Holiday Gift Guide: Subscription Boxes

If you saw my post yesterday about my monthly subscription box favorite finds than you’ll have seen me rave over the fact that subscription boxes make awesome gifts! They are literally the gift that keeps on giving (well, until the subscription runs out that is, ha). They come in all price ranges and subscription options and there is one out there for every single interest you could imagine, seriously.  There’s boxes for beauty, art, kids, babies, dogs, cats, plant people, candy lovers, meat lovers, vegans, coffee lovers, beer drinkers, wine-o’s, movie lovers, book lovers, unicorn enthusiasts and so much more. No joke, your entire Christmas list could be covered with box subscriptions. Not only that but if you’ve put off shopping too long, they are perfect for last minute holiday gifts too. Easy peasy. To help inspire you I’ve put together one last little gift guide with a short list of my favorite giftable subscriptions. Of course these lean toward the beauty and eco-friendly variety because those are my favorite types there are!

For Green Beauty Lovers

This is one of my favorite subscription boxes to receive. It contains 4 luxury beauty items each month in petit sizes. They are all clean beauty items made with natural and safe ingredients. It can include anything from make-up to skincare to body care. It’s cost effective, useful and fun. And pretty too!

2 – Nature’s Beauty Box – starting at $14/month
I really like this natural beauty box too! It contains a handful of trial sized items from small indie beauty brands each month. It can include makeup, skincare and body care. Each item introduced me to awesome small businesses making thoughtfully handcrafted goods. I like it too because each item I got was up to my green and natural ingredients standards.

3 – Merkaela – starting at $39/quarter
This is a divine box full of in-house handcrafted skin and body care items. Each quarter items are crafted around a theme to support your self-care rituals and spiritual practices. They are all made with simple, thoughtful and all-natural ingredients and smell just as good as they look. This one just looks perfect for gifting too- beautiful presentation!

I’ve never tried this box out but it looks fantastic. It’s another one that looks beautiful for gifting. Each quarterly box contains 4-6 full-sized skincare and wellness items from indie beauty brands. They are all made with all natural and ethical ingredients.

5 – Oui Fresh Beauty Box starting at $19.99

Each item is vetted to make sure it’s truly all-natural and meets their guidelines. It’s fun, cheeky, cute and non-toxic, what more could you want?!

For Those that Dream of Far off Places

6 – California Found $49/month

I have a love affair with the state of California so it’s no wonder that I love this subscription box. Each month when it arrives it takes me to my favorite place on earth for a few moments of bliss. It contains around 5 items all created by California artisans. It can include skincare, house wears, candles, snacks, accessories and more. The quality of the items is always top notch and it feels very gift worthy every time I open it. You don’t have to love California to love this box, that’s for sure!

7 – Oui Please  $150/bi-monthly box
I’ve also never tried this box out, but I LOVE Paris so it intrigued me. I mean everything Parisian, no matter what it is, automatically feels fancy and chic so a box full of French goods is a gifting no-brainer. It’s a French luxury products box that contains 8+ full-sized items valued over $350 from categories such as beauty, apparel, accessories, jewelry, and epicure. Since it’s luxury, it’s on the pricey side, but looks worth the splurge!

For the Yoga Lover 

8 – Yogi Surprise starting at $44.95
I really like this box for any yoga enthusiast. The items are all geared toward the yoga-minded individual, but it’s not exclusive so even those just starting out or even those who just like to practice a mindful lifestyle will enjoy this one. It contains items like skincare, body care, aura care, yoga tools, meditation helpers, crystals, snacks and more.

For Eco-Friendly Minded Peeps 

9 – Earthlove Box starting at $54.95
This is another one I haven’t tried yet but it’s on my list! It’s the premier subscription box for eco-conscious living. It’s a lifestyle box that helps make living sustainably and healing the planet easier. Each quarterly box includes 6-8 full sized items like tea, home decor, healthy snacks, jewelry, apothecary, apparel, accessories, zero waste swaps, gardening, and there is always a book included.  

For Green Beauty Lovers Who Are Also Book & Tea Lovers

10 – HealthTea Book Crate starting at $52/bi-monthly
A subscription for those who love of reading, drinking tea, & focusing on good health for the mind and body. Each bi-monthly box includes a fiction novel written by women authors, a tea selection and several self-care items like bath teas, soaps or tea mugs. The self-care items seem to mostly be made with natural and clean ingredients too. I haven’t tried this one either but It’s such a pretty box and the contents just evoke self-care and relaxation (and also inspire me to pick back up my reading habit)!

For Kids

11 – Smockbox starting at $64.95
This is the cutest box for littles! Each monthly box contains a curated selection of items that includes one ethical fashion outfit, an accessory and a toy all packaged in a cute gift bag.

I’ve never received this box, but I can just tell it’s a good one! This would make an awesome gift for a new or soon to be mom!

For Those that Love/Need Self-Care

This is one box that I subscribed to for a long time and can’t wait to get back to subscribing to it. It’s a magical monthly collection of crystals, aromatherapy, superfoods, beauty & spiritual tools. It’s contents are intended to nourish your inner goddess and grow your spiritual practice. I discovered so many awesome products and brands through this box and loved how they brought me self-care inspiration. Each box contains a mix of 5-7 full size products that are vegan and cruelty-free.

This is a sacred self-care ritual box that contains items based on a theme like crystals, self-care, spiritual tools, teas, skincare, beauty + more. All items are cruelty-free and natural beauty focused. Each monthly box contains 5-6 full size products. This one is from Australia but ships worldwide. I haven’t ever received it but, I thought it was so pretty and curated so nicely that it was worth sharing! Plus it would be fun to try products from the other side of the world!

There are actually a ton more I’d suggest but these are my tops for now! Do you have any subscription boxes you’d love to give or receive?!
