🎁THE GIFT:

The “subscription service" Gift

Everyone I work with (I’m a nurse) knows that I love to snack. I generally eat salty snacks that aren’t traditionally considered “healthy”. Last year, I publicly committed to eating healthier so as a holiday gift the doctor I work with gave me a healthy snack subscription box for 6 months (from DeliciousDoor). It introduced me to a lot of delicious new snacks that I would never have tried on my own. I found myself thanking her every month for such a thoughtful, yet practical gift.
