Christmas is coming fast and it’s that time of the year again when you either smash your Christmas shopping out of the park or (if you are like me at least) leave everything until 48 hours before the big day.

DO SUBSCRIPTION GIFTS MAKE GOOD PRESENTS?

Subscriptions are great gifts. On the whole, you can choose a gift that’s in your price range as most subscriptions have a number of different options. They are also the gift that keeps giving. Receiving a box every month comes with a level of excitement that’s hard to convey. It’s like getting regular presents through the post…who wouldn’t like that? They are also, on the whole, remarkably good value. we know from experience that most subscription box companies work really hard to park their monthly offerings full of value.
