Who doesn't love a surprise in the post?

Last week, we brought you a roundup of 7 of our favourite dad-approved subscription boxes. During the last two years, subscription and gift boxes became a safe and efficient way to treat our loved ones, and we saw the rise of small businesses offering a variety of gift boxes, including pet gift boxes and curated beauty and home boxes. And now, despite being able to offer gifts in person, subscription and gift boxes still remain one of our favourite ways of gifting - a gift that keeps on giving!

We've put together some box ideas for the mamas in your life. Read on to discover our favourite subscription and gift boxes right now!
