As the holidays creep closer, that familiar gift-giving panic starts to set in. Shipping deadlines are looming, wrapping is never-ending, and then there’s always that one friend who already has everything—or the one who insists they have “too much stuff.” So, what’s a thoughtful gift giver to do?
This year, we’re leaning into the gift that truly keeps on giving: subscription boxes. And not just any boxes—food and drink ones that deliver high-quality ingredients and culinary essentials all year long. From popcorn and olive oil to even mac and cheese, we’ve rounded up some of our favorites, including a few that just so happen to come from our own Shop. Here are 11 of our top picks to help you give a gift they’ll enjoy long after the holidays have passed.
1. Grass-Fed Culture Cream Butter subscription
Banner’s subscription delivers four different, grass-fed butters every three months (the ultimate culinary luxury for your morning toasts). From sea salt to roasted garlic, the flavors amp up any meal—though we love it most on roasted veggies.
2. Cheerie Lane Popcorn of the Month Club
Perfect for any snack obsessives or movie buffs, this monthly box delivers three exciting, exclusive popcorn pods that go straight into a pot for popping. Plus, they’ll get fun popcorn-themed goodies with each delivery.
3. Atlas Coffee Club
Upgrade your friend’s morning coffee with an Atlas Coffee Club subscription. They deliver handpicked single-origin beans from the world’s top coffee-growing regions, and you can choose from 3, 6, or 12 months of freshly roasted beans delivered right to their door.
4. Grove and Vine Olive Oil Membership

11. Murray's Mac and Cheese club
This is not a dream. Yes, you can get two 32-ounce, chef-made macs delivered to your door each month. One is the classic cheesy version, and the other is an exclusive, rotating specialty flavor, giving them two options for a ready-to-go comforting meal.
