26 Subscription Boxes That'll Help Satisfy Pretty Much Anyone You Know

Because gift-giving doesn't have to be so daunting.

1. Atlas Coffee Club because it's rare that you ever see your best friend without a cup of $6 coffee in their hand. This service sends subscribers unique coffee blends from around the world every month, so they'll be able to switch things up and discover new tastes.

instagram.com

What they'll get: Every box includes a bag of coffee with a postcard from a different country every month. You can select the size and number of coffee bags you'd like to send them, and how often you'd like them to receive a box. You can also indicate any roast and grind preferences.

Bek, an editor here at BuzzFeed, tried this service and thought her Peruvian and Colombian coffee deliveries were phenomenal. Here's what she had to say:

"My roommates and I have varying levels of snobbery when it comes to coffee. For example, I'm cool with some Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee, but one of my roommates only buys his coffee from a fancy beanery in Williamsburg. Despite our different palates, we all loved and raved about Atlas's coffee. We used an electric grinder and tried making it with both a normal coffee maker and a French press. The Colombian coffee was very smooth and chocolatey, with an almost creamy texture even when taken black."

Cratejoy

What they'll get: Every month they'll receive one pair of workout leggings.

Promising review: "Like most women, I was skeptical about how well these stayed up without constant tugging and pulling. I have to admit, I am pleased beyond belief. I haven’t once had to pull these up. Not once! They have stayed in place perfectly. I highly recommend these just for that one fact alone. The pockets are amazing, the fit is amazing, and it is by far a great price for the quality." —Paciencia O.

3. Unplugged Book Box because it's ~perfect~ for the friend who's always hounding you with book recommendations and has a Goodreads list longer than the Twilight series.

What they'll get: Four or seven K-beauty sheet masks with a card of helpful tips and information.

Promising review: "This set was awesome and the box it came in was very nicely packaged. The variety in brands and specialties of the mask were very well curated, and it's a nice set to add to a collection or start out for someone who wants to get into masking. My only problem with it was I wish it gave the individual prices of each mask and the ability to rebuy a mask if I liked it." —Christina

Get it from Amazon for $4.96+/month (available with four or seven sheet masks).

FabFitFun

What they'll get: Each box contains 8–10 full-sized lifestyle, beauty, fashion, and fitness products.

I gave my friend a box for her birthday and she loved it! I like that each box has four or five products that everyone receives and some products that you can choose for yourself, so the gift still felt tailored to her since I got to pick some items I thought suited her lifestyle needs.

The service will ask questions about their taste preferences and send at least four bottles of wine based on their palate.

Winc

What they'll get: You'll receive four bottles of wine curated to your preferences, as well as info cards about the selections.

Bek, an editor here at BuzzFeed gave this subscription a shot. Here's what her thoughts were:

"The wine is delicious (and more importantly gorgeous to look at), plus it's super fun to get a boozy present in the mail each month. Thanks to nice packaging, it feels like a real luxury, even if the bottles are only about a dollar or two more than what I'd normally pay. I won't say this is a money-saver, but the experience and convenience definitely makes it worthwhile."
