Graze is a healthy snack service where you select the snacks you would enjoy most and they send it to your work or home. It’s perfect for adventurous snackers and health food nuts. The service specializes in health reinventions of classic foods such as strawberry shortcake and peach cobbler. My friend Dyhanara Rios used the service in the past and enjoyed the snacks she received.

“Graze is a unique snack box to mail to yourself or a friend,” Dyhanara Rios said. “The standard box has four different treats to try. Southern BBQ Pistachios and Cherries and Berries were among my favorites.”

2) BarkBox

If you’re a dog lover and you know it, check out the BarkBox. The monthly service delivers dog toys and treats for every pup. You just specify your dog’s size, choose between a variety of month plans, and you’re good to go!
