question:

can the company do this:
later this year i think i want to give a friend a gift , i want them to get the monthly deliveries like i do but i want to pay for the subscription up front.
so they get the stuff all prepaid and i do not get a monthly bill.

is there a way right now to do that ?

if not perhaps the company might want to see how hard that would be to manage.
with it paid in advance that gets rid of the need to charge each month before shipping the box. and you have been paid for all the shipments in advance.

the only hassle i see if what to do if the receiver wants to cancel.
