You Can’t Screw This Up! 12 Gift Cards That Are Perfect for Any Recipient

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Some say that digital gift cards are way too impersonal to give to your friends and family. After all, there's nothing to open, apart from your email app! We say au contraire. Gift cards give the recipient exactly what they want without your having to stress about it. And we think that's a pretty generous gifting solution for everyone involved.

Beyond these retailers in our list, you can also consider a gift card to a local business through the platform Help Main Street, which Eniac Ventures founder Nihal Mehta launched in March 2020 in response to the devastating economic impact of the pandemic.

But no matter where or how much you choose to gift, you can rest assured that you'll make their entire holiday. Check out our list of the best gift cards below.

Amazon e-Gift Card

The Amazon gift card may be the best one-size-fits-all gift that there is. You can choose your exact gift amount, and your recipient might opt to spend your generous credit on groceries, household supplies, or a totally frivolous splurge item, and it's all available on the internet superstore.

But did you also know that Amazon actually sells tons of different e-gift cards to various services? Treat them to months of Netflix, Spotify, Fortnite, and countless other entertainment platforms on your dime.

Lensabl e-Gift Card

Lensabl is one of our favorite one-stop shops for all things eyewear. They stand out a bit, too, in that they offer lens replacements on their site in addition to glasses, contacts, and sunglasses.

We think this is a great gift to get someone who owns a few pairs of glasses, so they'll never have to stress about replacing lenses when their prescription changes. This e-gift card is available in fixed amounts ranging from $30 to $300.

EleVen by Venus Williams Gift Card

Equal parts feminine and fierce, all of the finds from EleVen's entire activewear line is fit for a pro (or, you know, an avid ClassPass user).

Launched by tennis champion Venus Williams, the brand features comfortable, stylish separates that comprise UV-protected, quick-drying material, and they stretch in just the right areas to ensure your sporty recipient will have a full range of motion for any activity. The gift cards range from $25 to $500.

Winter is coming, so ensure that their hibernation hub is loaded up with the finest entertainment available.

Just keep in mind that this gift is for new subscribers only.

Parachute Digital Gift Card

Direct-to-consumer brand Parachute built its name in high-quality bedding, but they've since extended to plenty of other areas of the home. They now have an impressive selection of bath towels, area rugs, and table linens that are perfect for the aesthete in your life who loves the finer things.

Don't even try to pick out what they might like — this gift card (ranging in amounts from $50 to $500) will do the work for you.

Etsy e-Gift Card

If your gift recipient has an eye for original designs and a passion for shopping small, look no further than a gift card to Etsy. This maker-powered marketplace has everything from small-batch beauty to handmade garments to art prints galore. We also love that the site is also making it easier than ever to shop and support Black-owned businesses.

Huckberry e-Gift Card

Getting a gift for a true renaissance man? Go with a gift card to Huckberry, available in amounts from $25 to $500. The brand carries under-the-radar and cult-favorite clothing, footwear, home, kitchen, and outdoor brands. He may never think to get these types of things for himself, so splurge on his behalf.

Whether you're looking to gift someone the equivalent of a new fishing pole or a brand-new tent for their whole family, the REI gift card has you covered.

For campers and outdoorspeople of all stripes, this outdoors emporium and member-owned co-op sells nearly all of the top brands for camping gear, clothing, and even fitness equipment. The digital gift card is available in denominations from $10 to $1,000.

Sun Basket Gift Credit

A premium meal kit service focusing on more nuanced preferences like paleo, gluten-free, and low-carb diets, Sun Basket provides creative menu options that taste fabulously flavorful. Its gift credit is available in custom amounts.

Because of its consciously sourced, high-quality ingredients, this meal kit is a little more expensive than others out there (at roughly $72 for three meals per week), so it makes a generous gift for the person whom you'd like to treat to dinner.

Bloomscape e-Gift Card

We all know that a plant parent's windowsill garden is never complete. But rather than risk gifting them a plant that's way too high maintenance or incompatible with their home's light level, a gift card to Bloomscape is foolproof.

This site is a plant lover's paradise, offering plants and trees of all sizes housed in minimalist pots and shipped right to their door with all of the care instructions (and Plant Mom advice) that they could ever need. Choose between a $50, $100, or $200 gift credit.
