Here’s a friendly PSA that we’re only a few days away from Christmas.  If you’re still scrambling for a gift idea for the last person on your list, you may want to consider a subscription box.  See, what I’ve learned this holiday season is that there’s a whole world of great items that can now all be delivered to the front door all year ’round.  And who doesn’t love receiving a package of goodies each month?! 

From organic food delivery (for you and even your dog), to fresh blooms and even healing crystals, subscription boxes are hot on the scene right now.  I mean, I’m amazed by the offerings out there, and I know that they’d make great, unique gift ideas for that hard-to-buy-for person on your Christmas list.  So if you need a little last minute inspiration, you should check out the list below.  I included eight subscription box services below that I know I’d personally love to receive.  Do you see anything on the list that would be a home-run this year??  Cheers, Kat
