I think we all have someone who is hard to shop. If that’s not the case they may have everything or maybe they are reducing clutter in their home.

This is when a streaming service may be a great gift.

There are so many options out there now from music to TV/movies/original content to even audiobooks or digital books.

Consider the person’s interests

If you are thinking of gifting a streaming service as a gift consider the person and their interests. Are they someone who loves audiobooks or likes to watch TV or movies during their downtime?

This will give you a starting point. Then you can check out the options available as well as think of your budget for the gift.

AMC plus is a great service. They offer oringla content as well as access to other services such as Shudder, BBC America and Others. If y you are a fan of the Walking Dead you can check out that content as well.

They have a monthly or yearly pricing plan. They also have an ad-free or ad based plan too.

My parents and I loved Dark Winds. I also liked the Interview with a Vampire series. Being that it’s a newer service some of the content may be limited but they do offer a fair amount of content.
