Subscriptions are always well received:
Digital subscription services are companies that charge a monthly fee to stream web-based entertainment like music, movies, and TV shows. Companies like Hulu, Netflix, or Pandora offer subscription gift certificates and are almost certainly going to be a hit with the recipient, regardless of demographic. After all, it gives the recipient the freedom to choose her own content. And, who doesn’t have a series that they’ve been waiting to binge-watch over the holiday break?

Get Crafty:
Admittedly, these take a bit more time, but homemade gifts immediately carry a certain amount of cachet because of the work that went into making them. But the key to a successful craft is to go for a neutral product that everyone can enjoy, regardless of personal taste. If you knit, consider working on a scarf. Or, if cooking is more within your skill set, grab a mason jar and fill it with a jam, condiment, or pre-assembled cookie mix. Best of all, homemade gifts tend to cost far less than the retail price.

Aim for Comfort:
Though it might not be the most exciting gift-giving option, everyone appreciates things that make them feel a little more comfy during the winter months. It could be something as simple as a travel pillow and blanket set for your friend who likes to go on outdoor adventures, whimsical slippers for your coworker with a great sense of humor, or a collection of bath products for your relative who needs some “me time”.
