The right subscription service for the right person is the ultimate "I see you" present, the kind of gift they'll appreciate every time they log into the news service you gave them, or every time the box with a tasty meal or cool gadget arrives on their porch. Below are the best gift subscriptions for every type of person, from the snobby cinephile to the terminally online.
The best gift subscription for a doomscroller: A digital subscription to The New York Times
If you're looking for a gift for someone who is constantly doomscrolling, get them a subscription to the New York Times. Its old-school, objective reporting is the antidote to social media alarmism, and it also has good recipes and the best puzzles. An all-access subscription opens up the full New York Times archive going back to 1851, NYT Cooking, daily crosswords, and the 10,000-puzzle archive (including Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, and all of your other favorite time-wasters).
The best gift subscription for a bookworm: Audiobooks from Libro.fm
Libro.fm lets users listen to audiobooks while supporting their local independent bookstore, instead of supporting a huge corporation that shall go unnamed. Libro's content is free of the digital rights management of its main competitor, so users can listen to the books they own however they like instead of being locked into a proprietary player. Libro's firm anti-AI-narration stance ensures you aren't paying for robotic readers, and users can choose which independent bookstore to support through Libro's profit-sharing model.
The best gift subscription for the takeout-dependent: Ready-made chef-quality meals CookUnity
If someone you know is drowning in debt from paying for DoorDash and Uber Eats, get them a sub to CookUnity. It's not one of those services that delivers ingredients and instructions; CookUnity provides restaurant-quality meals created by star chefs like Esther Choi and Marcus Samuelsson for around $11 each, and the only "cooking" required is a little microwaving.
The best gift subscription for a cinephile: Obscrure entertainment from Eternal Family
If you're buying a gift for a film lover who thinks The Criterion Channel is too mainstream, hit them with a membership to Eternal Family, a streaming service that bills itself as the "hidden gem video store." They don't mean "hidden gems" that are actually widely known, like The Prestige or something. This is the uncut stuff, like Heino Pars' achingly beautiful 1983 stop-motion film Valley of the Honey Makers (way better than Bee Movie) or In the Dust of the Stars, a visionary science fiction film made behind the Iron Curtain in Romania in 1976. Every option is a different strange delight you likely can't watch anywhere else.
