You’ve got enough on your plate–work, workouts, nights, and everything in between. What you don’t have time for is trying out hundreds of so-so products just to find the one needle in the proverbial haystack. That’s where we come in.
The 2025 Limited Edition Modern Essentials Box is filled with the gear and grooming upgrades GQ editors have tested, vetted, and deemed worthy of a permanent spot in your rotation. Think of it as a shortcut to living sharpe–no trial and error required.
Here’s the best part: This box is worth $346, but subscribers can pick it up for just $99. As you might expect, though, quantities are limited (like, really limited), so we’d suggest acting on the intel sooner than later. If you’re not a subscriber, you can get it for $179—still a heckuva deal, considering the value.
Oh, and if you haven’t subscribed to the GQ Box yet, here’s the gist: every quarter, your friendly neighborhood GQ editors try dozens of products, cherry-pick our absolute favorites, and curate a grab-bag (or, uh, grab-box) of the gear, gadgets, and menswear upgrades we think you’ll love, too. Then we ship the whole shebang straight to your door. Nifty, right? You can sign up here.
