Horti

Know someone who just can’t keep a plant alive? Help them grow a green thumb with Horti’s subscription box. Horti’s boxes start at just $28 a month, and will send you a hard-to-kill plant, along with a pot, and simple instructions for planting and caring for your new greenery. You can even choose to receive pet-friendly plants, for households with curious cats or dogs.

Simplicity Teas

Help the globetrotter in your life unwind after their last trip with a soothing cup of tea. Simplicity Teas boxes come in two sizes, Mini and Deluxe, with each featuring a selection of loose leaf teas, a reusable tea infuser, and brewing and tasting instructions. Each package, depending on the size, is good for roughly 20 to 40 cups of tea per month!

Spice Madam

Gift your favorite foodies the Spice Madam subscription box so that they can bring culinary travel home to their own kitchens. They’ll receive a curated box of global spices, recipes, a downloadable soundtrack to cook to, and fun facts every month.

Scentbird

For a taste of travel-sized luxury, you can’t go wrong with gifting a Scentbird subscription. Each month, Scentbird sends subscribers a generously-sized tester bottle of a perfume or cologne of their choice. Users can start with a quiz to narrow down their fragrance preference and see top suggestions, or browse the entire catalogue. Best of all, the tester bottles are TSA-compliant, so they can throw them in their carry-on.

TheraBox

Sometimes the only thing the jet-setter on your list needs is some time to unwind. Help them transform their time at home (however short) into a personal oasis with the TheraBox self-care subscription. Each box is packed with full-sized items, for an average per box value of $200+. From aromatherapy to relaxing face masks, this box will help travelers recharge before their next big trip.

VINEBOX

Send the vino-lover on your list a package from VINEBOX. Available in one, three, and six month subscriptions, each package includes six 100ml glass vials of wine, sourced from small vineyards across the world.
