One of the best parts of the holiday season is seeing everyone get excited about unwrapping their gifts (and of course, unwrapping your own). But what if I told you there’s a way the person you’re gifting could experience that excitement over and over (and over!) again? With a subscription box, they absolutely can! 

And if you happen to be shopping for a foodie this season, then it seems only right to get them a food-related subscription box, packed with all sorts of goodies. 

Whether they love chocolate, coffee, bacon, or bread, or they love arranging their charcuterie board perfectly, there’s a subscription box for them. There are even boxes that will ship your loved one snacks from different parts of the world, so they can get inspired before planning their next great adventure. And what’s nice about many of the subscription boxes you’ll find below is that you can decide how long the duration should be — whether it’s a single month, a few months to get them acquainted with the subscription, or even 12 months to have that present-opening excitement last them all year!

Universal Yums
$26.00

Packed with up to seven sweet and savory snacks from a specific country around the globe, the Yum Box is a super fun gift for those who love travel and food. I’ve personally been a subscriber to the Yum Box since 2020, and I always get so excited to find out what country the snacks will be coming from every month!

2 / 11
Platterful
$199.00

For the person who loves to host — whether that’s an intimate wine night or a major holiday party — get them this Charcuterie Kit from Platterful. You can get a three-month subscription for your giftee for $199, if you go for the standard size. In the kit, your giftee will get a couple of cheeses (mine featured a delicious tomato-basil Gouda) a meat option, condiments and/or spreads, a couple of little snacks to go with (think: nuts, olives, or chocolate), and some crackers to round it out.

3 / 11
Bean Box
$136.00

Those who take their morning coffee very seriously will be all about Bean Box’s Curator’s Coffee of the Month Club. With this subscription, your giftee will get a 12-ounce bag every month for a duration of three, six, or 12 months (depending on what you go with), and you can opt for ground coffee or whole beans (depending on what your giftee prefers). You can even choose what kind of roast they’ll get (and yes, decaf is an option!).

Wildgrain
$59.00
was $99.00

You really can’t beat good bread. And with this Wildgrain Custom Box, you’ll be able to gift all the good bread (and pasta and pastries). You can fill your giftee’s box with six different goodies, including plant-based and gluten-free options so everyone can partake!

5 / 11
Tokyo Treat
$37.50

Want to load your loved one up with some amazing snacks from Japan? Gift them a TokyoTreat Box! Each box has a fun theme and comes packed with sweet and savory snacks, drinks, and even instant noodles! The box I sampled featured a bag of Mont Blanc KitKats — which might now be my favorite KitKat flavor — as well as pull-apart sea animal gummies and Japanese plum soda, among so many other tasty goodies!

6 / 11
Murray's Cheese
$170.00

Listen, I enjoy a mac and cheese out of the box (you know the one) when I’m in a pinch for dinner. But it turns out that you can have gourmet mac and cheese on hand that I’m willing to bet will make you put that boxed mac back in your pantry. Murray’s Cheese has a Mac and Cheese Club that will send two macs (including an exciting exclusive flavor, so you’ll never get bored) right to you or a giftee in three-, six-, or 12-month increments.

7 / 11
Cratejoy
$45.65

Your favorite baker won’t be able to get enough of this fun baking kit! Every month is centered around an exciting new recipe (for example, November’s is a gingerbread cake roll with eggnog whipped cream). To pull it off, they’ll not only get the recipe, of course, but they’ll also receive many of the ingredients needed to recreate it in their own kitchen. Plus, the box even comes with a baking tool they’ll be able to use for this recipe (and keep for their future baking adventures!).

Goldbelly
$249.95

For the foodie who’s open to trying anything, this might just be the subscription for them. With each box, they’ll be treated to a different delicious food — whether that’s an indulgent cake or sumptuous barbecue — every month for three months. Whether or not they share … well, that’s up to them!

9 / 11
Shaker & Spoon
$169.00

This is the gift to get the home bartender this holiday season. They’ll be able to craft a few cool cocktails at home with one box. As a quick note, the boxes don’t have alcohol included in them, which works out well for the giftee who will be excited to pull from their own bar cart. Available in one-, three-, six-, or 12-month increments, this gift subscription is cool for the fact you don’t need to plug in all of your giftee’s details. They’ll get this gift by email, and then they can take care of the rest!

10 / 11
Harry & David
$114.99

Chocolates are such a classic gift, but you can put a little spin on it with this Chocolate of the Month Club subscription. Monthly for three, six, or 12 months, your giftee will get a different set of chocolates (so they’ll be able to try a bunch of confections!). As an example, this month they can expect to get 20 sea salt caramels with dark and milk chocolate coatings. Your favorite chocolate-lover won’t be able to get enough!

11 / 11
Cratejoy
$144.99

Whether your partner is obsessed with bacon or you’re looking for a way to say thank you to the loved one hosting you this holiday season, this Bacon of the Month Club makes for such a tasty gift! If you’re going the thank-you route, you can grab a one- or three-month subscription for them to try out. Or, for something more long-term, order the six- or 12-month option. Either way, your giftee will get two one-pound packs of bacon each month in different flavors. Breakfast just got a little more exciting!
