While traditional gifting involves boxes and bows, consider the idea of gifting one of the most coveted gifts of all: a digital subscription. Not only is this an easier and faster way to shop (it’s all online, of course), but with a variety of options, you are able to appeal to kids, teenagers and adults alike. The cost of digital subscriptions can add up quickly – which makes giving a loved one a digital subscription to their favorite service a creative and much-appreciated gift idea. Digital subscriptions are also great options if you’re shopping at the last minute because you don’t have to rely on shipping.
Tip: When you give a digital subscription as a gift, it often comes in the form of an email. To make this digital gift feel more special, be sure to include a note for personalization. The note could talk about how you remembered them mentioning that they wanted to learn Spanish, or wanting to take up meditation as a self-care practice.
We found some digital subscription gift ideas that offer something for everyone – and better yet, something for every budget.
