Popsugar Living Gifts For Women Best Monthly Subscription Boxes to Give as Gifts 24 Subscription Boxes That Aren't Just For Christmas, They're For Life. . . or 3 Months 17 December 2019 by Elle Taylor Image Source: Wildwoman As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. Many of the standard present choices end up being forgotten after the holidays, but a subscription box based on the recipient's special interests is bound to be a useful gift that will keep sparking joy each and every time it lands on the doormat. You can think of it as the gift that keeps on giving, whether you choose to buy someone an annual subscription or a three-month taster. There are lots of choices in popular categories, like beauty and food (and we've picked out some of the very best for those), but you'll also find unusual, quirky offerings that are perfect for loved ones who are difficult to buy for — think crystals, candles, and cats. We've selected options for everyone in the family, from gardening grandparents to crafty kids. Ahead, take a look at our picks for the best subscription box gifts, from craft gin and badges to Harry Potter goodies and hot sauce. Related: Unwrap Our POPSUGAR Editors' Gift Guide!
