It seems like the hottest trend in the past few years is Monthly Gift Box Subscriptions. There’s even a German Food box! And why not? It’s the Gift that keeps on giving. Every month, a surprise box arrives on the doorstep, filled with goodies! The German Monthly boxes are generally filled with Food or Candy—just enough stuff to give a taste of home and put a smile on the recipient’s face. And it’s a nice change from a bouquet of flowers.
I’ve included cost comparisons for purchasing the items separately with prices on other German Online Retailers. Honestly, the prices there vary too (Amazon might charge $19 for something that a German Deli charges $13 for… but sometimes it was the other way around).
Note- To ensure I wasn’t getting a “padded” box, I checked online images that other people submitted of their boxes for comparison. Things did look similar.

German Food Boxes
It is important to note that the German Food box will not replace a trip to the German Store to stock your pantry. These are fun boxes with treats that land on your doorstep once a month. Think of them as a fun gift or surprise for someone missing Germany, maybe as an alternative to flowers. They are the perfect gift for someone who has all the “things” they need.
German Food Box sends “themed” boxes for holidays and Oktoberfest Season!
The box came neatly packed in a box that clearly said German Food box, so you could stick a bow on it if you wanted to give it as a gift in person. The person who packed the box included their card. All the fragile items were wrapped in bubble wrap, and the space in the box was filled with shredded paper. You also get a recipe card to try something new outside the box.

What I really liked is that ALL of the items included were German—not made in America, but actually German. If I want to pay for German foods and flavors, I don’t want items I can get here made for the American Market.
I compared the box I got to photos I saw online of other people’s German Food Box contents. The boxes I saw didn’t always have the sausages AND honey. It would be one or the other. But otherwise, the things I got look like what everyone else got. You don’t always get THESE THINGS when you get a box. It changes monthly, and it’s always a surprise.
Monthly boxes have also included Potato Pancakes, Cake, Kaiserschmarrn, Semmel Klöße, Soups, Rotkohl, Candies, and chocolates.

My Thoughts on German Food Box-
If you are looking for a gift for the person who has everything (or want to treat yourself), and you want to do more than flowers… German Food Box is a nice gift. Imagine, for around $50 a month, your friend, Mother, Oma, Uncle gets a nice box of German foods delivered to their doorstep. It’s a meal or two along with extras (the jam and honey is lovely, and it lasts a while).

Thank you for doing all of the hard work! I, too, have been impressed by German Food Box. Now I will try Candy German, too!
Thanks for suggesting this uniquely design subscription box, I appreciate your work.
You need to take a look to http://www.thegermanfood.com , i guess thats the cheapest way because they offer normal grocery prices …. like mustard, they sell it for just $2.99 including taxes.
Yes, the food boxes are not the best way to get everyday groceries. This is the online source

Hello Barbara… you need to reach out directly to the people who make the box.

Please do not send me any more of these boxes, the things in theme make no since and tasted bad. I’m German and love the food but I could not eat any of the 1st box, not even the chocolate.
Hi Debra, You need to reach out directly to the German FOod Box. [email protected] or call them at 941-681-5951
I’m canceling the German Food Box also, way too expensive $53.55 and have received more than 8 boxes, no discount after 3.
Be warned of their deceptive practices. If you sign up for monthly boxes they will send you a second box without your consent and charge you full price. They argue you have to cancel 5 days before renewal date but never tell you that date. In my case I was to cancel the day before my first box was ever delivered.
Also, their website shows perishable food and they never send such food. They would require a license which I bet they do not have.

I will look in to this. I never had trouble myself.
I’ve lived in Germany 🇩🇪 for 3 years while in the military. Unfortunately I didn’t try enough of the German food, so when I saw this German food box I immediately ordered and enjoy everything each month. Boy do I miss GERMANY 🇩🇪!!!!
I’m delighted that you are enjoying it
