Stitch Fix
Stitch Fix offers curated wardrobe boxes for the entire family. It is the perfect gift for someone who loves to look stylish, but doesn’t have the time to shop for themselves. Stitch Fix’s in-house stylists will curate each box based on a style quiz taken by the recipients and will deliver it on their schedule (on demand, biweekly, monthly or every three months). There’s a $20 initial styling fee, but it goes directly toward any purchases made, plus returns are free.
Shop it: starting at $20, stitchfix.com
Vinebox
For your gal pal who always loves to have a glass of wine at dinner, you can gift her a box of personalized wine flights with all the best wines of the moment. Each box comes with nine wines by the glass (10 cl each), for that perfect pour every time.
Shop it: $158 (two boxes over six months), vinebox.com
Copper Cow Coffee
For any caffeine addict, this is a must. Every coffee drinker knows that Vietnamese coffee is a bit stronger, a bit richer and a bit creamier since it uses condensed milk, but the process to make it can be a little tedious. Copper Cow Coffee makes this beloved Asian-style coffee not only easy to make, but also an easy one to give. Don’t be fooled though, this is not instant coffee. The coffee beans are grown and roasted in Vietnam, plus the milk is made from real California milk and has no artificial flavors or preservatives.
Shop it: $35 (20 coffees and 20 creamers), coppercowcoffee.com
Hawthorne
If you never know what to gift your husband, boyfriend or brother each year, Hawthorne is your answer. You’ll be able to send him the gift of two personalized colognes — one for “work” and one for “play” — tailored to his taste by Hawthorne’s team of expert perfumers who won Fragrance of the Year 10 times in the past. All he has to do is take a quick quiz to create his signature scents, or if you think you know him well enough, you can fill out the quiz for him and a gift box will be waiting at his door.
Shop it: starting at $60, hawthorne.co
Causebox
For your socially conscious cousin or friend, Causebox is the gift they never knew they wanted. Each box is carefully curated with lifestyle products like apparel, jewelry, beauty and more.

On top of this, Causebox works with several charities to support, empower and affect them for the greater good.
