subscriptions (aka the gift that keeps on giving): a 2024 gift guide.

Alright, this is a fun gift guide because these gifts keep on giving. In addition to the Magnolia Journal magazine subscription and the plant mystery boxes I mentioned in my earlier gifts guides last week, these 9 subscription-based gifts are unique and fun ways to keep the giving going all year long!

one: This is something I’ve had my eye on for a while — a Book-of-the-month subscription gifts your favorite reader with a monthly book delivered right to their door. Each month, they have the choice to choose between 5-7 new books each month. You can gift 3, 6 or 12 months of books.

two: I got my wedding bouquet from a company called Idlewild Floral. My bouquet was handmade, dried and I LOVE it. They have a Bouquet of the Season Club where the recipient will get a spring, summer, autumn and winter bouquet. I am not sure if it’s $95/season or $95/year, so you’d have to ask. (Guessing it’s $95/season).

three: This one is for the puzzle lovers — this is a Jiggy Puzzle Subscription that delivers a local artist designed 500-piece puzzle to your pal each month for 3 or 6 months. Each puzzle comes in a reusable drawstring bag and puzzle glue to keep as wall art if they choose. So fun!

four: A funny gift from a company with a funny name — this is a SOCK subscription from Foot Cardigan, where the recipient gets a new pair of socks every month. Lots of designs, perfect for the stylish sock sporter in your life.

five: Who doesn’t love ice cream? This Jeni’s Pint of the Month club is the perfect gift for whoever has a perpetual sweet tooth. The subscription includes 4 pints each month (often with new unreleased flavors!) and they offer 3, 6 and 12 month options.

six: Mental health matters and if you know someone who might need a little extra support, this Headspace subscription is sure to help. WIth therapists, tools and coaching available at the ready, this is a sweet gift.

seven: Have you heard of Masterclass? This is a great gift for the curious learners in your life. From cooking to acting, to science to career, there’s a class for everyone on there.

eight: This is a cool subscription box (a la splurge) — Breo Boxes include 4-8 items that revolve around tech, gadgets, home goods, and more, curated to fit the season - making this the best, practical, and thoughtful surprise for whomever you gift!

nine: Last but not least, HOT ONES. If you aren’t familiar with the youtube show, Hot Ones, the host, Sean, interviews celebrities where they eat a hot wings and answers questions, and the wings get hotter as the questions continue. If you have someone in your life who loves wings, this Hot Sauce Subscription is for them!
