One of my favorite things to both give and receive are subscription services. Whether it’s wine, food, beauty products or magazines, it’s so much fun to know the gift you’re giving will still be enjoyed long after the holidays are over.

A subscription service is also the perfect last minute gift. Just print out the info about what they’re receiving and put it in a Holiday card. Voila! You’re done and they’re getting a gift they’ll love.

I’ve rounded up some favorites below.
