Sometimes gift cards make the best gifts. Technology fans have a number of different means, and finding a piece of tech for the guru in your life might be an exercise in futility, which means the gift card alternative means less of a hassle when shopping. Of course, the digital devices of today, including the iPad, iPod, any Kindle, and any Nook have demands that gift cards can easily satisfy. Here is a look at some popular gift card options for the tech fan on your shopping list:
Hulu Plus Gift Subscription / Gift Card
Hulu Plus is a popular video streaming option for many electronic devices. The app allows users to view thousands of television episodes from current and past shows, and a gift card or gift subscription is always a great idea. Since Hulu Plus only costs $8 per month, gift givers can really get some bang for their buck.
X Box Live Gift Card
Many X Box 360 owners pay the monthly fee associated with putting their X Box online in the form of an X Box Live subscription. Fortunately, the cards and gift subscriptions are widely available, and some represent substantial savings over a month to month plan. If someone on your list is an X Box fan and uses Netflix, ESPN, or Hulu Plus, they will almost certainly shriek with joy when they unwrap the X Box Live gift card. Of course, an X Box Points Card allows the user to download games and other content as well, which is another option.
iTunes Gift Card
Anyone with an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Apple TV would probably appreciate the chance to choose their own digital content from iTunes, and there are several different gift card amounts available for the popular music, television, and movie store.
Amazon Gift Card
One thing that new Kindle Fire does not come with is content, which means stocking the device is a must. Fortunately, Amazon gift cards are widely available in whatever amount the shopper is looking to spend. The gift card can buy books, movies, music, and more on the huge Internet retailer’s website. If only shopping for everyone was this easy!
Barnes & Noble Gift Card
Nook owners spend a lot of time looking for that perfect gift, plus Nook Tablet owners need some content to display on the device. A Barnes & Noble gift card provides a ton of options for Nook owners, and allows them to sort through the catalog at the large book retailer and select their own digital merchandise or redeem the card in a store for an actual book!
