TheraBox

TheraBox is curated by licensed therapists using neuroscience and positive psychology principles to promote happiness and stress relief. Each monthly box includes 7-8 full-size products (skincare, aromatherapy, bath items, wellness tools) plus one research-backed happiness activity. Retail value of $200+ for $37.99-45/month.

TheraBox brings clinical wellness expertise into the subscription box format, curated by licensed therapists who apply neuroscience and positive psychology research to product selection. Founded in 2018 by Ting Ting Jiang, a former therapist who recognized the need for accessible mental wellness tools, the Santa Ana, California-based company has shipped over 1,000,000 boxes globally. The concept earned recognition from major media including Forbes, the Today Show, Oprah Daily, Good Morning America, NBC News, Verywell Mind, and Byrdie.

Unlike lifestyle boxes focused purely on product discovery, TheraBox emphasizes mental wellness and stress relief. Each monthly delivery includes a happiness-boosting activity designed by therapists, gratitude exercises, mindfulness prompts, journaling practices, or stress relief techniques backed by psychological research. This educational component elevates TheraBox beyond typical subscription box experiences.

The value proposition is substantial: 7-8 full-size products from ethical, cruelty-free brands with a combined retail value of $200+ for $37.99-45 per month. Monthly themes keep selections fresh and create anticipation around each delivery. The 4.6/5 Cratejoy rating (2,861 reviews) and “Preferred Seller” status reflect strong subscriber satisfaction, while the A BBB rating indicates reasonable business practices.

How It Works

1. Choose Subscription Term: Select monthly ($45), 3-month ($41.99/box), 6-month ($39.99/box), or annual ($37.99/box) plan. Longer terms offer better value but lock in your commitment.

2. Enter Shipping Details: Provide delivery address and payment information. International subscribers pay additional shipping fees ($11.99 Canada, $25 worldwide).

3. Receive Monthly Box: Boxes ship mid-month and arrive within 3-5 business days domestic (longer international). Each month brings new themed products and activities.

4. Explore Contents: Unbox 7-8 full-size products and review the happiness activity. The informational insert explains each product and guides you through the therapeutic activity.

5. Practice Self-Care: Use products across your wellness routine, morning skincare, evening baths, weekend relaxation. Complete the happiness activity to engage the mental wellness component.

6. Manage Subscription: Skip months if overwhelmed with products, cancel through your account, or gift unused items. Auto-renewal applies to all subscription terms.

Note on Customization: TheraBox does not offer product customization, everyone receives identical monthly boxes. If specific products don’t suit your preferences, they make excellent gifts or can be donated.
