You get the option to write a custom message and enter the delivery date, which can be their birthday or anniversary date.

2. Netflix Subscription Gift

Do your loved ones keep nagging about not having a Netflix subscription? Maybe is time you gift them a Netflix subscription to them. Netflix is one of the best gift ideas for movie lovers because it has all the movies, and Netflix original/exclusive shows as well. Be it the popular show The Crown or the new season of Ozark, you can gift all these shows to the person who always longed for them.

Netflix gift cards are not generated online, like Disney Plus. They are provided by online retailers like Walmart, Amazon, New Egg, Target, etc. The subscription gift starts from $25 and goes up to $200, depending on these retailers’ services. Amazon provides subscription gift cards that enable you to watch everything on Netflix while the others miss out on one or two elements.

Once you get hold of this card, notify your gift’s recipient about their awaiting surprise. The recipient can then visit Netflix’s official website to receive their gift and use it until the balance runs out.

3. HULU subscription gifts

HULU is the best option if you are pondering upon giving a streaming service as a gift to your loved ones. Like Netflix, you don’t get a gift card on its site. Instead, you will have to buy one from retailers like Target or any other third party gift card provider.

You can opt for any of the pricing plans and make a perfect gift out of it for your special person who loves to binge-watch movies and other series. The gift card starts from $25 and goes up to $100. However, the services you get at this amount depending on the retailer you buy the ticket from because they all differ in their services.

The gift card you buy will be sent to the recipient through mail or a physical card delivered at their home. After they are notified about the gift card, the recipients can then redeem it from the official website of HULU and enjoy their gift. After the card’s balance is exhausted, the account will automatically get suspended and work upon recharging it.

4. Amazon Prime Subscription Gift

Another great gift ideas for movie lovers has arrived here on our list. Amazon prime is the most opted streaming platform after Netflix. Besides watching movies and shows, you can also shop online and buy products that get delivered early and for free.

Prime Membership costs $119 a year and comes in handy for your friends and family who are both the movie and shopping lovers. Since you won’t get a monthly subscription gift on Amazon, it would be best to present someone with a yearly membership. With this gift, your movie lovers will get enough time to complete all their Prime desires and have a good time watching them.

Unlike Netflix, Amazon’s Gift cards cannot be sourced from other major retailers. You will have to visit the official account of Amazon and go to the gift prime option. You will then have to open your Amazon account and make the payment of the gift card you are opting for. Upon paying, you will have to mention the recipient’s email, delivery date, and a special message for the special occasion.

6. Gift a TV show or a Single Movie

All this while, we discussed how you could gift an entire one year or a few month’s subscriptions to your friends or family. But why spend extra for those shows which they won’t even look at? The best solution to this dilemma is Apple TV. If you know what the other person likes watching or desires to watch but has no means for it, you can gift an Apple TV gift card.

With this gift card, you can buy either a single movie that your gift recipient wants to watch or an entire season of any show. This gift works the best for both the provider and the receiver.

The recipient gets what he wants, and you who is giving that present gifts a useful gift at a lower price.

For generating the gift card, visit the iTunes store and select the movie or the TV show. After selecting, click on the share icon and then select the gift option. With such simple steps, you can effortlessly create an excellent gift for your loved ones.

7. HBO MAX Gift Cards

HBO NOW, the earlier streaming platform, had gift cards that are now discontinued after HBO MAX’s arrival. Even though the new version has been introduced, there are no gift cards included in HBO MAX.

Since this streaming platform is famous for movies like Wonder Woman, the upcoming releases like Dune and The Matrix 4, the curiosity has increased among the viewers. That is why you should gift the subscription of this platform to others.

With no gift cards available, you can provide cash to the other person who can then use it for a subscription. The other alternative to this method is by signing up on others’ behalf and purchasing a six month’s subscription for them.

Opting for a six-month plan is more economical than paying the amount beforehand. So, sign up today on HBO MAX’s official website and create an account on behalf of your loved ones.
