Spreading holiday cheer looks a little different in 2021. Blame supply chain disruptions, a phrase you hear everywhere from CNN to TikTok these days. This year has thrown shoppers curveball after curveball in the forms of extended shipping delays and “Out of Stock” notices. All those hurdles are frustrating during peak gifting season, we know. But we also know a reliable workaround, just in case: gift cards and subscriptions.
Gift cards aren’t a last-minute present anymore. They’re one of the few gifts exempt from this year’s giving roadblocks. When all else is missing from the shelf or scheduled to deliver in 2024, gift cards arrive immediately via email—and they show your friends and family you know their taste. You can also get creative with options like wine subscriptions, virtual classes, and certificates to shop vintage. That is, picks that won’t get lost in the mail and have a personal touch.
The following 45 gift cards and subscriptions don’t just make great presents; they’re guaranteed to arrive on time. If you’d like to mix in some non-virtual gifts, we have plenty of additional in-stock suggestions…but we’ll leave you our gift card list just in case.
