Christmas is closing in, and if you’re in a pinch for a gift, subscription boxes can be a good option with a variety of themes and services to choose from.
Depending on the subscription, you can control what gets delivered and the pace of the delivery (usually monthly). We’ve collected some subscription boxes that can make for good gift ideas for the holiday season.
