Last Minute Gift Subscriptions That Don’t Suck

It’s crunch time, people. If you don’t have a gift for someone by now, you’re in trouble. Here are some last minute things you can get that don’t scream, “I got this while waiting in line at Priceline!”

There are people who just don’t shop until the very last second (ahem), and then end up running around scrambling. Why run around? There are a million ways to send someone something exciting, personal, and potentially really useful. With a subscription.

For the Entertainment-Obsessed

Buy someone a Spotify subscription so they never have to listen to commercials again. Subscription to movie and TV streaming services are also a nice touch for the media person in the family. There are gift cards for Xbox, too, if gaming is their thing.

For the Pusheen Lover

Is there a Pusheen addict in your life? Someone who loves soft, adorable cartoon cats? Well, there’s a box for that. Every month, they’ll receive a box of merchandise officially licensed from the Pusheen brand. This is someone’s dream, and you can make it happen.

Beauty Subscriptions

Sure, there are tons of subscriptions offering trial-size cosmetics, like beauty blogger Michelle Phan’s wildly popular Ipsy box, and Birchbox. But for the truly obsessed, spring for the box with full size items from Boxycharm. It costs more, but they’re worth it.

For the Person Who Loves Manly Gear

Check out Bespoke Post, which offers everything from shaving materials to furniture, depending on your specifications. We bet that everything smells like a hunting lodge made of pine and pipe smoke. (While this is targeted toward men, it could be a good option for any gender.)

For the Food Lover

Goldbelly is a service that delivers popular foods all over the country—and they have epic food subscription options, from BBQ to cookies to a general (but amazing) “Best of Goldbelly.”

For the Mystery Afficionado

If you have friends who love a mystery, there is a monthly mystery box from The Deadbolt Mystery Society available and one from a service called Finders Seekers. Who knew.

For the Pet Lover

For the dog people, you have BarkBox and for the cat people, there’s a Cat Lady Box, which I am taking as a personal affront—but would still love to get.
