Picking out gifts can be challenging. With the holiday season drawing nearer, people scramble to find relevant gifts that their recipients will love. I often find myself spending way too much time brainstorming gift ideas. The hardest part is knowing that the gift you buy might not be fully appreciated or loved by the person you are giving it to. As heartbreaking as this is, I still believe that finding a gift that a person really enjoys is so rewarding. There is something special about watching a family or loved one open a gift and seeing their eyes light up, “Wow, this is perfect!”.
If you are having troubling thinking about gift ideas or feel like you can’t find anything to give to a particular person in your life, I may have a solution for you. This gift idea has worked 90% of the time for me. It’s a subscription to a monthly candy box! Now I know what you’re thinking… A candy box subscription, really? Yes! Here’s the thing; almost everyone loves candy, especially new candy from around the world. There are companies that will send a unique monthly box of candy directly to your door from different countries all over the world. If the person who you buy this box for doesn’t absolutely love it, they probably aren’t worth buying a gift for in the first place.

Now there are many different companies that sell these candy boxes. The important thing to remember is that you must pick out the subscription that will most appeal to the gift recipient. Some companies like Treatsbox offer a wide range of candy, and each box offers a new selection with current and old favorites. There are multiple differently sized boxes of candy that you can order, each one being at a different price point. For a gift idea, I would recommend small or medium size boxes. That way, on the off chance that your gift recipient doesn’t like the candy, they won’t be stuck with large amounts of unopened candy boxes, and you won’t be stuck with a larger price tag on your gift. The candy will come in a wide variety in each box, so there will never be a moment of boredom when opening your monthly box!
Another great candy box subscription is through a company called SnackCrate. The great thing about this company is that you can customize your box every month to cater to your specific tastes and preferences! Whether your gift recipient is more of a chocolate, sweet, savory, or spicy person, SnackCrate can deliver. These boxes also come from around the world, so you can send your family member or loved one candy that they have never seen or heard of! One of my friends sent me a box of candy from Turkey. I had so much fun exploring and learning about the different types of candy and other snacks from Turkey, and I even found some new favorites!

I hope that this was helpful to you in your search for gift ideas. Remember, the most important part about buying a gift for someone else is that your intentions are good. Finding something that your gift recipient will really enjoy can be difficult, but I have complete faith that you will be able to figure it out.
