MasterClass is a great gift for people of all interests and all ages. Whether someone wants to learn cooking skills from Gordon Ramsey, photography from Annie Leibowitz, or basketball from Steph Curry, they can take as many classes as they want with the All Access Pass. Our editor-in-chief tried it for himself and liked how inspiring the courses were.
Get an All-Access Pass from MasterClass for $15/month
2. For the Disney fan: Disney+
Forget Netflix—2021 has been the year of Disney+. The just-released streaming service makes a great gift for anyone who loves Disney or for anyone who's watched (and rewatched) all of their favorite shows on Netflix and are ready for something new. It has a vast library of entirely family-friendly entertainment, including animated Walt Disney classics, Pixar films, Star Wars, and Marvel movies. And you can actually get your loved one a Disney+ gift subscription, so it's easier than ever to gift one.
Give a subscription to Disney+ for $7.99/month
3. For the e-book reader: Kindle Unlimited
Having a book to read no matter where you are is great. Lugging around said book is not. If you're shopping for someone who could use some better—and more convenient—entertainment while they're out and about (or just lounging at home), consider a subscription to Kindle Unlimited. They'll have instant access to thousands of e-books, audiobooks, and podcasts and they don't even need a Kindle—they can use the app on any device.
Give a subscription to Kindle Unlimited for $9.99/month
4. For the person who's super busy: Home Chef
They barely have time to cook, let alone brave the crowded grocery store. That's why your friend or family member will love a Home Chef subscription. Our experts chose it as the number meal kit delivery service because it delivers high-quality, fresh ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes (that taste delicious!) straight to your giftee's doorstep.
Shop Home Chef starting at $6.99/meal
5. For the one who prefers audiobooks: Audible
Audiobooks are a great gift for a lot of reasons: Your giftee can listen to them while they're driving, while they're working out, while they're cooking dinner—the list goes on. That's why Audible, the largest provider of audiobooks, is so highly recommended, especially now. Not only can they choose any book from biographies to best-selling fiction, but they can listen on almost every device imaginable.
Give a subscription to Audible Premium Plus from Amazon for $5.95/month
6. For the one who's trying to meditate more: Headspace
Self-care is important every day—but it's especially important right now. And one way to help your friends and family relax is with a meditation app like Headspace, which has over 630,000 rave reviews. It has hundreds of calming guided meditations to choose from (some as short as two minutes!) along with a new "Move Mode" to help your giftee exercise more mindfully, too.
Give a subscription to Headspace for $69.99/year
7. For the one with a celebrity crush: Cameo
You might not be able to secure them a date with their favorite celebrity but you can give them the next best thing: a personalized voice message. With Cameo, you simply pick the celeb of your choice (from actors to athletes to YouTube stars), send them your custom message, then wait for your own special recording. Your giftee will be over the moon when they hear Mandy Moore or Brett Favre wishing them a Merry Christmas.
8. For the oenophile: Firstleaf
Whether it's red, white, or rose, if it can be poured into a wine glass, chances are your giftee likes it. So what will they like even more than a bottle under the tree? Multiple bottles delivered every month. That's what they'll get with Firstleaf, our favorite wine subscription service.
Get a gift card from Firstleaf starting at $25
9. For the dog parent: BarkBox
According to one study, more people buy gifts for their dogs than their coworkers. If someone on your list is probably guilty of the same, help them spoil their four-legged friend with BarkBox. The subscription service delivers a box of treats, toys, and other dog accessories to your giftee each month, so both they and their pup will be happy.
Give a subscription to BarkBox starting at $35/month
10. For the person who spends all their money at Starbucks: Angel's Cup
If the first words out of their mouth when they wake up in the morning is "where's my coffee," they could benefit from Angel's Cup. It's the best gift coffee subscription we've ever tried because it will ship high-quality coffee beans straight to their door and even lets them try out a wide variety of coffee flavors. It's much more exciting than handing them a Starbucks gift card (again).
Give a subscription to Angel's Cup
11. For the music buff: Spotify Premium
We all have that friend who's constantly sending us new music to listen to and is rarely ever not wearing headphones. The best gift to give them this year? A premium subscription to Spotify. They'll have access to millions of songs (completely ad-free!) that they can listen to on any device, anywhere.
Give a Spotify gift card from Amazon starting at $30
12. For the person with a green thumb: The Sill monthly plant subscription

Give a one-year Amazon Prime Gift Membership from Amazon for $119
14. For the hopeless romantic: The Bouqs Co.
Why settle for the occasional bouquet of flowers on cliche holidays when you could have one every month? That's what your friends or family will get if you gift them a subscription to The Bouqs Co. You can choose the frequency that they'll receive their blooms (as often as once a month!) along with the type of flowers they'll get, from playful sunflowers to romantic roses.
Give a subscription to The Bouqs Co. starting at $40/month
15. For the person who loves a cuppa: Sips by
Sure, the tea lover in your life might like yet another Starbucks gift card—but they'd like a subscription to this monthly tea box even more. According to one of our editors who tried it out (and loved it!), the best part about Sips by is the variety. She says she was able to try more tea in three months than in her whole life and discovered new flavors and brands that she otherwise wouldn't have.
Give a subscription to Sips by starting at $15/month
16. For the person who always wants to grab drinks: Tippsy Sake
Your giftee's favorite hour is happy hour—and with Tippsy Sake, they can enjoy said happy hour from the comfort of their own home. The subscription service will deliver them three bottles of high-grade sake each month (even ones you can't find in stores!) from different breweries across Japan. We tried it for ourselves and found it to be a fun, creative alternative to just another bottle of wine or six-pack of beer.
Give a subscription to Tippsy Sake starting at $99/box
17. For the one who wants a clean shave: Billie Razor
Chances are high that you've seen an ad for the Billie razor on social media. But is the trendy razor really worth the hype (and worth gifting to anyone on your list)?

19. For the meat lover: Crowd Cow
Burgers, steak, wings—if it's meat, they'll eat it. Make them the happiest carnivore this holiday with a subscription to a meat delivery service like Crowd Cow. I've used Crowd Cow myself and am obsessed with how convenient it is and how delicious and high-quality all of the meat is. One of the best parts is that Crowd Cow only sources its products from independent ranchers and farmers who raise their livestock in a sustainable and ethical way without any added hormones or unnecessary antibiotics.

20. For the person who's always ordering takeout: DoorDash or GrubHub gift card
Mexican, Italian, Chinese—it doesn't matter what the cuisine is. If your giftee doesn't have to cook it, they'll take it.

They'll be able to choose whatever their heart—or rather, their stomach—desires come Friday night.

A new year often brings about new health and fitness resolutions for many. A Noom subscription can help them stay the course and achieve their goals through it's app-based weight loss program.

We all know that one person who's always stressed out. A.k.a. they could definitely use a subscription to TheraBox.
