Make the magic of holidays last all year by gifting one of these thoughtful subscription boxes. Whether you decide to give them a full year of boxes or just a few months, your loved ones will have something to look forward to once the January gloom sets in. From food and drinks to candles, books, coffee, or crafts, show everyone on your list just how much you love them by gifting them a gift that lasts beyond the new year. Best of all, you can buy these ahead of time or at the very last minute (like, on Christmas day) and they’ll never know; just make sure to let them know that something fun is coming to their doorstep.

Just as one candle burns out, a new one will arrive on their doorstep. These are hand-poured in New York City, are made of a natural coconut wax blend, and have a burn time of 40-50 hours. You can choose the same scent every month (like smokey Fireplace & Clove, or the earthy smell, Woods) if you know they have a favorite, or pick the “variety” option so they’ll be surprised by a new aroma each month.
