Best food and drink subscription gifts that deliver nationwide

We know it’s been said countless times before, but food subscriptions are, quite literally, the gifts that keep on giving. There’s nothing more exciting than receiving a bag of your favourite coffee beans, or a hand-selected box of cheese straight to your door every month. We all deserve something to look forward to, and a monthly foodie parcel is one of the best gifts you can give, in our opinion. So, if you’re looking for a present that has actual longevity, then consider a food or drinks subscription gift this year.

Nowadays, there’s a subscription for pretty much everything. From chocolate to cheese, beer to wine, tea to coffee, and everything in between, you can get your favourite gourmet goodies delivered on a monthly basis so that you never have to go without again. That’s why we’ve included a wide range of delicious products in our round-up of the best food subscription gifts right now, to ensure there’s something for everyone, and to prove the astounding breadth of choice on offer.

Alongside the thrill of receiving a present in the post every month, subscriptions are a great way to discover new products and brands, with many offering an ever-rotating roster of artisan products. Beer52, for example, promises that you’ll ‘never drink the same beer twice’, so you can always be sure to try something new. Many also give customers the option to pause or skip their subscription at any time, giving you greater flexibility over when you receive your delivery. To make things nice and easy, we've separated out the best food subscriptions and the best drink subscriptions, so you can quickly skip to the section that's right for you. Got a coffee-lover in your life, for example? You know where to head for a gift they'll love.

The Fine Cheese Co.

What: Everyone has a die-hard cheese-lover in their life who would go weak at the knees for a cheese subscription gift, and we think we’ve found the perfect one. We like that The Fine Cheese Co. offers lots of flexibility with its subscription, as many people consume cheese at differing rates. You can choose which month you’d like to receive each box, and whether you’d like to buy a three-month, six-month or year-long subscription. There are extra ways to personalise the offering, too, like selecting a vegetarian-only cheese box, or to opt out from receiving blue cheese or goat’s cheese, for instance. Each box contains four artisan cheeses (about 800g in total) and a pack of crackers, as well as tasting notes and a cheese card guide.
How much: From £108 for three months

It works out at about £40 per box, but also includes a tasting notes card, a video of one of its cheesemongers talking through each cheese, and a personalised welcome letter – making it a really special gift!

True lovers of tinned fish will be able to tell the difference in quality from the supermarket stuff. Plus, we love the gorgeous design of each tin! The classic option includes a mixture of mackerel, tuna and sardines, but you can always opt for just anchovies, sardines or spicy varieties if you prefer.
How much: From £58 for three months

How much: From £120 for three boxes (£40 a box) 
Buy now: The Cocktail Society

Tambia

What: There are lots of artisan coffee brands out there, but we like Tambia because it owns its own farms in Colombia, so rather than sourcing from suppliers across the globe, it has total oversight over the entire farm-to-cup process. Its single origin beans are hand-planted, hand-picked and hand-processed, ensuring the most delicious beans and a really honest product. We like its Castillo medium roast ground coffee, with notes of dark chocolate and summer berries. Choose to have a packet delivered every two or four weeks, depending on how fast you drink it.
How much: From £6.75 per month
Buy now: Tambia

Batch Coffee

What: Batch Coffee does a fine job of sniffing out the best smaller, micro-roasters in the UK, rather than the more major companies that everyone knows. For real fanatics, it’s a great way to broaden your coffee horizons, and each box contains lots of information about what’s included that month. Boxes contain two 200g bags of coffee, so you can try a couple of different types and compare. A great one for keen coffee addicts (sorry, enthusiasts).
How much: £17.99 per month on rolling contract
Buy now: Batch Coffee Club

Good & Proper

What: When you subscribe to Good & Proper’s tasty tea subscription, you get an extra 10% off for being a loyal customer. What else is great about these guys? All their teas are sourced from 13 trusted suppliers across the globe, that pay well above Fairtrade prices. They’re also big on brewing, and you can expect your parcel to include notes on how to achieve the best possible flavour from each cup. Finally, all its packaging is fully compostable and 100% plastic-free. Simply choose your favourite teas, and the frequency you’d like to receive them, then sit back and look forward to your monthly tea care package.
How much: From £6.50 per month
Buy now: Good & Proper

Bird & Blend

What: This wholesome offering by Bird & Blend includes three loose leaf teas per month for the modest price of £9. Its all-natural teas are a favourite amongst those in the know, with three box types on offer (three, six or 12 months).

Majestic Wine Club

What: Majestic’s wine subscription includes 12 bottles delivered every three months, which feels like a manageable amount when it’s nice and spread out. There are three case types available – Discovery, M.W Tour and M.W Grand Tour – which can be tailored depending on what level of seasoned wine explorer you are. The Discovery Case is £99 for 12 bottles, which works out at £8.25 per bottle, and includes recipes, food pairings, wine tasting tips and more. You can choose to receive only reds or only whites too, if you have a preference.
How much: From £99 for three months

Shop Cuvee

What: Natual wine is a phenomen that’s been around for thousands of years, but it’s only recently that it’s started gaining the attention it deserves. If you’re not sure what it is, go and have a little read of our guide to natural wine. If you do, or know someone who does, then this natural wine subscription will go down a treat. It’s a little expensive, but if you’re a true natural wine lover then you’re already aware that you have to shell out for the good stuff. We like that you can manage your subscription from your phone, skip or cancel anytime, and you can choose to receive one, three or six bottles in the post.
How much: From £30 per month
Buy now: Shop Cuvee

Little Gin Box

What: This affordable gin subscription is a low-commitment, high-reward offering that sees independent, artisan and craft brands delivered to your door for as little as £10 a month. Choose between monthly rolling or fixed term subscriptions, which see the team carefully select two 50ml bottles of gin for a package compact enough to fit through your letterbox. There’s also the option to swap one bottle of gin for rum instead, if you prefer to mix and match.
How much: £10 per month
Buy now: Little Gin Box

Beer52

What: Beer52 is one of the most well-known beer subscriptions on the block, and for good reason. These guys put some serious time into tasting the best brews on the market, with a promise to customers that ‘you’ll never drink the same beer twice’. Each monthly box includes eight exciting beers, plus salty snacks and a magazine. You can also choose whether you receive mixed beers or light beers, although if you’re not a fan of stouts, then we recommend going for the light beers option.
How much: £27 per month

Hotel Chocolat

What: Hotel Chocolat are here to broaden your hot chocolate horizons with their range of indulgent flavours, from peanut butter to black forest gateau.
