\"Loot<\/p>\n

Subscription boxes make great gifts because they’re\u00a0not something you\u2019d normally buy for yourself and you can order them\u00a0from the comfort of your home. They’re good for the people who are hard to shop for or who like to think outside the box\u00a0(yep, went there).<\/p>\n

A<\/span>lthough the subscription e-commerce model\u00a0(i.e. products delivered to your home weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) has\u00a0been around for years, it’s still new enough to most people that there’s a novelty factor. Plus, there’s a convenience to receiving goods on a regular basis, saving the time and energy of buying something individually and repeatedly.<\/p>\n

First world problem? Sure. But\u00a0who doesn’t love\u00a0to receive goodies in the mail?<\/p>\n

There are a plethora of\u00a0subscription services aimed at different demographics, with a particular emphasis on women’s and men’s products.\u00a0The first shipment usually arrives the following month, especially if you order after the 15th, although it can arrive the same month. Check the specific service for shipping details.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve broken down our favorite subscription boxes into five categories. Almost all of the subscription boxes below have a gift subscription option and most allow you to cancel after the first box.<\/p>\n
