Kindle eBooks or Kindle Unlimited

Even if someone doesn’t own a physical Kindle, they can still read Kindle books on their phone or computer using Amazon’s free apps. That makes digital books a surprisingly flexible gift.

You can gift individual Kindle titles if you know what they’re into, or go for Kindle Unlimited, which opens up a library of a few million books and magazines for a fixed monthly fee. For students, parents, or anyone who reads constantly, a Kindle Unlimited subscription gives them more than enough to stay busy for months.

Amazon’s gifting flow lets you pick a date and add a message, so you can schedule delivery for a specific day. Pair it with a note about “reading more in the new year,” and you’ve turned a digital code into a thoughtful resolution-friendly present.
