When it comes to satisfying your snacking needs with a customizable snack box, two companies come to mind.
First, there is SnackMagic (obviously), but we aren’t naive to the world. We’re aware other options are out there–namely, Snack Crate stands out the most when it comes to offering an international snack box.
Snack Crate is also well-known–like SnackMagic–for the best snack subscription boxes.
