Yes, the best gift cards are a convenient last-minute present when Christmas is hours away and you still have gifts to order. They’re one of the few gifts exempt from roadblocks like shipping delays and out of stock products—and they’re one of the few luxury gifts you don’t have to wrap. But while gift cards are highly convenient, they’re not lacking in thoughtfulness or care. When all else is missing from the shelf or scheduled to deliver in 2024, a carefully selected gift card or a membership to a new subscription box shows your friends and family you know their taste. Better yet, it lets them pick out exactly what they want. You can also get creative with options like virtual classes, streaming subscriptions, and certificates to shop vintage. That is, picks that won’t get lost in the mail and have a personal touch.
The following 39 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 from gifts under $100 to true luxury gifts…but we’ll leave you our gift card list just in case.
