Even better, if your giftee hasn't seen Eternals yet, you can get them access to the Marvel flick ahead of its release on Disney+ on January 12, 2021. If you really want to treat someone, you could help them cut their cable cord by introducing them to the Disney+ / Hulu / ESPN+ bundle.

Ted Lasso is one of the most heartwarming TV shows out there, making it a perfect Christmas gift for those looking to binge. Apple TV+ is home to series like Ted Lasso as well as The Morning Show, Central Park and Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet and would make a great gift idea for people that already have streaming sticks or smart TVs.
If you already purchased an Apple product like an iPhone, Mac or more for your giftee, they may already have access to three free months of Apple TV+.
Get an Apple TV+ subscription starting at $4.99/month
6. For the oenophile: Winc subscription
Winc is one of our favorite wine subscriptions, and through the holidays you can get a discount on your first four bottles, but why stop there when you can also get four bottles for someone on your shopping list? Whether they're picky or open to trying new things, Winc will have at least one wine that will appeal to even the most discerning palate. If you're waiting to order until Christmas itself, you may as well sit down with your giftee and let them decide which wines they'd prefer to try.
Get Winc for $24.95 for four bottles
7. For the music lover: Spotify Premium subscription
A Spotify Premium subscription is one of the best gift options out there for music lovers, especially if someone you know spends most of their time with headphones on. Spotify Premium will give them access to thousands of songs and playlists without any ads, and they can start gearing up for their own Spotify Wrapped next year.
Get a Spotify Premium annual subscription from GameStop for $99
8. For the Nintendo Switch gamer: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond
There's a new Pokémon game out there, and if someone on your list has eagerly awaited the new installment or is constantly dreaming about the heyday of Pokémon GO, giving them this gift might be the move.

13. For the one who's obsessed with The Witcher: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
If someone on your list spent the week ahead of Christmas binging the second season of The Witcher, consider getting them the most recent Witcher game.

If they love the show, they'll love seeing favorites like Ciri, Triss Merigold, and more.
You can purchase the Witcher games as digital codes (and if you're sneaky, you can ensure they're uploaded to your giftees game console ahead of time). You can also purchase the game directly through your console of choice.
14. For the one who wants to get into meditation: Headspace
Headspace is a gift all of us could stand to benefit from this year, offering easy and often short guided meditations through an easy-to-use app. The service would make a great gift for those looking to get into mindfulness and meditation who don't necessarily know where to start.

15. For the one who loves their dog: BarkBox
You can never have too many dog toys, right? Surprise your giftee on Christmas Day by notifying them that they have a BarkBox on the way. Or, you can treat them to a gift card so that they can choose from BarkBox's selection of toys, treats and more for themselves.
We love everything that BarkBox offers for the price, and if you have a friend that loves their dog dearly, this is a great way to show them (and the dog) that you care.
Get BarkBox starting at $35/month

This is a great gift for anyone that loves curling up with a good book and a mug of tea in the winter.
18. For the romantic: Bouqs flowers
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.
Get a subscription to The Bouqs Co. starting at $40/month
19. For the fashionable one: Rent the Runway
Trying out new clothes and experimenting with style isn't something that's been entirely possible for a lot of people over the course of the last year, and if someone you're shopping for has mentioned that they've been missing out on all the new trends, consider treating them to two months of Rent the Runway. They'll get to pick out eight pieces per month to try out, keeping four for the course of the month to wear as they want.
