Amazon Prime
If your aunt, sister, or friend still doesn’t have Amazon Prime, now is the time to show them what they’re missing. Prime just makes life incredibly easy. Not only will they get free two-day shipping on anything they need from Amazon—from books to cleaning supplies to pet food to home goods (it would take us all day to list, of course), but they also get the gift of movies and Amazon Original programming, like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Also included? More than a thousand free Kindle books and magazines. They will be delighted.
Shop it: Amazon Prime membership, $13/monthly, amazon.com
Kindle Books
Even if you didn’t have time to grab a physical copy of that great book you’ve heard about, you can give it to the Kindle user on your list in the form of a Kindle gift card. Up the ante by including our list of the best books of 2019 for some inspiration.

Rent the Runway Subscription
Anyone who wants to look their best every day (not just the fashionista on your list) would love the chance to constantly refresh her closet.

There are all sorts of subscription permutations, starting at $69 a month—and each option gives her access to thousands of designer styles, from party clothes to workwear to weekend duds. All without the stress of shopping, returning, dry cleaning, or that blah feeling of “nothing good to wear.” It’s really pretty simple: new clothes every month makes getting dressed fun again.

You can put anywhere from $15 to $100 on the card. Perfect for that person on your list who’s a bit of a mystery to you—your kid’s teacher, your yoga teacher—and an easy win with teens, who are so difficult to buy for.

Blue Apron subscription
The ingredient-and-recipe meal kit extraordinaire Blue Apron is a fantastic gift for a few different types of folks on your list: those just learning to cook; those who are incredibly busy and have no time to go to the market; and those who are ready to zhush up their tired old habits in the kitchen (as in, stuck in a rut of making the same five things over and over). In short, just about everyone. Your recipient will get a box containing beautiful fresh ingredients, apportioned perfectly, with well-written instructions for meal preparation. He or she will think of you fondly with every delicious bite.
