In 2014, gift boxes came out of nowhere to be a go-to present for just about any occasion. It makes sense, there are so many different subscription boxes out there now, it's no longer about getting someone a terrible magazine subscription or fruit of the month club membership. Now you can personalize the subscription gift experience by getting someone boxes of random merchandise, or cookies, or booze! It's the perfect present!

So, with the holidays fast approaching, here are the best subscription boxes money can buy. There's something here for just about anyone, and while the prices vary (a lot), there's bound to be something in everyone's price range.

Zingerman's Bacon Club
Starts at: $99 for 3 months

It's a mail-order subscription for bacon. It's hard to say much else about it - it's a mail-order subscription for bacon. It is, quite possibly, the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of mail. Each month comes with a new variety, and the first month always includes a few trinkets on the side. Sure, it doesn't have the surprise factor of other gift boxes...but it's bacon.

Cravory Cookies One Dozen Subscription
Starts at: $19 per mo.

Everyone needs dessert, right? Well, with Cravory Cookies One Dozen subscription, that's exactly what you get. Every month, each package comes with two of each Flavor of the Month - and that's only the baseline package. Cravory's subscription bundles can be doubled, meaning that whoever is getting the boxes every month is literally showered in cookies. It doesn't get much better than that for your sweet tooth.

BarkBox
Starts at: $29 per month

This one's a little different, but who's to say that man's best friend shouldn't get a gift every now and then? The BarkBox is tailor-made for dog lovers, with each subscription based around the individual dog. It doesn't matter if you have a Great Dane or a chihuahua at home, they'll be covered. Really, the only thing missing from the BarkBox is the dog itself...

Bespoke Post Gift Subscription
Starts at: $45 per box

The Bespoke Post gift box is for the true gentlemen (or anyone that wants to feel fancy). This isn't some random box full of stuff, this is only the highest-quality men's products: barware, fashion accessories, spices and tools for everyday life are all a part of the Bespoke Post offerings. If the man in your life is looking to take things to a more sophisticated level, this is the gift box for him.

Taster's Club Whiskey-of-the-Month
Starts at: $69 per month

There's a certain elegance to fine alcohol, and if there's someone in your life that agrees, then the Taster's Club Whiskey-of-the-Month is the way to go. In addition to featuring various bottles of whiskey, scotch and bourbon, each subscription is enrolled into the Taster's Club Whiskey101 course, so you can learn about the alcohol as you drink it!

Birchbox Gift Subscription
Starts at: $30 per month

While products for both men and women are available, chances are, Birchbox is going to appeal to the female crowd more often than not. Each month, subscribers will receive a box full of five high-end samples, each from a selection of different beauty products. It's the perfect makeup sampler kit: instead of trying out shade after shade or lotion after lotion, just try the Birchbox, and find something that fits for a fraction of the cost.

Loot Crate
Starts at: $13.37 per month

It's a fact: geeks love merchandise. Go to any convention and you'll see how true that statement is...or, better yet, get them a subscription to Loot Crate! Each month has a new, random theme, such as Capcom games, villains, or giant robots. This gift subscription isn't for the casual fans, so expect items like limited-edition comics and exclusive figures or t-shirts. If you've got a nerd in the family, chances are, they'll want a Loot Crate.

Why give a single present on Christmas Day when you can give a gift that'll last for months? It's basic economics (also, people love free stuff)!
