Shawna LevetCreative gifts for every occasion
A monthly gift subscription or an annual membership is a great surprise for just about any occasion. From birthdays and holidays to graduations, a subscription makes a great surprise! They even work as a fun “thank you” to a top client! It’s a creative way to treat someone to a gift they can look forward to all year long. While magazine subscriptions are a classic choice, you can find monthly subscriptions to just about anything you can imagine. You can find memberships for food, beverage samplers, toiletries, and even socks!
We’ve pulled together some subscription ideas for everyone in your life who travels often (or wishes they could)! Here are some awesome gift memberships for travel-lovers!
