Uzone.id — The holiday season is here! It’s the time of year when everyone’s busy decorating the house, sipping hot chocolate, and preparing perfect gifts for someone they love. It’s the moment of celebrating Christmas and New Year—and wrapping gift(s).
But let’s be honest—not all of us have the time and energy to go to the mall or are patient enough to wait for shipping delays. As we all know, there are two types of people in the world: those who do all their holiday shopping months before D-Day and those who wait until the very last minute.
But don’t worry, that’s where digital gifts come in, saving the day like a holiday superhero.
Not only are they super easy to send, but they are also thoughtful, trendy, and useful. Each of the following gifts is delivered online, so you don’t have to worry about shipping costs or delivery times.
Streaming Service Subscriptions
Do you have a friend constantly quoting shows you’ve never seen? Gift them a subscription to a streaming service like Netflix, Disney+, or Spotify Premium. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, whether they’re binging the latest series or jamming to their favorite playlists. Bonus points if you know their all-time favorite artist or genre and recommend a killer playlist to go with it.
E-Gift Cards—but Make It Personal
This one is one of the easiest ones. If you don’t have much time to run into your nearest store to grab a gift card, e-Gift is the only option that offers a huge selection of electronic gift cards that arrive instantly via email.
They’re versatile, practical, and take zero wrapping effort. But here’s the hack: make it personal!
If your bestie’s obsessed with makeup, go for a Sephora e-gift card. If your cousin loves gaming, grab a Steam or PlayStation Store credit. It shows you’ve thought about it, even if it took you all five minutes to send.
You can even include an online greeting card, invite others to contribute, and add a photo or video for a more personalized touch.
Virtual Game Passes
Game consoles are certainly among the most popular gift ideas every year. A virtual game pass would be a perfect gift if you know someone so good that they’re getting a new Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X/S.
Xbox Game Pass or Nintendo eShop credit is perfect for the gamer in your life. It’s quick to send and gives them endless games to enjoy instantly, so you’re covered even if you forgot to shop until the last minute.
Online Classes–Masterclass
Do you know someone who always says, “I’ve been meaning to learn that,” but never gets around to it? Help them out by offering an online class.
Platforms like MasterClass, Skillshare, or Coursera offer everything from photography to cooking to business skills. It’s like giving them a New Year’s resolution starter pack.
MasterClass is almost an elevated streaming platform. It’s perfect for anyone who loves quoting articles or documentaries or who prefers something more sophisticated than reality TV.
E-Books or Audiobook Subscriptions
Have a friend who loves to read but is always on the go? An e-book or audiobook subscription is the perfect choice. Services like Kindle Unlimited or Audible give them access to thousands of titles. To make it extra special, throw in a recommendation of your favorite book.
Also, If you know someone who got a new Kindle for the holidays, outfitting them with a Kindle Unlimited subscription will ensure they can get reading immediately.
Fitness or Meditation Apps
Have a health-conscious friend who’s always looking for ways to stay active? Gift them a subscription to a fitness app like Peloton, a meditation app like Calm or ClassPass, or a wellness subscription service for dabbling in different studio classes, gyms, and spa/beauty treatments.
It’s a thoughtful way to help them healthily start their New Year’s goals.
Charitable Donations
Want to spread holiday cheer and do some good in the world? Make a charitable donation in someone’s name. Pick a cause close to their heart – animal rescue, climate change, education – and let them know their gift makes a difference. It’s the ultimate feel-good and blessed present.
Digital Design Subscriptions
If your friend is a budding content creator or entrepreneur, give them something practical like Canva Pro, design templates, or a Photoshop subscription for a month or year. It’s a small thing that can make a big difference in their projects, and they’ll think of you every time they use it.
Digital gifts are more than just a backup plan. They’re thoughtful, versatile, and oh-so-easy to give. Plus, they’re perfect for those who live for last-minute holiday vibes. So, whether you’re shopping for your best friend, sibling, or even that coworker you barely know, there’s a digital gift out there that’ll make their holiday season extra cheerful.
