The 73 Best Subscription Boxes to Gift for Every Interest


What Food Is Good for Gifting?

Nowadays, you can ship just about anything to anyone anywhere; the perfect gift all depends on what the giftee likes. For foodies, we love artisanal olive oils, spice kits and cooking sets that will inspire them in the kitchen. Desserts, like giant cookies or Insta-worthy cupcakes, are an easy win for birthdays, potlucks and picky kids. For date night, we love extravagant steak deliveries, gourmet chocolates and even a surf-and-turf dinner. And there's no shortage of wine subscriptions, craft beer clubs and cocktail kits out there for amateur mixologists and sommeliers.
