• No matter who is the lucky recipient, a monthly subscription box is a great way to make someone feel special. That's why we've gathered up some of the best subscription clubs you can subscribe to.
• Wine aficionados will love Winc, snackers will love Universal Yums, and pet parents will flip for BarkBox. And there are plenty more where they came from.

What's the one thing better than receiving presents on your birthday and at the holidays? Receiving presents every single month of the year, that's what! And that's exactly what subscription boxes, also called gift-of-the-month clubs, offer.

While you might think these types of subscription boxes are only suited for giving to someone else, there's no reason not to buy one for yourself, as well. After all, you deserve to be treated every bit as well as you treat others, right? Just try to keep a smile off your face as you unwrap your monthly gift-to-yourself of coffee, games, gourmet delicacies, or whatever else it is you love best.

So if you've been wondering what to get for that special someone — whether that special someone is a significant other, family member, friend, or yourself — check out our list of some of the best subscription boxes around.
