Speaking of gifts to give to Christmas, to friends or relatives more passionate about technology, instead of buying something physical that you can touch, you can make a digital gift in the form of subscriptions, premium services or gift cards . The idea of a digital gift is certainly original, it can make a good impression and can be ideal for a distant person or for a last minute gift, when in a hurry, to recover on the fly and make a nice surprise .
There are therefore at least 6 types of digital gifts that can be easily and easily made by anyone and for anyone .
1) A gift card for the App Stores for applications, music, books
We have already seen how you can give credit to the Apple, Android and Windows Phone stores .
Buying a gift card leaves the recipient the choice of what to take with that credit, whether applications for the smartphone or albums, books, films or songs on the Apple and Google Play stores.
On the Apple website, the guide to gift iTunes credit, directly from the iPhone
2) Amazon digital gifts: vouchers, music or books
On the largest online store in the Amazon world, you don't necessarily have to buy something to be sent, but you can also buy digital objects such as music or books in the form of an ebook.
It is also possible to give a gift voucher on Amazon in different ways, which can be spent as you prefer, by choosing, from this page, what type of voucher to buy.
On the left side of the page you can choose how to send the gift voucher, if by email, if as a voucher to be printed, if with a box and then also for what occasion: for Christmas, for birthday, thanks, for friendship, for Mother's Day etc. .
3) The classic discount voucher for a dinner, a trip or a shop
The discount coupon or coupon can be bought and printed directly from one of the sites with discounts, coupons and offers such as Groupon and always have a certain time validity so that those who receive it can spend it when they wish.
Just look for other online stores such as Zalando to give coupons to spend on the purchase of clothing .
4) The premium subscription to an online service
To a friend who makes extensive use of some free services, you could give a premium subscription for more benefits and a full service.
For many people, buying a premium package on an online service is a bit of a savable luxury, so they should appreciate it a lot.
For example, you can give a subscription to Dropbox to have 1000 GB of space to save files, a subscription to Spotify to listen to streaming music without limits or a subscription to Office 365 to use Word, Excel and Powerpoint programs online from any PC.
5) Subscription to watch movies online
On TV, advertisements promote subscriptions to Sky or Mediaset Premium as Christmas gifts, which can certainly be appreciated, but which still require a certain commitment on the part of the recipient (even if I am not informed about it, notoriously the cancellation after the deadline has not it's never that easy to do).
As an online streaming movie viewing service, an interesting and welcome option can be Infinity TV (among the best online movie rental sites) which, from its main page, allows you to buy subscriptions for one, two or three months to give to Christmas.
An excellent idea is also the Netflix gift card, the online service to watch movies and TV shows in streaming.
6) Give away a video game from Steam
Steam is the most popular online store for PC video games.
You can then follow the guide of the Steam Gifts program to give a voucher to spend in the store and leave the choice of the game to be bought to those who receive it.
