Is there someone on your list who just can’t find a gift for him? Don’t throw your hands in the air just yet – consider a subscription box. There are boxes for just about every interest, and your gift recipient can try out a bunch of things that would be too expensive for yourself. You can buy it for a month, but we think three months is the perfect gift because they’ll feel that warm swoon over and over again.
None of the options below require a contract, so you can cancel anytime. (Just check the fine print to see how many days you need to notify them before billing.) If you purchased a multi-month subscription, you can cancel the auto-renew, but you won’t get a refund for non-renewed boxes that haven’t been sent yet goods. We’ve noticed that it usually costs more when the box has a separate gift option, but you don’t have to worry about canceling.
Keep in mind that subscription boxes tend to ship at very specific times each month, so if you’re in a rush for a last minute gift, they won’t ship as soon as you order .
