BySanna ChuJun 7, 2021 | 2 comments

Updated 10/28/20 to include information about a bonus box Birchbox is now offering with gift card purchases!

The only thing better than giving (and receiving) a subscription gift box is making the holiday season last 6 months – or all year round – without breaking the bank. Subscription gift boxes are a fun gift for loved ones or your secret Santa, they also work as stocking stuffers, and not only are they great holiday gifts but depending on how long you subscribe, they could even double as birthday gifts or Valentine's Day gifts. Subscription boxes really are the best gifts that keep on giving. That's why we've scoured our list for boxes that are regularly $15/month or less, and picked our top favorites and bestsellers for gifting to your BFF, white elephant gift recipient, and the whole family. Get your gifting done on-time and under budget!

FYI, the prices posted here for “Say It With A Sock” might not be accurate. Seems to be $19.99/month on their website (less with longer subscriptions).

Actually I think it is available at that price after all. My mistake. But harder to find because the site keeps directing you to the $19.99 plan with 2 pairs per month.
