1. Recently
getrecently Look what came in the mail #recently 50 gorgeous photos on @mohawkpaper #portrait in @getrecently #Recently #getRecently
You know the drill. You have your iPhone, and you take a ton of pictures on that iPhone. You're practically an amateur photographer at this point.
Then, what do you do with those gorgeous pictures you snapped? Odds are, you peruse them on your phone, you post two or three to Facebook, and then you wind up deleting them to free up memory space on your phone.
Recently will change all that. They print your camera roll in a stunning monthly magazine for only $8.99 per month.

When you open the app, it displays a grid of your 100 most recent photos. You don't need to select or edit, but it's easy to do so if you do want to. Then you just tap publish. A gorgeous magazine will be printed and mailed within the first week of the next month.
If you want to gift a Recently subscription, it's easy. You can send a 3, 6, or 12 month subscription to someone you love. Are you enticed? So are we. Get it here.
2. Cocktail Courier

Do you love hosting parties? Are you a mixologist expert, stirring up delicious drinks in your apartment, slinging those drinks off to all your guests every weekend?
We're with you. We love when we're entertaining company and they gush over our mixing skills. We also love when we have the means to whip up delectable, strong, well-made cocktails for ourselves.
If you purchase a subscription to Cocktail Courier, you'll get a well-crafted gift to your front door every month. It'll be a box, and it'll contain all ingredients for 4-12 expertly curated cocktails.
How do they choose the cocktails? It's simple. They hit up award-winning recipes from top professional bartenders from around the country. Their cocktail lists change every month.
Some months it's whiskey, the next month it's tequila, rum, or gin, and then maybe the next month it'll be vodka. We figured that'd tempt you. Buy a subscription for yourself, or buy a subscription for someone you love. Get it here.
