It’s 2017, everything – and I mean everything – can be bought online. It is now possible for people to never leave their parents’ basement, yet still have super cool Minecraft friends, and get the brand new limited edition Star Wars lightsaber two weeks before it comes out.

The whole “everything one could ever want is right at their fingertips,” thing has its perks, especially around the holidays, but we all know someone who is incredibly difficult to buy for, but alas, there is a solution! Subscription boxes, let me explain:

Boxy Charm 

Makeup lovers, skin care experts, and beauty gurus rejoice! Boxy Charm will bring joy into your heart each month with 4-5 full-size beauty products that range from chic nail polish to a poppin’ highlighter.

The brands featured in each month’s box are both emerging companies such as Pretty Vulgar and established companies like Urban Decay. The 2017 December box includes a glamorous Tarte mascara, creamy Makeup Geek liquid lipstick, and a few other products that are sure to boost your makeup game.

The value of each month’s box is always over $100, but only costs $21 a month including shipping.

Book Case

Let the words flow off the pages and sweep readers into another world with this monthly book box.

Each month book addicts will receive a brand new book chosen by the experienced staff at Book Case.  The books range in genres, and features both bestselling authors such as Nicholas Sparks, and rising writers such as Amber Smith.

With each box costing only $9.99, it is every bookworms’ dream.

Say It with a Sock

Sockaholics unite! Say It with a Sock will keep toes warm and ankles stylish each month with a handpicked pair of socks chosen by the very finest of sock experts.

Fuzzy, designer, and even animal socks, this monthly subscription box has it all! With a low price of only $11.99 a month, it is sure to knock the socks off of anyone who gets that sock-filled box delivered to their door step.

VNYL

Old souls, music lovers, and Tumblr members take a seat and prepare for this subscription box that is to die for.

Every single month three brand spankin’ new records fit to the purchaser’s taste will be shipped to their door in a bright pink box exploding with amazing lyrics and rocking rhythms.

With the box only costing $39.00, VNLY’s is a deal of a lifetime.

Love with Food Tasting 

Wannabe Gordon Ramsey’s and Food Network binge watchers settle down, because the perfect subscription box is on its way!

Master Chef winner Christine Ha has teamed up with the company to bring professional – and not so professional – chef’s the ultimate food box filled with healthy premade snacks that are guaranteed to get taste buds tingling at a low price of $7.99 a month.

In addition, every box that is purchased, one meal is donated to a food bank to help fight hunger. Love with Food Tasting will make stomachs full and hearts whole this holiday season.

Although signing up for a subscription box is a semi-lengthy process, it all pays off when a loved one opens the box every month with a smile that could light up the room.
