19 Killer Food Subscriptions to Give This Holiday—Because You've Still Got Time!

Tick-tock! I blinked and somehow found myself within spitting distance of Christmas. I'm realizing I may have missed the shipping cut-off dates for many sites, but my list of unshopped-for loved ones still looms large.

If you find yourself similarly pressed for time, know that there are still plenty of thoughtful options out there. I've said before that the best presents to give are the ones you'd love to receive yourself. Luckily, there are a whole host of subscription gifts that fit this bill—and the best part is, the lucky giftee can benefit from your generosity long after the holiday season is over.

For the Best Type of Calendar That Ever Was

A new salami to kick off every month is on par with getting my monthly horoscope, TBH.

For Those Who Love Briny Bites

We might as well round out this charcuterie plate with some pucker-inducing veg, no?

For Those for Whom Ice Cream Is Seasonless

There's no way you can read a city guide on Portland and not come upon a mention of Salt & Straw. Lucky for us, the popular small-batch ice cream is available for nationwide delivery. Give the gift of five creamy, delicious Salt & Straw pints every month, get major karma points for life.

For Plant-Based Ice Cream-aholics

Trust me when I say I've had some not-so-good non-dairy ice creams in my time. That's why I just about fell off my chair when I tried Frankie & Jo's luscious Cured Persimmon Pudding (!) before realizing all of their offerings are 100 percent vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free. It's not just good for a plant-based ice cream―it's dang good ice cream, period.

---

For Those Who Insist Tea Will Be Their *Thing*

Do you know the difference between a tea and a tisane? Trying out new (and beautifully packaged) teas is made easy through Art of Tea's own club. The company imports teas from around the world directly, which they blend, custom-craft, and pack all by hand.

For Those Who Like Crafts

Craft beer, that is. Let The Original Craft Beer Club do the heavy-lifting by sourcing from all of the country's great microbreweries, and sending you a curated selection at the frequency of your choice.

This is the turn-up every dinner needs, from the utilitarian weeknight variety to the more elaborate weekend party.
