30 gift cards you can give for the holidays that'll still feel personal
Brooklinen
Brooklinen makes the best high-end sheets at the best price on the internet. Have a gift card delivered digitally, or in a gift card box. You can find a full review of Brooklinen's sheets here.
Amazon
An Amazon gift card is a more polite version of giving them cash — with it, they can buy pretty much anything they've had on their wish list — whether it's new and exciting tech or completely utilitarian home basics. You can also buy it in a gift card box.
Spotify
They probably already have a Spotify account, but that doesn't mean they won't appreciate not having to pay for it for a while. A Spotify gift card lets you fund the next few months of something they love and use multiple times per day.
Starbucks
You may not be there every morning, but this is one of the easier ways to buy them a hot cup of coffee each day. There's also a gift card for Dunkin' if they're a different kind of loyalist.
Airbnb
Let them select the location and the company, but you'll foot the bill of their next great local or international adventure.
Journy
Journy acts like a personal travel concierge for $25 per day. An expert takes into account your preferences, plans, and feedback and designs the ideal trip — including booking hotels and making dinner reservations.
Netflix
Pair it with a bottle of wine, popcorn, and some warm and fuzzy socks for a perfect night (and month of January) spent inside and out of the cold.
Uber
Whether it's a necessary last-minute ride to the airport or a helpful splurge so they don't have to walk outdoors in the January chill, Uber gift cards are one of the most convenient gifts you can give.
Sephora
They already have their personal beauty favorites. This will just help them cringe a little less when they order them. Have it delivered digitally or mailed.
Nike
Nike also lets you pick from a swath of gift card designs, including team themes for the Lakers and Knicks.
Nordstrom
If you want to buy them a sweater you know they'll love, let them pick the sweater.
REI
Whether you're outfitting them for their next snowy hike or an afternoon spent in a ski lodge, you get to ensure they'll be able to get exactly the make and model of the boot or sweater they want along on the trip.
Away
Away's carry-ons are so popular because they're incredibly convenient. They come with an ejectable external battery that can charge a smartphone five times over, have 360-degree wheels, and only weigh seven pounds. It's a great gift — you just let them pick out their own color with a gift card.
Fandango
What's a better gift than a trip to the movies — especially with the release of so many blockbusters around the holidays? If you want to be extra generous, pick up the tab for the large popcorn as well.
Patagonia
Whether they spend this on one of the many Patagonia cult-favorites or not, you can be sure they'll get something great that'll last them for years.
Everlane
Everlane is a cult-favorite retail startup that is committed to conducting transparent business. They're especially loved for their $100 cashmere sweaters. You can find 13 of our favorite Everlane pieces to wear every day here.
Allbirds
Allbirds makes the world's most comfortable shoes out of sustainable materials like merino wool, eucalyptus leaves, and foam made from sugar cane. They're especially popular in hubs like New York City and Silicon Valley.
Hulu
Gift them a Hulu gift card so they can binge watch The Handmaid's Tale and Project Runway in peace and from under a pile of blankets this winter.
ClassPass
ClassPass makes it easy to visit top-rated boutique studios and gyms for about half the typical drop-in rate ($15 or less per class). Users can use their ClassPass membership for bootcamps, cycling, Pilates, yoga, and more.
Daily Harvest
Daily Harvest is a healthy-eating startup that sends you delicious, nutritious meals and smoothies that are pre-packed in cups and take as little as 30 seconds to make. Recipes are designed by a chef and nutritionist, and all cups are under $10. Find a full review here.
Chipotle
Nothing says "I love you" like four Chipotle visits in which the recipient doesn't have to second-guess adding guacamole.
Xbox
They can spend it on the latest games and entertainment like movies, TV, music, apps, and more.
PlayStation
With this, they can download the latest games and add-ons, watch movies, and more from their PlayStation 4.
Sling
For $20 per month, users get access to 25 of the best channels, like CNN, ESPN, AMC, Disney, and the Food Network. With it, they'll never miss another episode of "This Is Us" again.
Macy's
Macy's has just about everything you could need for life or home, and they can stop by in person to shop or surf the selection at home on the couch.
Visa
This actually is the way to just give them money. You can leave it up to them to find the purchase that will make their life better, and you can feel good knowing you made it happen.
Whole Foods
Especially if they're a student, or if food is a big expense, they'll appreciate the help in a practical area of their life — especially if it's to a spot like Whole Foods where they can use their Prime benefits for extra savings on fresh food that's already pretty affordable.
Delta or Southwest airlines
Perfect for frequent travelers, and even better for family members who see trips home as opportunities to score more miles on their go-to airline. It's also easier than booking a trip for them yourself.
If they travel by train most frequently, there's also an Amtrak gift card.
Groupon
Groupon's daily deals include everything from pottery classes to beauty services to travel and fitness.
StubHub
Make sure they keep going to see live music, plays, and sporting events by grabbing them a gift card to the place that houses all those tickets.
