Subscription services for regular, physical goods are a blessing. They may seem gimmicky and lazy at first, but once you realize the benefit of delegating and automating a part of your life, you'll jump right on it.
Of course, it takes the customers to realize that they do in fact tend to run out of boxers, socks and other supplies regularly, but people in their twenties should already have had that epiphany.
In my country, there's currently an online (e-)grocer where I can buy a week's worth of groceries (with no risk of buying snacks when I shop with the munchies!) and use that half-to-one-hour time for each trip on something else.
They even accept return deposit bottles so I don't have to go down to the grocer and redeem them.
What's gimmicky laziness to one is optimization, delegation and automation to someone else. :)
