2020 Holiday Subscription Box Gift Guide for Women

Want to send someone the gift that keeps on giving? Subscription boxes will keep the holiday spirit going long after the season is over.  These popular boxes make gift-giving a breeze since they are perfectly curated to fit any woman on your list.  There’s an option for everyone’s personality, making it easy to choose a subscription box that suits their interests.  Plus, many of these companies curate limited-edition products and expertly sourced goods from independent makers, which is a great way for your loved ones to discover new brands.  Here’s our guide to the subscription boxes we want to give (and receive) this year.

While we have reviewed some of these boxes, we encourage all readers to research each company prior to purchasing. All thoughts and opinions on boxes are strictly from the author’s point of view and we do not accept payment for reviews.
