DRAFT: Gift Guide: Subscription Gifts
These subscription gifts are the gifts that keep on giving year round
The anticipation of opening gifts is as fun as the gifts themselves, in our humble opinion. Even when we have a pretty good idea what’s inside, the anticipation is part of the magic. That’s why we’re such big fans of subscription gifts. Subscription services are awesome when we sign up for them ourselves, but getting them as gifts is even better. These are great ideas for those loved ones you’re struggling to buy for, who already have it all, or who just love getting packages. They’re an awesome alternative to gift cards, too! Check out our list of a few of our favorite ideas!
Hello Fresh
What's better than cooking? Not having to shop for ingredients! With Hello Fresh, everything you need to create incredible meals is right in the box, including easy-to-follow instructions and from-the-farm ingredients.

Green Chef
Green Chef is all about fresh, sustainable ingredients, right down to their eco-friendly packaging!

Each recipe card and kit bag are color-coded so you can easily find what you need fast. All of their packaging is made from recycled, reusable, and/or compostable materials!
EveryPlate
We know that meal delivery services can be associated with premium pricing, and that's what makes EveryPlate different. Each meal costs less than $5, but without sacrificing quality! They've made minor tweaks and changes to make EveryPlate a little bit different, and those tiny changes allow for them to pass along major savings. Simple, delicious, easy meals. That's a real gift!
Yohana
Ever wondered how celebs do it all? They have help. And you know what? They aren't the only ones who deserve to get it. Yohana is the first ever concierge service that matches families with a team of specialists to manage their wildly busy lives.The service has been proven to save some families up to 10 hours per week they’d otherwise spend tackling their to-do list. Members are matched with a Guide who helps manage their family's goals, and a whole team of specialists who manage everything from household tasks (finding a housekeeper, scheduling forgettable renewals, researching alternative internet providers), to family to-dos (planning a birthday party, coordinating appointments, scheduling snacks for soccer practice) and experiences (find a place to donate old baby gear, plan a family weekend getaway, volunteer as a family). It's all managed via the app on your phone or desktop. This is the ultimate gift!
