Shop Local: San Diego Subscriptions & Memberships That Keep on Giving Gift Guide
Meat of the month? Coffee of the week? These subscriptions will keep the joy coming.
If you’re like me, there are always people in your family (I’m looking at you Mom and Dad) who swear they “don’t need anything”. Our folks have gotten to an age where they have everything they need, and they buy everything they want (#goals). These are the kind of people who love to try new things and have experiences, rather than accumulate more things, and subscription-based gifts are a great option. All of these subscriptions come from local small businesses, so by giving these gifts, you're also giving back to the community.
