Marina Tatas from Finder shares her favourite subscription box gifts just in time for Christmas.
Subscription boxes are a great way to keep delighting your loved ones long after the festive season ends.
Subscription box gifts are certainly not a new concept, but the idea has gained popularity in recent times – and we’re expecting an even bigger rise this year. Not only can they be sent and received virtually (without human contact), subscription boxes also have the ability to continue to bring happiness, long after Christmas Day ends.
We’ve rounded up our absolute favourite subscription services to give as a gift this Christmas.
Name: Bellabox
How often it’s shipped: Monthly
Looking for the perfect gift for your beauty-obsessed bestie? Bellabox is your go-to. Each box is packed with five different beauty samples covering a whole range of categories.
In terms of gifting, all you need to do is choose between the three and six-month options. Then, a profile sheet is sent to the recipient so that the company can get to know their beauty needs. Once that’s done, you can sit back and relax as your loved one is spoilt with new gifts every month.
Price: $58.95 for the three-month plan, $109.95 for the six-month plan
Name: T2 Tea Subscription
How often it’s shipped: Every three months
If you know someone who is obsessed with drinking tea, this is the perfect gift idea. To get started, you need to sign up and become a Tea Society member. Then, every three months, you will receive four loose leaf teas – a classic brew, a sneak peek of a new flavour, a wellness pick and something chosen by the in-house tea expert.
Alongside this, you’ll also get a booklet explaining the origin of the teas, how to brew them, recipe ideas and some fun facts.
Keep in mind that you can’t choose the flavours, so this probably isn’t ideal for those with picky taste buds.
Price: $35 per box (four a year)

This beauty box is for those who love to immerse themselves in the world of natural beauty. This box from Nourished Life provides you with a range of travel-sized beauty essentials, with the products adding up to a value of $30.

cruelty-free and sometimes vegan.
