Maybe your loved one lives across the country or maybe you won't be able to see some of your friends and family in person this holiday due to the pandemic. Fear not—you can still get something for everyone on your list with just the click of a button. The best part? There's no shipping required.
At Reviewed, we're pros at finding the best gifts at the best prices—even ones that you can have delivered or sent without ever leaving your house. Below are the 8 best gifts to buy ASAP that don't require shipping.
1. For the Disney fan: Disney+
Forget Netflix—2020 has been the year of Disney+. The just-released streaming service makes a great gift for anyone who loves Disney or for anyone who's watched (and rewatched) all of their favourite shows on Netflix and are ready for something new. It has a vast library of entirely family-friendly entertainment, including animated Walt Disney classics, Pixar films, Star Wars, and Marvel movies. And you can actually get your loved one a Disney+ gift subscription, so it's easier than ever to gift one.
Give a yearly subscription to Disney+ for £59.99
2. For the person who wants to try something new: MasterClass
MasterClass is a great gift for people of all interests and all ages. Whether someone wants to learn cooking skills from Gordon Ramsey, photography from Annie Leibowitz, or basketball from Steph Curry, they can take as many classes as they want with the All-Access Pass. Our editor-in-chief tried it for himself and liked how inspiring the courses were.

3. For the person who never misses a workout: ClassPass
Spin, yoga, pilates, oh my! No matter what workout your giftee is into, they'll likely be able to find it on ClassPass. The app allows them to take classes at all different studios (including Orange Theory, SoulCycle, and Pure Barre) at a discounted rate using credits, so they can mix up their workouts each week. And if they don't want to go to public classes yet, there are plenty of pro-trainer-led classes they can livestream from home using the app.

4. For the music buff: Spotify Premium
We all have that friend who's constantly sending us new music to listen to and is rarely ever not wearing headphones. The best gift to give them this year? A premium subscription to Spotify. They'll have access to millions of songs (completely ad-free!) that they can listen to on any device, anywhere.
Give a Spotify gift card from Amazon starting at £30
5. For the one who's trying to meditate more: Headspace
Self-care is important every day—but it's especially important right now. And one way to help your friends and family relax is with a meditation app like Headspace, which has over 630,000 rave reviews. It has hundreds of calming guided meditations to choose from (some as short as two minutes!) along with a new "Move Mode" to help your giftee exercise more mindfully, too.
Give a subscription to Headspace Plus for £9.99/month
6. For the person who's impossible to shop for: Amazon gift cards
A gift card is a safe—and always popular—gift. And while they may not be able to go to the store right now, they can either save it for later or use it now to shop online.
7. For the gamer: PlayStation Store, Xbox Store or Nintendo eShop gift card
For some people, more time at home = more time playing video games. And for that, they'll need some new games to keep themselves entertained. Whether they have an Xbox, a Nintendo Switch, or a PlayStation, most gaming companies have online stores with tons of games to browse. Rather than choose a game for them, send them a gift card so they can download their favourite digital games that they'll be able to access them from anywhere.

8. For the person trying to learn a new language: Rosetta Stone
Bonjour! Hola! Guten Tag! No matter which language they want to add to your arsenal, Rosetta Stone can help. One of our writers tried the popular language-learning service for herself and was very impressed with the results after just a month. Compared to other similar apps, Rosetta Stone is much more thorough and even offers live or group sessions so your giftee can practice their new language skills.
