Looking for a gift (or a good distraction while you're socially distancing) that'll bring a smile to someone throughout the year? Try thinking outside the box—figuratively, that is. Subscription boxes continue to be a favorite trend, especially since they're literally the gift that keeps on giving. These are some of our favorite travel-inspired subscription boxes, guaranteed to make you feel like you’ve traveled the world while you're stuck at home (and sans standing in the airport security line).

1. Try the World

Want to give kids a taste of the world, but jetting off to Italy or Thailand just isn’t realistic right now? Try The World takes you on a culinary journey to a different country every month. This cool subscription box for families is filled with all-natural, traditional foods, and comes with a culture guide telling the story behind each product, as well as recipes to make with them. Each box of treats promises to be carefully curated by award-winning chefs and directly sourced from the country of origin. Past boxes have highlighted France, Brazil, Morocco and more.

2. Priority Pass

Even people who love to travel can grow tired of the hassles and wait times at the airport. Reduce airport anxiety with the subscription that makes airport travel easier and more luxurious. Instead of waiting around the gate for your flight, a Priority Pass membership lets you head straight to one of their 1,300 member airport lounges worldwide, where you can relax in a comfortable seat and enjoy free Wi-Fi and complimentary food and drink (even alcohol!). Many even offer free pre-packaged meals you can take with you on your flight. A Priority Pass gives you first-class treatment at the airport, even when flying economy. No more sitting on the floor by an outlet to charge your phone!

3. Quaintly & Co

Attention all anglophiles! This box is for you. With Quaintly & Co, each month a new British-themed box will be sent out. Past themes range from specific English regions, books (Outlander, anyone?), anything British! For tea fans, try their Tea & Book Box. They also have 3 one-off boxes: Treats, Heritiage Mug & Tea Towel, and Tea-Time Mystery box. Their monthly boxes come in two sizes: Quintessentials (10 items) or Classic (5 to 6 items).

4. Nonna Box

Want to take a trip to the old country? Specialty Italian foods can be hard to find, even in gourmet shops. But Nonna's best condiments, cookies, pastas, sauces and more, can be found in the Nonna Box. Each month’s delivery comes with tried-and-true recipes from Italian grandmas, along with their bios (so sweet!). Recipe cards also have detailed recommendations for wine pairings. Buon appetito!

5. Little Passports

When that tiny blue cardboard suitcase by Little Passports arrives with its pretend passport and wall-sized map, a lifetime love of travel will take flight.

8. Italian Olive Oil of the Month Club

Foodies will fall in love with this monthly subscription box delivering a 500 ml bottle of olive oil each month. Just like wine, good olive oil is a liquid luxury that has its own nuances. With the Italian Olive Oil of the Month Club, an olive oil from a different region of Italy is featured each month. All are extra virgin, cold pressed from small, award-winning farms. Each delivery comes with details about the olive oil, including the best ways to use it and how the oil is made.

9. Birchbox

Even before airlines started charging for checking luggage, a growing number of people were joining the carry-on club. If, like me, you’re a lady who likes to travel light, check out Birchbox, one of the best beauty subscription boxes. Each month’s subscription box delivery contains five travel-sized beauty samples, perfect for packing in a carry-on. And if you find a product you just love, you can buy the full-size version. Pretty simple!

10. Love with Food

Want your kids to fall in love with healthy foods? This cool subscription box for families is filled with snacks you don’t have to feel bad about. Love with Food snacks contain no chemicals, artificial flavoring, MSG or high fructose corn syrup. In fact, each of the specially curated snacks passes their 73 banned ingredients checklist.
