6. Charity gift card: Instead of giving someone a physical gift, it can be a great idea to donate to a cause in their name. If you’re unsure what cause they’re most passionate about, try giving a charity gift card. You can send it electronically, and then they can choose from a list of participating organizations. (CharityChoice: Gift cards available starting at $2)
7. A trip to the spa: For those people who really need to relax — but would never think to buy themselves a massage or facial. (Spafinder: Gift cards available starting at $25)
8. Skydiving: For the daredevil who’s always up for anything, or for the friend who always talks about wanting to skydive but hasn’t quite mustered the courage before. Find a skydiving center in your area and make sure to ask about holiday discounts. (Skydive Philadelphia: $149 Christmas special; Skydive Chicago: Gift cards available starting at $25)

9. Personal stylist: For the friend who recently started a new job and needs help finding appropriate attire — or who could simply use a hand finding more flattering clothing. Personal stylists from sites like Stitch Fix will mail five items they think you’ll like and you only pay for keep. (Stitch Fix: Gift Cards available starting at $20)
10. Taylor Swift’s 1989: As we all know, Taylor Swift’s newest album (or any of her music, for that matter) isn’t available on Spotify. So go ahead and purchase an electronic version as a gift for that friend who’s been meaning to listen to it — or for those other friends who insist they hate Taylor Swift, so you can try to change their minds. (iTunes: $12.99; Google Play: $12.49)
