In 2014, gift boxes came out of nowhere to be a go-to present for just about any occasion. It makes sense, there are so many different subscription boxes out there now, it's no longer about getting someone a terrible magazine subscription or fruit of the month club membership. Now you can personalize the subscription gift experience by getting someone boxes of random merchandise, or cookies, or booze! It's the perfect present!
So, with the holidays fast approaching, here are the best subscription boxes money can buy. There's something here for just about anyone, and while the prices vary (a lot), there's bound to be something in everyone's price range.
Zingerman's Bacon Club
Starts at: $99 for 3 months
It's a fact: geeks love merchandise. Go to any convention and you'll see how true that statement is...or, better yet, get them a subscription to Loot Crate! Each month has a new, random theme, such as Capcom games, villains, or giant robots. This gift subscription isn't for the casual fans, so expect items like limited-edition comics and exclusive figures or t-shirts. If you've got a nerd in the family, chances are, they'll want a Loot Crate.
Why give a single present on Christmas Day when you can give a gift that'll last for months? It's basic economics (also, people love free stuff)!
