From protein-packed snack drops to candle-lit self-care and beauty-boosting gummies, these subscription boxes make seriously good gifts – because who doesn’t love a little monthly joy?
When it comes to Christmas gifting, subscription boxes are the ultimate foolproof choice. Not only do they feel thoughtful and personalised, but they also offer that rare kind of excitement that lasts long after the wrapping paper’s been recycled.
They’re ideal for those tricky-to-buy-for people (you know the ones). Rather than guessing their favourite scent or which gym leggings they’ll actually wear, let the experts do the hard work.
Whatever your price point, buying a three-, six- or 12-month subscription is the gift that keeps on giving beyond the festive period.
Here, L360 reveals the best boxes to gift (or treat yourself to) this Christmas.
