Libro.fm

A subscription to an audiobook service will provide them with countless hours of entertainment, and if you gift them one from Libro.fm, they'll be able to support the independent bookstore of their choice, too. If you have a specific book in mind, you can even send it from the app.

Storyworth

They can preserve memories for generations to come with Storyworth. Each week for a year they'll get an email prompt about their lives that will be turned into a beautifully bound book. You can select questions for the recipient, choose from Storyworth's library, or edit existing ones.

Walgreens Same-Day Pickup Photo Gifts

Walgreen's offers same-day service for photo books, personalized wall art, and more. It's the sort of gift that will have them thinking you planned it months ago.

Rosetta Stone Language Learning

5.0 Outstanding

Rosetta Stone is one of the best ways to learn a new language. The program offers 23 languages, each one available with a three-month or one-year subscription. There's also a lifetime subscription option if you want to go all-out!

Broadway HD

3.5 Good

Broadway is back, but if seeing a show live isn't in your giftee's immediate future, you can bring the show to them—or shows, that is. BroadwayHD streams plays and musicals past and present with a subscription. If you include a Grubhub gift card they can have both dinner and a show on you.

Havenly

If your loved one has a Pinterest board full of design ideas but doesn't know how to implement them, Havenly can help. Interior design is a skill, and the service connects clients with professionals who can offer room planning and assistance, either remotely or in person. You can gift two levels of Havenly and add some merchandise credit, too.

ClassPass

Joining a gym or signing up for a spa package without knowing exactly what to expect can result in regret. But your giftee doesn't have to be locked in with ClassPass, which lets them try out classes and services at gyms, studios, salons, and spas without having to commit.

Bookshop.org Gift Card

They can shop for books online and still support their local independent bookstore by using a Bookshop.org gift card. When they fill up their online cart, they can select a bookstore to receive the full profit on their purchase. Gift cards come in values from $10 to $1,000.

Goldbelly Gift Card

Whether someone's missing the tastes of home or wants to try food from far away, a Goldbelly gift card can deliver deliciousness. There are already prepared foods and food kits. You can set a delivery time for a digital gift card and in the gift message maybe make a recommendation for something you've tried and enjoyed.

Headspace

Headspace (for iPhone)

Headspace is so much more than a meditation app. It offers sleep solutions, workout programs, yoga instruction, and tools for focus. A subscription can add to your loved one's well-being in lots of ways.

Pusheen Box

If they're fans of famously carefree Pusheen or just gravitate toward anything cute, the Pusheen Box is for them. Each seasonally themed gift is packed with adorable items featuring the face of Pusheen and her friends.

Mubi

3.5 Good

An overload of choices plague streaming subscribers but the movies available aren't always at the top of the lists for cinephiles. Mubi adds a new, critically acclaimed film to its offerings every day, and it also hosts a community with which to discuss its films.

Mubi review

Cozymeal

Cooking can be a chore, but an online, interactive class in your loved one's own kitchen can change all that. Cozymeal and Sur La Table both have lots of courses to choose from where they can make dishes like this one from the latter's Meet Me in Little Italy. Cozymeal even offers the ability to get all of the ingredients delivered to their door ahead of class.

Airbnb Experiences

Airbnb Experiences can be enjoyed at home or away. Local experts host a huge variety of experiences, including exploring Brooklyn's street art and baking croissants in Paris. There's something's bound to be available in (or near) their own backyard or wherever they're traveling to next. Buy a specific experience or get a gift card so they can choose.

Crafter Digital Classes

Crafter offers digital classes that teach them how to make beautiful and useful objects—woven rugs, botanical plaster casts, carved wooden spoons, paper star lanterns, and lots more. Just make sure when you choose a class to add the needed materials to your purchase
