LootCrate is a [monthly subscription-based service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytherabox) designed almost exclusively for geeks. Each month, LootCrate members will receive a [mystery box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisky-blind-box) filled with six to eight geeky items. These include, but are not limited to, [shirts, food, gaming accessories and gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemper-box). Each box has a theme chosen by the team members. For example, April's theme is token, so the boxes are all filled with items inspired by classic arcade games.

A LootCrate subscription starts at $20 per month, longer subscriptions are available, and each month one member is randomly chosen to receive a MegaCrate with $250 worth of merchandise inside. You can check out the video for a behind-the-scenes look at the people and process behind LootCrate.
