Escape Monthly

Closed.Announced in February 2016 that it was shutting down because it was no longer financially feasible.

What's in the box: When it operated, each box held a selection of travel themed items and travel gear.

Escape Monthly no longer operates as a subscription box. It announced in February 2016 that it was shutting down because the business was no longer financially feasible. While it ran, it was a US monthly service built around travel. It sent subscribers travel themed items and gear meant to bring a small sense of escape to their door every month. Today the escapemonthly.com address hosts a travel and lifestyle website, not a box service. The site publishes gear roundups and guides on topics such as carry-on luggage, travel accessories, family vacations, camping tents and snorkeling gear. It also runs articles on luggage tag scams, identity theft while traveling and flight etiquette. Many pieces cover products that have little to do with travel, such as recliners, foosball tables and heels. A Subscribe link still sits in the menu, but the site does not offer a monthly box you can order, and you should not expect anything to ship. The articles may be useful as light reading, but treat them as general shopping content and not as part of the old service. If you want a travel themed subscription, choose one that is actively operating and clearly lists its current contents and terms. Escape Monthly is best seen as a closed service and not an option to buy today.
