11 Subscription Boxes That Make Great Last-Minute Gifts

You can't set up a subscription for your loved one, but you can start them off with a free month by giving them a Winc gift card. Winc will send the gift card to them, and from there, they can set up their flavor profile and get their subscription going. 

Birchbox is another option for cosmetics and personal care products,  especially if you're looking for products tailored to men. You can subscribe to their standard beauty box, or go with the Birchbox Man box. You can even start them off with three months and a gift box of all the Birchbox Man bestsellers for only $38. 

Add a little variety to your standard beauty subscription service with the CosmoBox, which has cool new beauty products along with fun fashion and lifestyle goodies (like essential oil bracelets!) that will make her smile. 

Nothing compares to curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee (or tea, or hot cocoa), right? Give your loved one the gift of just that with this box, which features a beverage, a classic book, and other fun little gifts for book lovers every month. 

Give them the gift of new teas to try every month with this loose leaf tea subscription, which consists of 4 new varieties with every delivery.

 Pro tip: You can actually subscribe to their favorite Lush products directly through the brand's website—simply select the bath bombs and other goodies you know they love, then choose "order subscription" and your frequency (AKA how many months in between each delivery).
