      Whether you’ve just forgotten until this point to get them a gift, or don’t want to deal with the strange and treacherous world that is holiday shipping this year, fear not. To help you get through the unique holiday season that is 2020, we’ve rounded up some of the best gifts that don’t need to be shipped, but still show that you care. That means you could buy them on Christmas Eve, and you’d still have an amazing present to give this year.

      3-Months of Audible

      If you know someone who loves audiobooks and doesn’t have an Audible membership, this is a no-brainer. Audible has thousands of audiobooks they can choose from, as well as podcasts, and with their new three month subscription, they can indulge in the all they can listen to buffet.

      Beast Inside

      Why not give them a gift they really want? A whole year of the Beast Inside. They can customize their Cheat Sheet, listen to bonus episodes of The New Abnormal, and read Member’s Only stories, too. Plus, you’d be supporting fearless journalism.

      Winc 1-Month Membership

      Or, give them some wine. Look, 2020 is rough and if you’re worried about wine not showing up in time, a gift card to Winc, one of our favorite wine delivery services, will allow them to celebrate in style.

      Buy at Allbirds$55

      3-Bag Trade Coffee Subscription
