Stance: socks worn by NBA players, skateboarders, and musicians alike
As a kid, no one was ever excited to receive socks, but it's a different story for adults — especially when the socks are as stylish and comfortable as Stance's.

Carnivore Club: cured meats to snack on
Hopefully they'll invite you to the picnic after they receive a box of delicious, handcrafted cured meats from Carnivore Club.

More than one area of the globe boasts amazing coffee, and around-the-world subscription Atlas Coffee Club is out to prove that by sending coffee from a different region every month. Each order includes tailored brewing recommendations and a postcard with information about the country's coffee growing methods so they'll fully appreciate the flavor and history of each cup.
Vinebox: glasses of wine to help them wind down at the end of the day

This personalized wine flight arrives on a quarterly schedule. Your recipient also receives a $15 credit to buy the full-sized bottle of their favorite sample.
Winc: full-sized bottles of wine to enjoy and share with friends
The other wine subscription option, better suited to gift to frequent party hosts, is Winc.
