As a BuzzFeed Shopping editor, my goal is to find all the products actually worth buying. Are you a grazer? A snacker? A nosher? Think no day is complete without a lil' something? Well, we have got the treats for you. These subscription services (Swedish candy! Tinned fish! Cookies!) will send out monthly shipments to make your tongue do a happy dance. What you'll get: Two, four, six, or eight bags of jerky. Promising review: "I bought a three-month subscription (four bags) for my husband for Father’s Day. He thought it was a cool idea and enjoyed his gift each month. The jerky was always delicious, and the selection was unique; I think the amount that comes with the four-bag subscription is perfect for a tasting selection. I’d order from them again." —Jeanine S. Get it from Cratejoy for $15.08+/box (available in four sizes). What you'll get: Either 12+ or 20+ snacks, depending on what box size you pick. Promising review: "This box was literally too full of snacks! The box was bursting at the seams! It was great to taste them all! I only wish they had included an information card explaining more about what was in the box. But still a great experience!" —Amy C. Get it from Cratejoy for $36+/box (available in two sizes). What you'll get: Around three seafood tins and a snack. Promising review: "Wow. I can’t believe it. After 42 years, I’ve finally become a member of the Tinned Fish Club! This was just the best gift. I always knew something was missing. Something was off. Now I am complete. Btw, my first box had sardines, sprats, and tuna. I ate them all on baguette slices. Honestly, I don’t know what I’ll do waiting weeks for my next scheduled shipment." —Bradley R. Levain is best known for their chocolate chip cookies, but they also offer new flavors like carrot cake, caramel coconut, and raspberry pistachio. I recommend getting the Surprise Cookie Assortment to keep things exciting. Get it from Levain Bakery for $52 (available in 14 options).

My kids can't get enough and look forward to it every single month." —Ashley Get it from Universal Yums for $19+/box. What you'll get: 14 hand-poured lollipops. Promising review: "I loved the lollies, and they were so nicely presented. Though I didn't get to try all the flavors, as my husband swiped several. I may need to get him his own box!" —Katherine What you'll get: 5–6 products from small businesses, a fact sheet, and a watercolor map. Promising review: "I received three months of Explore Local as a gift and loved it so much I started my own subscription! I enjoy sampling items from a specific city, and particularly love learning about small businesses. I've ordered items I especially liked directly from the manufacturers later, to directly support those businesses. There might be an item here and there that I'm not interested in, but I've happily used them as great gifts for friends. The packaging is nice, and I love the included facts about the cities. Each box makes me want to travel!" —Jessica W. Get it from Cratejoy starting at $45/box. What you'll get: Sweet and savory Japanese snacks ranging from mochi to cookies to chips, and a new tea each month. Promising review: "What a delightful box of treats!

Get it from TokyoTreat for $32.50+/box. What you'll get: Around eight food items. Promising review: "Absolutely delicious! Everything arrived fresh and beautifully packaged. Love supporting these talented chefs!" —Monica Get it from Here Here Market for $80/box. What you'll get: Depending on the size you pick, 10–25 candies, sweets, and snacks. Promising review: "Remember when you were a child, and you got a piece of candy? How much joy did you get from that moment, for whatever reason? Basically, it was just so much happiness because sugar is life for kids. Whenever I was given Mexican Candy, I was always really happy because it wasn't just sweet... it was sweet and spicy, sweet and salty, or a combination of all three. It was a special treat that I enjoyed. Now here I am as an adult (or close to it), and I find MexiCrate. Literally my new favorite thing. It reminds me of some old favorite candies, as well as some new ones that I've never tried, and that is the best thing ever. I highly recommend you try this if you love Mexican Candy or just want to try an interesting sweet option. You won't regret it!" —Nic H.
