In the time of social distancing and staying home, it’s hard to express gratitude, show love or celebrate with friends and family. Here are some of our favorite virtual gifts to share:
1. Kindle Books
  Avid reader? Graphic novel enthusiast? The Amazon Kindle Book store has tons of options. Get the recipient’s email address and you can purchase for immediate delivery.
2. Amazon Gift Cards
  In addition to generic Amazon gift cards, you can also purchase from different vendors. It’s super easy, but they do have minimum amounts on most of them ($25 being the most common I’ve seen).
3. Local booze delivery
  Here in CO Springs we have a service called Drizly, where you can pick out and purchase beer, wine or liquor to have delivered straight to their door.
4. Wine Gift Card
  If you’re like us, we are total novices when it comes to choosing wine for other people based on their preferences. We know what we like, but we definitely struggle picking out wines that suit other people’s tastebuds. Wine.com delivers and offers e-gift cards to send right away.
5. Starbucks gift cards
  If they have the Starbucks app, they can just load it to their account and hit up a drive-thru! If you aren’t sure, but you have their email address, you can also send this directly through Amazon. As a fun addition, you could let them know your favorite secret menu drink concoction.
6. Subscription Boxes
  Oh my gosh, do we love subscription boxes. I will share a post about my favorites later, but there are so many to choose from. Some of our top choices that make excellent gifts are:
  1. Birchbox
  2. Lootcrate
  3. Snacknation (which is doing some awesome stuff to help support people in need)
  4. Succulents
  5. BattlBox (outdoor & survival gear)
  6. Cairn (outdoor gear)
  7. Hunt a Killer (murder mystery that unfolds over 6 months)
  8. UnboxBoardom (board games)
  9. BarkBox (pet gifts galore!)
7. A handmade card
  I love, love, love my Cricut. I make cards all the time and love to mail some homemade sunshine. Plus, it keeps my hands busy when I get stir-crazy Stay tuned for a future post about Cricut projects.
8. A puzzle
  Give them the gift of something to do while in quarantine! B and I love to put together puzzles and then frame them as some fun artwork. Right now, we are working on a 500 piece Monet, which we bought from Urban General Store (support local businesses, y’all!)
9. Flowers
  Who doesn’t love to see a bouquet in their house? There are quite a few services out there, but I tend to use this one or this one.
10. Photo gifts
  I love some sentimental gifts! There are some super easy things to send on Shutterfly (I promised easy), but there are also some really elaborate things you could put together, depending on how much time you find yourself with.
11. BONUS: I thought of this as I was watching TV and remembered that I had recently joked with a family member about sending them a Netflix subscription so we could talk about our latest binge obsession, but since I haven’t done it, this counts as a bonus item, but send a subscription streaming service like Netflix, Hulu or HBO.
