What could be better than getting a present at Christmas?
Well, getting one every month for the rest of the year.
There’s something that feels wonderfully retro about a subscription service, like when you’d get magazines as a kid; always excited to see what would come each month.
These days there’s a subscription for pretty much anything you could think of, making it the perfect gift idea for the person in your life who already has everything.
Here are our top picks from Irish businesses this Christmas.
