4 Subscription Box Ideas That Make Great Gifts

Looking for an easy gift to give someone or even treat yourself to? Whether you are buying something for those tricky to buy for people in your life or you want to reward yourself for literally anything, subscription boxes are the gift that keeps on giving and can deliver enjoyment through the front door month after month. They save you the hassle of frequent gift shopping and ensure a delightful surprise every time.

These days, there is a wealth of subscription services that fill each and every whim, desire or need in your life. From the common streaming services that you can pay for to enjoy your favourite shows and movies to the more obscure yet still gratefully received boxes focusing on people’s hobbies, such as adult colouring books, fishing, subscriptions and more. The sheer variety of options is enough to excite anyone, making the main issue the delightful task of choosing the perfect one.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common subscription boxes that make the perfect gift for yourself or your loved ones.

Coffee

The UK coffee scene is thriving, and more and better people are experimenting with this flexible drink, not just consuming it to help them stay awake. Catering to their tastes has never been easier. You can purchase different types of coffee subscriptions to be delivered to your home or directly to the recipient to help them with the different types of coffee beans and roasts on the market and deliver them a taste sensation each month. Horsham Coffee Roaster, for example, delivers single 250g bags to your door each month so you can sample different beans.

Brownie or Sweet Treat Boxes

If it’s something sweet or after that, you won’t be spoilt for choice regarding the delicious selection of brownies or baked goods catering to the sweet tooth. You can find classic brownies, twists on the traditional brownie, ie loaded variations, a cookie subscription, a monthly cake box throughout your tour every month, and a whole host of other treats waiting for you to devour. The issue is pinpointing exactly what treat to choose and refraining from ordering them all.

Recipe Boxes or Meal Kits

Meal boxes or kits have become increasingly popular in recent years, with many households having tried at least one recipe box or meal kit delivery service. What happens with these boxes is that you can tailor the box to your tastes and dietary requirements, and they deliver everything you need (in most cases) to create healthy, delicious meals that you might not otherwise have tried or thought to make yourself. The personalisation of these kits ensures they make great gifts, especially for those who are short on time, hate food shopping, need an easy option for meals, or just want to enjoy eating different foods. Check out options like Gousto, HelloFresh or Mindful Chef to see what you can expect.

Alcohol

Not to be left behind, companies such as Beavertown Beer, Craft Gin Club and Crafty Nectar are popular choices for those wanting to try new alcoholic beverages via subscription services. You get a selection of drinks and, in some cases, ingredients to make cocktails and recipe suggestions to eat alongside your drink in a carefully curated box delivered right to your home. You, of course, need to be over 18 to sign up or accept the delivery, but if you want something specific for a celebration or you simply want to fill up your home bar, these boxes are perfect.
