Shop every type of subscription box to gift to loved ones anytime.

Unless you're a Travis Barker who's able to blind your Kourtney Kardashian with a diamond ring, then the secret to your gifting success this holiday season may lie in a gift subscription box that's tailored to your recipient. 

Subscription boxes make great gifts any time of year, but especially when you're shopping for a bunch of family members or friends at once -- like, say, around Black Friday. (Hint, hint...) And thankfully for the gift-giving crowd, it seems like every day there's a new kind of monthly subscription box that would make the perfect gift for someone we know.

Here's what we recommend if you want to cross off everyone on your list in a single online shopping session: Make a list of loved ones you're shopping for this year, then find the match below based on their interests and hobbies. 

From dog parents to fashion lovers, keep reading for the best gift subscription boxes for all the people in your life. (And for a whole list of food-focused subscription boxes, see the recs from our friends at Rachael Ray!).
