Best Subscription Boxes For Teens: 9 Affordable Holiday Gifts For Teenage Girls And Guys

Teens can occasionally be a group that are hard to shop for during the holidays because their likes and dislikes can change as quickly as their social media posts. However, this year, Christmas shopping may not have to be as difficult, because there are several monthly subscription boxes that can be gifted that may also just be the perfect solution for picky teens.

Here's 9 great Subscription boxes that all of the teens in your life will be sure to love.

Why not allow them to make their phone itself the star of their posts by gifting them with a new fashionable case every month? Casely allows teens with iPhones to receive a new phone case every single month (they're free to skip a month or cancel at anytime), and the subscription is only $15.00 a month.

Using code CHEER40 will get you 40 percent off the cost of the first month, as well as free shipping.
