before you order. Overall it is a flexible, gift-friendly way to explore Mexican and Latin American culture, but it costs more than a typical snack box.
