There's a subscription box out there for everyone on your list.

Promising review: "It's awesome that you get a range of different things in the box. They cater to a segment of the market that other beauty boxes don't. I’ve actually used every single thing from my box because I’ve wanted to incorporate them into my beauty routine. I loved everything. I would definitely recommend it." —Andrea Matillano
Get it from Fab Fit Fun for $49.99 four times a year.
What you get: Choose your house and get four to five items per month, including home decor, candles, bath and body care, collectibles, and super soft T-shirts (sizes XS–4XL).
Promising review: "I have subscribed to a total of four wizarding world boxes and this is by far the best. The customer service is five stars, the handmade items are five stars, and it arrives on time every time — five stars. I can't get over the items in this box. They are all unique, useful, and fun. On top of that they showcase other artists, and their items are always vegan and cruelty-free. Accio even has a group on Facebook group where you can talk and share pictures with other Potterheads. I hesitated buying this box at first, but I'm so glad I did. I love the Etsy-style items you can't just find anywhere else." —Erica
Get it from Cratejoy for $32+/month.
What you get: Choose from two bags, half a pound, or a pound of artisan jerky each month.
Promising review: "Alright, so my husband and I love jerky but, the real stuff. We didn't want processed, nasty gas station jerky, we wanted the 'craft' of jerky. We found it with Jerky Snob! The fact that they choose jerky from companies all over the country and send various flavor profiles is awesome. It makes you feel like you're giving back to your fellow jerky lovers, and there's a taste for everyone. Plus, it's not processed crap! Hooray for jerky!" —Gabriella

Promising review: "I can't begin to tell you the quality of the items in this box. They teach us historical events, geography, math, science experiments, and ways to encourage our girls to achieve by boosting their confidence through knowledge. You need a whole month to dive into all the materials they included in the workbook. My granddaughters were inspired to create and learn and so was I, I will be a long term Girls Can Crate subscriber." —Lynn

This is a great company to work with, and they send you a spoiler in advance to see if you want to select other packs you may want. Great customer service also." —Ellen

Promising review: "Every four months I'll get an email saying that I have a box on the way from Comma Vintage, and I get super excited to see what they sent me this time. I haven't been let down once. So far my favorite item has been a vintage down vest that I wear multiple times a week. I loved the service so much that I bought my brother a subscription for Christmas, and due to the survey everyone fills out, he gets very different items than me — but also loves them. I look forward to continuing to be a subscriber!" —Oliver

Promising review: "I started this subscription two years ago to help get myself out of a book slump. I've continued to subscribe because this box really is one of the best experiences I've had. I look forward to my boxes each month (I get both the YA and adult boxes because I have no self-control lol). The gifts fit well with the story and are often useful after the book is done. I will continue to get this as long as I can!" —Hannah

What you get: One knitting or crocheting project per month based on your skill level, and all the materials you need to complete it. Choose from a beginner crochet subscription or a knitting subscription.

What you get: Two or four high-quality slimes depending on what size you choose, plus themed items and candy.
Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my daughter who loves all things slime! These boxes are so cute and full of extra little goodies. We've bought slime from everywhere and made our own, so I must admit we are pretty picky, BUT we are THRILLED! There is a description and name of each slime, and not only is the slime amazing, it smells wonderful! My kids have already played for hours and hours, and look forward to many more! I also want to say that the customer service is superb. They are so helpful and quick to reply. I could NOT possibly be happier!" —Brandy

Promising review: "I'd tried a couple boxes before and none were really up my alley. Culture Carton is awesome (I got the standard box with book and items) because it's such a mix of things. I got books, socks, earbuds, a flask, etc., in two boxes." —Robert
Get it from Cratejoy for $16+/month (available in three varieties).
What you get: Four of the best cigars in the world each month, a informational card about the cigars, and a cigar torch lighter and a free cutter with sign up.
Promising review: "My husband loves cigars, but we live in a smaller town where our cigar shops don't really carry a wide variety. I got him a subscription for six months for his birthday and he was so impressed with every single delivery. They sent several cigars that he had seen online and always wanted to try, and they were all $12–$15+ in value. The cigars were all in excellent condition, and everything from the packaging to the informational card inside was perfect. Several of our friends have tried other similar services and did not have the same quality of experience that we did. We ended up letting the subscription go for several months longer because it was so wonderful. 100% recommend if you're a cigar buff." —Kristen
Get it from Cratejoy for $39.95/month.
What you get: Organic baking mixes, cutouts, sweet treats, activities, and detailed recipe/instructions so you can make monthly themed goodies that look just like the pictures
Promising review: "Very nice! It looked just like the pictures when it was done, and it tastes really really good. I have Down syndrome clients and let them do the kit. It was very easy for them to accomplish what the picture showed, and they were ever so proud; so this kit is kid-friendly and good for people with special needs." —Rosie

What you get: Art supplies such as pens, pencils, paints, tools, sketch pads, and more.
Promising review: "I'm super happy with the two boxes I've received so far. Art subscription boxes are a great opportunity to try out new supplies, and with Paletteful, I know that I'm not only getting the highest quality supplies but that I'll get enough to really try out the medium/art style. From the two boxes I've received, I know that I won't always want or need the supplies I get, but I also have friends that I can gift them to, so I don't mind."—Arlington

I've subscribed to dozens of different ones over the years and this is the ONLY one I have never once been disappointed with. I've actually stopped subbing to all other ones except Beauteque. The products are always huge and great quality. I love that they mix skincare, tools, and makeup in one box. I really can't recommend this box enough." —Mitsuko
