The countdown has officially begun, only ten days until Christmas! If you’re a last minute shopper like me, the anxiety has just started. Well, fret no more mi amor! I have the BEST last minute gifts for everyone on your list. What could be more stress-free than subscription box? Wondering which one to send? I’ve done all the work for you.
Subscription boxes have been a huge trend for the last few years. The reason for their success, in my opinion, is that they are an affordable luxury that you can receive regularly. So surprise the people you love with a thoughtful and recurring gift.
There is a myriad of well-known boxes to choose from, I’m sure there’s one on the tip of your tongue. I wanted to focus on the interesting, friend specific boxes and maybe even introduce you to a few new options.

There are sommanybsubscription boxes now and this is a great selection. I love the fitness one.
It looks cute and since it’s connected with Adidas, it has a little more credibility.
These are fabulous ideas. I particularly like the New Hobby Box. I am not sure if I can get it in Canada but I will look for it.
Thanks for reading my post Anne! I’m sure they deliver to our neighbors to the north! 😉
These are all such great boxes. I’d personally want that chocolate one because chocolate excites me.
Both of the chocolate ones look yummy!
Fabulous ideas for last minute gifts. I’m done shopping but still have to wrap. Any ideas for last minute wrappers?
I love using newspaper or magazine tears as wrapping paper. You can also get a solid color paper and handwrite names and cute little doodles to personalize it. I’m ALL about the little things!
I haven’t heard of a few of these! Such great ideas for a unique surprise
Thanks Shane! I hadn’t heard of some of them either, so I just HAD to share!
This gift guide is just in time for the Christmas. I would love the wine and fitness subscription. I have to look into getting it.
The Bubble and Rose one is a little bit more my style…I’m fancy! LOL
I love the subscription boxes. You highlight so many great ones. The one for tweens is very cool. I never know what to get my tween niece.
Yeah, Tweens can be hard to shop for. Depending on where they are maturity wise and their age, beauty items (nail polish and lip gloss) are great options and either classic simple jewelry or costume jewelry. Accessories as well, fun hats and bags. You can’t go wrong with stickers or books though!
So many great subscription boxes out these days! I’m loving it. I’m saving this post so I can reference it later. Thanks!
Great post! Lots I didn’t know about!
Such gorgeous stuff.I have to check my bank balance before starting on thus shopping trip.
Oooo looks like you got a ton of fabulousness in the box!!!!!! Need to look more into this!
Such a lovely idea to give a sub box which would surprise and entertain anyone. I have learnt about a few new sub boxes so thanks for that
You have excellent selections here. I love these subbox ideas.
