It seems like every single week there is some new monthly box or crate company popping up. You can get a monthly box for socks, ties, makeup, and just about everything in between. The monthly box market is becoming incredibly competitive; it takes a lot to make one stand out. Standout, however, is exactly what Loot Crate does.

Loot Crate operates very much the same as the other monthly subscriptions boxes:

Loot Crate is the monthly gear and swag club for those that live and embrace the geek and gaming lifestyle. Loot Crate is a product discovery box, connecting our subscribers, known as Looters, with the best new and emerging companies producing gear, snacks, toys, hardware, art, and other goodies for the geek and gaming market. Each month, Loot Crate handpicks 6-8 new items to include in the box, which are kept secret until the boxes are delivered!¹

Pretty standard. However, Loot Crate really steps out of the box, pardon the pun, with their product offerings. Where else can you get a Minecraft calendar and a Star Trek Communicator Badge wall print in the same box?

Loot Crate is priced between $13.37/mo – for one a month subscriptions – to $11.67/mo for a 6 month subscription.

The company is picking up some steam, and even has a dedicated subreddit: /r/lootcrate.
