10 subscriptions and memberships for gifts that keep on giving

Subscription services provide a gift that keeps on giving long after the holiday season is over. They're a way for the giftee to try something new, be it food, television, personal care products or beverages.

This list features subscriptions and membership opportunities that provide wine, beer, beauty products, streaming services, ice cream and more. So, instead of spending hours in stores searching for the perfect gift, think about the subscription services people in your life would love and gift a month or even a year of that subscription.

With Christmas quickly approaching, shipping companies announced their shipping deadlines to receive items in time for the holiday. For FedEx and UPS, the ground shipping deadline is December 18th, versus December 14th when shipped through USPS. But for those looking for more last-minute options, all three carriers have various shipping options that, while more expensive, would deliver items more quickly. Buyers can use overnight shipping from UPS or FedEx to order as late as December 22nd or 23rd, respectively.

The Winc membership itself is free, but you can select how many credits you want loaded onto the account each month, and that goes towards the many bottles of wine Winc has to offer. All the bottles are also steeply discounted.
