The Internet has made life easier in so many ways, but until now we hadn't seen that one truly groundbreaking idea that can really change lives.

Billing itself as a solution for men "who never want to worry or think about buying socks again," Blacksocks will send you a new pair of black socks via mail every month.

This offer of socks in our mailbox got us wondering how many other mindless tasks could be completed through subscription.

So, grab some plastic money, pull up your new black knee-highs and let us introduce you to six subscriptions that will make life a little easier.


Presto
Emails -- so time consuming. All that time logging onto a computer and the painstaking reading and responding leaves a person mentally and physically exhausted. If only there were an easier way.

For just $12 a month, Presto will print out all your emails, so you don't have to check a computer. Presto transforms emailed messages into beautiful, easy-to-read letters with photos and other attachments automatically printed. Presto! You're reading printed emails that you paid for someone else to print. That might make you an e-hole.

Flexpetz
Dogs are man's best friend. Just like a best friend, they are even more enjoyable in small doses and when they aren't pissing on the new rug. Now with a subscription to Flexpetz, a person can rent pets and drop them off when they are done. Need a husky for long walks in the winter snow? A Doberman for protection from a scorned ex? Just pick a breed and have them for a day, a week or even ... eh, that's long enough.

PB&J of the Month
Sure, it's the go-to food for the young and penniless. But regular peanut butter and jelly can get tiresome when you're feasting on it 20 days out of the month. Join a PB&J of Month Club, and they will send a new peanut butter brand and flavored jelly each time. Feel like a world traveler while sampling products from as far off as New Hampshire! Goes great with a bread of the month club.
NY Times Crossword of the Month
So, this is how newspapers are going to survive? Charging for crosswords. How much to read Hagar the Horrible or Dr. Gott? Sure, there is a cult following of the Times puzzle, but it seems like you can go to the bookstore or a magazine stand and get crosswords for much cheaper. Maybe even subscribe to the paper and get everything else that goes along with it like ads, coupons and that story you already read online. What is a five-letter word for "person getting crosswords delivered"? The first two letters are M and O, and the last is N.
Lobster of the Month Club
Just the other day on the MSNBC scroll, there was a quote from an economist saying that the United States was approaching a "'30s-like depression." I wonder how much it cost to have lobster delivered in the 1930s? Oh, right, it wasn't available because people didn't have any money.
Sex Toy Club
Keep your sex life spicy with a special gift in the mailbox each month, starting off with vibrating lipstick. Of course, getting a new sex toy each month doesn't mean you'll have sex all that more often, but it's nice to know you'll get reminded of that on the first of each month. Think of it as a water bill or dentist checkup card for your libido.
