Why We Chose It: For quality, variety, and value, no one does a better dessert box than Phivi.

Phivi (pronounced fee-vee) is a slightly mysterious outfit. It's not entirely clear how this dessert subscription box service came about, but don't let that trouble you. Phivi is definitely making it all happen, and people are taking notice.

One customer put it this way: "I'm a new Phivifever customer and just got my first box. I couldn't be happier. The packaging was fantastic, and EVERYTHING (I mean everything!) was delicious!! They were not your run-of-the-mill, mass-produced desserts. So much more than that. I am so glad that I did the 12-month subscription because I can't wait to enjoy tasty treats like this each month!!!"

Phivi's artisanal assortment boxes contain a mix of baked goodies like cake pops, macarons, cookies and more. Past selections include Napoleon cake, a chai cupcake jar, maple brown butter pumpkin bundt cake, tiramisu truffles, and a cobweb brownie (from an October box). Each month has a theme, and Phivi even personalizes your box using information like your birth month and favorite color.

A monthly subscription sells for $39, with price breaks when you sign up for three, six, or 12 months. You can also sign up for the Macaron Lover box ($29 per month) or the Smart Cookie & Brownie box ($40 every three months). Shipping is free throughout the United States.

Why We Chose It: Four different pints of top-quality ice cream every month is an ice cream lover's dream.

There's nothing mysterious about Jeni's. Not only does the company share information about its ingredients and suppliers, but as a certified B corporation, Jeni's regularly submits to a transparent assessment of its social and environmental impact as well.

Founded by Jeni Britton Bauer in 2002, the company operates scoop shops in more than a dozen states and distributes pints nationwide. Jeni's makes more than 20 unique flavors, including Boston cream pie, brown butter almond brittle, gooey butter cake, sweet cream biscuits with peach jam, and Middle West whiskey and pecans.

The Pint Club is Jeni's ice cream subscription box. Each month brings a curated selection of four different ice creams, chosen from Jeni's signature flavors, as well as new varieties not yet in grocers’ freezers. The first shipment includes a welcome letter with the dates of your upcoming shipments, plus a set of ice cream spades.

The Pint Club is not a recurring subscription; you pay upfront for either three, six, or 12 months. Three months costs around $200, six months is about $390, and a year sells for roughly $760.

Why We Chose It: Cravory's endless cookie creativity makes for the perfect cookie subscription box.

Cookies and cream milkshake, cookie monster, rosemary balsamic, mint julep, and pancakes and bacon: These are just a handful of the many, many creative cookies Cravory has developed. The company has created more than 5,000 unique cookie flavors over the years and continues to generate roughly six new recipes every month. With a cookie subscription from Cravory, your palate will be treated to continuous sweet novelty.

Based in San Diego, California, Cravory was founded by two friends in 2009. Over the next five years, the company organically grew its business from online sales, and local farmers market stands to a popular brick-and-mortar storefront in Point Loma. Today, Cravory cookies are stocked by dozens of San Diego retailers and, most importantly, are shipped directly to customers nationwide.

Cravory's cookie subscriptions are sold by the half dozen, with free shipping on subscriptions of two dozen cookies or more. For fewer than two dozen cookies, shipping will cost you about $7 per box. Half a dozen cookies sell for about $13, a dozen is about $26, and two dozen is around $46. To save a few bucks, check Cravory's yelp page for discount codes.

Why We Chose It: A monthly box of Jackie's bonbons is the best way to keep the chocolate coming.

Jackie's Chocolate is another beloved, yet mysterious, company. The online-only, direct-mail candy vendor doesn't bother you with any stories about Jackie and how this person got into Chocolate, preferring to serve up heaps of customer reviews instead. Scroll to the bottom of the company's website, click on "Reviews," and you'll see thousands of photos of satisfied five-star customers posing with their purchases. Whoever is running Jackie's, wherever they are, they deliver satisfaction, and that's enough.

The beauty of Jackie's chocolate subscription could be summed up in the immortal words of Forest Gump: "You never know what you're gonna get." Well, you know that you'll get Chocolate, but whether it's white, dark, or milk, filled with nuts, nougat, fruit, caramel, marshmallow, or a golden ticket, you'll have to wait to be surprised. While we're kidding about the golden ticket, Jackie does seem determined to remain a mystery.

Jackie's chocolate subscription comes in one size: a box of about 15 assorted bonbons. You can subscribe monthly or for a fixed period of three, six, or 12 months. The monthly plan costs around $30, while the prepaid plans sell for about $100, $200, and $395, respectively. Shipping is free.
