These packages of hand-selected goodies can be arranged and mailed for you, and if you choose a several-week or several-month subscription for your recipient, it can be a gift that literally keeps on giving. Consider these subscription boxes for your gifting needs this season.

FabFitFun
Fashion and beauty aficionados on your gift list may appreciate a FabFitFun subscription box, which offers a selection of as many as eight discounted personal-care products, makeup, home decor, and accessories. You can send a quarterly box for $59.99 each or four quarterly boxes for $219.99. Recipients of a quarterly box can preselect four of the items in each box, while recipients of four boxes can choose all their items before they are shipped via the FabFitFun app or website.
Special Delivery from Taste of Home
Delight the home cook on your list with either a quarterly Special Delivery from Taste of Home subscription for $44.95 per box or a Plus Quarterly subscription for $99 per box, which will then automatically renew until canceled. Each quarterly subscription box will include a Taste of Home cookbook and six to seven test-kitchen-approved products, such as spice mixes and cooking gadgets, while the Plus Quarterly subscription box includes an additional two to four products.
Wine of the Month Club
Wine lovers are sure to enjoy the International Wine of the Month Club subscription box, which includes two bottles of wine from two different award-winning international wineries every month. There are four unique subscriptions available, which you can select based on the quality or type of wine, with prices ranging from $41.95 a month to $74.95 a month (plus shipping and handling). You can select between two and twelve shipments for your recipient with no auto-renewal or pick a monthly subscription that will ship until you cancel. Except for the Bold Reds Wine Club, you can choose to include either white wines, red wines, or both, and every subscription box includes winemaker profiles and tasting notes.
There is also a design-your-own club option where you can mix this club with a combination of other clubs through MonthlyClubs.com, including subscription boxes for beer, cheese, chocolate, cigars, and flowers. For instance, you could send your recipient a cheese subscription box one month and a chocolate subscription box the next and combine multiple shipments in one month if you’d like, or you can skip months for a completely custom subscription-box gifting schedule.
