Looking to send a gift to that special someone but unsure of the difference between a subscription and a gift purchase? We'd be happy to clarify a few differences:

With our gifts, you select the number of months you would like your gift recipient to receive a package and you pay for all of the shipments in advance. Upon completion of your gift purchase, an account is automatically created for your recipient using the email address entered during sign-up, so they will have a separate account from the purchasers where they receive member pricing in our online store for as long as their gift is active. We'll send them an email on the 1st of the month explaining that we are preparing a package and when to expect it. Please note, tracking information is sent to the purchaser so we strongly encourage you to forward it to your recipient so they are aware of their pending deliveries. Once the last package has shipped, the gift is considered complete and there is no need to cancel.

With our subscriptions, it is ongoing with payments processed on the 15th of each month for the following month's package (for example, you would be charged on May 15th for the June package arriving mid-June, and your next bill date would be June 15th for the July package arriving mid-July, etc.). The packages will continue to arrive monthly until you choose to cancel. It's important to note that you must cancel before the 15th to avoid a package the following month. As there can only be one email on the account, all correspondence regarding upcoming shipments is sent to the email on file.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
